• Species-specific physiological response by the cold-water corals Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata to variations within their natural temperature range (2014, background): “Occurrence and local abundance of CWC appear dependent on principal environmental factors, such as availability of settling substrate, current velocity, food supply, aragonite saturation state, but also gradients of seawater density, as a function of seawater temperature and salinity (Guinotte et al”
• Predicting global habitat suitability for stony corals on seamounts (2009, methodology): “The maximum depth of the analysis was 2500 m, as there were too few records (< 10) at greater depth to parameterize the model beyond this point effectively; similarly, we used 50 m as a cut-off for the boundary between warm-water and cold-water corals (Cairns, 2007).”
• Diversity, distribution and spatial structure of the cold-water coral fauna of the Azores (NE Atlantic) (2013, background): “…the world's oceans, they can be found on continental shelves and margins, edges and slopes of oceanic islands, seamounts, canyons and ridges (e.g. Cairns, 2007; Wareham and Edinger, 2007; Molodtsova et al., 10 2008; Mortensen et al., 2008; Reveillaud et al., 2008; Baker et al., 2012), especially…”
• Habitat-forming cold-water corals show affinity for seamounts in the New Zealand region (2011, background): “The branching framework-building species make up 26% of the scleractinian corals, with the remaining 74% representing solitary species known as cup corals (Cairns 2007).”
• Cold-water corals in a changing ocean (2014, background): “ommon names, the total number of species (as of March 2007) and [1]”
• Mingulay reef complex: an interdisciplinary study of cold-water coral habitat, hydrography and biodiversity (2009, background): “Corals are not restricted to tropical latitudes and shallow water depths; indeed, 66% of coral species are found at depths more than 50 m (Cairns 2007).”
• A phylogeny reconstruction of the Dendrophylliidae (Cnidaria, Scleractinia) based on molecular and micromorphological criteria, and its ecological implications (2014, background): “…results of our multidisciplinary study support previous results obtained by macromorphological approaches (Vaughan & Wells 1943; Kuzmicheva 1986; Cairns 2001, 2007; Cairns & Kitahara 2012) and confirm the monophyly of the family, which includes corals characterized by a synapticulotheca in…”
