The world’s corals face a fight for survival as our oceans continue to warm, and scientists are pulling out all stops in an attempt to give them a fighting chance. An international team of researchers ...
Nov. 9 (UPI) --Using the CRISPR-Cas9 technique to precisely alter the genome of Great Barrier Reef coral, scientists identified a gene vital to heat tolerance in the species Acropora millepora. The ...
The upper panel shows a coral reef margin in Belize with living branched Acropora (elkhorn) and platy Millepora (fire) corals, which are both competitive and fast-growing. The lower panel shows broken ...
After 10,000 years, they're now gone. Nearly all of Florida’s critically endangered Acropora coral colonies are now dead, after a record-breaking ocean heat wave in 2023. This marks the species’ ...
A three months old stony coral Acropora millepora. Samuel Nietzer and Mareen Möller will breed corals like these in aquaria under improved conditions. Coral farming based on sexual propagation, ...
Understanding the genetic basis of reproductive isolation is a long-standing goal of speciation research. In recently diverged populations, genealogical discordance may reveal genes and genomic ...
New research reports the functional extinction of Acropora corals from Florida's Coral Reef. Scientists have documented catastrophic mortality of these critically endangered corals following a ...
