What links these corals?
They’re all part of mesophotic coral ecosystems—deep, dim, and little-understood habitats teeming with life.

The Woman Who Demonstrated the Greenhouse Effect

Eunice Newton Foote showed that carbon dioxide traps the heat of the sun in 1856, beating the so-called father of the greenhouse effect by at least three years. Why was she forgotten?

Seamounts have been likened to ‘oases’ of life in the deserts of the open ocean. This integrated study of tropical #seamounts suggests that high faunal biomass is sustained by exogenous energy inputs and that they act as aggregating 'hubs' for marine top #predators 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/4hqrJoY
