Fluorescent proteins in dominant mesophotic reef-building corals [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2015
Reef-building corals inhabiting the mesophotic zone (30 150 m) not only survive but thrive in light-limiting environments. Similar to shallow corals, mesophotic corals also exhibit coral fluorescence. Because fluorescent proteins (FPs) absorb high-energy light and emit lower- energy light, FPs could play an important role in mesophotic coral physiology

Reproductive biology of the deep brooding coral Seriatopora hystrix: Implications for shallow reef recovery.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs, between 30 and 150 m depth) are hypothesized to contribute to the recovery of degraded shallow reefs through sexually produced larvae (referred to as Deep Reef Refuge Hypothesis).

Mesophotic rocks dominated by Diazona violacea: a Mediterranean codified habitat

The 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 Culturable Mycobiome of Mesophotic Agelas oroides: Constituents and Changes Following Sponge Transplantation to Shallow Water

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Marine sponges harbor a diverse array of microorganisms and the composition of the microbial community has been suggested to be linked to holo-biont health.

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

Molecular 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 ...

Rapid Decreases and Performance Declines in Northeast Pacific Seamount Foundation Species Detected in an Oxygen Minimum Zone

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
Across 12 long‐term monitoring sites on three Northeast Pacific seamounts, 163 of 844 cold‐water coral and sponge individuals were lost between surveys 3–5 years apart, with abundance declining at five sites and condition (i.e., health) declining at nine.

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

, 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 ...

Adapting the growth‐form concept to geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 512-532, April 2026.
Abstract Geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) are a diverse group of calcifying macroalgae, loosely united by flexible upright axes formed by alternating calcified (intergenicula) and uncalcified segments (genicula), a trait that has independently arisen several times.
