Multi‐level convergence of complex traits and the evolution of bioluminescence
Evolutionary convergence provides natural opportunities to investigate how, when, and why
novel traits evolve. Many convergent traits are complex, highlighting the importance of …

Description of the fifth sea pen species that attaches to hard substrates by modifying its peduncle
Almost all sea pens inhabit soft bottoms, but only four species are known to live on rocky
substrates. These are all deep-sea species with specialized sucker-like peduncles …

When distant relatives look too alike: a new family, two new genera and a new species of deep-sea Umbellula-like sea pens (Anthozoa, Octocorallia, Pennatulacea)
PJ López-González, J Drewery - Invertebrate Systematics, 2022 - CSIRO Publishing
Among octocorals, colonies of the deep-sea pennatulacean genus Umbellula Gray, 1870
are some of the most instantly recognisable forms. Historically however, species …
