In situ measurement of survival and growth of Lophelia pertusa in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2009, background): “Aquarium studies of L. pertusa in Norway and Scotland (Mortensen 2001, Roberts & Anderson 2002) indicated that increased food supply was followed by high extension rates; therefore, seasonal changes in food supply, rather than temperature directly, may control growth rates of L. pertusa in the…”
Acclimation to ocean acidification during long‐term CO2 exposure in the cold‐water coral Lophelia pertusa (2012, background): “Although L. pertusa is capable to withstand several months without food supply (Mortensen, 2001), specimens in the LTE were regularly fed and thus thought to be in good physiological condition, which probably enforces their capacity to cope with acidified conditions.”
Biodiversity of the white coral bank off Cape Santa Maria di Leuca (Mediterranean Sea): An update (2010, background): “Therefore, the white coral ecosystem represents a biodiversity ‘‘hot-spot’’ at the edge of the continental shelf and upper slope (McCloskey, 1970; Connell, 1978; Jensen and Frederiksen, 1992; Mortensen, 2001; Mortensen and Fosså, 2006).”
Crustaceans associated with the deep-water gorgonian corals Paragorgia arborea (L., 1758) and Primnoa resedaeformis (Gunn., 1763) (2004, unknown): “They may occur in dense populations locally as reefs or ‘forests’ constituting high biodiversity habitats (Storm, 1901; Dons, 1944; Jensen and Frederiksen, 1992; Mortensen, 2001; Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen, 2003).”
Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins (2010, background): “After years of skeletal growth, E. norvegica has a tube with several openings, each close to a polyp, where it can look for food spills (Mortensen 2001).”
Mingulay reef complex: an interdisciplinary study of cold-water coral habitat, hydrography and biodiversity (2009, background): “…any deep-water species, direct feeding observations are rare and limited to occasional submersible observations of corals taking live calanoid copepods in the field (Freiwald 2002) and notes that corals in aquaria can take both live and dead food materials (Mortensen 2001, Roberts & Anderson 2002).”
Acute survivorship of the deep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa from the Gulf of Mexico under acidification, warming, and deoxygenation (2014, background): “Several studies of L. pertusa growth rate show allometric patterns, the differential growth of select parts of a colony relative to the whole (e.g., Mortensen, 2001; Gass and Roberts, 2006; Brooke and Young, 2009), with younger polyps growing significantly faster than older polyps (Maier et al.,…”
Calcification of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa, under ambient and reduced pH (2009, background): “A coral branch can produce several new corallites per year (Mortensen, 2001; Orejas et al., 2008), but it is not known which factors trigger budding in L. pertusa.”
Trophic relationships in a deep Mediterranean cold-water coral bank (Santa Maria di Leuca, Ionian Sea) (2009, background): “However, direct observations have shown that CWC are also able to catch and ingest prey, such as zooplankton, up to 2 cm in length (Mortensen 2001, Freiwald 2002).”
