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 ...

Allelopathic interactions between the brown algal genus Lobophora (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) and scleractinian corals [PDF]
, 2016 Allelopathy has been recently suggested as a mechanism by which macroalgae may outcompete corals in damaged reefs. Members of the brown algal genus Lobophora are commonly observed in close contact with scleractinian corals and have been considered ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.COVER PHOTO: On the mesophotic slopes of Reunion Island, coral reefs shift to coral forests. At 45–75 m depth, a dense Subergorgia cf. suberosa population forms a forest with gorgonian colonies reaching up to 1.5 m height, creating a complex, three‐dimensional habitat that supports diverse fish and invertebrate communities.
