LONG‐TERM ASSESSMENT OF TEMPERATE OCTOCORAL MORTALITY PATTERNS, PROTECTED VS. UNPROTECTED AREAS (2004, background): “In addition, mass mortality events have been reported and may be attributed either to natural causes or to human-induced difuse causes such as climate change (Cerrano et al. 2000, Perez et al. 2000, Garrabou et al. 2001, Coma and Ribes 2003).”
Oxygen consumption in Mediterranean octocorals under different temperatures (2010, background): “In the Mediterranean Sea, the summer season is considered potentially stressful to the benthic community (Coma and Ribes, 2003; Coma et al., 2009).”
Immediate and delayed effects of a mass mortality event on gorgonian population dynamics and benthic community structure in the NW Mediterranean Sea (2005, background): “In this regard, the recent warming of the Mediterranean (Pascual et al. 1995, Bethoux et al. 1998) has been related to the 1999 summer event (Cerrano et al. 2000, Coma et al. 2000, Perez et al. 2000, Garrabou et al. 2001, Coma & Ribes 2003).”
Spatial variability in reproductive cycle of the gorgonians Paramuricea clavata and Eunicella singularis (Anthozoa, Octocorallia) in the Western Mediterranean Sea (2007, result): “These results seem to agree with the hypothesis of summer feeding constraints in gorgonian shallow populations due to water stratiWcation, poor organic matter availability, and low frequency resuspension events ( Coma and Ribes 2003; Rossi et al. 2006b).”
Consequences of a mass mortality in populations of Eunicella singularis (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) in Menorca (NW Mediterranean) (2006, background): “Hypotheses about the cause of this event focus on the occurrence of a distinctive climatic anomaly during late summer and early fall 1999 (Cerrano et al. 2000, Perez et al. 2000, Romano et al. 2000, Martin et al. 2002, Coma & Ribes 2003).”
Upper thermal thresholds of shallow vs. deep populations of the precious Mediterranean red coral Corallium rubrum (L.): Assessing the potential effects of warming in the NW Mediterranean (2008, background): “To avoid potentially confounding of different thermotolerance thresholds due to season (Berkelmans and Willis, 1999; Coma and Ribes, 2003) or acclimation (Coles and Brown, 2003; Hoegh-Guldberg, 1999), the same season and populations”
Particle removal by coral reef communities: picoplankton is a major source of nitrogen (2003, background): “…capture by suspension feeders (Shimeta & Jumars 1991, Dai & Lin 1993, Fabricius et al. 1995, Sebens et al. 1998), and that it is difficult to apply studies focused on individual species to community scales (e.g. Patterson 1984, Pile 1997, Ribes et al. 1998a, Sebens et al. 1998, Coma & Ribes 2003).”
Importance of a micro-diet for scleractinian corals (2004, background): “In gorgonians, in situ studies never showed significant uptake of DOC (Ribes et al. 1998, 1999, Coma & Ribes 2003).”
Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages: A synthesis of present knowledge (2006, background): “Some suspension feeders might be able to withstand the normal duration of adverse summer conditions but not an anomalous prolongation of these conditions (Coma et al. 2000; Coma & Ribes 2003), resulting from an energy shortage of suspension feeders related to low food availability in summer.”
