Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study compares baited remote underwater videos (BRUV) and a rapid timed long swim (LS) UVC method to evaluate their ability in assessing relative abundance and diversity of large predatory reef fish from nine selected families. BRUVs were more effective in detecting mobile and bait‐attracted taxa such as Carangidae and recorded up to 28 unique ...

Structure of Mesophotic Reef Fish Assemblages in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
PLoS ONE, 2016 Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) support diverse communities of marine organisms with changes in community structure occurring along a depth gradient. In recent years, MCEs have gained attention due to their depths that provide protection from natural ...

Marine Heatwaves Have Increased in Frequency, Duration, and Depth Across Southeast Asia
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Southeast Asia supports high marine biodiversity that is increasingly exposed to intensifying marine heatwaves (MHWs). Despite the ecological and socio‐economic consequences of thermal anomalies, the regional spatio‐temporal dynamics and vertical structure of MHWs remain poorly constrained. Here, we use satellite‐derived surface and reanalysis

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.COVER PHOTO: Red gorgonians (Paramuricea clavata) and black corals (Antipathella subpinnata) form dense animal forests on mesophotic reefs (40–100 m) of the Aegean Sea. The diversity and distinctiveness of fish communities found in these mesophotic animal forests were investigated through visual census and collection of cryptic species by rebreather ...

An underwater imagery identification guide for shallow, mesophotic and deep-sea benthos in Maldives [PDF]
Biodiversity Data JournalDuring the 2022 Nekton Maldives Mission, we deployed a variety of platforms (snorkelling, remotely-operated vehicles and manned submersibles) to conduct video surveys of the biodiversity and composition of shallow (< 30 m), mesophotic (30-150 m ...

ZooKeys, 2014 Hydrachnidia) from the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico are presented. Litarachna lopezae sp. n., from substrata collected from Bajo de Sico, a mesophotic coral reef ecosystem in Mona Passage off Puerto Rico, is described as new to science. The new species was collected from nearly 70 m depth, the greatest depth from which pontarachnid mites have been ...

A Rare Benthic Ctenophore, Lyrocteis cf. imperatoris, at Mesophotic Depths off Réunion Island
DiversityClosed-circuit rebreather diving has opened new opportunities for direct observation of the rich biodiversity of unexplored mesophotic coral ecosystems. We recently encountered four specimens of a rare benthic ctenophore genus, Lyrocteis.
