Xestospongia muta population structure. A Dendrogram of samples based on IBS matrix from ANGSD with matching site, depth zone, and depth (m) data and structure plots for K =2–5 for each X. muta sample. Colored points on dendrogram nodes represent Lineages Xm1 and Xm2 as well as putative hybrids (admixed samples). B Principal component analysis from pcangsd, where color represents sampling site and shape represents sampling depth zone. Larger, opaque shapes are sample population centroids and smaller, transparent shapes individual samples. CSame plot as B with samples colored by lineage assignment from K = 2 data set. D Same plot as C but for K = 4.

🪩 Excited to share our paper in #BiologyLetters about recent trends & biases in #mesophotic research! Huge effort by our volunteer community worldwide @pimbongaerts @AlelimonHA @perez-rosales-g.bsky.social & entire @mesophotic team!

A grid of four colorful deep-reef fishes from Hawai‘i Island. Clockwise from top left, there are Chaetodon tinkeri, Pseudanthias hawaiiensis, Apolemichthys arcuatus, and Xanthichthys auromarginatus.

New social account, new paper!

We explored Hawaiian mesophotic reefs with tech diving and eDNA and found strong depth-based biodiversity zonation, with community breaks at ~45–60 m across the tree of life.

(not OA but ask me for a PDF if you need to)
