Resumen de The white spectres of death underwater
Bleaching occurs when the symbiotic relationship between coral and diverse groups of algae breaks down. An increasingly common feature of reefs worldwide, it is brought on by thermal stress resulting from seawater temperature anomalies associated with climate change. Studying coral bleaching can thus help us predict the threats reefs will face in the future. Here, Gonzalez-Rivero discusses their survey in Bermuda that coincided with a bleaching episode, one that has given his team its first opportunity to witness a detailed picture of the world's coral reefs.
