Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems

2020
Mesophotic coral ecosystems have been studied for almost as long as researchers have studied shallow coral reefs. This may be surprising, given that the term mesophotic was coined as recently as 2008. At their shallowest, most agree, mesophotic reefs are found between depths of 30 and 40 m.

Mesophotic coral ecosystems in the Hawaiian Archipelago

Coral Reefs, 2010
Efforts to map coral reef ecosystems in the Hawaiian Archipelago using optical imagery have revealed the presence of numerous scleractinian, zoothanthellate coral reefs at depths of 30–130+ m, most of which were previously undiscovered. Such coral reefs and their associated communities have been recently defined as mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs ...

Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems

2019
[Extract] Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are unique tropical and subtropical ecosystems characterized as light-dependent reef communities typically found at depths ranging from 30 to 40 m and extending to over 150 m in clear waters. The dominant habitat-forming communities can be hard and soft corals, algae, and/or sponges.

Caribbean mesophotic coral ecosystems are unlikely climate change refugia

Global Change Biology, 2016
AbstractDeeper coral reefs experience reduced temperatures and light and are often shielded from localized anthropogenic stressors such as pollution and fishing. The deep reef refugia hypothesis posits that light‐dependent stony coral species at deeper depths are buffered from thermal stress and will avoid bleaching‐related mass mortalities caused by ...

Community ecology of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems

Coral Reefs, 2010
Given the global degradation of shallow-water coral reef ecosystems resulting from anthropogenic activities, mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (MCEs) are gaining attention because they are generally considered a de facto refuge for shallow-water species. Despite their inferred importance, MCEs remain one of the most understudied reef habitats, and basic
