DNA unlocks a new understanding of coral – Science Daily
A new study challenges more than 200 years of coral classification. Researchers say the ‘traditional’ method does not accurately capture the differences between species or their evolutionary relationships. They developed a new genetic tool to help better unde…
Scientists have developed a new genetic tool that can help them better understand and ultimately work to save coral reefs.”Surprisingly, we still don’t know how many coral species live on the Great Barrier Reef, how to identify them, or which species live where. And those are the first steps in saving an ecosystem like that,” said Dr Peter Cowman from the ARC Centre of Excellence at James Cook University (Coral CoE at JCU).
Dr Cowman led an international study on coral classification. Classific…
