Growth Characterization of Mesophotic Rhodoliths in the Northern Gulf of Mexico Using Radiocarbon Dating
… and geochemical analyses, rhodoliths from mesophotic depths have rarely been studied. Furthermore, boxwork rhodoliths have proved too structurally complex for age and growth rate assessment techniques such as stable oxygen isotopes profiling or elemental mapping. Therefore, we utilized …

Patterns and potential environmental drivers of mesophotic communities of the warm temperate shelf of the Amathole Region, South Africa
… platforms to explore the seabed. South African mesophotic ecosystems are under-sampled compared to both their shallower and deeper counterparts. The Amathole offshore region, considered as a transition zone between the Agulhas and Natal ecoregions, is a historically unexplored region of the …

BENTHIC HABITAT MAPPING OF MOUNTAIN TOP BANK WITHIN THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH INTEGRATED GEOPHYSICAL AND VISUAL DATA ANALYSIS
<p>Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are among the seafloor ecosystems that have been poorly studied throughout the world’s oceans, but they are a vital and diverse ecosystem that should be prioritized for future mapping and ecological studies. Priority should be given to them because they possess …

Deep coral forests from the Island of Sardinia
… and composition of coral forests dwelling in the mesophotic environment (from 50 to 200m depth) could be influenced by contrasting geological settings. Uni- and multivariate as well as multiple regression analyses were used to test for differences in alpha and beta biodiversity in roche du large …

Upper slope geomorphology of Sardinian southern continental margin, applications to habitat mapping supporting marine strategy
… sampling and detailed observation of specific mesophotic habitats with noninvasive protocols, which are particularly relevant for habitats of conservation interest. Marine habitat mapping represents the best estimation of the distribution of habitats in a place and at a particular time, this …
