Molecular evidence for the hybrid origin of species in the soft coral genus Alcyonium (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Octocorallia)Catherine S McFadden
Department of Biology, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA 91711, USA
Mol Ecol 13:1495-505. 2004..bocagei genome suggests that this species may also be the product of past hybridization events within the clade. Reticulate evolution may explain the failure of several previous studies to resolve the phylogeny of these four species...
A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) based on mitochondrial protein-coding sequencesCatherine S McFadden
Department of Biology, Harvey Mudd College, 1250 N Dartmouth Avenue, Claremont, CA 91711, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 41:513-27. 2006....
Limitations of mitochondrial gene barcoding in OctocoralliaCatherine S McFadden
Department of Biology, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA 91711, USA
Mol Ecol Resour 11:19-31. 2011..Although far from perfect for species identification, a COI + igr1 + msh1 barcode nonetheless represents a valuable addition to the depauperate set of characters available for octocoral taxonomy...
Molecular phylogenetic insights into the evolution of Octocorallia: a reviewCatherine S McFadden
Department of Biology, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA 91711, USA
Integr Comp Biol 50:389-410. 2010....
Variation in coding (NADH dehydrogenase subunits 2, 3, and 6) and noncoding intergenic spacer regions of the mitochondrial genome in Octocorallia (Cnidaria: Anthozoa)Catherine S McFadden
Department of Biology, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA 91711, USA
Mar Biotechnol (NY) 6:516-26. 2004..Although the COI-COII intergenic spacer exhibits greater variability than the protein-coding regions and may contain useful species-specific markers, its short length limits its phylogenetic utility...
The mitochondrial genome of Paraminabea aldersladei (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Octocorallia) supports intramolecular recombination as the primary mechanism of gene rearrangement in octocoral mitochondrial genomesStephanie A Brockman
Department of Biology, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, California, USA

Deep-sea origin and in-situ diversification of chrysogorgiid octocoralsEric Pante
Department of Biology, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Lafayette, Louisiana, USA
PLoS ONE 7:e38357. 2012..Nine species of Chrysogorgia that were described from depths shallower than 200 m, and mtMutS haplotypes sequenced from specimens sampled as shallow as 101 m, suggest a shallow-water emergence of some Chrysogorgia species...
Complete DNA sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the sea-slug, Aplysia californica: conservation of the gene order in EuthyneuraBjarne Knudsen
Department of Zoology, University of Florida, 223 Bartram Hall, Gainesville, 32611, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 38:459-69. 2006..The Aplysia mitochondrial genome sequenced here will serve as an important platform in both comparative and neurobiological studies using this model organism...
