Holobiont Diversity in a Reef-Building Coral over Its Entire Depth Range in the Mesophotic Zone

Holobiont Diversity in a Reef-Building Coral over Its Entire Depth Range in the Mesophotic Zone

Mesophotic reef-building coral communities (~30–120 m depth) remain largely unexplored, despite representing roughly three-quarters of the overall depth range at which tropical coral reef ecosystems occur. Although many coral species are restricted to shallow depths, several species occur across lar...
