This study uses whole genome re-sequencing to reveal deep divergence within the Amphiprion clarkii species complex, identifying five lineages and challenging the taxonomic status of A. tricinctus.

This study uses ultraconserved elements to analyze the phylogenetic relationships between Palythoa sibling species, finding intermixed lineages and gene tree discordance, suggesting a species complex rather than distinct species.

This study compares genomes of symbiotic and non-symbiotic Palythoa species to investigate symbiosis evolution and palytoxin origin, finding that palytoxin likely originates from associated bacteria.

The paper identifies cryptic species in the sea anemone Entacmaea quadricolor and suggests it may be undergoing adaptive radiation in response to clownfish symbiosis.

This study examines shifts in holobiont communities of Palythoa tuberculosa under high-pCO2 conditions at Iotorishima Island, finding reduced Symbiodiniaceae diversity and altered bacterial profiles.

The paper compares coral microbiomes from the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans, finding similar alpha diversity but distinct composition, with implications for symbiont phylogeny and environmental change.

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

The paper assesses genetic diversity and connectivity of three goatfish species in the Mediterranean Sea using mitochondrial DNA markers.

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