20-10-20 Australias Great Barrier Reef has lost more than half of its corals since 1995 due to warmer seas driven by climate change, a study has found. 研究发现，自1995年以来，由于气候变化导致海洋变暖，澳大利亚大堡礁的珊瑚损失了一半以上。 Scientists found al...

15-06-25 Glowing corals that display a surprising array of colours have been discovered in the deep water reefs of the Red Sea by scientists from the University of Southampton, UK, Tel Aviv University and the Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences (IU...

14-12-09 A new study on tropical shallow-water soft corals, known as gorgonians, found that the species were able to calcify and grow under elevated carbon dioxide concentrations. These results suggest that Caribbean gorgonian corals may be more resilient to...

14-10-09 Certain types of corals, invertebrates of the sea that have been on Earth for millions of years, appear to have found a way to survive some of their most destructive threats by attaching to and growing under mangrove roots. Scientists with the U.S....

14-09-02 Conventional wisdom has long held that corals -- whose calcium-carbonate skeletons form the foundation of coral reefs -- are passive organisms that rely entirely on ocean currents to deliver dissolved substances, such as nutrients and oxygen. But no...

14-06-11 New research reveals that Caribbean corals and the algae（海藻） that inhabit them form a remarkably stable relationship -- new knowledge that can serve as an important tool in preserving and restoring vital reef-building corals. A scientific paper...

14-01-09 Competition may have a high cost for at least one species of tropical seaweed. Researchers examining the chemical warfare taking place on Fijian coral reefs have found that one species of seaweed increases its production of noxious（有害的） anti-co...

13-04-08 A new study has found that pollution from fine particles in the air -- mainly the result of burning coal or volcanic eruptions -- can shade corals from sunlight and cool the surrounding water resulting in reduced growth rates. Although coral reefs g...

12-09-27 For the first time in decades, researchers have conducted an extensive exploration for deep-sea corals and sponges in submarine canyons（峡谷） off the northeastern coast of the US. The survey revealed coral hotspots, and found that a new coral habi...

12-08-31 Corals are an invaluable part of the marine ecosystem, fostering biodiversity and protecting coastlines. But they're also increasingly endangered. Pathogenic bacteria, along with pollution and harmful fishing practices, are one of the biggest threat...
