Sexual Reproduction of Scleractinian Corals in Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems vs. Shallow Reefs

2019
Corals utilize sex-derived diversity to adapt to environmental changes and to occupy new ecological niches. With major declines in coral reefs worldwide and calls for ecosystem-based management, understanding how environmental gradients affect coral reproductive performance over a species’ range and within a demographically relevant timescale is ...

Fishes associated with mesophotic coral ecosystems in La Parguera, Puerto Rico

Coral Reefs, 2014
Fishes associated with mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) of the La Parguera shelf-edge were surveyed between 2007 and 2011 using mixed-gas rebreather diving. Fishes were identified and counted within belt transects and roving surveys at 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 m depth.

Sediment dynamics and their potential influence on insular-slope mesophotic coral ecosystems

Continental Shelf Research, 2016
Abstract Although sediment dynamics exert a fundamental control on the character and distribution of reefs, data on sediment dynamics in mesophotic systems are scarce. In this study, sediment traps and benthic photo-transects were used to document spatial and temporal patterns of suspended-sediment and bed-load dynamics at two geomorphically distinct

Mesophotic coral ecosystems research strategy: international workshop to prioritize research and management needs for mesophotic coral ecosystems, Jupiter, Florida, 12-15 July 2008

2021
On July 12-15, 2008, researchers and resource managers met in Jupiter, Florida to discuss and review the state of knowledge regarding mesophotic coral ecosystems, develop a working definition for these ecosystems, identify critical resource management information needs, and develop a Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems Research Strategy to assist the U.S ...
