High biodiversity on a deep-water reef in the eastern Fram Strait. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We report on the distribution and abundance of megafauna on a deep-water rocky reef (1796-2373 m) in the Fram Strait, west of Svalbard. Biodiversity and population density are high, with a maximum average of 26.7±0.9 species m(-2) and 418.1±49.6 ...

Deep-reef fish assemblages of the Great Barrier Reef shelf-break (Australia). [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 AbstractTropical mesophotic and sub-mesophotic fish ecology is poorly understood despite increasing vulnerability of deeper fish assemblages. Worldwide there is greater fishing pressure on continental shelf-breaks and the effects of disturbances on deeper fish species have not yet been assessed.

Deep embedded clustering of coral reef bioacoustics [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021 Deep clustering was applied to unlabeled, automatically detected signals in a coral reef soundscape to distinguish fish pulse calls from segments of whale song. Deep embedded clustering (DEC) learned latent features of the signals and formed clusters using fixed-length power spectrograms of the signals.

Deep reefs of the Great Barrier Reef offer limited thermal refuge during mass coral bleaching [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 It has been suggested that deep coral reefs offer a refuge against warming and mass bleaching. Here Frade et al. look at the 2016 bleaching event in the northern Great Barrier Reef and found that deep reefs initially acted as thermal refuges, though this

Tiger reefs: Self‐organized regular patterns in deep‐sea cold‐water coral reefs [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2023 AbstractComplexity theory predicts that self‐organized, regularly patterned ecosystems store more biomass and are more resilient than spatially uniform systems. Self‐organized ecosystems are well‐known from the terrestrial realm, with “tiger bushes” being the archetypical example and mussel beds and tropical coral reefs the marine examples.

Deep reefs are not refugium for shallow‐water fish communities in the southwestern Atlantic
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The deep reef refugia hypothesis (DRRH) predicts that deep reef ecosystems may act as refugium for the biota of disturbed shallow waters. Because deep reefs are among the most understudied habitats on Earth, formal tests of the DRRH remain scarce. If the

Coral reef crisis in deep and shallow reefs: 30 years of constancy and change in reefs of Curaçao and Bonaire [PDF]
Coral Reefs, 2005 Coral reefs are thought to be in worldwide decline but available data are practically limited to reefs shallower than 25 m. Zooxanthellate coral communities in deep reefs (30-40 m) are relatively unstudied. Our question is: what is happening in deep reefs in terms of coral cover and coral mortality?

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Submarine canyons are efficient sediment transport pathways from shallow marine areas to deep sea. Along active margins, large tsunamis are a trigger for sediment transport to deep sea.

Interconnected marine habitats form a single continental-scale reef system in South America
Scientific Reports, 2022 Large gaps in reef distribution may hinder the dispersal of marine organisms, interrupting processes vital to the maintenance of biodiversity. Here we show the presence and location of extensive reef habitats on the continental shelf between the Amazon ...
