2. First contribution to the knowledge of coralline algae distribution in the Slovenian circalittoral zone (northern Adriatic)Annalisa Falace, Sara Kaleb, Martina Orlando-Bonaca, Borut Mavrič, Lovrenc Lipej, 2011, original scientific article Abstract: Authors present new data on the coralline algal flora from Slovenia. They come from recent inspection of the Slovenian part of the Gulf of Trieste where peculiar communities, such as the biocoenosis of the coastal detritic bottom, the agglomeration of bioconcretions known in the area under the name of "trezze" or "tengue", and the bank of Mediterranean stony coral Cladocora caespitosa, occur. In such communities 11 coralligenous red algae were found. Five of them, Hydrolithon boreale, Lithothamnion minervae, L. philippii, L. sonderi and Neogoniolithon brassica-florida are newly recorded for Slovenia.

3. Coralline algae on biogenic formations in marine waters off Slovenia (northern Adriatic Sea)Martina Orlando-Bonaca, Borut Mavrič, Lovrenc Lipej, Sara Kaleb, Annalisa Falace, 2017, original scientific article Abstract: Two major biogenic formations, composed mainly by dead corallites of the Mediterranean stony coral (Cladocora caespitosa), have been recently studied in Slovenian marine waters. The paper presents new data about the presence of coralline algae on the biogenic formation situated off Cape Ronek and off Cape Debeli rtič. Coralline algae are very important for the creation, development and maintenance of calcareous bio-concretions that offer new niches for many invertebrates and other algae. They are listed as important builders of the coralligenous biocoenosis in the "Draft Lists of coralligenous/maërl populations and of main species to be considered by the inventory and monitoring" of the RAC-SPA, and should be further deeply studied and appropriately protected.
