| Abstract: |
The article in Scientific American discusses how corals are adapting to warming waters caused by climate change. Researchers have observed that some corals are expelling heat-sensitive algae and taking in more heat-resistant species to survive. Additionally, corals have developed mechanisms such as fanning excess oxygen away and altering their metabolism to cope with heat stress. These natural adaptations are crucial for scientists aiming to preserve coral reefs, which are essential ecosystem anchors. [Extracted from the article] |
