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 ...

Depth specialization in mesophotic corals (Leptoseris spp.) and associated algal symbionts in Hawai'i [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
Corals at the lower limits of mesophotic habitats are likely to have unique photosynthetic adaptations that allow them to persist and dominate in these extreme low light ecosystems.

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.

Light and photoacclimatization drive distinct differences between shallow and mesophotic coral communities

Ecosphere, 2022
The ecological distribution of coral species from shallow to mesophotic reefs is dependent on light, which varies drastically among local environments.

Polyphyly and hidden species among Hawaiʻi’s dominant mesophotic coral genera, Leptoseris and Pavona (Scleractinia: Agariciidae) [PDF]

, 2013
Widespread polyphyly in stony corals (order Scleractinia) has prompted efforts to revise their systematics through approaches that integrate molecular and micromorphological evidence. To date, these approaches have not been comprehensively applied to the

Deep thinking: a systematic review of mesophotic coral ecosystems [PDF]

ICES Journal of Marine Science, 2017
Abstract Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) occur at depths beyond those typically associated with coral reefs. Significant logistical challenges associated with data collection in deep water have resulted in a limited understanding of the ecological relevance of these deeper coral ecosystems.

High Meiofaunal and Nematodes Diversity around Mesophotic Coral Oases in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

, 2013
Although the mesophotic zone of the Mediterranean Sea has been poorly investigated, there is an increasing awareness about its ecological importance for its biodiversity, as fish nursery and for the recruitment of shallow water species.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dendrophyllia minuscula (Cnidaria: Scleractinia) from the NEOM region of the Northern Red Sea

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022
The scleractinian coral family Dendrophylliidae is a major component of shallow and deep-water coral ecosystems worldwide, but our knowledge on the evolutionary history of the family remains scarce.
