Mapping Mediterranean bentho‐demersal communities to better inform marine conservation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Marine protected areas are one of the most common conservation tools being implemented worldwide to reach conservation targets, but their implementation does not usually take the heterogeneous distribution of bentho‐demersal communities into account.

Polyhydroxylated Steroids from the Bamboo Coral Isis hippuris

Marine Drugs, 2011
In previous studies on the secondary metabolites of the Taiwanese octocoral Isis hippuris, specimens have always been collected at Green Island. In the course of our studies on bioactive compounds from marine organisms, the acetone-solubles of the ...

Hidden partnerships in the dark: Cold‐water coral–fish associations in Fiordland, New Zealand

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The ichthyofauna of the Fiordland ecosystems of southern Aotearoa New Zealand was documented during four remotely operating vehicle (ROV) dives between 100 and 350 m depth. A total of 26 fish species were documented within two fiord basins.

Islands in the mud: The South Texas banks provide crucial mesophotic habitat for coral communities

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
On the continental shelf off the coast of South Texas lie a series of natural hard-bottom structures (rocky outcrops and relic coral-algal reefs) known as the South Texas Banks (STB), which provide critical habitat for benthic organisms and pelagic fish.

Assisted recovery of tissue loss in massive corals Orbicella faveolata: an alternative conservation tool for restoring damaged colonies

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs, vital for marine ecosystems and human well‐being, face drastic decline due to climate change effects. In the Caribbean, global disturbances and regional water pollution exacerbate conditions, eliciting disease outbreaks that, in synergy with coral bleaching and hurricanes, cause significant damage to key reef‐building

The Genome Sequence of the Octocoral Paramuricea clavata – A Key Resource To Study the Impact of Climate Change in the Mediterranean

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
The octocoral, Paramuricea clavata, is a habitat-forming anthozoan with a key ecological role in rocky benthic and biodiversity-rich communities in the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic. Shallow populations of P.
