New research shows that some coral species are resilient to heat waves in the ocean because they “remember” how they survived previous ones. Scientists from Oregon State University have also found evidence that the ecological response is likely related to the microbial community that lives among corals.

According to recent research, some marine species can withstand coastal heat waves by “remembering” how they survived a previous one. Evidence that the natural memory response is probably connected to the bacterial communities that live among the corals has even been found by researchers at Oregon State University. The research was released today in the journal Global Change Biology.
The first article to appear on Good News Network was titled Some Coral Species More Resilient to Climate Than Thought By” Remembering” How to Survive Prior Heat Waves.
