A coral walks into a (sand) bar. This may sound like a joke. But new time-lapse photography shows new details of how a squishy, loner coral polyp without legs manages to “walk.” Instead of banding ...

PhD student Fabian Gösser from the Department of Animal Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity has been studying how corals react to changing environmental conditions and how their stress response could ...

Physicists and marine biologists built a quantitative framework that predicts how coral polyps collectively construct a variety of coral shapes. Since before she could remember, Eva Llabrés was a ...

Reef-building coral may feed more efficiently by using tiny hair-like structures to generate food-carrying conveyer belts in the water running across their surface. Corals that form reefs consist of ...

Using an innovative new approach to sampling corals, researchers are now able to create maps of coral biochemistry that reveal with unprecedented detail the distribution of compounds that are integral ...

The other option is to simply 3D-print the replica skeleton directly out of the calcium carbonate ink, which cures as it's deposited on the print bed. In either case, the finished product is then ...

Erinn Muller should have reason to despair. The marine biologist studies coral health in Florida, a state whose reefs have been devastated by extreme heat, increasingly ferocious hurricanes and deadly ...
