Beyond the Surface: Mesophotic Reefs as Potential Refuges for Shallow Fish Assemblages

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT The deep reef refugia hypothesis suggests that the effects of disturbance decrease as depth increases; thus, reefs in the mesophotic zone potentially serve as refuges for communities in shallower zones. This study challenged this hypothesis by evaluating fish diversity in shallow and mesophotic reefs in a marine protected area in the Gulf of ...

The draft genome of Actinia tenebrosa reveals insights into toxin evolution

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Sea anemones have a wide array of toxic compounds (peptide toxins found in their venom) which have potential uses as therapeutics. To date, the majority of studies characterizing toxins in sea anemones have been restricted to species from the superfamily,
