Little Evidence of Benthic Community Resilience to Bottom Trawling on Seamounts After 15 Years (2019, background): “As in many of the world’s oceans, such corals can produce extensive reef-like structures that provide habitat for many other benthic invertebrate and fish species (D’Onghia et al., 2010; Rowden et al., 2010; Baillon et al., 2012).”
An Overview of the Animal Forests of the World (2017, background): “Indeed, the presence of vagile fauna, like fishes or crabs, has been directly related to the presence of these complex three-dimensional structures (Baillon et al. 2012; Miller et al. 2012).”
Diversity, distribution and spatial structure of the cold-water coral fauna of the Azores (NE Atlantic) (2013, result): “in agreement with previous studies suggesting an important role of cold-water coral communities as habitat providers for numerous fish and invertebrates (Husebø et al., 2002; BuhlMortensen et al., 2010; S öffker et al., 2011; Baillon et al., 2012; Braga-Henriques et al., 2012), favouring the aggrega”
The destruction of the 'animal forests' in the oceans: Towards an over- simplification of the benthic ecosystems (2013, background): “, structures that can alter major current flows and particle retention, thus concentrating more zooplankton, eggs, larvae, juveniles and adults in their surroundings (Baillon et al., 2012).”
