What do we know about Mediterranean Cold (Deep)-Water coral ecosystems? In this book, specialists offer answers and insights with a series of chapters and short papers about the paleoecology, biology, physiology and ecology of the corals and other organisms that comprise these ecosystems. Structured on a temporal axis—Past, Present and Future—the reviews and selected study cases cover the cold and deep coral habitats known to date in the Mediterranean Basin. This book illustrates and explains the deep Mediterranean coral habitats that might have originated similar thriving ecosystems in today’s Atlantic Ocean.

Understanding the evolution of marine biotas is a major goal in science, but little is know about the diversification of major groups of marine organisms on a global scale. To investigate the contribution of the deep-sea and shallow-water tropics to the formation of marine biotas, I used molecular phylogenetics and the fossil record to trace the evolutionary history of the second largest group of extant stony corals: the Stylasteridae. I sampled 100 of the 290 extant stylasterid species (in 20 of the 26 extant described genera) on a worldwide scale, and estimated their phylogenetic relationships using a 2638 base pair aligned DNA dataset. The results show that stylasterid corals originated and diversified in the deep-sea, and invaded the shallow-water tropics at least three times. The phylogenetic hypothesis provides the first compelling evidence that the deep-sea has contributed to the formation of shallow-water marine biotas. I also describe the first shallow-water stylasterid coral from the tropical eastern Pacific, and the first flexible stony coral. Finally, I revise the stylasterid genus Errinopora. Ten species of Errinopora are considered valid, four of which are described as new.

Advances in Marine Biology was first published in 1963. Now edited by A.J. Southward (Marine Biological Association, UK), P.A. Tyler (Southampton Oceanography Association, UK), C.M. Young (Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, USA) and L.A. Fuiman (University of Texas, USA), the serial publishes in-depth and up-to-date reviews on a wide range of topics which will appeal to postgraduates and researchers in marine biology, fisheries science, ecology, zoology, oceanography. Eclectic volumes in the series are supplemented by thematic volumes on such topics as The Biology of Calanoid Copepods. - Includes over 55 tables of descriptive data - Covers such topics as coral reefs, southern ocean cephalopods, seagrass and mangrove habitats, and much more - 4 reviews authored by experts in their relevant fields of study
