Along with highlighting the power of lab-driven evolution, this discovery also led to finding similar mutations in nature in emerging pathogens and coral symbionts—organisms that navigate ...

Oct. 11, 2024 — New study documents a severe coral bleaching event occurring in a deep coral reef that resulted in high rates of coral mortality. Unlike many bleaching events, this was driven by ...

A new study has shown that selective breeding can lead to a modest rise in coral heat tolerance. The study documents the world s first effort to selectively breed adult corals for enhanced heat ...

The structural complexity of coral reefs creates a vibrant underwater city populated by a diverse assortment of characters. Ironically, this same complexity can impede coral recovery after ...

An underwater investigation of coral bleaching in the South Pacific By Justin Worland | Photographs by XL Catlin Seaview Survey Richard Vevers has traveled the globe to photograph coral reefs ...

Coral reefs cover less than 0.1% of our ocean, but they are home to 25% of its wildlife and provide livelihoods, food security and protection from tropical storms for an estimated 850 million people ...

Coral reefs provide an important ecosystem for life underwater, protect coastal areas by reducing the power of waves hitting the coast, and provide a crucial source of income for millions of people.

New research out of Southern Cross University has found previously undocumented variation in coral heat tolerance on Australia's Great Barrier Reef, giving hope that corals' own genetic resources ...

A team of marine biologists had done everything they could to set the stage for something akin to a romantic evening for a tank full of coral. As the anticipated hour arrived at the Florida Coral ...
