The sponge holobiont in a changing ocean: from microbes to ecosystems [PDF]

, 2018
The recognition that all macroorganisms live in symbiotic association with microbial communities has opened up a new field in biology. Animals, plants, and algae are now considered holobionts, complex ecosystems consisting of the host, the microbiota ...

Mesophotic animal forests of the Aegean Sea support fish diversity hotspots under high fishing pressure

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are dense aggregations of habitat‐forming species that constitute essential habitats for diverse taxa including fish. However, the study of MAFs and their associated fauna remains largely skewed to their shallowest occurrence, above 30 m depth.

Projected Risks to Biodiversity Conservation Along Brazil's Equatorial Margin Under Expanding Offshore Oil Development

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil's Equatorial Margin is one of the least studied yet most ecologically significant regions of the Atlantic Ocean. Encompassing the Amazon coast, the region is entering a new phase of industrial expansion. In 2025, Brazil issued its first offshore oil exploration license in two decades, opening the door to large‐scale hydrocarbon ...

Deep reefs are not refugium for shallow‐water fish communities in the southwestern Atlantic

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The deep reef refugia hypothesis (DRRH) predicts that deep reef ecosystems may act as refugium for the biota of disturbed shallow waters. Because deep reefs are among the most understudied habitats on Earth, formal tests of the DRRH remain scarce. If the

Marine reserves can mitigate and promote adaptation to climate change [PDF]

, 2017
Strong decreases in greenhouse gas emissions are required to meet the reduction trajectory resolved within the 2015 Paris Agreement. However, even these decreases will not avert serious stress and damage to life on Earth, and additional steps are needed ...

Global Analysis of Shallow Underwater Fish Observation Research: 70 Years of Progress, Persistent Geographic Biases and a Path Forward

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 607-626, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by overfishing, pollution, coastal development and climate change, underscoring the need for long‐term, representative information on key fish populations and habitats to inform management and policy.

Assessment of Mesophotic Coral Ecosystem Connectivity for Proposed Expansion of a Marine Sanctuary in the Northwest Gulf of Mexico: Larval Dynamics

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
In coral reef ecosystems, mesophotic coral habitat (>30 m to the end of the photic zone) are extensions of shallow reefs and contribute to the persistence of coral reef populations.

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

Diversity, 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.

Interacting Effects of Sea‐Level Rise and Ocean Warming Reshape Thermal Environments on a Coral Reef

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Sea‐level rise (SLR) alters nearshore hydrodynamics, yet its influence on coral reef thermal regimes under climate‐driven ocean warming remains poorly quantified. Using a fully coupled hydrodynamic–wave model validated at Palmyra Atoll, we isolate how SLR modifies temperature variability during a projected 2050 marine heatwave.
