Validation of Image-Based Species Identifications of Black Corals (Order Antipatharia) on Mesophotic Rocks [PDF]

, 2016
Biodiversity, an important measure of ecosystem health, is challenging to ascertain using sampled specimens in remote deep-sea environments. As image-based identifications become a predominant method for deep-sea species characterizations, there is a ...

A Rare Benthic Ctenophore, Lyrocteis cf. imperatoris, at Mesophotic Depths off Réunion Island

Diversity
Closed-circuit rebreather diving has opened new opportunities for direct observation of the rich biodiversity of unexplored mesophotic coral ecosystems. We recently encountered four specimens of a rare benthic ctenophore genus, Lyrocteis.

A 1200-year record of parrotfish teeth suggests centuries of overfishing in Belize. [PDF]

, 2019
Humans have utilized the Mesoamerican Reef for millennia but the effects of prehistorical and historical fishing on this ecosystem remain understudied. To assess long-term trends in reef fish abundance in the central Belizean portion, we used three reef ...

Perspectives on the Great Amazon Reef: Extension, Biodiversity, and Threats

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Here we provide a broad overview of the Great Amazon Reef System (GARS) based on the first-ever video surveys of the region. This footage supports four major hypotheses: (1) the GARS area may be six times larger than previously suggested (up to 56,000 ...

Depth-Dependent Structuring of Reef Fish Assemblages From the Shallows to the Rariphotic Zone

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Shallow coral reef ecosystems worldwide are affected by local and global anthropogenic stressors. Exploring fish assemblages on deeper reefs is therefore important to examine their connectivity, and to help understand the biodiversity, ecology ...

Assessment of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystem Connectivity for Proposed Expansion of a Marine Sanctuary in the Northwest Gulf of Mexico: Population Genetics

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
While there are several areas containing shallow coral habitats in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), the availability of suitable reef habitat at mesophotic depths (~30–150 m) along the continental shelf margin suggests the potential for ecologically connected ...
