Stress from rising water temperatures reduces ability of corals to adapt to ocean acidification, a new study in the journal Science Advances shows. About a quarter of the carbon emissions driving global warming are absorbed...
Scientists have discovered slimy microbes that may help keep coral reefs healthy. The bacteria scrub out nitrogen, potentially defending against certain nutrient overloads. Corals have evolved over millennia to live, and even thrive, in...
Similar to corals, foraminifera in tropical reefs bleach as the water temperature rises. In research, these unicellular organisms can help to investigate the effects of climate change on calcifying organisms. Scientists from Bremen and...
Australian researchers have succeeded for the first time in promoting the formation of new coral colonies in the Great Barrier Reef using ‘baby corals’. The Great Barrier Reef has lost nearly half of its...
An international team of marine scientists have discovered that oxybenzone – a common chemical found in sunscreens and other cosmetic products – is killing off coral reefs around the world. The chemical poses an...
