Plutôt qu’une stratégie de survie ingénieuse, l’immobilité tonique pourrait n’être qu’un simple « bagage évolutif ».
- Professor of Marine Biology, James Cook University
Rather than a clever survival tactic, tonic immobility might just be ‘evolutionary baggage’.
A new study proves for the first time that the ‘two-thirds scaling law’ applies to large animals as well as small ones, offering key lessons for conversation.
The scale of climate threat is beyond the tools we have to manage the Great Barrier Reef. New measures and sustained effort are needed.
New research reveals baby clownfish like Nemo are incredible athletes, able to swim 10-50 body lengths per second. Their athletic traits support their journey from the open ocean back to the reef.
Efforts to save the reef aren’t tackling the main cause: climate change. What we need from our next federal government is strong leadership to avert the climate crisis.
The reef is suffering environmental conditions that are so extreme, scientists are struggling to simulate these scenarios in laboratories.
Le Pacifique produit de l’oxygène, aide à réguler le climat, fournit de la nourriture. C’est un lieu de plaisir, de réconfort et de connexion spirituelle. Mais son écologie délicate est menacée.
Samudra Pasifik memproduksi oksigen, membantu pengaturan udara, menyediakan makanan dan mata pencaharian. Ia juga tempat kegembiraan, penghiburan dan spiritualitas. Namun, lautan ini sedang terancam.
El Océano Pacífico produce oxígeno, ayuda a regular el clima, proporciona alimentos y medios de vida. Es un lugar de diversión, consuelo y conexión espiritual. Pero su delicada ecología está amenazada.
The Pacific Ocean produces oxygen, helps regulates the weather, provides food and livelihoods. It’s a place of fun, solace and spiritual connection. But its delicate ecology is under threat.
From a scientific perspective, the results are fascinating and world-first. From a personal perspective, what I saw will stay with me for a long time.
