Mesophotic Reefs of the Largest Brazilian Coastal Protected Area: Mapping, Characterization and Biodiversity

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
Mesophotic reefs are poorly known worldwide despite their great ecological relevance and management importance for coral reef conservation strategies. To aid in filling this gap, we conducted a pioneering, large-scale survey, covering a total of around ...

Climate change impacts to upwelling and shallow reef nutrient sources across an oceanic archipelago

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3127-3142, November 2025.
Abstract Upwelling delivers key nutritional and energetic subsidies to coral reef communities that affect the growth, abundance, and ecology of organisms across trophic levels. However, the cross‐scale oceanographic and atmospheric drivers of localized upwelling on many reefs remain unresolved, limiting our ability to predict how climate change might ...

Characterization of Shark Movements on a Mesophotic Caribbean Coral Reef and Temporal Association with Fish Spawning Aggregations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Habitat use of mesophotic coral reefs by sharks is largely unknown. However, it is well established that mesophotic reefs are the site of spawning aggregations for many species of teleost fish.

High‐resolution coral oxygen and carbon isotope records reveal temperature and autotrophy dynamics in a Mediterranean climate change hotspot

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3261-3276, November 2025.
Abstract The Mediterranean Sea is warming at a rate exceeding the global average. Long‐term, high‐resolution data are essential for contextualizing changes within broader temporal scales, and coral skeletons provide valuable environmental archives, especially in data‐sparse regions or as supplements to existing records.

Mapping Ecological Units in Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems of San Andrés Island (Southwestern Caribbean)

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
To map ecological units in mesophotic coral ecosystems on the western side of San Andrés Island (Colombia) considering biotic components and geomorphic zonation among 30–140 m deep, 27 video transects were done using an ROV. In total, 14 h of video were recorded and 5742 still images were extracted from them, from which 753 met quality criteria for ...

Ecophysiology of two mesophotic octocorals intended for restoration: Effects of light and temperature

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 11, Page 3309-3321, November 2025.
Abstract Light and temperature are driving forces that shape the evolution and physiology of mesophotic organisms. On the Mississippi‐Alabama continental shelf, octocorals dominate the mesophotic seascape and provide habitat for many fish and invertebrate species.
