[HTML][HTML] The effects of shade and light on corals in the context of coral bleaching and shading technologies
The current coral reefs crisis is motivating a number of innovative projects attempting to
leverage new mechanisms to avoid coral bleaching, reduce coral mortality and restore …

Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems in the Eastern Tropical Pacific: The current state of knowledge and the spatial variability of their depth boundaries
MÁ Pérez-Castro, N Schubert, GAM De Oca… - Science of the Total …, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract In the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems (MCEs) are
limited by oceanographic conditions and are thought to be mostly absent. However …

Coral morphology portrays the spatial distribution and population size-structure along a 5–100 m depth gradient
Population size structure provides information on demographic characteristics, such as
growth and decline, enabling post-hoc assessment of spatial differences in susceptibility to …

A generalized light‐driven model of community transitions along coral reef depth gradients
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 …

Green fluorescent protein-like pigments optimise the internal light environment in symbiotic reef-building corals
Pigments homologous to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) have been proposed to fine-
tune the internal light microclimate of corals, facilitating photoacclimation of photosynthetic …

Symbiotic stony and soft corals: Is their host‐algae relationship really mutualistic at lower mesophotic reefs?
C Ferrier‐Pagès, V Bednarz, R Grover… - Limnology and …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Drawing the borders of the mesophotic zone of the Mediterranean Sea using satellite data
The 30–150 m bathymetric range is commonly adopted in the literature to constrain the
mesophotic zone. However, such depth interval varies depending on sunlight penetration …
