Scientists have discovered that some coral species can “remember” how they lived through marine heat waves, with a study exploring reefs off the coast of Mo’orea in French Polynesia documenting an area with a devastating history of annual heat wave events since 2016. Despite the legacy of heat events, scientists have observed a microbial resilience, resistance, and acclimatization to repeated heat stress in many coral species in the area, consistent with a theory of an ecological coral “memory”. 🧠 | Source: Good News Network
