“…As has been typical for all octocorals analyzed to date, mtDNA sequence variation among keratoisidin species is remarkably low compared to other invertebrates (France and Hoover, 2002;Shearer et al, 2002;Smith et al, 2004;Hellberg, 2006). France (2007) analyzed the mismatch repair gene homologue (msh1), unique among metazoans to the mtDNA of Octocorallia, and the gene of choice for octocoral molecular phylogenetics because it has shown the greatest degree of sequence variation as compared to other mt genes examined to date (e.g., France and Hoover, 2001;Wirshing et al, 2005;McFadden et al, 2006). Despite this variation, some nominal octocoral species are indistinguishable by their msh1 sequence alone (e.g., Lepard, 2003;Cairns and Bayer, 2005).…”

“…msh1 has been shown to be more variable in octocorals than are COI and 16S (France & Hoover, 2002) and both msh1 and NADH subunits are currently used in octocoral phylogenetics (e.g. France & Hoover 2001;Sanchez et al, 2003;McFadden et al, 2006, Wirshing et al, 2005.…”

Five new species of the octocorallian primnoid genus Narella are described from seven seamounts in the Gulf of Alaska, the first records of this genus from the region between Japan and the Galápagos, and including the deepest record of the genus at 4594 m. All species are illustrated with SEM of their sclerites, often with stereo pairs of the polyps. A list of the 32 valid species of Narella is given. DNA sequence analysis using the mitochondrial genes ND6 and msh1 was determined for all five species and outgroups, but little to no variation was found among the five morphospecies, consistent with the known slow rate of evolution of the mitochondrial genes in Octocorallia.

“…Molecular studies have addressed the phylogenetic relationships of the cold water ahermatypic corals using 18S rDNA (Berntson et al,1999(Berntson et al, , 2001, 16S rRNA and large subunit rRNA (Sanchez et al, 2003), mitochondrial loci (Wirshing et al, 2005), rDNA (Waller et al, 2007), and inter-transcribed spacer region (ITS), 28S rDNA, and COI (Herrera et al, 2010). Using nuclear markers, Berntson et al (1999Berntson et al ( , 2001 suggest that there are three major subclasses: (1) Octocorallia, (2) Hexacorallia, and (3) Ceriantipatharia.…”

Commonly called "bubblegum coral', Paragorgia is a genus of cold-water gorgonian coral that has a broad global distribution and is eurybathic from depths of meters to kilometers. Such ecological breadth, however, may be confounded by the presence of cryptic species. In this study the genetic distances of various Paragorgia spp. across their distribution and depth range along the Canadian mid-Atlantic margin using 18S ribosomal DNA sequences were compared. Morphometric and 18S evidence show that although appearing closely related, only one species of cold-water Paragorgia, called P. arborea, predominates in this region. However, 18S evidence from corals collected at deep depths located at one site, called the Stone Fence, indicate that a significant amount of divergence exists and other species may also be present. Such new light provides a need for further genetic testing using alternative methods (e.g. microsatellites), which could reveal new lineages that may have considerable ecological and/or taxonomic importance.
