Spatial distribution patterns of the gorgonians Eunicella singularis, Paramuricea clavata, and Leptogorgia sarmentosa (Cape of Creus, Northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “The occurrence and abundance of gorgonians in the study area are consistent with previous data from other locations within the Western Mediterranean Sea (Table 2).”
Response of Mediterranean coralline algae to ocean acidification and elevated temperature (2009, background): “…during the summer period were also reported for other NW Mediterranean calcareous benthic organisms living in coralligenous communities such as gorgonians (Cerrano et al., 2000; Garrabou et al., 2001; Linares et al., 2005) and zooxanthellate scleratinian corals (Rodolfo-Metalpa et al., 2000).”
Response of zooxanthellae in symbiosis with the Mediterranean corals Cladocora caespitosa and Oculina patagonica to elevated temperatures (2006, background): “During previous summer months (1997–2005), several mortality events occurred in the Ligurian Sea, which affected sponges, gorgonians (Cerrano et al. 2000; Coma et al. 2000; Garrabou et al. 2001; Linares et al. 2005 ), small sessile benthic organisms (Perez et al. 2000) and coral species (Rodolfo-Me”
Mediterranean coralligenous assemblages: A synthesis of present knowledge (2006, background): “The accumulated density decrease in Paramuricea clavata colonies 4 yr after the mass mortality accounts for around half the initial population at the Port-Cros National Park (France) (Linares et al. 2005).”
Paramuricea clavata (Anthozoa, Octocorallia) loss in the Marine Protected Area of Tavolara (Sardinia, Italy) due to a mass mortality event (2011, background): “…Verlag GmbH 107 identified, typically associated with environmental factors (Cerrano et al. 2000, 2005; Pérez et al. 2000; Calvisi et al. 2003; Linares et al. 2005, 2008b; Cigliano & Gambi 2007; Previati et al. 2010) but a number of pathogens have also been implicated (Martin et al. 2002;…”
Survey of deep-dwelling red coral (Corallium rubrum) populations at Cap de Creus (NW Mediterranean) (2008, background): “Coma et al. 1994; Linares et al. 2005; Cupido et al. 2007), or Eunicella singularis (35–65 colonies m i2 in pre-coral-”
Consequences of a mass mortality in populations of Eunicella singularis (Cnidaria: Octocorallia) in Menorca (NW Mediterranean) (2006, background): “…1999, one of the largest mass mortality events occurred, and for the first time species from a wide variety of phyla covering hundreds of kilometers in the NW Mediterranean were affected (French and Italian coasts; Cerrano et al. 2000, Perez et al. 2000, Garrabou et al. 2001, Linares et al. 2005).”
Thermodependent bacterial pathogens and mass mortalities in temperate benthic communities: a new case of emerging disease linked to climate change (2007, background): “, 1998), populations showed a limited recovery capacity 4 years subsequent to the 1999 mass mortality event (Bonhomme et al., 2003; Linares et al., 2005).”
Oxygen consumption in Mediterranean octocorals under different temperatures (2010, background): “In the NW Mediterranean Sea, massive mortality events are occurring nearly every summer/ autumn season, involving mainly benthic invertebrates between 0 and 50 m depth (Cerrano et al., 2000; Perez et al., 2000; Garrabou et al., 2001; Cerrano et al., 2005; Linares et al., 2005; Garrabou et al., 2009)”
