Currently, climate change represents the main threat to the health and survival of coral reefs. Elevated temperatures for prolonged periods, together with intense solar radiation, cause oxidative stress and trigger mass bleaching events, i.e. the breakdown in the symbiotic relationship between the host coral and its photosynthetic endosymbionts. As the frequency and intensity of marine he…
Accelerated ocean warming is a major threat for reef ecosystems worldwide. Sustained heat and elevated solar irradiance may lead to mass coral bleaching and death. Reef sites and habitats that are less susceptible to heat stress due to intrinsic characteristics (e.g. greater depths and high turbidity) are widely recognized as coral refugia. Corals living outside climate refugia may face s…

Mesophotic ecosystems (MEs) are transitional environments between shallow reefs and the deep sea, harboring many species of ecological and economic importance but gathered more attention only in the last decade. The Great Amazon Reef System (GARS) is a mesophotic reef system that flourishes below the Amazon River Plume. Although evidence for the existence of reefs below the Amazon-Orinoco…
Larvae of reef fish generally settle in shallow and complex coastal habitats, which are recognized as nurseries. During ontogenetic development, individuals migrate along the continental shelf until they reach reproductive areas, located mainly on deeper reefs and away from the coast. Latitudinal differences in the environment (e.g. seasonal temperature patterns) and in the composition of…
Coral reefs are often affected by local impacts such as coastal pollution. Human landbased activities are major sources of pollution to reef communities, leading to disturbances in water quality and species composition. Impacted areas may also lead to the establishment of invasive species, that may pose significant threats to marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning worldwide. This s…
The activities of the oil and gas (O&G) industry pose a significant threat to the marine environment at all stages of operations, with negative ecological and socioeconomic impacts often far outweighing the benefits. Brazil, one of the world's top ten oil producers and consumers, has recently increased its efforts to expand O&G exploration in the Amazon Continental Shelf (ACS). The ACS co…
