Establishing microbial baselines to identify indicators of coral reef health [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Microorganisms make a significant contribution to reef ecosystem health and resilience via their critical role in mediating nutrient transformations, their interactions with macro-organisms and their provision of chemical cues that underpin the ...

Comparing convolutional neural network and random forest for benthic habitat mapping in Apollo Marine Park

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 275-291, April 2026.
A comparison of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) model predictions of benthic habitats within Apollo Marine Park. The CNN (left) and RF (right) classification maps show the spatial distribution of three habitat types: high energy circalittoral rock with seabed‐covering sponges, low complexity circalittoral rock with non‐crowded

Temperate mesophotic ecosystems: gaps and perspectives of an emerging conservation challenge for the Mediterranean Sea

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2019
Mesophotic habitats, hosting benthic assemblages totally unknown and unexpected in the early 2000s, are attracting an increasing interest from scientists.

Marine Heatwaves Have Increased in Frequency, Duration, and Depth Across Southeast Asia

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Southeast Asia supports high marine biodiversity that is increasingly exposed to intensifying marine heatwaves (MHWs). Despite the ecological and socio‐economic consequences of thermal anomalies, the regional spatio‐temporal dynamics and vertical structure of MHWs remain poorly constrained. Here, we use satellite‐derived surface and reanalysis

Structure of Mesophotic Reef Fish Assemblages in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) support diverse communities of marine organisms with changes in community structure occurring along a depth gradient. In recent years, MCEs have gained attention due to their depths that provide protection from natural ...

Mesophotic rocks dominated by Diazona violacea: a Mediterranean codified habitat

open access: yesThe European Zoological Journal, 2020
The football ascidian Diazona violacea was observed in three different sites in the Aeolian Archipelago (Southern Tyrrhenian Sea), from 53 to 116 m depth.

The future of coral reefs subject to rapid climate change: Lessons from natural extreme environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Global climate change and localized anthropogenic stressors are driving rapid declines in coral reef health. In vitro experiments have been fundamental in providing insight into how reef organisms will potentially respond to future climates.

Accounting for Intra‐ and Intergenomic Sequence Variation in Reference Barcodes Improves eDNA Metabarcoding Biodiversity Assessment

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can rapidly characterise biodiversity, yet its accuracy and effectiveness are limited by incomplete DNA barcode reference databases. We evaluated how comprehensive reference databases that include sequence variation within genomes (intragenomic) and across individuals and species (intergenomic) improve ...

Black coral forests enhance taxonomic and functional distinctiveness of mesophotic fishes in an oceanic island: implications for biodiversity conservation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
The degradation of shallow ecosystems has called for efforts to understand the biodiversity and functioning of Mesophotic Ecosystems. However, most empirical studies have been restricted to tropical regions and have majorly focused on taxonomic entities (
