Abstract In the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs) are
limited by oceanographic conditions and are thought to be mostly absent. However …

The importance of some ecosystems remains poorly understood. We showed that
mesophotic ecosystems (30 to 150 m) are a key habitat for a critically endangered species …

Abstract The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) World Heritage Area and adjacent Coral Sea Marine
Park are under serious threat from global climate change. This study used Daily Optimally …

Mesophotic reefs, defined as reefs between 30 m and 150 m, have been less investigated
than their shallower counterparts. Yet, more protected from human activities and bleaching …

Mesophotic marine ecosystems are characterized by lower light penetration supporting
specialized fish fauna. Due to their depths (− 30–− 150 m), accessibility is challenging, and …

While recent technical breakthroughs have enabled advances in the description of reefs
down to 150 m, the structure and depth zonation of deep-reef communities below 150 m …

Mesophotic corals live at~ 30-150 m depth and can sustain metabolic processes under light-
limited conditions by enhancing autotrophy through specialized photoadaptations or …

Taiwan's shallow coral reef habitats (0–30 m) and their scleractinian fauna are well-studied
but its mesophotic zone (30–90 m) remains underexamined. This study documents …

Coral reef conservation management depends on long‐term monitoring efforts for a sound
understanding of ecosystem structuring, functioning, and dynamics. However, ongoing …

Contemporary climate change has brought to light the extent and pace at which ecosystems
can be altered by anthropogenic pressures. With this observation comes an urge to predict …
