Summaryon selective breeding corals for heat tolerance at The Conversation What did we find? There is scope to assist evolution of corals with selective breeding, but we still gotta cut emissions, and fast! Coralassist Lab James Guest Adriana Humanes theconversation.com/weve-bred-cora…

Scientists have successfully bred corals to improve their heat tolerance | ERC erc.europa.eu/news-events/ne…

Our researchers in Coralassist Lab have achieved a world's first in coral preservation. Through selective breeding they've been able to improve adult corals' ability to survive intense marine heatwaves. Find out more 👇 ncl.ac.uk/press/articles… #WeAreNCL #ClimateEmergency

Researchers globally are working on a range of projects to enhance corals’ resistance to marine heat waves. This summer I dove in Palau to learn more about ones focused on assisted evolution... My latest for Yale Environment 360 with Coralassist Lab Steve Palumbi🪸🐟🇵🇼 e360.yale.edu/features/selec…

Thanks to Amanda E Bates for her thoughts on how the recent paper from my PhD at Coralassist Lab (about the variability of coral heat tolerance among reefs) contributes to thermal biology and conservation more broadly. doi.org/10.1016/j.tree… Natural Environment Research Council International Coral Reef Society

ALERT critical paper on coral reef restoration/conservation!!! NatureClimate It is (sadly) easier to sell disaster than solutions... but the solutions exist (and are not mutually exclusive!) and are being continuously developed and optimized. rdcu.be/d1S5K
