Demography of the over-exploited Mediterranean red coral (Corrallium rubrum L. 1758)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2004
The precious octocoral, Corallium rubrum, endemic to the Mediterranean, has long been overexploited. A demographic approach to the conservation and management of this species would therefore be highly valuable.

The skeletome of the red coral Corallium rubrum indicates an independent evolution of biomineralization process in octocorals

open access: yesBMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The process of calcium carbonate biomineralization has arisen multiple times during metazoan evolution. In the phylum Cnidaria, biomineralization has mostly been studied in the subclass Hexacorallia (i.e.
