After continents divide: comparative phylogeography of reef fishes from the Red Sea and Indian Ocean (2013, background): “…the Red Sea is characterized by high biodiversity, including c. 300 reef-building corals (mostly species of Acropora and Porites; Sheppard & Sheppard, 1991; Riegl & Velimirov, 1994) and 1078 fish species (Golani & Bogorodsky, 2010), which represent key resources for coastal communities.”
On the origin of endemic species in the Red Sea (2016, background): “The Red Sea reef fish fauna are relatively well-characterised (Golani & Bogorodsky, 2010), and consist primarily of species of Indo-West Pacific origin in addition to a small number of species (along with some Arabian Peninsula endemics) that lack clearly identifiable close relatives.”
A review of contemporary patterns of endemism for shallow water reef fauna in the Red Sea (2016, unknown): “Based on existing checklists, 320 zooxanthellate scleractinian corals (Veron et al., 2009) and 1078 fish species (Golani & Bogorodsky, 2010) have been identified in this region, although these values are constantly being redefined.”
