Abstract : The cover image relates to the Research Article https://doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13549 "Mesophotic coral ecosystems of French Polynesia are hotspots of alpha and beta generic diversity for scleractinian assemblages" by Gonzalo Pérez‐Rosales et al. A quantitative study in French Polynesia suggests mesophotic coral ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots and recommends their consideration in the conservation planning of coral reefs.
