Coral‐bleaching responses to climate change across biological scales
The global impacts of climate change are evident in every marine ecosystem. On coral reefs,
mass coral bleaching and mortality have emerged as ubiquitous responses to ocean …

Coral distribution and bleaching vulnerability areas in Southwestern Atlantic under ocean warming
Global climate change is a major threat to reefs by increasing the frequency and severity of
coral bleaching events over time, reducing coral cover and diversity. Ocean warming may …

Why do mesophotic coral ecosystems have to be protected?
M de Oliveira Soares, JT de Araújo… - Science of the Total …, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs;~ 30–150 m depth) are among the most
biologically diverse and least protected ecosystems in the world's oceans. However …

Light limitation selects for depth generalists in urbanised reef coral communities
Depth range is an important species trait for coral reef organisms, yet it remains to be
quantified and analysed adequately among tropical coral species. Filling this knowledge …

The rarity of depth refugia from coral bleaching heat stress in the western and central Pacific Islands
Some researchers have suggested that corals living in deeper reefs may escape heat stress
experienced by shallow corals. We evaluated the potential of deep coral reef refugia from …

Increased fish diversity over day and night in structurally complex habitats of artificial reefs
A major goal of ecology is to understand how spatial heterogeneity determines patterns of
species diversity and composition. Studies have demonstrated positive relationship between …
