“…Previous studies have considered Symbiodinium sub-clade G2 as sponge-specific (Schoenberg and Loh 2005;Schoenberg et al 2008;Hill et al 2011). However, this sub-clade has also been found in an array of hosts and environments, including gorgonians (van Oppen et al 2005), black corals (Bo et al 2011), scleractinians (Stat et al 2013;Edmunds et al 2014), fish faeces (Castro-Sanguino and Sánchez 2012), and free living in seawater and benthic sediments (Takabayashi et al 2012). While there is evidence that subclade G2 Symbiodinium is specific to excavating clionid sponges (Schoenberg and Loh 2005;Granados et al 2008;Hill et al 2011), the presence of this sub-clade in a variety of settings suggests this lineage occupies a broad range of habitats, both symbiotic and free-living.…”

“…In some species, a single colony can reach several metres in height (Opresko and Sanchez, 2005), with longevity estimates in different species ranging from 12 to approximately 4250 years (Wagner, 2011 and references therein;Brugler, Opresko, & France, 2013). Most Antipatharia species are considered to lack symbiotic algae (Grigg, 1993), although evidence suggesting symbiosis was found in some species (Wagner et al, 2010;Bo et al, 2011).…”

Interpretation and implementation of the ConventionCompliance and enforcement Review of Significant Trade in specimens of Appendix-II species [Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13)] SPECIES SELECTED FOLLOWING COP151. This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 3. At its 26th meeting (AC26, Geneva, 2012), the Committee reviewed the available information on these taxa in accordance with paragraph f) of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13). In instances where the Committee was satisfied that Article IV, paragraph 2 (a), 3 or 6 (a), was correctly implemented, it eliminated the species from the review with respect to the range State concerned, and these range States were notified accordingly by the Secretariat (see document AC26 Doc.12.3 and the summary record of AC26). At its 25th meeting (AC25,Geneva4. At AC26, the Committee also agreed that prior to the compilation of information called for in paragraph g), range States that had been kept in the process due to a lack of response but where no commercial trade had been recorded over the most recent 10 years, would be removed from the process in consultation with the Animals Committee. The taxa and range States that were thus retained in the review are shown in the table below. Taxa selected following CoP15 and retained in the review after AC26 Taxon selected Range StateMacaca fascicularis Cambodia; India, Indonesia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Mauritius, Palau, Philippines, Viet Nam Psittacus erithacusBenin, Central African Republic, Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Uganda Chamaeleo gracilisBenin, Cameroon, Ghana, Guinea, Togo, Uganda Chamaeleo senegalensisBenin, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Sierra Leone Trioceros melleri Mozambique Trioceros quadricornisCameroon, Nigeria Trachyphyllia geoffroyi Singapore, Solomon Islands 5. In accordance with paragraph g) of the Resolution, the Secretariat proceeded with the compilation of information regarding the species mentioned in the table above. The UNEP World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC) was engaged to compile information about the biology and management of and trade in these species, and to provide a preliminary categorization of the species in compliance with paragraphs h) and i). The Secretariat transmitted the resulting reports from UNEP-WCMC to relevant range States on 13 and 19 December 2013, which had 60 days to submit comments in accordance with paragraph j). Kinyongia fischeri United Republic of Tanzania Kinyongia tavetana United Republic of Tanzania Ptyas mucosus6. The species reports of UNEP-WCMC present conclusions about the effects of international trade on the selected species, the basis on which such conclusions are made, and problems with the implementation of Article IV of the Convention. They provide preliminary categorizations of each species into one of the three categories outlined in paragraph i) of Resolution Conf. 12.8 (Rev. CoP13), namely: i) 'species of urgent concern' shall include species for which the available information indicates that the provisions of Article IV, paragraph 2 ...

“…This taxon was generally assumed to be azooxanthellate, due to a preference for low-light environments that do not allow photosynthesis, but recently, several species occurring at up to 396 m of depth were shown to associate with Symbiodinium (Bo et al 2011;Wagner et al 2011).…”

Heteropathes opreski, a new antipatharian species from the northern border of the Oceanographer Fracture Zone is here described and illustrated. An emended diagnosis of the genus and a dichotomous key containing the four Heteropathes species are presented. This species is unique in that it forms smaller colonies compared to the other species in the genus, with some of the lateral pinnules presenting a small ramified subpinnule. Additionally, the polypar spines found on the lateral pinnules are the highest so far recorded in the genus. This record greatly expands the known distribution of this genus, as it was not previously reported to occur in the Northeastern Atlantic.
