Mesophotic coral ecosystems: introduction and overview
Although the existence of zooxanthellate corals in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs;
light-dependent coral ecosystems from 30 to 150 m in depth) has been known since the …

Beyond the “Deep Reef Refuge” hypothesis: a conceptual framework to characterize persistence at depth
The rapid deterioration of coral reefs worldwide has led to a growing interest in identifying
areas that can offer protection against adverse conditions including coral reef communities …

Reproductive and environmental traits explain the variation in egg size among Medusozoa (Cnidaria)
Medusozoa (Cnidaria) are characterized by diverse life cycles, with different semaphoronts
(medusa, medusoid, fixed gonophore, polyp) representing the sexual phase and carrying …

Multispecies environmental DNA metabarcoding sheds light on annual coral spawning events
Synchronous multispecific coral spawning generally occurs annually and forms an integral
part of the coral life cycle. Apart from spawning times and species participation, however …

Repeatable semantic reef-map** through photogrammetry and label-augmentation
In an endeavor to study natural systems at multiple spatial and taxonomic resolutions, there
is an urgent need for automated, high-throughput frameworks that can handle plethora of …

Symbiotic stony and soft corals: Is their host‐algae relationship really mutualistic at lower mesophotic reefs?
Abstract Mesophotic coral ecosystems (30–150 m depth) present a high oceanic
biodiversity, but remain one of the most understudied reef habitats, especially below 60 m …

Efficient light‐harvesting of mesophotic corals is facilitated by coral optical traits
Sustained light‐dependent coral reef communities can be found at a wide range of light
environments, extending from the sea level to as deep as 150 m (ie esophotic). How …

Depth-dependent parental effects create invisible barriers to coral dispersal
Historically, marine populations were considered to be interconnected across large
geographic regions due to the lack of apparent physical barriers to dispersal, coupled with a …
