The function and stability of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have been extensively
studied in recent years. These deep reefs are characterized by local physical processes …

Although the existence of zooxanthellate corals in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs;
light-dependent coral ecosystems from 30 to 150 m in depth) has been known since the …

Population size structure provides information on demographic characteristics, such as
growth and decline, enabling post-hoc assessment of spatial differences in susceptibility to …

Macroalgae in mesophotic coral ecosystems are generally understudied compared to corals
and fishes yet may be more abundant than coral-dominated reefs given their lower depth …

Degradation and loss of coral reefs due to climate change and other anthropogenic
stressors has fueled genomics, proteomics, and genetics research to investigate coral stress …

Fishes are an important component of coral reef ecosystems, and in comparison to other
marine phyla, the taxonomy of fishes is relatively robust. Some of the earliest explorations of …

Recent investigations into the species diversity of red blades in Hawai 'i have yielded
several specimens of Kallymeniaceae from Hawaiian Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems. Our …

Two specimens of the crustose red algal genus Ramicrusta were collected off Lehua Island,
Hawai 'i, at 11 m and 49 m depth in September 2018, and are here described as new …

The mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) of the Senyavin Islands (Pohnpei Island, and
neighboring atolls Ant and Pakin) in the Federated States of Micronesia have received little …

The swift decline of coral reefs stands out as a significant biodiversity challenge confronting
our generation, and mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; reefs between 30 and 150 m) …
