Marked spatial heterogeneity of macro-benthic communities along a shallow-mesophotic depth gradient in Reunion Island

Abstract Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have gained considerable attention this last decade but the paucity of knowledge on these ecosystems is pronounced, particularly in the Southwestern Indian Ocean region. We explore the spatial variation in macro-benthic and scleractinian communities along...
