A new study into the recent history of the Great Barrier Reef has shown how it responds to rapid sea-level rise and other environmental... more

In contrast to most other species, reef-dwelling parrotfish populations boom in the wake of severe coral bleaching. The surprise finding came when researchers looked at fish populations in severely bleached areas of two reefs -- the Great Barrier... more

A study commissioned by 14 seafaring nations predicts that unchecked climate change could devastate fishery industries and coral reef tourism, causing hundreds of billions of dollars in losses by 2050. more

Aging involves a decline in neural function that contributes to cognitive impairment... more

Climate change is causing previously temperate oceans to become more tropical with coral reef fish moving south, settling in and changing how things work in their new temperate neighborhood, according to a... more

A new study finds that cognitive impairment begins in the earliest stages of age-related hearing loss -- when hearing is still considered normal. more

The emergence of a new coral disease in Micronesian reefs, termed grey-patch disease, is reported in the open access journal Microbiome. The disease alters the community of microbes found on the host coral and measuring these changes may be a... more

Epithelial cells that line our intestines serve as a robust barrier to invasion by viruses, bacteria and exposure to ingested agents. A new study,... more

Coral reefs around the world are threatened by pan-tropical bleaching events that occur when the surrounding sea water temperatures increase... more

The flat dry lakebed (also called a playa) surrounding Utah's Great Salt Lake is more than 750 square miles—an area bigger than Houston. The wide-open landscape is surprisingly varied and is the realm of coyotes, bison,... more

New research in mice suggests that a leaky blood-brain barrier can accelerate brain aging, and that targeting inflammation can reverse some changes. more

The shrinking of the clouds of the Great Red Spot on Jupiter has been well documented with photographic... more
