Scientists in the United States are reporting “unprecedented patterns” of surface warming, an ominous sign for coral. By Catrin Einhorn As the world’s coral reefs suffer a fourth global bleaching ...

Unraveling the processes that drive diversity patterns remains a central challenge for ecology, and an increased understanding is especially urgent to address and mitigate escalating diversity loss.

Gall crabs are tiny, and yet these crustaceans have evolved fluorescence to help them be concealed within hideouts they have created in the coral itself. Fluorescence in gall crabs has been reported ...

Damaged coral reefs show slower than expected recovery for up to six years before switching to a faster phase of regrowth, according to new research. This ‘two-phase’ recovery pattern was observed in ...
