Systematic review, meta‐analysis and other forms of evidence synthesis are critical to
strengthen the evidence base concerning conservation issues and to answer ecological and …

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 …

The internal validity of conclusions about effectiveness or impact in systematic reviews, and
of decisions based on them, depends on risk of bias assessments being conducted …

Light quality is a crucial physical factor driving coral distribution along depth gradients.
Currently, a 30 m depth limit, based on SCUBA regulations, separates shallow and deep …

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 …

Aim Coral reefs shift between distinct communities with depth throughout the world. Yet,
despite over half a century of research on coral reef depth gradients, researchers have not …

Climate change and consequent coral bleaching are causing the disappearance of reef-
building corals worldwide. While bleaching episodes significantly impact shallow waters …

Abstract Aim Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are unique communities that support a
high proportion of depth‐endemic species distinct from shallow‐water coral reefs. However …

Temperate rocky reefs are complex habitats that support high levels of biodiversity and
productivity. However, the sessile benthic communities attached to these reefs are …

Shallow coral reef ecosystems worldwide are affected by local and global anthropogenic
stressors. Exploring fish assemblages on deeper reefs is therefore important to examine …
