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 ...

This study uses modeling techniques to predict the characteristics of deep‐water coral communities under climate scenarios. It reveals that climate change will drive shifts of many deep‐water corals to deeper waters, leading to major changes in biodiversity and ecosystem functions of deep‐water coral communities.
