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

, 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.

Flow structures over mesophotic coral ecosystems in the eastern Gulf of Mexico

Continental Shelf Research, 2020
Abstract Simultaneous time series of current velocity profiles are used to characterize flow structures over intermediate-depth coral ecosystems in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Understanding of temporal variability and spatial coherence in flow is necessary to establish connectivity among these ecosystems.

Emerging Network-Based Tools in Movement Ecology [PDF]

, 2016
New technologies have vastly increased the available data on animal movement and behaviour. Consequently, new methods deciphering the spatial and temporal interactions between individuals and their environments are vital.

Limited Dispersal of Benthic Environmental DNA From a Subtropical Mesophotic Shelf‐Edge Bank

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
We investigated the vertical and horizontal dispersion of eDNA away from an isolated mesophotic coral reef (Bright Bank) in stratified offshore waters. We found that vertical transport of benthic eDNA was limited by water column stratification and that the prevalence of eDNA from benthic invertebrates declined with horizontal distance away from the ...

Large marine protected areas can encompass movements of diverse megafauna

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2454-2463, September 2025.
Our results provide clear evidence for the value of the large scale of the Chagos Archipelago very large marine protected area (VLMPA) for protection of taxonomically diverse mobile megafauna. Further, we highlight the value of the VLMPA approach as a strategy towards achieving 30% ocean protection by 2030.

Underwater Imagery Reveals Bryozoan Habitat in Western Port, South‐East Australia

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 9, September 2025.
Bryozoan habitats throughout the world and in Australia are rare, unique and fragile ecosystems at risk of anthropogenic disturbance. Here we describe new bryozoan habitats in Western Port, an Australian RAMSAR site near Melbourne, which do not feature in previous ecological descriptions and current habitat mapping available for the region.

Habitat availability and depth‐driven population demographics regulate reproductive output of a coral reef fish

Ecosphere, 2016
Global habitat decline may displace organisms from optimal environments, increasing reliance on ecosystems with lower habitat suitability and availability.

Habitat Characterization, Distribution, and Areal Extent of Deep-sea Coral Ecosystems off Florida, Southeastern U.S.A. [PDF]

, 2013
The deep-sea (200-1000 m) seafloor off the southeastern U.S. has a variety of extensive deep-sea coral ecosystem (DSCE) habitats including: deep-water coral mounds; various hard-bottom habitats off Florida including the Miami Terrace, Pourtales Terrace ...

Fish ecology of mesophotic coral ecosystems

, 2017
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; reefs 30-150 m depth) are largely unstudied. This thesis uses the shallow reef to MCE depth gradient around Utila, Honduras, to address research questions in three themes: (i) understanding fish community ecological processes on MCEs; (ii) evaluating effective survey techniques for MCE fish research; and (iii ...
