• Survey of deep-dwelling red coral (Corallium rubrum) populations at Cap de Creus (NW Mediterranean) (2008, background): “Recent studies on this and other sessile benthic octocorals corroborate low or very low growth rates ( Marschal et al. 2004; Roark et al. 2006).”
• Overview of the conservation status of Mediterranean anthozoa (2017, background): “25 mm per year, with a higher growth in the early stages of life) hightlight the slow recovery times of disturbed populations (Marschal et al. 2004).”
• Radiocarbon-based ages and growth rates of Hawaiian deep-sea corals (2006, methodology): “In contrast, The counting of growth rings from the staining of the organic matrix underestimated the known age by 3 to 4 yr, and resulted in growth rates ranging from 140 to 750 µm yr–1 (mean of 340 ± 150 µm yr–1) (Marschal et al. 2004), which is much closer to the Δ14C growth rates we calculated.”
• 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): “The Mediterranean red coral is a long-lived azooxanthellate octocoral (N100 years) with low growth and recruitment rates (Bramanti et al., 2005; Garrabou and Harmelin, 2002; Marschal et al., 2004).”
• Population structure of an exploited benthic cnidarian: the case study of red coral (Corallium rubrum L.) (2006, methodology): “The basal diameter of red coral colonies, on the other hand, is highly correlated with age and has been used in several studies to calculate the age of gorgonians (Grigg 1976; Garci´ a-Rodri´ guez and Masso´ 1986b; Santangelo et al. 1993a; Bramanti et al. 2005; Marschal et al. 2004 ).”
• Effects of spatial variability and colony size on the reproductive output and gonadal development cycle of the Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum L.) (2006, background): “Growth rate does vary significantly on larger geographic scale though (Santangelo et al. 1993; Bramanti et al. 2004; Marschal et al. 2004 ).”
• Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages: A synthesis of present knowledge (2006, background): “A new technique for aging red coral developed by Marschal et al. (2005) suggests mean growth rates of around 0.35 mm yr–1, in close agreement with long-term observations.”
