Diversity in heat tolerance can help protect coral reefs
New groundbreaking research from Southern Cross University has uncovered remarkable variation in coral heat tolerance on the iconic Great Barrier Reef. This discovery offers a glimmer of hope, suggesting that the key to the reef’s recovery and adaptation may lie within the genetic diversity of its corals.
Scientists Discover Heat-Tolerant Corals Hidden In Plain Sight. Could It Help Protect The Great Barrier Reef?
Just as individual humans handle stress differently, so do corals. Even coral colonies of the same species, growing side by side, vary in their tol
How remarkable diversity in heat tolerance can help protect coral reefs
New research has found previously undocumented variation in coral heat tolerance on the Great Barrier Reef, giving hope that corals' own genetic resources may hold the key for us to help in its recovery and adaptation.
