This colony of Acropora millepora California Academy of Sciences will start spawning around 3PM today. Check it out on our livestream here! youtube.com/watch?v=69n7SP…

We assembled a chromosome-level Acropora hyacinthus genome, then used it and other samples to come up with a new hypothesis on how coral cells develop (potentially i-cell-like stem cells), how mutations are passed on from parents to their gametes, and... royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

How to prepare for ocean acidification | California Academy of Sciences calacademy.org/press/releases…

#OceanAcidification (OA) is a major problem (26% increase over past 150 yrs). Reducing the impact is a target of UN #SDG14. In IOP Environment, Rebecca Albright et al. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg discuss 6 key facets of #policy preparedness, eg, OA #literacy & #PolicyCoherence doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…

Hot off the press!🔥 We unveil a groundbreaking finding: once corals reach puberty, colony age may matter more than size for reproduction! 🪸 Tel Aviv University IUI-Eilat 🔗doi.org/10.1016/j.isci… #Coral #Reproduction #Aging

#DidYouKnow corals have mastered high speed evolution? Some tropical reef-building corals can alter & test out their genes before passing them to the next generation, potentially increasing their chances of survival in a warming ocean. bit.ly/3BYVB94

Thanks 60 Minutes and Anderson Cooper for the quote and for continuing to highlight the value of healthy coral reefs and our fight to help them survive. X-Reefs Coral Reef Futures Lab

New work led by Carnegie Embryology's Phillip Cleves uses cutting-edge CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tools to reveal a gene that’s critical to stony corals’ ability to build their reef architectures. It is published in PNASNews. carnegiescience.edu/crisprcas9-rev…

Meet Elena. She’s an artist inspired by the colour & beauty of corals. She hopes to raise awareness about the threats to corals & reefs - & what we can do to save them 🪸 Elena is part of #TeamCoral. Are you? 💙🌏🌊 bit.ly/3N0hklY #WorldOceansDay #WorldOceansDay23

📢 Our 2023 Coral Accelerator Program is now open! We’re seeking the best minds worldwide to secure a future for corals & reefs. International research teams should be collaborative, innovative & passionate about finding scalable solutions to protect & restore these incredible

📣 This #WorldHabitatDay we’re proud to announce our 2022 Coral Accelerator Program award winners! 🌏 After receiving applications from acclaimed research teams all over the world, our evaluation committee selected 14 projects, including scientists & experts from 20 countries.

Prof Emma L Johnston AO FAA FTSE It was my pleasure! Thank you for coming! Here is a (very red but cool I think) photo that I took of you and Rebecca Albright at the Coral Regeneration Lab!

Interested to learn more about variability in precompetency of coral taxa? I'm thrilled to finally share our new study in Communications Biology, the culmination of nearly 4 years of testing across 25 species! Thanks to SeaSim for all the spawning support! #ACRRI #RRAP Australian Institute of Marine Science

It’s not just the Great Barrier Reef. Climate change is devastating reefs around the world. I grew up seeing Mussismilia hartii, a very unique species only found in Brazil, and now they are all bleaching. So, so sad. 😞 🎥 Pedro Henrique

12 hours ago, the Fourth Global Bleaching Event was announced. This could be the largest coral bleaching event the world has ever seen. Learn what WCS is doing about it here ⬇️⬇️ newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releases/…
