Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Habitat availability and depth‐driven population demographics regulate reproductive output of a coral reef fish

Ecosphere, 2016
Global habitat decline may displace organisms from optimal environments, increasing reliance on ecosystems with lower habitat suitability and availability.

Unveiling the Microeukaryotic Landscape of the Red Coral Corallium rubrum Across the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the

Reproductive patterns in deep versus shallow populations of the precious Mediterranean gorgonian Corallium rubrum ( Linnaeus, 1758) ( Sardinia, Central-Western Mediterranean) [PDF]

, 2017
This study quanti es the main reproductive features of the long-lived red coral Corallium rubrum, an octocoral endemic to the Mediterranean Sea and neighbouring Atlantic areas and one of the most valuable of all marine species, at different depths (38-40

Fish ecology of mesophotic coral ecosystems

, 2017
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; reefs 30-150 m depth) are largely unstudied. This thesis uses the shallow reef to MCE depth gradient around Utila, Honduras, to address research questions in three themes: (i) understanding fish community ecological processes on MCEs; (ii) evaluating effective survey techniques for MCE fish research; and (iii ...

An underwater imagery identification guide for shallow, mesophotic and deep-sea benthos in Maldives [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal
During the 2022 Nekton Maldives Mission, we deployed a variety of platforms (snorkelling, remotely-operated vehicles and manned submersibles) to conduct video surveys of the biodiversity and composition of shallow (< 30 m), mesophotic (30-150 m ...

The red coral populations of the gulfs of Naples and Salerno: human impact and deep mass mortalities [PDF]

, 2014
The existence of deep red coral (Corallium rubrum) banks in the gulfs of Naples and Salerno (South Tyrrhenian Sea, Mediterranean Sea) is well known in historical records due to the heavy coral harvesting that occurred during the 19th and 20th centuries ...
