The microscope is already yielding new insights into the relationship between corals and the symbiotic microalgae that support their health, revealing for the first time how well individual algae ...

To survive, coral and their algae maintain a tight relationship, but when ocean water gets too hot, the algae often jump ship, leaving just the white coral skeleton behind, a phenomenon called ...

Discover how an algae-based gel enhances coral restoration by attracting larvae to damaged reefs, increasing settlement rates by up to 20 times.

Prolonged warmth causes the algae to release toxic compounds, and the coral eject them. A stark white skeleton is left behind, and the weakened coral is at heightened risk of dying.

Fossils found in northern Africa and Germany suggest that many of their relatives were already living with symbiotic algae in the Devonian Period, which lasted from 419 to 359 million years ago. The ...
