#DeepSea origin and depth colonization associated with phenotypic innovations in scleractinian #corals: Ana Campoy et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-43287-y

"Half of the scleractinian corals form vibrant shallow #reefs, while the other half, independent of the #PhoticZone, thrives in cold waters across diverse regions and depths. This diversity holds keys to understanding the origins of deep-sea life."

It’s not just #Marine #Biologists who may find this great article interesting.
