Depth specialization in mesophotic corals (Leptoseris spp.) and associated algal symbionts in Hawai'i
Corals at the lower limits of mesophotic habitats are likely to have unique photosynthetic adaptations that allow them to persist and dominate in these extreme low light ecosystems. We examined the host–symbiont relationships from the dominant coral genus Leptoseris in mesophotic environments from H...
