Revealing the ramifications of ocean acidification for coralline algae

Researchers find that most coralline algae are negatively affected by ocean acidification, but some species may be more resilient than others. Scientists have long suspected that coralline algae are particularly…

Restoring coral health

Coral reef ecosystems are severely threatened by climate change. The urgent need to address the issue is driving a new era of innovation in reef science, shown by a global…

Tiny microscopic hunters could be a crystal ball for climate change

Simple measurements of these obscure organisms can help predict future CO2 emissions for warming ecosystems, study finds. It’s hard to know what climate change will mean for Earth’s interconnected and…

No silver bullet

Remoteness does not enhance coral reef resilience, according to marine ecologists. There’s a widespread hypothesis that links the resilience of coral reefs with their remoteness from human activities — the…

Shedding light on mysterious jellyfish diets

Jellyfish have voracious appetites, and they aren’t considered the most selective eaters. Almost anything that gets stuck to their tentacles winds up in the gelatinous sack that they use to…
