Low connectivity between shallow, mesophotic and rariphotic zone benthos

Low connectivity between shallow, mesophotic and rariphotic zone benthos

Worldwide coral reefs face catastrophic damage due to a series of anthropogenic stressors. Investigating how coral reefs ecosystems are connected, in particular across depth, will help us understand if deeper reefs harbour distinct communities. Here, we explore changes in benthic community structure...
