The paper identifies an invasive soft coral, Xenia umbellata, in Cuban waters and discusses its potential introduction pathways and ecological impact.

The paper reports the first record of the invasive soft coral species Latissimia ningalooensis in southern Puerto Rico, following the introduction of Xenia umbellata.

The paper updates the number of mitochondrial gene order arrangements in octocorals from seven to twelve and explores their evolutionary implications.

The paper identifies a new invasive soft coral species, Xenia umbellata, in southwest Puerto Rico using genetic analysis and highlights its ecological impact.

This paper uses phylogenomic analysis to show that clownfish-hosting sea anemones diversified coincidently with clownfishes, supporting co-evolutionary patterns in their mutualistic relationship.

This paper presents the first complete draft genome of the octocoral Renilla muelleri using a hybrid de novo assembly, providing a resource for studying gene evolution in Anthozoa.

The paper designs and tests RNA baits to capture phylogenetically informative loci in anthozoans, successfully resolving evolutionary relationships across multiple taxa.
