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

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

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

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 ...

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 (
