Abstract

Kevin Bairos-Novak studied coral responses to climate change across the Great Barrier Reef. He modelled coral evolution across future climates and found that coral evolution may keep pace with climate change if carbon emissions are substantially reduced and if healthy corals continue to produce enough new coral recruits.
