As global warming accelerates, extreme heatwaves are causing widespread death of tropical reef corals. Most corals rely on tiny algae cells living within their tissues that photosynthesise and produce ...

Scientists call for a major acceleration in coral assisted evolution research to help reefs cope with rapidly warming oceans. The study, published today (30 March), was led by Dr. Adriana Humanes, ...

Assisted evolution could help corals survive future heat waves, but careful trait choice and strong repeated selection will be needed for it to be effective. As global temperatures rise, marine heat ...
