• Acute survivorship of the deep-sea coral Lophelia pertusa from the Gulf of Mexico under acidification, warming, and deoxygenation (2014, background): “Outside of this area, L. pertusa occurs in the Mediterranean Sea at depths below 200 m and is associated with higher temperatures from 12.5 to 14◦C (Tursi et al., 2004; Freiwald et al., 2009).”
• Characteristics of a black coral meadow in the twilight zone of the central Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “Research on deep coral assemblages in the Mediterranean Sea has been limited to the scleractinian coral banks mainly composed of the genera Lophelia and Madrepora (Tursi et al. 2004, Taviani et al. 2005), while the populations of black corals and gorgonians are almost unknown.”
• Deep, diverse and definitely different: unique attributes of the world's largest ecosystem (2010, background): “, 2009) and Lophelia pertusa (Tursi et al., 2004).”
• Deep coral growth in the Mediterranean Sea: an overview (2005, background): “Before the discovery of a thriving population off Santa Maria di Leuca (Mastrototaro et al. 2001; Taviani et al. 2004; Tursi et al. 2004), Lophelia pertusa was considered close to extinction in the Mediterranean Sea.”
• Biodiversity of the white coral bank off Cape Santa Maria di Leuca (Mediterranean Sea): An update (2010, methodology): “eliasoni, an eastern Atlantic species, formerly described from off Portugal (Zibrowius, 1970), has only recently been recorded from the SML area (Tursi et al., 2004) living on white corals.”
• Trophic relationships in a deep Mediterranean cold-water coral bank (Santa Maria di Leuca, Ionian Sea) (2009, background): “…in great detail, since 2000 on the Santa Maria di Leuca (SML) province (northern Ionian Sea, 300 to 1100 m depth) (Mastrototaro et al. 2002, 2010, Tursi et al. 2004) and lately in the Eastern Ionian Sea (Strait of Sicily, 400 to 600 m depth) (Schembri et al. 2007) and the northwestern…”
