Unveiling the Microeukaryotic Landscape of the Red Coral Corallium rubrum Across the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
This study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2707-2725, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Sharks have often been perceived to play a critical role in the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems globally. Yet, there is relatively little evidence to support this idea across all but a limited set of species and contexts. Research on the roles and importance of reef sharks has been complicated by logistical challenges in collecting data on ...

Fine‐scale structure among mesophotic populations of the great star coral Montastraea cavernosa revealed by SNP genotyping

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Mesophotic reefs (30‐150 m) have been proposed as potential refugia that facilitate the recovery of degraded shallow reefs following acute disturbances such as coral bleaching and disease.

Structural and developmental insights into the muscles involved in lionfish (Pterois spp.) vocalisations

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 6, Page 1982-1994, December 2025.
Abstract Vocal signalling is an important mode of communication in fishes. The two species of lionfish in the Pterois complex, the Indo‐Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans) and the red lionfish (Pterois miles), are both known to produce different types of sounds with sonic muscles attached to the swimbladder.

Characterization of Shark Movements on a Mesophotic Caribbean Coral Reef and Temporal Association with Fish Spawning Aggregations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Habitat use of mesophotic coral reefs by sharks is largely unknown. However, it is well established that mesophotic reefs are the site of spawning aggregations for many species of teleost fish.

Marine reserves can mitigate and promote adaptation to climate change [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Strong decreases in greenhouse gas emissions are required to meet the reduction trajectory resolved within the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, even these decreases will not avert serious stress and damage to life on Earth, and additional steps are needed ...

Sponges in a Changing Climate: Survival of Agelas oroides in a Warming Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Sponges hold a key role in benthic environments, and specifically in the Mediterranean Sea. Past events of mass mortality in sponge communities have been linked to extended periods of high-temperature anomalies, yet it is unknown how a gradual change ...

Climate change impacts on mesophotic regions of the Great Barrier Reef. [PDF]

open access: yesProc Natl Acad Sci U S A
Significance Climate model projections of coral reefs have solely been made using surface temperatures and failed to consider vast areas of deeper, mesophotic reefs at 30 to 50 m.
