• Consequences of a mass mortality in populations of Eunicella singularis (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) in Menorca (NW Mediterranean) (2006, background): “Although gorgonians are host for numerous commensals, symbionts and parasites (e.g. Conradi et al. 2004), studies of population dynamics indicate that adult mortality is low and mainly due to detachment and overgrowth (Yoshioka & Yoshioka 1991, Coma et al. 2004).”
• Lessons in modularity: the evolutionary ecology of colonial invertebrates (2005, background): “Of course, any intrinsic process of growth limitation, such as discussed above, may be forestalled by external forces such as storms and tidal currents that cause mechanical failure of colonies at sizes below their potential maxima, indeed this may be the norm for certain species (Coma et al., 2004)”
• Immediate and delayed effects of a mass mortality event on gorgonian population dynamics and benthic community structure in the NW Mediterranean Sea (2005, background): “Among the most common of these traits are poor dispersive capacity by sexual reproduction, delayed maturity, low and infrequent settlement, and high post-settlement mortality (Hughes & Cancino 1985, Jackson 1985, Garrabou & Harmelin 2002, Coma et al. 2004).”
• The destruction of the 'animal forests' in the oceans: Towards an over- simplification of the benthic ecosystems (2013, background): “, 1993; Maynard 2008; Dinsdale and Harriot, 2004) or diving (Sala et al., 1996; Coma et al., 2004) are among themore direct impacts on the animal forests in those places where tourism concentrates to enjoy nature.”
• Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages: A synthesis of present knowledge (2006, background): “clavata in the Medes Islands marine reserve and adjacent sites by means of a three-fold increase in adult mortality (Coma et al. 2004).”
