🎉Congratulations 🎉(overdue) to Gonzalo Pérez-Rosales (PhD - Gonzalo Perez-Rosales) on being awarded a Hong Kong Research Grants Council (RGC) Postdoctoral Fellowship (2024-2027) to support our work exploring the drivers of #mesophotic #coral ecosystems in the #CoralTriangle 📷Markus Rummel

Ever wondered about the biodiversity on mesophotic reefs in Grand Cayman? Well wonder no more! Check out our new paper characterizing the reef community at 160ft! peerj.com/articles/17763/ #mesophotic #coral #reefs #coralreefs

Great talk of @tatopm2, UnivPM, at EMBS @embssymposium.bsky.social in Naples. It is urgent to design mesophotic zones Including MPAs as a mitigation tool for climate change. #MPAs #mesophotic

New paper! We usually think of #sediment getting finer as we move away from the shore. But when biogenic and oceanographic factors come into play in the #mesophotic zone, the patterns could be quite different. With Aaron Micallef, GEOMAR_en and Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

#DictionaryDay #Mesophotic (meh-zoh-foh'-tik) - adjective describing water depth, ~30-150 meters, where there is very #LowLight. From Greek words mesos (middle) & phōs (light). Most of NOAA's Flower Garden Banks Natl Marine Sanctuary consists of mesophotic habitat full of wonderful creatures! flowergarden.noaa.gov/about/mesophot…

🔥 Hot off the press! New paper: 'Shallow corals acclimate to mesophotic depths while maintaining their heat tolerance against ongoing climate change.' 🪸🌊 Discover how corals adapt to deeper waters while staying resilient to rising temps. 🌍✨#coral #climatechange #mesophotic

It was great presenting a poster for our new project on marine heatwaves and temperate mesophotic ecosystems at this year’s ASFB conference in Newcastle! If you missed it, it is still up at the end of the room! #asfb2024 #mesophotic #marineheatwaves

Social media brains trust! We are doing some ROV surveys on #mesophotic reefs across eastern Australia, should we be considering collecting eDNA samples at the same time?

This week we are on the stunning Lord Howe Island to engage with the community, test Integrated Marine Observing System Moana Sensors, scoping BRUV/ROV surveys, for a new climate change, marine heatwaves, #mesophotic reefs in Aus Marine Parks project thanks to Australian Marine Parks. Thanks LHI community!

Although the sanctuary is known for its shallow #Corals, they're not the only corals in town! Some coral species live in the #Mesophotic, or "middle light" zone. For #CoralsWeek, learn about efforts to restore deep corals and their habitat in the Gulf: flowergarden.noaa.gov/about/mdbc.html

Meet Plectranthias raki, a beautiful new perchlet from #mesophotic reefs in the Maldives. The name, raki, roughly means "shy" in the Dhivehi language, and we chose this name because these fish hide quickly when they see us! #ichthyology doi.org/10.3897/zookey…

NEAT! California Academy of Sciences has a model of the starfish I described, Astrosarkus idipi from 2004 in their #Mesophotic Gallery! TWICE! I described this genus/species when I worked there in the 90s-finished in grad school after. #echinoday

Take a look at the the variation in growth form of Mountainous Star Coral, reef-building coral on the shallower #coralreef (left) and in the #mesophotic coral ecosystem (right), with a plate-like form to increase light absorption at #EastFlowerGardenBank. flowergarden.noaa.gov/about/mesophot…

Finally dived on some #mesophotic reefs in Tasmania!! Nope it’s not the Great Barrier Reef! This is the deep section of the Great Southern Reef where light becomes limited and reef is dominated by corals, sponges, plentiful fish. Stay tuned for some more shots! Great Southern Reef Foundation
