selective breeding coralsScienceDaily
•Scientists have successfully bred corals to improve their heat tolerance
77% Informative
Study documents the world s first effort to selectively breed adult corals for enhanced heat tolerance.
The breeding effort was a success, showing that it is possible to improve the heat tolerance of adult coral offspring, even in a single generation.
The improvement was modest in comparison to future marine heatwaves expected under climate change.
Selective breeding enhances coral heat tolerance to marine heatwaves, scientists say.
Coral species are now being bred to cope with heatwaves in marine environments.
The study was published in the journal Nature Communications , 2024 ; 15 ( 1 ) DOI: 10.1038 /s41467-024-52895.
