  1. This week's #NewBooks at the library:
    - I bought a bargain second-hand copy of The Rise and Fall of the Ediacaran Biota, published by the Geological Society
    - To prove it's not all hardcore science here, I visited my friend's new bookshop in Brixham in Devon and snagged myself a copy of SenLinYu's Alchemised, published by Michael Joseph. If you're in the area, go check out Into the West Bookshop, tell them The Inquisitive Biologist sent you.
    - Another second-hand bargain was Cold-Water Corals: The Biology and Geology of Deep-Sea Coral Habitats (yes, these exist!), published by Cambridge University Press.

  2. Scleractinian #corals function as biological archives, absorbing and accumulating anthropogenic compounds—such as pharmaceuticals, herbicides, and personal care products—within their tissues. This process provides a time-integrated record of chemical exposure and pollution in marine ecosystems.

    Helping #corals survive future #heatwaves requires strong and strategic trait selection

    Assisted #evolution could help corals survive future heatwaves, but careful trait choice and strong repeated selection will be needed for it to be effective.
