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): “The situation here is probably similar to coral mound communities in the northeast Atlantic, where labile material consisting of intact phytoplankton remains and fecal pellets was sampled at 1000 m depth (Kiriakoulakis et al., 2004).”
Morphology and growth of the deep-water gorgonians Primnoa resedaeformis and Paragorgia arborea (2005, methodology): “The percentage cover of different bottom substratum types was estimated as described by Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen (2004) .”
Habitat-forming cold-water corals show affinity for seamounts in the New Zealand region (2011, background): “…to deliver or concentrate sufficient food for these suspension-feeding organisms is the principal reason for their more local distribution (Frederiksen et al. 1992, Mortensen & Buhl-Mortensen 2004, White et al. 2005, Thiem et al. 2006, Mienis et al. 2007, Mortensen et al. 2008, Davies et al. 2009).”
Taxonomy, biogeography and DNA barcodes of Geodia species (Porifera, Demospongiae, Tetractinellida) in the Atlantic boreo-arctic region (2013, unknown): “1), Primnoa resedaeformis (Gunnerus, 1763)] (Tendal, 1992; Mortensen & Buhl-Mortensen, 2004; Gass & Willison, 2005; Wareham & Edinger, 2007).”
An Overview of the Animal Forests of the World (2017, background): “1999; “▶Animal Forests in Deep Coastal Bottoms and Continental Shelves of the Mediterranean Sea”; “▶Where Seaweed Forests Meet Animal Forests: the Examples of Macroalgae in Coral Reefs and the Mediterranean Coralligenous Ecosystem”) as well as in cold waters (e.g., Cárdenas and Montiel this volume; ”
Spatial distribution patterns of the gorgonians Eunicella singularis, Paramuricea clavata, and Leptogorgia sarmentosa (Cape of Creus, Northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “In addition, video surveys have the advantage of sampling large areas without affecting benthic communities (Bianchi et al. 2004; Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen 2004).”
Incongruent patterns of genetic connectivity among four ophiuroid species with differing coral host specificity on North Atlantic seamounts (2010, background): “In addition, the maximum depths of deep-water corals often reflect changes in the depths of water masses that have temperatures suitable for the corals, as was observed for deep-water gorgonian corals in the Northeast Channel of Canada (Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen 2004).”
Size and spatial structure in deep versus shallow populations of the Mediterranean gorgonian Eunicella singularis (Cap de Creus, northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “In contradiction to coral and gorgonian species that showed an over-dispersed (Stimson 1974; Endean et al. 1997 )o r random distribution of their colonies (Abel et al. 1983; Mistri 1995), we found E. singularis colonies to be clumped at all scales in both shallow and deep populations, thus indicatin”
When the species is also a habitat: Comparing the predictively modelled distributions of Lophelia pertusa and the reef habitat it forms (2011, background): “L. pertusa is a widely distributed species and occurs as isolated colonies on boulders, cobbles, sand ripples, and even flat sea bed where some form of hard substrate is available for attachment (Wilson, 1979; Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen, 2004a,b; Hovland, 2005).”
Diversity, distribution and spatial structure of the cold-water coral fauna of the Azores (NE Atlantic) (2013, result): “These findings are in line with the known habitat requirements for most coral species, namely the presence of hard substrates with high topographic relief (Genin et al., 1986; Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen, 2004; Guinan et al., 2009; Tong et al., 2012), low levels of sedimentation (Roberts et al.”
Characteristics of a black coral meadow in the twilight zone of the central Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “Unfortunately, there was no practical way to continuously estimate the width of the visual field, which varied with the height above the bottom and the pitch and roll angles of the video camera lens (Mortensen & Buhl-Mortensen 2004).”
Use of predictive habitat modelling to assess the distribution and extent of the current protection of ‘listed’ deep‐sea habitats (2013, background): “The species may also be found as isolated colonies attached to patches of hard substrate (Wilson, 1979a; Mortensen & Buhl-Mortensen, 2004a,b; Hovland, 2005).”
Survey of deep-dwelling red coral (Corallium rubrum) populations at Cap de Creus (NW Mediterranean) (2008, background): “Red coral in the deeper area (120–230 m depth) seems to grow in low abundance, similar to deep sea and Antarctic cnidarians (Orejas et al. 2002; Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen 2004; Stone 2006).”
Coral habitat in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska: depth distribution, fine-scale species associations, and fisheries interactions (2006, unknown): “depths between 183 and 498 m ( Mortensen and Buhl-Mortensen 2004 ).”
Biological structures as a source of habitat heterogeneity and biodiversity on the deep ocean margins (2010, background): “This is illustrated by results from the Northeast Channel, Nova Scotia, where Mortensen & Buhl-Mortensen (2004) found maximum densities of 199 colonies per 100 m2 for the small gorgonian Acanthogorgia armata, whereas the large Paragorgia arborea occurred with a maximum of 49 colonies per 100 m2.”
