Coral Reefs, 2013 Little is known about growth rates of deep-water reef-forming corals or the rates at which these reefs accumulate. Such information is critical for determining the resilience of the reefs to anthropogenic impacts such as trawling and climate change.

Regional Variations in Live Proportions of Southwest Pacific Cold-Water Coral Solenosmilia variabilis Reefs [PDF]
AbstractReef-building cold-water-corals (CWC) form deep-sea habitats that can create biodiversity hotspots. As live coral and dead intact framework provide disparate ecosystem services and are vulnerable to different anthropogenic stressors, it is important to quantify the proportions of each on CWC reefs.

Marine Biodiversity Records, 2014 The species of Glycerella share a prostomium with four rings bearing four distal appendages, and proboscis with rod-like aileron. They also have the first two parapodia uniramous, while the following are biramous, with dorsal and ventral cirri; the notopodia bear simple capillaries chaetae.

Putative promiscuous symbionts in deep-sea corals and crinoids may contribute to nitrogen cycling [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Crinoids (feather stars) are frequently found in association with corals, yet the physiological and microbial interactions between these organisms remain poorly understood.

New approaches to high-resolution mapping of marine vertical structures. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Vertical walls in marine environments can harbour high biodiversity and provide natural protection from bottom-trawling activities. However, traditional mapping techniques are usually restricted to down-looking approaches which cannot adequately ...

Environmental variability and biodiversity of megabenthos on the Hebrides Terrace Seamount (Northeast Atlantic). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2014 We present the first remotely operated vehicle investigation of megabenthic communities (1004–1695 m water depth) on the Hebrides Terrace Seamount (Northeast Atlantic).

Extraordinarily high biomass benthic community on Southern Ocean seamounts. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2011 We describe a previously unknown assemblage of seamount-associated megabenthos that has by far the highest peak biomass reported in the deep-sea outside of vent communities.

On the paradox of thriving cold-water coral reefs in the food-limited deep sea [PDF]
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 1768-1795, October 2023., 2023 The deep sea is amongst the most food-limited habitats on Earth, as only a small fraction (

Cold‐water coral assemblages on vertical walls from the Northeast Atlantic [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 284-298, March 2020., 2019 Aim In this study, we assess patterns of cold‐water coral assemblages observed on deep‐sea vertical walls. Similar to their shallow‐water counterparts, vertical and overhanging walls in the deep sea can host highly diverse communities, but because of ...
