This issue explores:
- Corals that survive repeated thermal stress show signs of selection and acclimatisation
- The ocean losing its breath under the heatwaves
- Directional swimming patterns in jellyfish aggregations
Welcome to the August 2024 issue of the OneOcean Science Mailout.
In this edition we present three new papers. These focus on:
- How some species of coral may be able to acclimatize to heat stress in an increasingly warmer ocean
- The impact of marine heatwaves on low-oxygen extreme events in the ocean’s surface layer is greater than previously thought and could be leading to more severe impacts on marine biodiversity and ecosystems
- Insights into the swimming behaviour of jellyfish. A Mediterranean species is able to swim away from the coast, reducing the risk of strandings.
