Abstract
Mikaela Nordborg studied the sensitivity of tropical coral to petroleum oil exposure. She found that all assessed life stages of coral were sensitive to oil exposure, that impacts were exacerbated during ultraviolet light co-exposure and that oil toxicity modelling can be a useful tool in tropical oil spill risk assessments.
