INTRODUCTION

The pennatulaceans, commonly known as sea pens and sea pansies, are a highly specialized and distinct group of sessile benthic coelenterates. They are distributed throughout the world's oceans from the polar seas to the tropics, and at all depths from the intertidal to over 6200 meters. Morphologically, sea pens are highly diverse and exhibit morphological changes as evolutionary events within different lineages such as bilateral symmetry, concentration and localization of feeding polyps, the development of lateral processes as polyp leaves or ridges, and the reduction in the number and size of sclerites. As octocorallian coelenterates, pennatulaceans are characterized by having eight pinnate tentacles surrounding the mouth of each polyp, and eight mesenteries. Unlike other octocorals, however, mature colonies develop from a single large polyp (the oozooid) that produces secondary zooids by lateral budding of its body wall. Also unique to the Pennatualacea, is the character of an unbranched muscular peduncle, which anchors the animal by peristaltic contractions into soft substrata such as sand, mud, or abyssal ooze. The secondary polyps (larger autozooids for feeding and reproduction, and smaller siphonozooids for internal water circulation) are restricted to the distal rachis, which is also unbranched but may have laterally-produced polyp leaves.
The ability to inhabit soft substrata has allowed several abyssal-dwelling sea pens to have nearly cosmopolitan distributions. Despite these very widespread geographic ranges, pennatulacean species diversity of the deep-sea is relatively low, and may be attributable to a combination of factors including: relatively low energy input and depauperate productivity in the abyssal environment, coupled with a relative lack of ecological diversity.
Thirty-two genera in fifteen families of living pennatulaceans are currently recognized. Of the 436 nominal species names described in the literature, approximately one half are currently considered valid. Major monographic works on the Pennatulacea include Kükenthal (1915), Hickson (1916), and Williams (1990, 1995a).
The sparsely represented pennatulacean fossil record extends back to the Cretaceous Period and consists primarily of virgulariid fossil taxa in the genera Graphularia and Virgularia. Bayer (1956: 228) observed that fossils of Graphularia closely resemble the axial structure of the genus Stylatula, and the two may be congeneric. Problematic and controversial frond-like taxa that resemble pennatulid sea pens are described from the Vendian Period of the late Precambrian. In fact, the coming of age of Precambrian paleobiology in the 1980's has produced a wealth of publications dealing with the Ediacaran or Vendian biota. Many of the Vendian frond-like taxa have been aligned with the Pennatulacea by various authors, but these interpretations remain highly disputatious. Because of the importance of recent fossil discoveries, which have helped to bridge the gap between fossil biotas of the Precambrian and the Cambrian, many of the references on these Vendian pennatulacean-like organisms are included here, but the coverage should in no way be considered comprehensive.
The idealistic goal of this work is to produce a bibliography of all published works pertaining in part or in full to the pennatulacean octocoral coelenterates. Although no work of this kind can claim to be absolutely comprehensive, this bibliography can at least be considered reasonably complete, certainly more so than any previously published similar work. The fine bibliography of octocorals by Bayer (1996) concentrates on taxonomic works for all of the Octocorallia, but does not claim to be inclusive for Pennatulacea or fields of study outside of taxonomy.
The following annotated and alphabetical bibliography to the Pennatulacea of the world is derived from a variety of sources - primarily the Zoological Record (1864-1998), as well as the author's research library. Other sources include Bayer (1981), Bayer (1996), and Hickson (1916). My annotations are in square brackets

This work is intended for a variety of users including professional biologists, biology students, fisheries biologists and marine resource managers.
The intent of the presentation is to make this work as user friendly as possible. In order to facilitate this goal, full citations are given for the vast majority of the references listed, as abbreviations for periodical publications have proved in the past to be confusing, inconsistent, or often unusable.
The Melvyl System, library data base of the University of California, [http://www.melvyl.ucop.edu] was used extensively to acquire complete citations for periodicals. Other sources used for abbreviations and complete citations of periodicals include the List of Serial Publications in the BM(NH) Library, the World List of Scientific Periodicals 1900-1960, and Biosis Serial Sources.

HISTORICAL ACCOUNT

Pre-Linnean Period (1554 - 1757)
E. Newton Harvey (1952: 170), writing about the history of research regarding pennatulacean bioluminescence, relates the following, "Although the Romans knew of sea pens, referring to them as 'Penna marina', the sea feather, or as 'Mentula alata', the winged penis, the ability to luminesce does not appear to have been recorded. Probably the first mention of luminous sea pens comes to us in the famed 'De lunariis' and the 'Historia Animalium' of Conrad Gesner, published in the middle sixteenth century."
The earliest published accounts describing aspects of the natural history of octocorals including the sea pens are Pliny the Elder (1469), Guillaume Rondelet (1554-1555), Conrad Gesner (1555 and 1558), Ferrante Imperato (1599), and Captain Lancaster (1601). Other noteworthy pre-Linnean works dealing at least in part with the Octocorallia are those of Francisci Erasmi (1668), Paolo Boccone (1674), Hans Sloane (1707), Jacques Barrelier (1714), Herman Boerhaave (1720 and 1727), Christlob Mylius (1753, 1754), and John Ellis (1753, 1755).
Pennatulacean bioluminescence is at least mentioned by François Boussuet (1558), Caspar Bauhin (1620, 1671), Ulisse Aldrovandi (1642, 1648), Johann Bauhin (1650-51), and Thomas Shaw (1738-46).
Louis Agassiz (1860) praised the perspicacity of early workers such as Rondelet and Gesner, who first established the animal nature of the "acalephs" (many of the taxa that we now regard as coelenterates), departing from the earlier views of Aristotle and Pliny, who compared them to plants (the "zoöphytes").
Pertaining to Rondelet, Agassiz (1860: 8) states, "...we are chiefly indebted to Rondelet for contributions to the natural history of the Acalephs. He was, indeed, not only better acquainted with the inhabitants of the Mediterranean than all his predecessors, but he knew them even more accurately than any naturalist that lived before the present century."
In his praise of sixteenth century naturalists, Agassiz (1860: 10) continues, "It has been a source of constant delight for me, while perusing the works of the earlier naturalists, to sympathize with the genial spirit and the ernestness that pervade their writings, so free from egotism, and animosity against their fellow-students. Their devotion to their studies is equal to the spirit of reverence with which they look upon nature; and it is disgraceful to our age, that we must contrast width such dispositions the ill-will, the jealousies, the quarrels for priority, and the profanation, which pervade the discussions of certain modern authors. Moreover, in a systematic point of view, the great naturalists of the sixteenth century deserve to be studied more fully than they have been thus far. It is astonishing, for instance, to see how near Rondelet, in discussing the views of Aristotle upon the affinities of animals, came to perceiving their true affinities, and their natural classification..."
A good example of the evolution of thought in natural history is exemplified by various views regarding the nature of corals in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The concept of the "zoophyte", or transitional nature of corals, was established by the Roman scholars Sextus Empiricus and Pliny the Elder (Caius Plinius Secundus), based on Aristotle's notion of the gradation from plants to higher animals. This undoubtedly served to propagate a state of confusion for nearly two thousand years --- the false view that corals as living beings share the natures of both animals and plants (Agassiz, 1860: 6-7). Paolo Boccone (1670) and John Woodward (1695) emphasized the inanimate aspect of corals and regarded them as stones, while L.F. Marsigli (1725) considered them to be plants, and the coral polyps as "flowers of the coral". It was the perceptive observer, Jean-André Peyssonnel (1753), that first recognized the animal nature of corals and their affinities to other coelenterates, after observing the contraction, expansion and movement of the tentacles of coral polyps (Hyman, 1940: 365).

The Linnean Period (1758 - 1858)
The publication of Systema Naturae by Linnaeus (Carl von Linné, 1758) is accepted as the starting point for our contempory system of binominal nomenclature. Linnaeus named the genus Pennatula, from which the ordinal name Pennatulacea is derived. Other contributors during the Linnean Period include William Borlase (1758), Job Baster (1759-65), Joannes Baptist Bohadsch (1761), John Ellis (1764), Peter Simon Pallas (1766 --- first monographer of the "zoophytes"), Pieter Boddaert (1771), I. Lepechin (1781), John Ellis and Daniel Solander (1786), Lazzaro Spallanzani (1796), Georges Cuvier --- originally Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric Cuvier (1797 --- who named the genera Umbellula and Veretillum), Jean Baptiste Pierre Antoine de Monet de Lamarck (1816 --- who named the genera Funiculina, Renilla, and Virgularia), Tilesius von Tilenau (1819), S. della Chiaje (1827, 1841-44), M.W. Rapp (1827), H.-M. Ducrotay de Blainville (1834), Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (1834a --- who introduced the family name Pennatulina, later corrected by Dana, 1846 to Pennatulidae), Fredrich Sigismund Leuckart (1841), James Dwight Dana (1846 --- who corrected the familial name of Ehrenberg to Pennatulidae), George Johnston (1847), John Edward Gray (1840-1873 --- who named the genus Sarcoptilus), Henri Milne Edwards and Jules Haime (1850 ---who named the fossil genus Graphularia), Achille Valenciennes (1850 --- who named the veretillid genus Lituaria), P. Chr. Asbjørnsen (1856--- who named the genus Kophobelemnon), and Jan Adrianus Herklots (1858 --- who named the genera Scytalium and Pteroeides).

The Darwinian Period (1859 - 1899)
The publication of the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin initiated what is here referred to as the Darwinian Period.
The pre-eminent author of the Pennatulacea during this period was Rudolf Albert von Kölliker, who produced major descriptive taxonomic works between 1865 and 1880. Kölliker described the sea pens of the H.M.S. Challenger Expedition, in which thirty species were described. Kölliker also named the genera Acanthoptilum, Anthoptilum, Halipteris, Protoptilum, Sclerobelemnon, Scleroptilum, and Stachyptilum. Other noteworthy contributions during this period include Pieter Bleeker (1859 --- who described several species of Pteroeides), Jan Adrianus Herklots (1863), Josua Lindahl (1874), Johan Koren & Daniel C. Danielssen (1847-1884), Addison Emery Verrill (1865-1882 --- who named the genera Distichoptilum, Ptilosarcus, and Stylatula), Sir Charles Wyville Thomson (1874 --- chief scientist of the H.M.S. Challenger Expedition), Ambrosius Arnold Willem Hubrecht (1885 --- who named the genus Echinoptilum), G. Herbert Fowler (1888 and 1894), A. Milnes Marshall (1883a and 1883b), A. Milnes Marshall & G. Herbert Fowler (1887 and 1889), and A. Milnes Marshall & William P. Marshall (1882), T.H. Tizard, et al (1885), Théophile Studer (1891 --- who named the genus Gyrophyllum), and Addison Emery Verrill (1864-1922 --- who introduced the name Pennatulacea in 1865 as a subordinal name, later elevated to ordinal status by Studer, 1887a) .
The Darwinian Period produced numerous studies of evolutionary relationships for many groups of organisms. Important works pertaining to pennatulacean phylogeny during this time include R.A. von Kölliker (1870 and 1880), Gottlieb von Koch (1878), and A. Milnes Marshall (1887).

The Early Twentieth Century (1900 - 1949)
Significant contributions in octocorallian systematics (including pennatulaceans) during the early part of the Twentieth Century include Hector F.E. Jungersen (1904, 1907, and 1917), Monsieur Ch. Gravier (1906 --- who named the genus Scytaliopsis), Charles Cleveland Nutting (1908 --- who named the genus Calibelemnon), Heinrich Balss (1909 and 1910), Hjalmar Broch (1910-1961), Willy Kükenthal (1902-1925 --- who named the genera Actinoptilum, Amphiacme, and Chunella), W. Kükenthal & H. Broch (1911 --- who named the genus Cavernulina), Sydney John Hickson (1883-1940), Elisabeth Deichmann (1936 and 1941), and J. Arthur Thomson (1905-1931). The latter published in collaboration with several co-authors including George Crane, Doris L. Mackinnon, Nita I. Rennet, W. D. Henderson, James Ritchie, and James J. Simpson. F.M. Bayer (pers. comm.) states, "Deichmann...is the 20th Century link with the 19th Century in octocoral systematics. Her Blake report (1936) is pivotal for the western Atlantic."
It was during this period that the argument was introduced by Libbie Henrietta Hyman (1940: 365) to abandon the name "Coelenterata"of Rudolph Leuckart in favor of "Cnidaria" introduced by Berthold Hatschek. This argument has apparently convinced many zoologists to substitute a name long in use with a more recently created one. Hyman states, "Leuckart (1847) clearly grasped the fundamental differences between the two great radiate groups, the coelenterates and the echinoderms, and separated them, creating the name Coelenterata. Leuckart's Coelenterata, however, included the sponges and the ctenophores...The proper splitting of Leuckart's Coelenterata was achieved by Hatscheck (1888), who recognized three phyla: Spongiaria, Cnidaria, and Ctenophora. We therefore consider Cnidaria to be the most suitable name for the phylum..."
The acceptance of this line of reasoning is both unnecessary and inconsistent, however. As an example, Ernst Haeckel's "Scyphozoa" originally included both the Scyphozoa and the Anthozoa, yet the name Scyphozoa is still retained by most zoologists. This is just one example of a major animal group in which the name has long usage and is still recognized today, even though it orginally encompassed more taxa than are now accepted. On the other hand, Land (2003) [Zoologische Verhandelingen 345: 209-213] argues that because of modern common usage, the name Coelenterata should no longer be used.

The Late Twentieth Century (1950 - present)
Previous to this period, publications on the Pennatulacea dealt predominantly with descriptive taxonomy or general natural history (particularly bioluminescence). This most recent period has produced a flourishing of works in fields of study other than taxonomy - including behaviour, ecology, morphology, physiology, cell biology, natural products biochemistry, and evolutionary biology. Important contributions in systematics during this period include Frederick M. Bayer (1955-1996), Huzio Utinomi (1956-1982); Manfred Grasshoff (1972-1991), F.M. Bayer, M. Grasshoff, & Jakob Verseveldt (1983), F.M. Bayer & M. Grasshoff (1997), Marie-José d'Hondt (1984), Andrée Tixier-Durivault (1954-1987 --- who named the genera Crassophyllum and Malacobelemnon), and Gary C. Williams (1986-1997). The latter author introduced cladistic methodology to the study of evolutionary relationships in the Pennatulacea.
