On the paradox of thriving cold‐water coral reefs in the food‐limited deep sea

SR Maier, S Brooke, LH De Clippele… - Biological …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The deep sea is amongst the most food‐limited habitats on Earth, as only a small fraction (<
4%) of the surface primary production is exported below 200 m water depth. Here, cold …

Extreme escalation of heat failure rates in ectotherms with global warming

LB Jørgensen, M Ørsted, H Malte, T Wang, J Overgaard - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
