The paper investigates community assembly in mesophotic coral ecosystems, finding that environmental filtering, particularly turbidity from benthic nepheloid layers, shapes community composition more than geographic distance or dispersal limitation.

This study uses population genomics and larval dispersal modeling to show that Swiftia exserta relies on clonal propagation within mesophotic banks and episodic larval exchange between them.

This paper introduces SWARM, an AI agent-based model that improves marine larval dispersal simulations by incorporating LLM-based behavioral agents, enhancing predictive accuracy for connectivity and restoration strategies.
