A catastrophic mass‐mortality episode of gorgonians and other organisms in the Ligurian Sea (North‐western Mediterranean), summer 1999
In the late summer of 1999, an extensive mortality of gorgonians and other epi-benthic organisms was observed in the Ligurian Sea (Mediterranean Sea) from the Tuscan Archipelago to Marseille.…

The spatial structure of Antarctic biodiversity
Patterns of environmental spatial structure lie at the heart of the most fundamental and familiar patterns of diversity on Earth. Antarctica contains some of the strongest environmental gradients on…

Phylogenetic relationships within Ovulidae (Gastropoda: Cypraeoidea) based on molecular data from the 16S rRNA gene
TLDR
This work used a molecular approach to generate the basal phylogeny of the ovulid family, a widespread family of specialised browsing carnivorous molluscs that feed on polyps and tissues of Anthozoa, to explore the specificity of the association and the degree of morphological adaptation to the host.

Gold coral (Savalia savaglia) and gorgonian forests enhance benthic biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the mesophotic zone
TLDR
The results suggest that S. savaglia should be particularly protected not only for its specific rarity, endemism and vulnerability but also because it has a prominent role in sustaining high levels of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in the surrounding benthos of the twilight zone.

Diversity and distribution of mollusc assemblages on the Victoria Land coast and the Balleny Islands, Ross Sea, Antarctica
In 2004 as part of the joint Latitudinal Gradient Project in the Ross Sea, cruises of RV Tangaroa and RV Italica along the Victoria Land coast and the Balleny Islands collected 142 species of mollusc…

A benthic mucilage event in North‐Western Mediterranean Sea and its possible relationships with the summer 2003 European heatwave: short term effects on littoral rocky assemblages
TLDR
The anomalous temperature increase of seawater has to be regarded as the major contributing event that led to the mucilage outbreak and its negative effects on many benthic taxa are described.

Molecular data from the 16S rRNA gene for the phylogeny of Veneridae (Mollusca: Bivalvia)
TLDR
The results obtained using the maximum-parsimony and neighbour-joining methods indicate that the current placement of the genera into subfamilies does not always reflect a natural subdivision of the family.

Patterns, processes and vulnerability of Southern Ocean benthos: a decadal leap in knowledge and understanding
TLDR
This paper evaluates recent progress in Southern Ocean benthic research and identifies priorities for future research, including timely and accurate species identifications, application of standardized sampling and reporting procedures, as well as cooperation between disciplines and nations.
