Lipid biomarkers reveal geographical differences in food supply to the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (Scleractinia) (2009, background): “In addition, L. pertusa from the Porcupine Seabight shows seasonality in reproduction, with the onset of gametogenesis in July and predicted release of gametes in January or February (Waller & Tyler 2005).”
Genetic discontinuity among regional populations of Lophelia pertusa in the North Atlantic Ocean (2011, background): “data). Although spawning cues are unknown, early spring seasonal blooms of surface primary production were suggested as a potential cue for initiation of gametogenesis in ENAO L. pertusa populations ( Waller and Tyler 2005 ).”
Cold-water coral growth in relation to the hydrography of the Celtic and Nordic European continental margin (2008, background): “The surface primary production sinks rapidly to the seafloor (Billett et al. 1983, Lampitt 1985, Thiel et al. 1989) where it initiates gametogenesis in corals (e.g. Waller & Tyler 2005) due to a substantial increase in the availability of POM.”
