Animal releasing devices for deep‐sea ecological studies

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 5, July 2025.
Ecological studies and restoration efforts in deep‐sea environments are a priority for international programs aimed at preserving biodiversity and recovering ocean health. These efforts, however, face technical challenges, particularly in the controlled placement of megafauna individuals near the seabed.

Limited Genetic Connectivity between Gorgonian Morphotypes along a Depth Gradient

PLoS ONE, 2016
Gorgonian species show a high morphological variability in relation to the environment in which they live. In coastal areas, parameters such as temperature, light, currents, and food availability vary significantly with depth, potentially affecting ...

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.

Briarenones A‒C, New Briarellin Diterpenoids from the Gorgonian Briareum violaceum

Marine Drugs, 2019
Three new eunicellin-derived diterpenoids of briarellin type, briarenones A‒C (1‒3), were isolated from a Formosan gorgonian Briareum violaceum. The chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses ...

Grazers and predators mediate the post-settlement bottleneck in Caribbean octocoral forests

Frontiers in Marine Science
In the Caribbean, reef-building scleractinian corals have declined precipitously and octocorals have emerged as one of their main successors. The success of octocorals and the formation of octocoral forests has been attributed to their continuing ...
