Part 1 Genesis,
Evolution, and Systematics.-1. Emergence and evolution of early life in the
geological environment- 2. Integrated evolution of cnidarians and oceanic
geochemistry before and during the Cambrian explosion- 3. Origin and early
diversification of phylum Cnidaria: key macrofossils from the Ediacaran system
of North and South America.- 4 The new systematics of Scleractinia: integrating
molecular and morphological evidence- 5 Ceriantharia in current systematics:
life cycles, morphology and genetics- 6 Origin and evolution of the nervous
system considered from the diffuse nervous system of cnidarians. -Part 2 Zoogeography.- 7 Zoogeography of
Hydrozoa: past, present and a look to the future. -8 Diversity and distribution
of Octocorallia.-9 Diversity and distribution of Actiniaria. -10 Cnidarian
alien species in expansion. -Part 3

stony corals and insight into the evolution of oogenesis in Cnidaria. -17
Sexual reproduction of Mediterranean scleractinian corals. -18 Brooding corals:
planulation patterns, larval behavior, and recruitment dynamics in the face of
environmental change. -19 Larval dispersal and population connectivity in
anthozoans. -20 Population dynamics of temperate corals in a changing climate. -Part 5 Symbiosis. -21 Microbial
interactions on coral surfaces and within the coral holobiont. -22 Association

changing environment. -35 The impact of climate change and the environment on
coral growth. -36 Cold-water corals in an era of rapid global change: are these
the deep ocean's most vulnerable ecosystems?.-Part 9 Medical Aspects and Applications.- 37 Unusual cnidarian
envenomations. -38 Envenomation by cnidarians and renal injuries. -39 Cubozoan

nematocysts toward human care. -43 Coral scaffolds in bone tissue engineering
and bone regeneration. -Part 10
Management and Conservation.- 44 Population genetic structure of Corallium
rubrum in the Mediterranean Sea: diversity, phylogeography, and bathymetric
patterns. -45 Molecular forensics into the sea: how molecular markers can help
to struggle against poaching and illegal trade in precious corals? .- 6
Advances in management of precious corals to address unsustainable and
destructive harvest techniques. -47 Conservation and restoration of coral reefs
under climate change: strategies and practice. -Part 11 In Myth and Art.- 48 The myth of the Lernaean Hydra.-49 The
myth of Medusa: Benvenuto Cellini and the Loggia de Lanzi in Florence.-50
