RSSFossil corals, up to half a million years old, are providing fresh hope that coral reefs may be able to withstand the huge stresses imposed on them by today’s human activity. Reef ecosystems were able to persist through massive environmental changes imposed by sharply falling sea levels during previous ice ages, an international scientific team [...]
A study by the University of Exeter provides the first evidence that coral reefs can recover from the devastating effects of climate change. Published Monday 11 January in the journal PLOS One, the research shows for the first time that coral reefs located in marine reserves can recover from the impacts of global warming. Scientists [...]
A new report published in Marine Ecology Progress Series suggests that some coral reefs have adapted to global warming and may be able to survive further warming as predicted by the IPCC . They resist bleaching by hosting heat-resistant strains of algae: Distributions of stress-resistant coral symbionts match environmental patterns at local but not regional [...]
Scientists have reported a rapid recovery in some of the coral reefs that were damaged by the Indian Ocean tsunami four years ago. It had been feared that some of the reefs off the coast of Indonesia could take a decade to recover. The New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) found evidence of rapid growth [...]
Hundreds of new kinds of animal species, including 130 colourful corals, have been discovered. The extraordinary creatures were found by researchers systematically exploring waters off two islands on the Great Barrier Reef and a reef off northwestern Australia. Dr Ian Poiner, chief executive of the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences, that led the research, said: [...]
