Coral polyps are the building blocks of coral reefs. Coral reef ecosystem consists of a high diversity of marine species yet is among the world's most fragile and endangered ecosystem. A highly complex mutualistic symbiosis exists between the coral polyp and the single celled algae (zooxanthellae)...

As a result, this is harmful to the marine ecosystem and for maintaining a balance. The close interrelationship between mass coral bleaching and mortality and short periods of rising sea temperature reveals the various effects of global warming on corals. This led to the conclusion that coral ...
These include the molecular biology of corals and their symbiotic algae, remote sensing of reef systems, ecology of coral disease spread, effects of various scenarios of global climate change, ocean acidification effects of increasing CO2 levels on coral calcification, and damaged coral reef ...
In a coral reef ecosystem, due to rising sea temperatures, some coral - dependent fish species have to change their ecological niches. They start to move to deeper and cooler waters. What is the most significant factor causing this? A. The change in the availability of coral reefs B. The...
