Why do some coral reefs weather marine heat waves better than others? A new study published in Scientific Reports shows that ...
Natural disasters can devastate a region, abruptly killing the species that form an ecosystem's structure. But how this transpires can influence recovery. While fires scorch the landscape to the ...
Touch the branches of Leptogorgia chilensis, a soft coral found along the Pacific coast from California to Chile, and its flexible arms stiffen. Penn Engineers have discovered the mechanism underlying ...
MADISON, Wis. — A new University of Wisconsin–Madison study has implications for predicting coral reef survival and developing mitigation strategies against having their bony skeletons weakened by ...
A surprising amount of plastic pollution in the ocean may wind up in a previously overlooked spot: the skeletons of living corals. Up to about 20,000 metric tons of tiny fragments called microplastics ...
Massive coral boulders litter the inland scrub of Anegada, a low-lying British Virgin Island. These colonies weigh up to 10 tons and sit 1,200 feet from the sea. They are geological anomalies that ...
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 ...
A variety of microplastics extracted from corals off the coast of Si Chang Island in the Gulf of Thailand. As seen by the color, shape, and size, coral will consume a wide range of microplastics, with ...
Coral skeletons left by a tsunami over 630 years ago are a warning for the Caribbean region, according to new research. An earthquake exceeding magnitude 8.0 rocked the north eastern Caribbean ...
A new study has implications for predicting coral reef survival and developing mitigation strategies against having their bony skeletons weakened by ocean acidification. A new University of ...
