TL;DR: The first register of the marine species of the world is compiled and it is estimated that between one-third and two-thirds of marine species may be undescribed, and previous estimates of there being well over one million marine species appear highly unlikely.

TL;DR: Collecting biological specimens for scientific studies came under scrutiny when B. A. Minteer and colleagues suggested that this practice plays a significant role in species extinctions.
The Global Diversity of Sea Pens (Cnidaria: Octocorallia: Pennatulacea)
TL;DR: The pennatulacean octocorals, a group of cnidarians commonly referred to as sea pens or sea feathers, is treats new discoveries and taxa new to science, and provides greater resolution in geographic and bathymetric distributions data than was previously known.
Living genera of sea pens (Coelenterata: Octocorallia: Pennatulacea): illustrated key and synopses
TL;DR: An illustrated dichotomous key and synopses of the 32 genera of living pennatulacean octocorals are presented, which incorporate new morphological and distributional data from the examination of recently collected material and a revised classification and phylogenetic considerations are presented.
