Drawing out the secrets of coral reef resilience to high ocean temperatures
Junio 05, 2025
Researchers compared DNA from corals and their symbiotic organisms from two sites along the Pacific coast of Panama to better understand how the different members of the coral holobiont influence their ability to tolerate temperature extremes.
Where are the sharks?
Searching Caribbean reefs for sharks’ microscopic calling cards
Agosto 11, 2014
Estimating shark populations on degraded Caribbean reefs is complicated, especially when there few around. A pioneering member of the O’Dea lab has developed a technique to estimate shark populations — both past and present — using their microscopic skin scales
