Pigments homologous to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) have been proposed to fine-
tune the internal light microclimate of corals, facilitating photoacclimation of photosynthetic …

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 …

The morphological architecture of photosynthetic corals modulates the light capture and
functioning of the coral-algal symbiosis on shallow-water corals. Since corals can thrive on …

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 …

Clonal organisms like reef building corals exhibit a wide variety of colony morphologies and
geometric shapes which can have many physiological and ecological implications. Colony …

In mesophotic coral ecosystems, reef-building corals and their photosynthetic symbionts can
survive with less than 1% of surface irradiance. How depth-specialist corals rely upon …

Abstract Photosymbiotic corals inhabit depths 0–170+ m and form the foundation of coral
reef ecosystems by creating complex habitats with their calcium carbonate skeletons. While …

Antecedent topography such as relic reef terraces as well as biogenic carbonate relief-
forming deposits~ 30–150 m deep, referred to as mesophotic reefs, provide structural …

Populations of Acropora cervicornis, one of the most important reef-building corals in the
Caribbean, have been declining due to human activities and global climate change. This …

The coral-algal photosymbiosis fuels global coral-reef primary productivity, extending from
sea level to as deep as 150 m (ie, mesophotic). Currently, it is largely unknown how such …
