Levels of autotrophy and heterotrophy in mesophotic corals near the end photic zone

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Mesophotic corals live at ~30-150 m depth and can sustain metabolic processes under light-limited conditions by enhancing autotrophy through specialized photoadaptations or increasing heterotrophic nutrient acquisition.

A well-kept treasure at depth: precious red coral rediscovered in Atlantic deep coral gardens (SW Portugal) after 300 years [PDF]

, 2016
The highly valuable red coral Corallium rubrum is listed in several Mediterranean Conventions for species protection and management since the 1980s. Yet, the lack of data about its Atlantic distribution has hindered its protection there.

Growth and feeding in the sponge Agelas tubulata from shallow to mesophotic depths on Grand Cayman Island

Ecosphere, 2021
On Caribbean coral reefs, sponges are important members of the benthic community and play multiple roles in ecosystem structure and function. They have an important role in benthic‐pelagic coupling, consuming particulate organic matter (POM) and ...

Seriatopora Diversity Preserved in Upper Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in Southern Japan [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Coral reefs worldwide are facing increasing stress due to drastic changes in their environment. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have been considered as a potential refuge from several major stressors, such as warm-water bleaching events. However, their role as a subsequent source of larvae remains unclear for many species, particularly as genetic ...

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

In situ Estimation of Coral Recruitment Patterns From Shallow to Mesophotic Reefs Using an Optimized Fluorescence Imaging System

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral recruitment represents a key element for coral reef persistence and resilience in the face of environmental disturbances. Studying coral recruitment patterns is fundamental for assessing reef health and implementing appropriate management ...
