Restoration projects heavily favour quick-growing branching corals. The delicate branches of these corals are more susceptible to becoming fragments of opportunity, and are also easier to ...

One year later, the lab-reared coral were transplanted onto a living reef. "In four years, these branching corals have grown to a size of a soccer ball and reproduced, simultaneously with their ...

“That’s surprisingly quick.” But the composition of the restored reefs was different from healthy ones, consisting primarily of branching corals. This is largely due to the restoration ...

"Branching coral populations exposed to intermediate or low storm frequencies are known to have primarily sexual populations, whereas sites with the highest storm frequencies have mostly clonal ...

54, No. 5, Sep., 2009 Flow Inside a Coral Colony Measured Usin... The velocity field within scale models of branching coral Stylophora pistillata colonies was measured using magnetic resonance ...

A critical issue in reef conservation efforts is the slow rate at which corals can recover from damage. Although some branching corals can grow rapidly, most grow only a few centimeters annually ...

During this time, the temperatures remained high. Alex told me that around 90% of the branching corals at Lizard Island died. Even Percy’s “kitchen” – a boulder coral where the ingenious ...

A new study reveals that life on the Great Barrier Reef is experiencing significant changes due to climate change and other ...

Laser Doppler anemometry was utilized within a laboratory flume to measure water velocities encountered 200 micrometer from coral surfaces by microscopic larvae sitting at different locations within a ...
