• Deep-sea octocorals and antipatharians show no evidence of seamount-scale endemism in the NW Atlantic (2009, background): “Deep-sea corals are long-lived (e.g. Roark et al. 2006, 2009) and slow-growing (Grigg 1993), and the time needed to diversify may therefore be relatively long (e.g. diversification and longevity are negatively correlated in the rockfish Sebastes; Bonsall 2006).”
• Impacts of bottom trawling on deep-coral ecosystems of seamounts are long-lasting (2009, background): “Deep-sea invertebrates, corals in particular, are long-lived and slow growing (e.g. Samadi et al. 2007, Tracey et al. 2007); for example, Corallium secundum colonies of 28 cm in height were estimated to be ~67 to 71 yr old (Roark et al. 2006).”
• An Overview of the Animal Forests of the World (2017, background): “Most scleractinians, gorgonians, and antipatharians are fairly long-lived organisms that in some cases can exceed the age of 4000 years (e.g., black corals, Roark et al. 2006).”
• Predicting global habitat suitability for stony corals on seamounts (2009, background): “Cold-water corals are slow-growing (e.g. Andrews et al. , 2005; Schro¨der-Ritzau et al. , 2005; Roark et al. , 2006) and vulnerable to a range of human threats, including bottom trawling (e.g. Clark & O’Driscoll, 2003; Freiwald et al. , 2004; Clark & Koslow, 2007), other forms of bottom-contact…”
• Conservation challenges for small-scale fisheries: Bycatch and habitat impacts of traps and gillnets (2011, background): “In contrast, studies of cold-water gorgonian corals have found high longevity from decades to centuries suggesting extremely low recovery rates (Andrews et al., 2005; Roark et al., 2007; Tracey et al., 2007).”
• Survey of deep-dwelling red coral (Corallium rubrum) populations at Cap de Creus (NW Mediterranean) (2008, background): “Recent studies on this and other sessile benthic octocorals corroborate low or very low growth rates (Marschal et al. 2004; Roark et al. 2006).”
• 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): “Radiocarbon measurements also support a diet of recently exported POM (Griffin and Druffel, 1989; Roark et al., 2006).”
• In situ measurement of survival and growth of Lophelia pertusa in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2009, background): “…Corallium (Grigg 2002, Andrews et al. 2005), Keratoisis (Thresher et al. 2007, Noé et al. 2008) and Primnoa (Risk et al. 2002, Mortensen & BuhlMortensen 2005), antipatharians (Grigg 1976, Roark et al. 2006, Love et al. 2007) and the precious gold coral Gerardia spp. (Grigg 1976, Roark et al. 2006).”
• Mingulay reef complex: an interdisciplinary study of cold-water coral habitat, hydrography and biodiversity (2009, background): “Individual antipatharian corals may live for 100s or even 1000s of years (Roark et al. 2006), and the remains of cold-water scleractinians can persist for 10s to 100 000s of years.”
