Cold-water corals in a changing ocean (2014, unknown): “[43].”
An Overview of the Animal Forests of the World (2017, background): “This is, for example, the case of the precious coral Corallium rubrum, which is still frequent along the Mediterranean coast but which has completely lost its ecological role (Tsounis et al. 2010; Rossi et al. this volume).”
Low connectivity and declining genetic variability along a depth gradient in Corallium rubrum populations (2011, background): “Even though red coral populations do not differ much in their general biological features (Tsounis et al. 2010), the present results highlight the importance of considering different management tools depending on the harvested area and on the depth distribution of the species.”
Effects of temperature on reproduction and survival of the calanoid copepod Pseudodiaptomus pelagicus (2009, background): “black and red corals) used for jewelry and home decorations have been overfished as collectors deplete certain areas and animals, then move on to other geographic areas, deeper waters, and other species [14].”
