Paramuricea clavata (Risso, 1826) is a typical gorqonian species of sublittoral communities
found on rocky substrates in the Mediterranean Sea. The reproductive biology of this …

Gorgonian species richness and abundance were documented in a survey of 14 reefs
across the Gulf of México. The results show two main patterns:(1) a westward decreasing …

Sexual reproductive effort in the Mediterranean gorgonian Paramuricea clavata was studied
from 1990 to 1993 in a population dwelling at a depth of between 17 and 19 m off the Medes …

Among species life-history traits, size and age at first reproduction are particularly relevant to
design meaningful conservation plans. The main goal of this study was to define the size at …

The spatial distribution, density and reproductive ecology of Ainigmaptilon antarcticum was
studied using samples (colonies) collected during the EASIZ (Ecology of the Antarctic Sea …

In situ fertilization was examined in the gorgonian Pseudoplexaura porosa during 1994 and
1995 spawning events in the San Blas Islands, Panama, to assess spatial and temporal …

Reproductive success among clonal taxa is often portrayed as a simple function of clone
size, but reproduction in Pseudoplexaura porosa (Houtuyn), a common Caribbean …

The reproductive patterns of four Antarctic gorgonian species have been investigated. Two
of them, Dasystenella acanthina and Thouarella sp., present the bottle-brush-shape type; …

This study examined the sexual reproductive cycle, energy storage and metabolic
requirements of a Mediterranean gorgonian in a mesophotic ecosystem (~ 70 m depth) …

In this study, we examined the variability and potential patterns of fecundity in the precious
Mediterranean red coral Corallium rubrum (L. 1758). A total of 12 populations were selected …
