Spatial patterns and drivers of benthic community structure on the northern Adriatic biogenic reefs
The northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) hosts numerous biogenic subtidal reefs that are considered biodiversity hotspots. Several studies have already...

Norwegian Coral Reefs
Cold-water corals (CWC) in Norwegian waters have been known for more than two centuries, but direct studies of CWC reefs were first enabled with the...

Stable carbon and oxygen isotopes indicate photophysiology and calcification mechanisms of macroalgae on Little Cayman Island reefs
Tropical macroalgae serve importance ecological roles on coral reefs but can supplant corals in phase shifts as shown worldwide. Thus, it is...

Studying functions on coral reefs: past perspectives, current conundrums, and future potential
Function-based studies have opened a new chapter in our understanding of coral reefs. Unfortunately, we are opening this chapter as the world’s reefs...

Invertebrate sounds from photic to mesophotic coral reefs reveal vertical stratification and diel diversity
Although mesophotic coral ecosystems account for approximately 80% of coral reefs, they remain largely unexplored due to their challenging...

Nutrient dynamics, carbon storage and community composition on artificial and natural reefs in Bali, Indonesia
Artificial reefs are now commonly used as a tool to restore degraded coral reefs and have a proven potential to enhance biodiversity. Despite this,...

Distinct emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds from temperate benthic taxa
IntroductionBiogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are emitted by all organisms as intermediate or end-products of metabolic processes....

Exploring benthic habitat assessments on coral reefs: a comparison of direct field measurements versus remote sensing
Coral reefs are spatially variable ecosystems that form biogenic structures ranging in size from 10 to 1000s of meters. Their changes in response to...

High spatial resolution photo mosaicking for the monitoring of coralligenous reefs
Coralligenous reefs are characterized by large bathymetric and spatial distribution, as well as heterogeneity; in shallow environments, they develop...
-
High diversity, abundance and distinct fish assemblages on submerged coral reef pinnacles compared to shallow emergent reefs
Coral reefs exhibit consistent patterns in biodiversity across multiple spatial scales, from local to global clines in species richness, abundance...
