Rising ocean acidity weakens corals, boosts algae and makes reefs flatter. Even small chemical changes reshape reef life.

Volcanic CO₂ seeps in Papua New Guinea reveal coral decline and algae takeover under future acidic oceans, threatening ...

By 2100, Australian and global coral reef communities will be slow to recover, less complex, and dominated by fleshy algae, ...

Hawaiʻi avoided the worst impacts of a recent marine heat wave in the North Pacific. But with marine heat waves occurring ...

Corals serve as a host to algae, which in turn produces sugars that the corals consume. Now, though, scientists have created 3D-printed coral that's even more algae-friendly than its natural ...

Some classics were just made to go together. Peanut butter and chocolate. Thanksgiving dinner and stretch pants. Scleractinian corals and dinoflagellate algae. And boy, do those two go way ...

One of the ways coral reacts to abnormal sea temperatures is by expelling tiny algae that lives in its tissues, a process that drives the type of bleaching events that have devastated Australia’s ...

Corals live symbiotically with a variety of microscopic algae that provide most of the energy corals require, and some algae can make coral more resilient to heat stress. In assessing one of the main ...

Australia's Great Barrier Reef might be able to survive warming sea temperatures, as a result of global warming, better than first thought because some coral algae are more heat tolerant, Australian ...

Mounting evidence shows the state of coral reefs is worsening despite concerted local conservation. The answer is public ...

Coral reefs form as a partnership between sea anemone-like polyps and photosynthetic algae that provides nutrients for the former and safe, well-lit shelter for the latter. But this alliance might not ...

Sept. 16 (UPI) --If coral are to survive global warming, they're going to need some help from their parents. New research suggests coral parents can instill resilience in their offspring, not by ...
