Abstract: Coral bleaching, as one of the major threats to the well-being of coral reefs worldwide, has been extensively studied. However, corals from mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), found at 30 to 150 m depth and considered as… read more here.

Abstract: As coral populations on shallow reefs decline globally, mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCE) have been proposed as potential coral refugia from thermal, storm, and anthropogenic disturbances in the face of climate change. The current study assesses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2021.101843
Abstract: Abstract The morphological, phenological and ecological characteristics of shallow coral reefs have been widely studied, but only recently have mesophotic corals begun to be studied. Very little is known about these ecosystems and their associated… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2017.00155
Abstract: Coral reefs worldwide are facing increasing stress due to drastic changes in their environment. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have been considered as a potential refuge from several major stressors, such as warm-water bleaching events. However,… read more here.
