Community ecology of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (2010, background): “Along the northwestern coast of the Red Sea, the shallowwater coral reef ends at *65 m and is replaced by a wide sandy plain, which ends abruptly at 90–100 m where the slope increases (to 13 ) and rocky terraces protrude from the sand.”
Ecology of mesophotic coral reefs (2009, background): “Despite these changes, and with decreases in energetic costs measured as a decrease in respiration, rates of photosynthesis and calcification still declined significantly with increasing depth (Mass et al., 2007).”
Connectivity and stability of mesophotic coral reefs (2011, background): “Despite these changes, and with decreases in energetic costs measured as a decrease in respiration, rates of photosynthesis and calcification declined significantly with increasing depth (Mass et al., 2007).”
Grazing pressure on coral reefs decreases across a wide depth gradient in the Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea (2010, background): “…and resilience (Ledlie et al. 2007) must consider the deeper reefs, along with their unique abiotic and biotic characteristics: low light intensity, limited spectrum (Mass et al. 2007, Lesser et al. 2009) and different assemblages of herbivorous fish species (Brokovich 2008, Brokovich et al. 2008).”
Changes in morphology and diet of the coral Stylophora pistillata along a depth gradient (2009, background): “The photobiology of these branch samples has been described by Mass et al. (2007).”
Assessing the ‘deep reef refugia’ hypothesis: focus on Caribbean reefs (2010, background): “Although this deficit may be supplemented with heterotrophic feeding (McCloskey and Muscatine 1984; Mass et al. 2007; Alamaru et al. 2009; Lesser et al. 2009b), facilitated by the influx of deep nutrient-rich oceanic waters at greater depths (Leichter et al. 1996; Leichter and Genovese 2006), total…”
Coral calcification responds to seawater acidification: a working hypothesis towards a physiological mechanism (2008, methodology): “pistillata were used in this study because its physiology is well known (Muscatine et al. 1989; Tambutté et al. 1996; Shick et al. 2005; Franklin et al. 2006; Stambler and Shashar 2007; Mass et al. 2007).”
Descending to the twilight-zone: changes in coral reef fish assemblages along a depth gradient down to 65 m (2008, background): “The decline in the amount of branching corals with depth, together with a more flattened coral morpho- 259 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 371: 253–262, 2008 logy (Mass et al. 2007) which hinders the usage of the corals for shelter, may well be a major factor contributing to the change in damselfish dominance.”
Nutritional status and metabolism of the coral Stylophora subseriata along a eutrophication gradient in Spermonde Archipelago (Indonesia) (2011, background): “In low light and nutrient-replete conditions, photoacclimation increases the photosynthetic efficiency in corals (Dustan 1982; Mass et al. 2007; Hoogenboom et al. 2009) by increasing the areal pigment (e.g., chl a) and light harvesting protein concentrations (Dubinsky et al. 1990; Titlyanov et al.…”
Acclimation and adaptation of scleractinian coral communities along environmental gradients within an Indonesian reef system (2010, background): “Oxygen production would be expected to increase with increased external light availability (Anthony and Hoegh-Guldberg, 2003;Mass et al., 2007); however, this patternwas”
