Theme section on “Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems: Characterization, Ecology, and Management” [PDF]
Coral Reefs, 2010 Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are characterized by the presence of light-dependent corals and associated communities that are typically found at depths ranging from 30 to 40 m and extending to over 150 m in tropical and subtropical regions. The dominant communities providing structural habitat in the mesophotic zone can be comprised of coral ...

Diversity, 2022 Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs: ~30 to 100+ m depth) may be older and more stable than shallow coral ecosystems that are more prone to disturbances in both the long term (glacial sea level cycles) and short term (heavy weather and anthropogenic activities).

Predicting the Distribution of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in the Chagos Archipelago. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACTTo support conservation efforts, accurate mapping of marine organism community’ distribution has become more critical than ever before. While previous mapping endeavours have primarily focused on easily accessible shallow‐water habitats, there remains limited knowledge about the ecosystems lying beyond SCUBA diving depths, such as mesophotic ...

The future of coral reefs subject to rapid climate change: Lessons from natural extreme environments [PDF]
, 2018 Global climate change and localized anthropogenic stressors are driving rapid declines in coral reef health. In vitro experiments have been fundamental in providing insight into how reef organisms will potentially respond to future climates.

The sponge holobiont in a changing ocean: from microbes to ecosystems [PDF]
, 2018 The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now considered holobionts, complex ecosystems consisting of the host, the microbiota ...

Marine reserves can mitigate and promote adaptation to climate change [PDF]
, 2017 Strong decreases in greenhouse gas emissions are required to meet the reduction trajectory resolved within the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, even these decreases will not avert serious stress and damage to life on Earth, and additional steps are needed ...

The Silurian mesophotic coral ecosystems: 430 million years of photosymbiosis [PDF]
Coral Reefs, 2018 The Silurian Period witnessed one of the most profound intervals of reef development in the history of the Earth, formed in large part by tabulate and rugose corals and stromatoporoid assemblages. One of the best-known examples of Silurian reefs (bioherms) is those exposed on the Baltic island of Gotland (Sweden). The stratigraphic sequence below these
