Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work contrasts the Linnaean perspective on cnidarian diversity with the modern, phylogenetic perspective, and details diversity at the family level, providing phylogenetic context where possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) based on mitochondrial protein-coding sequences.
TL;DR: The failure of these mitochondrial genes as well as previous 18S rDNA studies to resolve many of the deeper nodes within the tree suggest that octocorals underwent a rapid radiation and that large amounts of sequence data will be required in order to resolve the basal relationships within the clade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limitations of mitochondrial gene barcoding in Octocorallia.
TL;DR: The limitations of mitochondrial gene barcoding in the sub‐class Octocorallia, a large, diverse, and ecologically important group of anthozoans, are examined, finding a COI’+ igr1 +‰msh1 barcode nonetheless represents a valuable addition to the depauperate set of characters available for octocoral taxonomy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic Analyses Support Traditional Relationships within Cnidaria.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used transcriptome data from 15 newly-sequenced species in combination with 26 publicly available genomes and transcriptomes to assess phylogenetic relationships among major cnidarian lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogenetic insights into the evolution of Octocorallia: a review.
TL;DR: Emerging next-generation genomic-sequencing technologies offer the best hope for a breakthrough in the understanding of phylogenetic relationships and of evolution of morphological traits in Octocorallia.
