• Survey of deep-dwelling red coral (Corallium rubrum) populations at Cap de Creus (NW Mediterranean) (2008, background): “ing it entirely (Ballesteros 2006).”
• Sponges as a source of dissolved inorganic nitrogen: Nitrification mediated by temperate sponges (2007, methodology): “First, sponges are ubiquitous marine benthic suspension feeders with great importance in terms of abundance and structure in many rocky bottom habitats (e.g., Uriz et al. 1992; Ballesteros 2006).”
• Deep-water stands of Cystoseira zosteroides C. Agardh (Fucales, Ochrophyta) in the Northwestern Mediterranean : Insights into assemblage structure and population dynamics (2009, background): “Deep-water Mediterranean coastal rocky bottoms are usually dominated by encrusting corallines (Ballesteros, 2006), although sparse stands of fleshy algae (Cystoseira spp.”
• Size and spatial structure in deep versus shallow populations of the Mediterranean gorgonian Eunicella singularis (Cap de Creus, northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “1994) in Mediterranean sublittoral communities, providing biomass and structural complexity (Gili and Coma 1998; Ballesteros 2006).”
• Consequences of a mass mortality in populations of Eunicella singularis (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) in Menorca (NW Mediterranean) (2006, background): “Understanding the consequences of these major events is of key importance for the conservation of these affected communities, which are among the richest in the Mediterranean (Ballesteros 2006).”
• Biodiversity of the white coral bank off Cape Santa Maria di Leuca (Mediterranean Sea): An update (2010, background): “…bottoms deepwater coral build-ups play a role similar to that of coralligenous pinnacles on the soft bottoms of the circalittoral zone in which the diversified niches sustain a complex community dominated by algae, sessile suspension feeders and a rich and diverse vagile fauna (Ballesteros, 2006).”
• 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).”
