Coral reef ecosystems thrive in tropical oligotrophic oceans because of the relationship
between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae called Symbiodinium …

There is a need to develop water quality thresholds for dredging near coral reefs that can
relate physical pressures to biological responses and define exposure conditions above …

The attenuation of light with increasing depth, along with reduced exposure to wave stress,
plays an important role in vertically structuring coral reef communities. Benthic …

Mesophotic coral reefs, currently defined as deep reefs between 30 and 150 m, are linked
physically and biologically to their shallow water counterparts, have the potential to be …

Reef corals are mixotrophic organisms relying on symbiont-derived photoautotrophy and
water column heterotrophy. Coral endosymbionts (Family: Symbiodiniaceae), while typically …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) occur at depths beyond those typically associated
with coral reefs. Significant logistical challenges associated with data collection in deep …

Despite 22% of the world's coastal regions experiencing some degree of light pollution, and
biologically important artificial light at night (ALAN) reaching large portions of the seafloor …

Coral aquaculture is an activity of growing interest due to the degradation of coral reefs
worldwide and concomitant growing demand for corals by three industries: marine …

It is well known that coral thermal bleaching is mainly caused by abnormally high
temperatures, but the spatial/intergeneric variation in coral‐algal symbiosis and its linkage to …

Dredging increases suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs), causing elevated water
turbidity (cloudiness) and light attenuation. Close to dredging, low light periods can extend …
