Abstract: Scleractinian corals have global ecological, structural, social, and economic importance that is disproportionately large relative to their areal extent. These reef building corals form the architectural framework for shallow water tropical reef systems, supporting the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2020.566663
Abstract: 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 both of these two distinct ecosystems, are adapted to cope with such… read more here.
