• Effects of ocean acidification and high temperatures on the bryozoan Myriapora truncata at natural CO2 vents (2010, background): “…(24–26 C, depending the length of exposure) during the summer season (Rodolfo-Metalpa et al. 2008b), as mortalities were reported along the coasts of Provence (France) and in the Balearic Islands in the warm summers of 1999 and 2003 (Perez et al. 2000; Garrabou et al. 2003; Coma et al. 2006).”
• Survey of deep-dwelling red coral (Corallium rubrum) populations at Cap de Creus (NW Mediterranean) (2008, background): “changes in the stability of the water column) cause changes in temperature and seston availability that result in higher mortality in shallow water gorgonians than in deeper ones (Linares et al. 2005; Coma et al. 2006).”
• Size and spatial structure in deep versus shallow populations of the Mediterranean gorgonian Eunicella singularis (Cap de Creus, northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “have not affected the study area, Cap de Creus (Coma et al. 2006; Garrabou et al. 2009).”
• Spatial distribution patterns of the gorgonians Eunicella singularis, Paramuricea clavata, and Leptogorgia sarmentosa (Cape of Creus, Northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “…to be comparable with previous studies that estimated a minimum sample size of 1.75 m2 for Eunicella singularis and 1.5 m2 for Paramuricea clavata (Coma et al. 2006; Linares et al. 2008a) and a representative area of 2.0 m2 for invertebrates in the rocky substrata of the Mediterranean (Weinberg…”
• Paramuricea clavata (Anthozoa, Octocorallia) loss in the Marine Protected Area of Tavolara (Sardinia, Italy) due to a mass mortality event (2011, methodology): “…from 40 to 20 m depth every 5 m from the bottom to the top of each shoal, following standard methodology set out by similar studies (Cerrano et al. 2005; Coma et al. 2006; Linares et al. 2008a) and in relation to the geomorphology of the sites (Papa 1 from )35 to )20 m; Papa 2 from )40 to )25 m).”
