Unveiling the Microeukaryotic Landscape of the Red Coral Corallium rubrum Across the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
This study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the

Black coral forests enhance taxonomic and functional distinctiveness of mesophotic fishes in an oceanic island: implications for biodiversity conservation

Scientific Reports, 2023
The degradation of shallow ecosystems has called for efforts to understand the biodiversity and functioning of Mesophotic Ecosystems. However, most empirical studies have been restricted to tropical regions and have majorly focused on taxonomic entities (

Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems of the Great Barrier Reef Are Understudied and Underexplored [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are characterized by the presence of photosynthetically active organisms such as corals and algae, and associated communities at depths ranging from 30 to 150 m in tropical and subtropical regions. Due to the increased awareness of the potential importance of these reefs as an integral part of coral reef ecosystems (i.

A well-kept treasure at depth: precious red coral rediscovered in Atlantic deep coral gardens (SW Portugal) after 300 years [PDF]

, 2016
The highly valuable red coral Corallium rubrum is listed in several Mediterranean Conventions for species protection and management since the 1980s. Yet, the lack of data about its Atlantic distribution has hindered its protection there.

Predicting the location and spatial extent of submerged coral reef habitat in the Great Barrier Reef world heritage area, Australia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
AIM: Coral reef communities occurring in deeper waters have received little research effort compared to their shallow-water counterparts, and even such basic information as their location and extent are currently unknown throughout most of the world ...

Mesophotic Ecosystems: The Link between Shallow and Deep-Sea Habitats

Diversity, 2020
Mesophotic ecosystems (MEs) are characterized by the presence of light-dependent organisms, found at depths ranging from ~30 to 150 m in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions.

A systematic review on the anthropogenic stressors on sessile benthic mesophotic reef communities: implications for temperate reef management in Australia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Temperate rocky reefs are complex habitats that support high levels of biodiversity and productivity. However, the sessile benthic communities attached to these reefs are vulnerable to climate change and local human impacts due to their limited capacity ...

Key Questions for Research and Conservation of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems and Temperate Mesophotic Ecosystems [PDF]

, 2019
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) and temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) have received increasing research attention during the last decade as many new and improved methods and technologies have become more accessible to explore deeper parts of the ocean.

Mesophotic coral ecosystems on the walls of Coral Sea atolls [PDF]

Coral Reefs, 2011
A research cruise was undertaken in October 2010 to explore potential mesophotic coral communities (30–150 m) in the recently established Coral Sea Conservation Zone (CSCZ). The CSCZ covers an area of almost one million square kilometres east of the Great Barrier Reef (Australia), with its reefs and atolls located hundreds of kilometres from the ...
