Abstract
    The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible effects of the gorgonian forests on the short-term recruitment of epibenthic species in the coralligenous assemblages. Apical branches of Eunicella cavolinii and Paramuricea clavata were transplanted on recruitment plastic panels deployed in two experimental sites (Tavolara and Portofino). Four months after the deployment, epibenthic assemblages colonising the panels largely differed between sites and in relation to the gorgonian species revealing both site and species-specific gorgonian forests effects. Overall, both gorgonian species reduced the growth rate of non-calcareous algae and the recruitment of some serpulid polychaetes.
