Coral reefs make up less than 1% of ocean habitat yet support at least 25% of marine species; and they’re under threat from rising temperatures and climate change. UC Davis researchers are working to understand why some corals stand the heat better than others and how that resilience could inform restoration and conservation efforts. From studying coral genetics to uncovering the role of microbiomes, this research could help us protect reef ecosystems and the coastal communities that depend on t
