Inter- and intraspecific diversity in bacterial communities associated with two crustose coralline algae from the NW Mediterranean Sea - Coral Reefs Crustose coralline algae (CCAs) are key components and primary builders of coralligenous reefs, which are among the most biodiverse marine habitats in the Mediterranean Sea. Beyond their structural ro...

The Gorgonian Eater

Hermodice carunculata (the fireworm), is devouring a branch of the yellow gorgonian Leptogorgia viminalis. With its powerful jaws, it can feed even on the tough skeleton of the gorgonian, leaving unmistakable traces of its passage

“Once you have a garden, you have a future…” – Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

In La Gomera,
underwater gorgonian gardens are mainly composed by Leptogorgia viminalis and ruberrima.
These “gardens” play an essential role in marine ecosystems, providing shelter for diverse marine life.

Corallium rubrum is a Mediterranean flagship species in decline due to overfishing and climate change. We developed artificial caves to run controlled experiments on growth and reproduction in semi natural conditions. Results provide crucial insights for effective restoration strategies.

Orange gorgonian often takes a backseat to its beautiful relative, the red gorgonian. However, Leptogorgia holds significant intrigue due to its impressive resilience to rising temperatures. Our research aims at unravelling the mysteries behind this resistance.

Mediterranean gorgonians seek refuge from marine heatwaves in the mesophotic zone. But this deep refuge is only temporary. We must use this extra gift of time to study these marine forests, implement conservation, and start reducing CO2 emissions.
