Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Tropical coral reefs are at the forefront of the current triple planetary crisis of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. While geographic remoteness is considered to shield reefs from local human pressures, and potentially aid in combating adverse climate change impacts, recent evidence from shallow reefs (0–30 m) to support ...

Global Cold‐Water Coral Biodiversity Redistribution Under Projected Climate Change
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.Cold‐water corals are key habitat providers in the world's oceans, yet their global distribution, diversity patterns, and vulnerability to climate change remain poorly understood. Our study mapped the global distribution of 741 cold‐water coral species and showed that while the overall coral biome may persist in the future, many species will shift ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), occurring between 30 and 150 m depth, are increasingly recognized for their ecological importance, yet they remain underexplored, particularly in the southwestern Indian Ocean. During benthic surveys conducted at depths ranging from 15 to 75 m off northwestern Reunion Island, we documented a dense and ...
