Connectivity between submerged and near‐sea‐surface coral reefs: can submerged reef populations act as refuges?

AIM: Connectivity is a key determinant of coral reef resilience. However, connectivity models rarely account for deep or submerged reefs, despite their widespread occurrence in many coral reef provinces. Here, we model coral larval connectivity among submerged and near‐sea‐surface (NSS) reefs, inves...
