Opportunistic feeding on various organic food sources by the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (2013, background): “These reefs form hotspots of biodiversity (Roberts et al., 2006) and are important in carbon cycling along continental margins (van Oevelen et al., 2009).”
Using 3D photogrammetry from ROV video to quantify cold-water coral reef structural complexity and investigate its influence on biodiversity and community assemblage (2019, background): “Coldwater coral reefs support diverse habitat specific communities of epifauna and infauna (Jonsson et al. 2004; Mortensen and Fosså 2006; Henry and Roberts 2007; Bourque and Demopoulos 2018), with enhanced biodiversity and benthic biomass compared to adjacent substrate (Van Oevelen et al. 2009).”
Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions (2011, background): “For example, coral reefs have been shown to be hot spots for carbon cycling due to the interception of organic matter from the surrounding water (van Oevelen et al., 2009).”
