The sponge holobiont in a changing ocean: from microbes to ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now considered holobionts, complex ecosystems consisting of the host, the microbiota ...

Climate change impacts to upwelling and shallow reef nutrient sources across an oceanic archipelago

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3127-3142, November 2025.
Abstract Upwelling delivers key nutritional and energetic subsidies to coral reef communities that affect the growth, abundance, and ecology of organisms across trophic levels. However, the cross‐scale oceanographic and atmospheric drivers of localized upwelling on many reefs remain unresolved, limiting our ability to predict how climate change might ...

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.

Differential response to abiotic stress controls species distributions at biogeographic transition zones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding range limits is critical to predicting species responses to climate change. Subtropical environments, where many species overlap at their range margins, are cooler, more light-limited and variable than tropical environments.

Depth partitioning of mesophotic reef fish communities on Pickle Bank seamount

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs)—reefs below 30m depth—represent distinct ecological communities that are under threat from local (e.g., fishing) and global (e.g., climate change) disturbances. However, most MCEs remain unexplored, and their ecological

High‐resolution coral oxygen and carbon isotope records reveal temperature and autotrophy dynamics in a Mediterranean climate change hotspot

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3261-3276, November 2025.
Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is warming at a rate exceeding the global average. Long‐term, high‐resolution data are essential for contextualizing changes within broader temporal scales, and coral skeletons provide valuable environmental archives, especially in data‐sparse regions or as supplements to existing records.

Ecophysiology of two mesophotic octocorals intended for restoration: Effects of light and temperature

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3309-3321, November 2025.
Abstract Light and temperature are driving forces that shape the evolution and physiology of mesophotic organisms. On the Mississippi‐Alabama continental shelf, octocorals dominate the mesophotic seascape and provide habitat for many fish and invertebrate species.

Remoteness Is Not a Silver Bullet for Mediating Local Human Stressors on Tropical Benthic Communities

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Tropical coral reefs are at the forefront of the current triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. While geographic remoteness is considered to shield reefs from local human pressures, and potentially aid in combating adverse climate change impacts, recent evidence from shallow reefs (0–30 m) to support ...

Emerging Network-Based Tools in Movement Ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
New technologies have vastly increased the available data on animal movement and behaviour. Consequently, new methods deciphering the spatial and temporal interactions between individuals and their environments are vital.

The effects of desiccation and salinity gradients in the photochemical efficiency of a mesophotic green alga, Ryuguphycus kuaweuweu (Ulvaceae) from Kagoshima, Japan

open access: yesPhycological Research, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 294-300, October 2025.
SUMMARY In mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) at depths of 30–40 m, the light environment is characterized by low intensity and limited spectral quality. However, due to minimal freshwater input, salinity remains relatively stable, and there are no tidal aerial exposures.
