Deep reefs are not refugium for shallow‐water fish communities in the southwestern Atlantic
The taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic diversity of shallow‐water reef fish communities is not fully encapsulated in deep reefs. Every reef contributes significantly to the regional fish diversity. Deep and shallow reefs complement each other and must be managed and protected accordingly.

Drivers of reef fish assemblages in an upwelling region from the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean
Abstract Reef fish assemblages are exposed to a wide range of anthropogenic threats as well as chronic natural disturbances. In upwelling regions, for example, there is a seasonal influx of cool nutrient‐rich waters that may shape the structure and composition of reef fish assemblages.
