The taxonomy, biodiversity, and evolutionary history of black corals (order Antipatharia) [PDF]

, 2022
Jeremy Horowitz studied the taxonomy and evolutionary history of black corals (order Antipatharia). He found that more black coral species occur in the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea than previously thought, described new species and created a new ...

Precious Coral Fisheries of Hawaii and the U.S. Pacific Islands [PDF]

, 1993
The precious coral fishery in Hawaii and the Western Pacific consists of one industry but two distinct and separate fisheries. The first is the harvest of black coral by scuba divers from depths of 30-100 m.

Five new species of black coral (Anthozoa; Antipatharia) from the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea, Australia [PDF]

, 2022
We describe five new species of black corals from the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea, collected at depths ranging from 14 to 789 m: two in the family Antipathidae (Antipathes falkorae sp. nov. and Antipathes morrisi sp.

Deep‐Sea Coral Abundance, Distribution, and Community Structure on Seafloor Features Across a Broad Depth Gradient in North‐Central California National Marine Sanctuaries

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Patterns in deep‐sea coral (DSC) diversity and distribution are described for a range of benthic habitat features including offshore banks, continental shelf and slope, and submarine canyons in three national marine sanctuaries off the coast of North‐central California.

Multi‐Taxon Predictions of Deep‐Sea Corals and Sponges From Stacked Species Distribution Models in the United States West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone and Relation to Trawl Closure Zones

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Abundant species distribution models (SDMs) of deep‐sea corals and sponges (DSCS) allow one to make community‐level predictions about DSCS. Pairing that with the conservation information of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) due to their sensitivity to seafloor trawling, one can assess the efficacy of established seafloor protections ...

High‐Resolution Ensemble Modelling of Coral Distributions in the Northern Gulf of Mexico Based on Geomorphometry: Coral Diversity and Benthic Habitat Fragmentation From Oil and Gas Infrastructure to Inform Spatial Planning

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 9, September 2024.
ABSTRACT The northern Gulf of Mexico is home to several species of corals that provide a wide range of ecosystem services to other organisms. Oil and gas infrastructure, such as platforms and pipelines, form an extensive network throughout the northern Gulf of Mexico.

Shallow water caprellids (Crustacea: Amphipoda) of Azores and Madeira [PDF]

, 2015
The species composition and vertical distribution of caprellids associated to hard bottoms (mainly hydroids and algae) were studied from 0 to 41 m deep in Azores and Madeira. The highest caprellid densities were measured between 0 and 10 m.
