Heat-stressed reefs may benefit from coral-dwelling crabs

81% Informative
Researchers found that a species of branching coral benefitted from a reef-dwelling crab, especially when the coral was heat-stressed and wounded.
The findings support an ecological concept that positives species interactions like mutualism may be particularly important under environmental stress.
Understanding ecological factors that shield coral reefs from harm could inform conservation and restoration efforts.
An abundant mutualist can protect corals from multiple stressors, researchers say.
The study was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences , 2025 ; 292 ( 2040 ) Back to Mail Online home.
