This evolutionary gift can protect the coral from climate change
To see what defense the coral has already had against warm water, Meibom and his colleagues wanted to learn how much heat the coral and their complex network, called the holobiont, can withstand. It equates to testing the strength of a rubber: how long can you stretch it before it breaks? And how long does it take to return to normal shape?
Karine Kleinhaus, who studies corals at Stony Brook University, says it is essential to understand how these corals work at the cellular level. “These amazing corals will be the last to survive” XXI. Until the end of the century, he says. “We have to figure out what they’re doing, what’s going on, how they’re doing it.”
