SIMULATING BLEACHING: LONG-TERM ADAPTATION TO THE DARK REVEALS PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA CORAL OCULINA PATAGONICA

The Eastern Mediterranean Sea scleractinian Oculina patagonica, demonstrates high resilience to repeated seasonal bleaching events, a trait potentially allowing the species to survive through a radically changing climate.However, the physiological and morphological contributors that make this plasticity of O.patagonica possible are poorly understoo

Metal is one of the most widely used materials in the world.It was a crucial driving force in technological development since the industrial age and continues to push us forward to this day.As metal consumption grows, so does the amount of scrap metal generated.Proper utilization of this waste is crucial in mitigating the negative environmental imp
