Subcellular assessment of algal carbon storage and chloroplasts across the microenvironmental landscape of a photosymbiotic coral Open
Light availability plays a central role in shaping the photophysiology and energy metabolism of photosymbiotic organisms such as reef-building corals. Although light varies greatly within coral colonies, the effects of this spatial heterog…
Depth-dependent microskeletal features modify light harvesting in Turbinaria reniformis corals Open
Coral skeletal morphology modulates light exposure in symbiotic algae, especially in light-limited environments like mesophotic reefs. However, quantifying light capture within complex coral structures remains challenging. Here, we used op…
Quantifying attributes of boring bivalve populations in corals using micro-computed tomography Open
Bioerosion plays a crucial factor in shaping the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems, with bioeroders actively altering both the physical and ecological dynamics of coral substrates. Despite their importance, studying internal …

Efficient light‐harvesting of mesophotic corals is facilitated by coral optical traits Open
Sustained light‐dependent coral reef communities can be found at a wide range of light environments, extending from the sea level to as deep as 150 m (i.e. esophotic). How mesophotic corals thrive despite extremely limited light conditions…
Characterization of morpho-functional traits in mesophotic corals reveals optimized light capture and photosynthesis Open
The morphology and skeleton architecture of photosynthetic corals modulates the light capture and functioning of the coral-algal symbiosis on shallow-water corals. Since corals can thrive on mesophotic reefs under extreme light-limited con…

Light-harvesting in mesophotic corals is powered by a spatially efficient photosymbiotic system between coral host and microalgae Open
Summary The coral-algal photosymbiosis fuels global coral-reef primary productivity, extending from sea level to as deep as 150 m (i.e., mesophotic). Currently, it is largely unknown how such mesophotic reefs thrive despite extremely limit…
Coral Morphology Portrays the Spatial Distribution and Population Size-Structure Along a 5–100 m Depth Gradient Open
Population size structure provides information on demographic characteristics, such as growth and decline, enabling post-hoc assessment of spatial differences in susceptibility to disturbance. Nevertheless, very few studies have quantified…
Light environment drives the shallow‐to‐mesophotic coral community transition Open
Light quality is a crucial physical factor driving coral distribution along depth gradients. Currently, a 30 m depth limit, based on SCUBA regulations, separates shallow and deep mesophotic coral ecosystems ( MCE s). This definition, howev…
