Evolutionary history of stony corals suggests that some could be resilient to climate change
AI Summary
A recent study published on October 22, 2025, in Nature by Vaga et al., reveals insights into the evolutionary history of stony corals and their resilience to climate change. The research presents a comprehensive phylogenetic tree that maps the relationships between various stony coral species, highlighting their traits across different environmental conditions. Shallow-water corals, which have symbiotic relationships with microalgae, appear more vulnerable to adverse environmental changes compared to deep-water corals. This finding suggests that some deep-water coral species could be more resilient to climate change impacts. The study provides a historical context for understanding the current threats faced by coral reefs globally due to climate change.
