Effects of temperature, light and heterotrophy on the growth rate and budding of the temperate coral Cladocora caespitosa (2008, result): “It might be concluded, however, from studies on temperate gorgonian, sponges and benthic suspension feeders in general ( Ribes et al. 1999; Coma et al. 2000, 2002; Bavestrello et al. 2006), that temperature, feeding, and light should play an important role in their physiology.”
Relationship between symbiont density and photosynthetic carbon acquisition in the temperate coral Cladocora caespitosa (2010, methodology): “The surface area of all colony sub-samples was calculated using the method described by Rodolfo-Metalpa et al. (2006a).”

Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Even some non reef-building (but nevertheless zooxanthellate) Mediterranean corals and gorgonians have been severely affected by temperature-related bleaching and mortality (Cerrano et al., 2000; Rodolfo-Metalpa et al., 2005, 2006).”
