Many deep-sea species are thought to have evolved from shallow-water ancestors, making their adaptations critical to marine biology research. Using innovative in situ sampling and fixation techniques, ...

Dr Pim Bongaerts, a Research Fellow at The University of Queensland's Global Change Institute (GCI) and ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, and lead author of the study, said deep reefs ...

Deep water reefs are unlikely to be safe harbors for many fish and coral species from shallow reefs threatened by climate change and human activity. Shallow water creatures may have trouble adapting ...

SAN FRANCISCO (July 19, 2018) - New findings suggest that out-of-sight deep reefs are unique habitats in need of protection. A team of highly trained scientific divers--led by researchers from the ...

Mining in the shallow waters of the continental shelf is seen as more sustainable than deep-sea mining, but goes against global goals on sustainability and conservation, a new study says. There are ...

A team of highly trained scientific divers explored Pacific and western Atlantic reefs to test a widely held hypothesis that climate-stressed life from shallow reefs can take refuge at mesophotic ...
