Fine-scale heterogeneity reveals disproportionate thermal stress and coral mortality in thermally variable reef habitats during a marine heatwave
Increasing ocean temperatures threaten coral reefs globally, but corals residing in habitats
that experience high thermal variability are thought to be better adapted to survive climate …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems of French Polynesia are hotspots of alpha and beta generic diversity for scleractinian assemblages
Aim Revealing how diversity varies across the depth gradient is key for understanding the
role of mesophotic coral ecosystems in the functioning of coral reefs. We quantitatively …

Fine-scale time series surveys reveal new insights into spatio-temporal trends in coral cover (2002–2018), of a coral reef on the Southern Great Barrier Reef
Reef monitoring programmes often focus on limited sites, predominantly on reef slope areas,
which do not capture compositional variability across zones. This study assessed spatial …

Mesophotic depths hide high coral cover communities in French Polynesia
The rapid decline of shallow coral reefs has increased the interest in the long-understudied
mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs). However, MCEs are usually characterised by rather …
