How Coral Babies Resist Bleaching and Survive Climate Change

Research reveals that coral larvae combat high temperatures by lowering their metabolism and boosting nitrogen uptake, averting bleaching. This adaptive strategy enhances their survival by conserving energy and optimizing nutritional exchanges with symbiotic algae during critical growth phases.
