• Red Coral Fishery at the Costa Brava (NW Mediterranean): Case Study of an Overharvested Precious Coral (2007, background): “The present study was carried out at the Spanish NW Mediterranean coast, the Costa Brava (Figure 1).”
• Deep-water Corallium rubrum (L., 1758) from the Mediterranean Sea: preliminary genetic characterisation (2010, background): “…cliffs and in caves; these populations have been commercially exploited for centuries and, at present, are made by small, short-lived colonies (Santangelo & Abbiati 2001); (ii) intermediate-water populations, at a depth range of about 60–300 m, made by larger, sparse, longlived colonies…”
• Reproduction and population sexual structure of the overexploited Mediterranean red coral Corallium rubrum (2003, methodology): “More recently, depletion of commercial stocks, which have long been heavily exploited (Santangelo et al. 1993a, Santangelo & Abbiati 2001), has led to renewed interest in this species (Cicogna & Cattaneo-Vietti 1993, Cicogna et al. 1999).”
• Low connectivity and declining genetic variability along a depth gradient in Corallium rubrum populations (2011, background): “The high genetic structuring found between samples with the evidence of recent bottlenecks suggests recent isolation and exploitation of these red coral populations (Santangelo and Abbiati 2001; Tsounis et al. 2007).”
• Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages: A synthesis of present knowledge (2006, background): “Harvesting is the major source of disturbance in red coral populations (Santangelo et al. 1993, Santangelo & Abbiati 2001), although large-scale mortalities have also been documented (Arnoux et al. 1992, Garrabou et al. 2001).”
• Effects of spatial variability and colony size on the reproductive output and gonadal development cycle of the Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum L.) (2006, background): “Recent data demonstrate that this is the effect of red coral being systematically harvested for use in the jewellery industry since the seventeeth century (Tescione 1973; Santangelo and Abbiati 2001; Tsounis 2005).”
