A new study links grazing halo patterns in coral reefs, as well as those in other patchy habitats, to the spatial patterns of the shelter habitat itself. The researchers found that grazing halos are ...

Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have developed a new method to predict coral bleaching five to ...

Combining an innovative approach developed for medical sciences mathematicians and marine ecologists have identified new coral recovery patterns in the Great Barrier Reef, providing critical ...

The urgent fight to protect Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef from disastrous mass coral bleaching events has been given a significant boost, with new research from Monash University identifying ...

Under-the-sea themes are a constant of coastal design. But one marine motif especially transcends styles, as a rich boost to almost any kind of decor, and that is coral. We love its connection to the ...

Visual signals, such as color patterns are an important communication medium for anemonefish. Researchers from Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology have recently elucidated how the patterns on ...

Technion, TAU researchers discover coral tentacle movement pattern The study shows that the oscillating movements of the tentacles are not passive and the coral tentacles precede the movement of the ...

Grazing halos at Heron Island, Australia, are distinct where coral are clustered (outlined with a white box) but merge where coral are dispersed (outlined with a black box). In coral reefs throughout ...
