Ocean warming has severe impacts on coral reef ecosystems with frequent incidences of
coral bleaching. In addition, eutrophication poses an increasing threat to coral reef …

Mesophotic coral reefs, currently defined as deep reefs between 30 and 150 m, are linked
physically and biologically to their shallow water counterparts, have the potential to be …

Reef corals are mixotrophic organisms relying on symbiont-derived photoautotrophy and
water column heterotrophy. Coral endosymbionts (Family: Symbiodiniaceae), while typically …

Ultraviolet (UV) filters and preservatives, which are common constituents of sunscreens and
other cosmetics, are reported as a threat for coastal coral reef ecosystems; however, few …

Oceanographic processes shape coral reefs worldwide by redistributing inorganic nutrients
and particulate resources over depth. Deep‐water upwelling occurs frequently in coral reef …

Coral reef ecosystems are exceptionally complex with a myriad of trophic pathways and
consumer relationships. The application of stable isotopes (SIs) offers numerous …

Energy sources of corals, ultimately sunlight and plankton availability, change dramatically
from shallow to mesophotic (30–150 m) reefs. Depth-generalist corals, those that occupy …

Reef-building corals are increasingly threatened by global and regional stresses, which
affect the stability of the coral-Symbiodiniaceae association. Among them, plastic pollution …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) and temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) have
received increasing research attention during the last decade as many new and improved …

Introduction The northern Red Sea has been coined a refuge for reef corals due to the
exceptional thermal tolerance of these organisms. With ocean warming threatening coral …
