Mesophotic and Bathyal Echinoderms of the Italian Seas

Diversity
Echinoderms are among the most charismatic megabenthic taxa in mesophotic and deep waters. However, they generally have a scattered distribution and are difficult to collect, especially on hardgrounds, so defining their abundance, distribution and ecological preferences is challenging.

Sponge abundance and diversity patterns in the shallow and mesophotic reefs of the northern Red Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Accumulating data on the increasing degradation of coral reefs worldwide has led to a focus on the unique mesophotic coral ecosystem (MCE) as a potential refuge for threatened shallow-water species (i.e., the deep reef refugia hypothesis: DRRH).

Screening by coral green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like chromoproteins supports a role in photoprotection of zooxanthellae

, 2013
Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments are responsible for the vivid colouration of many reef-building corals and have been proposed to act as photoprotectants.

Consistent Symbiodiniaceae community assemblage in a mesophotic-specialist coral along the Saudi Arabian Red Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
The Red Sea is a narrow rift basin characterized by latitudinal environmental gradients which shape the diversity and distribution of reef-dwelling organisms.

Fishers’ Local Ecological Knowledge of vulnerable marine ecosystems indicator species on the Portuguese continental shelf and upper slope

Ecosystems and People
Cold-water corals and sponges form structurally complex habitats, classified as Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) that serve as refuge and feeding grounds for many marine species.

Comment on Lesser et al. Using Stable Isotope Analyses to Assess the Trophic Ecology of Scleractinian Corals. Oceans 2022, 3, 527–546

Oceans
In warm oligotrophic waters, photosymbiotic coral can flourish across a wide depth range (0–170+ m), extending to depths where light attenuates to ~0.1% of surface values.

Biological Effects of Dispersants and Dispersed Oil in Surface and Deep Ocean Species [PDF]

, 2011
Beginning with the use of industrial-strength detergents, dispersing agents have been employed in spill response for decades. The Corexit series of agents in common use today generally consist of non-ionic and/or anionic surfactants in a solvent base ...
