Physical Connectivity Between Mesophotic Areas in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Understanding connectivity patterns is crucial for marine planning, particularly in the design of marine protected areas or restoration plans. In this study, we assess the potential physical connectivity between mesophotic areas in the northern Gulf of Mexico and investigate the dynamical features influencing such connectivity using a physical

Diversity and function of fluorescent molecules in marine animals
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1391-1410, August 2024.ABSTRACT Fluorescence in marine animals has mainly been studied in Cnidaria but is found in many different phyla such as Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca, and Chordata. While many fluorescent proteins and molecules have been identified, very little information is available about the biological functions of fluorescence.

Review on hard coral recruitment (Cnidaria: Scleractinia) in Colombia [PDF]
, 2011 Recruitment, defined and measured as the incorporation of new individuals (i.e. coral juveniles) into a population, is a fundamental process for ecologists, evolutionists and conservationists due to its direct effect on population structure and function.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 8, August 2024.Abstract Aim Predicting and acting on the future of ecosystems requires understanding species distribution shifts due to climate change. We investigated which corals are more likely to shift their distribution in the Southwestern Atlantic under a warming scenario. Location Southwestern Atlantic (SWA; 1° N–28° S).

Triggers, cascades, and endpoints: connecting the dots of coral bleaching mechanisms
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 715-752, June 2024.ABSTRACT The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of the symbiosis and the loss of the microalgal symbiont (i.e.
