• Mingulay reef complex: an interdisciplinary study of cold-water coral habitat, hydrography and biodiversity (2009, background): “Within the coral habitat itself, both α and β diversity vary across gradients of depth and the amount of live coral (Jonsson et al. 2004, Mortensen & Fosså 2006, van Soest et al. 2007, Cordes et al. 2008).”
• Global biodiversity in cold-water coral reef ecosystems (2017, background): “in the case of Lophelia reefs in the Gulf of Mexico (Cordes et al. 2008).”
• Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem (2010, background): “In the sandy sediments of a seamount bathed in the OMZ off Mexico an aplacophoran mollusc is the dominant taxon (47% of the total).”
• Acute survivorship of the deep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa from the Gulf of Mexico under acidification, warming, and deoxygenation (2014, background): “While deep-sea corals are widely distributed throughout the deep Gulf of Mexico (e.g., Cordes et al., 2008; Quattrini et al., 2014), little is known about their responses to projected future ocean changes.”
• In situ measurement of survival and growth of Lophelia pertusa in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2009, background): “More recent studies have characterized the coral and chemosynthetic communities in this area (Sulak et al. 2007, Cordes et al. 2008).”
• Using 3D photogrammetry from ROV video to quantify cold-water coral reef structural complexity and investigate its influence on biodiversity and community assemblage (2019, background): “Living portions of the reef harbour fewer, more specialised species (Mortensen and Fosså 2006; Cordes et al. 2008), whilst the bare hard substrate of dead coral skeleton is often cited as a primary driver of reef biodiversity (Henry and Roberts 2015).”
