New Study: Daily Cycle In Coral Reefs

Описание: New research reveals that coral reefs orchestrate a hidden daily rhythm in the microscopic world around them, driving predictable cycles in bacterial and algal populations over 24 hours. This discovery shows reefs act as ecosystem engines that structure microbial life above the reef, not just larger visible species. By sampling reef waters frequently throughout the day and night, scientists uncovered patterns that may serve as sensitive indicators of reef health in a warming ocean. Based on a Science Advances study (DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ady9534), this video explains how reef activity shapes microbial communities and why it matters for coral ecosystem monitoring.
