A new study has shown that selective breeding can lead to a modest rise in coral heat tolerance. The study documents the world s first effort to selectively breed adult corals for enhanced heat ...
Scientists created the world’s first heat-tolerant corals to save reefs from climate change. They bred ones with the most promising traits to produce these sea creatures. These special corals ...
The heat tolerance of corals can be measured by analysing their responses to elevated water temperatures. Just as individual humans handle stress differently, so do corals. Even coral colonies of ...
New research shows some corals are more heat tolerant based on their genetics and environment. And scientists are hoping this could slow the rate at which reefs are being bleached.
