In their paper for Limnology and Oceanography Letters, the researchers note that one species of coral, Goniopora tenuidens, ...

Record ocean heat has taken a devastating toll on one of the world’s greatest natural wonders, with coral bleaching on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef reaching “catastrophic” levels, a new ...

The research also highlights the complex interplay between heat stress, disease onset and coral mortality. Notably, Goniopora corals developed black band disease, contributing to the high ...

Another species, the Goniopora, became infected by black band disease, which invades the coral’s tissue and can kill it. A turtle swims in a shallow lagoon at Lady Elliot Island, off the ...

Scientists in Australia have observed unprecedented coral bleaching across the world's largest reef system. In a new study, they track the rapid rate at which coral colonies in the Southern Great ...
