Coral reefs appear to run a daily timetable for microscopic life in nearby waters. Scientists found that microbial ...

Coral reefs shape the daily rise and fall of nearby microbes, organizing them into rhythms that influence how reef ecosystems ...

Learn how coral reefs drive daily changes in ocean microbes — a process that shapes how nutrients and energy move through ...

Coral reefs don’t just shape marine life you can see, they also control the daily rhythms of invisible microbes nearby.

Marine biologists sampling coral reef waters multiple times a day have shown how they shape surrounding marine life.

Coral reefs are often described as biodiversity hotspots, but new research shows they also act as powerful regulators of the ...

Coral reefs are often framed as postcard scenery or biodiversity hotspots, but they are also working food factories that the ...

Combining an innovative approach developed for medical sciences mathematicians and marine ecologists have identified new coral recovery patterns in the Great Barrier Reef, providing critical ...

Grazing halos at Heron Island, Australia, are distinct where coral are clustered (outlined with a white box) but merge where coral are dispersed (outlined with a black box). In coral reefs throughout ...

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.

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 ...
