• The destruction of the 'animal forests' in the oceans: Towards an over- simplification of the benthic ecosystems (2013, background): “reach, and in some places may be safe from harvesting (Rossi et al., 2008).”
• Spatial distribution patterns of the gorgonians Eunicella singularis, Paramuricea clavata, and Leptogorgia sarmentosa (Cape of Creus, Northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “Thus far, the majority of studies have been conducted on shallow water populations of gorgonians (depths of less than 40 m), whereas limited information is available for rocky coast assemblages that are present in deeper waters (Virgilio et al. 2006; Rossi et al. 2008).”
• Size and spatial structure in deep versus shallow populations of the Mediterranean gorgonian Eunicella singularis (Cap de Creus, northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “2002) because temperature, currents, and other water column features are more constant below the summer thermocline (Cebrián et al. 1996; Ballesteros 2006; Rossi et al. 2008).”
• Deep-water Corallium rubrum (L., 1758) from the Mediterranean Sea: preliminary genetic characterisation (2010, background): “The precious red coral Corallium rubrum (Linnaeus, 1758) inhabits subtidal rocky habitats in the Mediterranean Sea and Eastern Atlantic Ocean (Zibrowius et al. 1984; Chintiroglou et al. 1989; Cattaneo-Vietti & Cicogna 1993; Rossi et al. 2008) and it has been commercially harvested since ancient time”
• An Overview of the Animal Forests of the World (2017, background): “…red coral (Corallium rubrum), target of the most ancient coral harvesting practice (see Jiménez and Orejas this volume), and which populations have been depleted to the point that they look more like grasslands than like forests (Bramanti et al. 2009; Cau et al. 2016; Rossi et al. 2008).”
• Low connectivity and declining genetic variability along a depth gradient in Corallium rubrum populations (2011, background): “In deeper water ([25 m depth), colonies were larger in size and grew also on open rocky surfaces, originating less dense populations (50–100 colonies m) compared to shallow water (Tsounis et al. 2006a; Rossi et al. 2008).”
