Scientia Marina, 2017 The challenges of delimiting and identifying marine invertebrate species impede estimations of true biodiversity. This is particularly true in the case of gorgonian diversity, in which only classical morphological characters (e.g. branching pattern, size

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 ...

Octocoral densities and mortalities in Gorgona Island, Colombia, Tropical Eastern Pacific
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014 Owing to the decrease of reef organisms in general, it has become essential to study populations that are prone to marine diseases, with the purpose of developing accurate survivorship predictions and in turn alarm on triggers and drivers of disease ...
