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 …

Marine sponges are able to process a variety of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P),
and silicon (Si) dissolved compounds, in addition to the particulate C, N, and P obtained …

Shallow warm-water and deep-sea cold-water corals engineer the coral reef framework and
fertilize reef communities by releasing coral mucus, a source of reef dissolved organic matter …

There has been an exponential increase in coral mucus research over the last 5years,
attracting attention from coral biologists and reef ecologists. The most active area has been …

Symbiotic relationships between corals and their associated micro‐organisms are essential
to maintain host homeostasis. Coral‐associated bacteria (CAB) can have different beneficial …

The capture efficiency and feeding behaviour of the cold-water coral (CWC) Lophelia
pertusa (Linnaeus, 1758) were investigated considering:(1) different food types,(2) different …

Mounding corals survive bleaching events in greater numbers than branching corals.
However, no study to date has determined the underlying physiological and biogeochemical …

Annual coral bleaching events due to increasing sea surface temperatures are predicted to
occur globally by the mid-century and as early as 2025 in the Caribbean, and severely …

The ability of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa to exploit different food sources was
investigated under standardized conditions in a flume. The tested food sources, dissolved …

Global environmental changes, including ocean acidification, have been identified as a
major threat to scleractinian corals. General predictions are that ocean acidification will be …
