MCEs are characterized by light-dependent corals and associated communities typically found at depths ranging from 30-40 m and extending to over 150 m in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. They are populated with organisms typically associated with shallow coral reefs, such as macroalgae, corals, sponges, and fishes, as well as specialist species unique to mesophotic depths. During the past decade, there has been an increasing scientific and management interest in MCEs expressed by the exponential increase in the number of publications studying this unique environment. Despite their close proximity to well-studied shallow reefs, and the growing evidence of their importance, our scientific knowledge of MCEs is still in its early stages. The topics covered in the book include: regional variation in MCEs; similarities and differences between mesophotic and shallow reef taxa, biotic and abiotic conditions, biodiversity, ecology, geomorphology, and geology; potential connectivity between MCEs and shallow reefs; MCE disturbances, conservation, and management challenges; and new technologies, key research questions/knowledge gaps, priorities, and future directions in MCE research. 410 0$aCoral Reefs of the World,$x2213-719X ;$v12 606 $aEcologia marina$2thub 606 $aEcologia dels esculls coral·lins$2thub 606 $aAquatic ecology 606 $aMarine sciences 606 $aFresh water 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aEcology 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aOceanography 606 $aFreshwater & Marine Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19066 606 $aMarine & Freshwater Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U36000 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aConservation Biology/Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19150 606 $aBiodiversity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19031 606 $aOceanography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G25005 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 7$aEcologia marina 615 7$aEcologia dels esculls coral·lins 615 0$aAquatic ecology. 615 0$aMarine sciences. 615 0$aFresh water. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aOceanography. 615 14$aFreshwater & Marine Ecology. 615 24$aMarine & Freshwater Sciences. 615 24$aClimate Change. 615 24$aConservation Biology/Ecology. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aOceanography. 676 $a551.424 702 $aLoya$b Yossi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPuglise$b Kimberly A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBridge$b Tom C.
