Hopeful News for Caribbean Reefs? Low Oxygen May Be More Deadly for Staghorn Corals than High Temperatures
October 25, 2024
First experimental comparison of the effects of temperature and oxygen deprivation on three key Caribbean coral species shows that nightly low oxygen tips the balance of species survival away from tall, elegant, reef-building corals, towards lower, weedy corals, simplifying coral communities.
