Got pesky, #invasive #corals? Blast ‘em away with air guns
While corals around the world are dying in vast numbers due to #oceanacidification, #climatechange, #overfishing and disease, invasive counterparts such as #suncorals are taking over biodiversity hotspots. Blasts of compressed air can probably rid ecosystems of these rapidly spreading intruders and prevent them from reestablishing.

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.

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.

Scientists have found one of the world’s largest cold-water coral reefs deep off Argentina.

Home to dozens of species new to science, the reef already shows signs of fishing damage. Researchers are now testing 3D-printed "artificial corals" to help restore this fragile ecosystem.
