TL;DR: The first register of the marine species of the world is compiled and it is estimated that between one-third and two-thirds of marine species may be undescribed, and previous estimates of there being well over one million marine species appear highly unlikely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytotoxic cembranoid diterpenes from a soft coral Sinularia gibberosa.
TL;DR: Five new alpha-methylene-gamma-lactone-bearing cembranoid diterpenes, sinularolides A-E (1-5) were isolated from the soft coral Sinularia gibberosa and showed moderate activity against selected tumor cell lines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Tropical Soft Coral Genera Sarcophyton and Lobophytum (Anthozoa, Octocorallia)
Catherine S. McFadden,Philip Alderslade,Leen van Ofwegen,Holly Johnsen,Alice Rusmevichientong +4 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the need for a complete taxonomic revision of these genera, using molecular data to help confirm species boundaries as well as to guide higher taxonomic decisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Systematics of the Speciose Indo-Pacific Soft Coral Genus, Sinularia (Anthozoa: Octocorallia).
TL;DR: Mapping of characters onto the tree suggested that the five major clades plus several additional sub-clades of Sinularia can be distinguished based on a suite of four morphological characters; these include the presence of sclerites in the tentacle, collaret, and point regions of the polyps, in addition to the shape of the club sclerite in the surface tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sinularones A–I, New Cyclopentenone and Butenolide Derivatives from a Marine Soft Coral Sinularia sp. and Their Antifouling Activity
TL;DR: Nine new compounds, namely sinularones A–I (1–9), characterized as cyclopentenone and butenolide-type analogues, were isolated from a soft coral Sinularia sp.
