• The effect of flow speed and food size on the capture efficiency and feeding behaviour of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (2016, methodology): “These small preys, consumed in large amounts, where found supply around 50% of the daily energetic demand of these Antarctic organisms (Orejas et al., 2003), as such the importance of a varied diet cannot be overlooked in CWC.”

• The Antarctic-Magellan connection: Macrobenthos ecology on the shelf and upper slope, a progress report (2005, background): “In the two Antarctic octocorals Primnoisis antarctica and Primnoella sp., feeding experiments showed that components of seston, including the fine fraction of suspended organic matter, are an important part of the diet (Orejas et al., 2003).”
• Stable C and N isotopic composition of cold-water corals from the Newfoundland and Labrador continental slope: Examination of trophic, depth and spatial effects (2008, background): “The ability of some octocorals (Lewis, 1982; Coma et al., 1994; Orejas et al., 2003) and Flabellum (Buhl-Mortensen et al., 2007) to consume zooplankton may partly explain the absence of depth-related trends in our study.”
