An Overview of the Animal Forests of the World (2017, background): “In several Mediterranean coastal communities, gorgonians can form monospecific forests that support highly structured and diverse associated fauna (Ballesteros 2006; Gori et al. 2011).”
Low connectivity and declining genetic variability along a depth gradient in Corallium rubrum populations (2011, background): “Differences in environmental features between the two study sites (e.g. hydrodynamic, climatic and geomorphologic characteristics; see Gori et al. (2011) and Cattaneo Vietti et al. (2010) for a description of the two study areas) did not alter this trend.”
Size and spatial structure in deep versus shallow populations of the Mediterranean gorgonian Eunicella singularis (Cap de Creus, northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “Similarly, in the Mediterranean Sea, some gorgonian species have been observed to develop dense populations from shallow waters down to 70–90 m depth (Bo et al. 2009; Gori et al. 2011).”
