Coral reefs are likely to erode even under low-emission scenarios, but some reefs may persist if corals evolve to become more resistant to ocean warming.
Plants and animals that live in the same community share the same heat tolerance – new study.
Dogs can only sweat on their paw pads, which is not a lot of use when it comes to shedding body heat.
Corals in the Persian Gulf are tough - they can withstand temperatures that would kill corals elsewhere. And there’s good news: it’s easy to cross-breed their heat-tolerance genes into other corals.
