Hace 17 horas · Abstract. Foraminifera are single-celled protists which are important mediators of the marine carbon cycle. In our study, we explored the potential impact of polystyrene (PS) microplastic ...
Hace 17 horas · First, coral reef scientists need more and better (experimental, environmental, and observational) data collected in a standardized and easily accessible manner (Grottoli et al. 2021), particularly from areas that have yet to be studied in detail.This will help to generate better predictive models, understand a broader diversity of coral reefs, and emphasize wider trends to ultimately refine ...
Hace 17 horas · This kind of imaging helps researchers to narrow down which parts of the coral they will analyze using geochemistry. “As the corals grow, they have a calcium carbonate skeleton, and this skeleton often reflects the composition of the water that it’s growing in,” said Brenner. “It’s taking in different metals, different isotopes, and ...
Hace 4 días · When it comes to coral reefs, that is definitely something we do—and it’s a practice that can save coral reefs. Our programs that focus on securing clean water for reefs and addressing overfishing aim to restore coral reefs to a more natural, healthier state and protect them from human impacts.
Hace 2 días · As they are not plants, they don't reproduce using seeds, but actually reproduce as animals do, with eggs and sperm. The way they do this, though, is mysterious and rare to see. "Coral mass ...
Hace 17 horas · Corals are colonial marine invertebrates within the class Anthozoa of the phylum Cnidaria.They typically form compact colonies of many identical individual polyps.Coral species include the important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans and secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton.. A coral "group" is a colony of very many genetically identical polyps.
Hace 1 día · The Coral Reef Alliance has successfully operationalized a community-led waste treatment facility in the West End on the island of Roatan. This one project alone is keeping 30 million gallons of sewage out of the ocean each year, improving the health of the community, as well as, the coral reefs that are the lifeblood of the island economy.
