Corals are marine invertebrates belonging to the Anthozoa subphylum within the Cnidaria phylum. They exist as colonies of identical polyps. Certain coral species are crucial reef builders in tropical oceans, secreting calcium carbonate to create a hard skeleton, contributing significantly to the formation of coral reefs.
In 1911, the Manchu or Qing Dynasty ended, marking the height of red coral's popularity in China, where it was almost exclusively reserved for the emperor's use.
In 1998, 16% of the world's reefs died as a result of increased water temperature.
A study published in 2018 revealed evidence of phylosymbiosis between corals and their tissue and skeleton microbiomes. The coral skeleton showed the strongest evidence of phylosymbiosis.
In 2019, Goldsmith et al. demonstrated Sanger sequencing was capable of reproducing the biologically relevant diversity detected by deeper next-generation sequencing, while also producing longer sequences useful to the research community for probe and primer design.
In 2020, there were 2175 identified separate coral species, 237 of which are currently endangered. Adaptation and delineation continue to occur in species of coral in order to combat the dangers posed by the climate crisis.
It is projected that over 50% of the world's coral reefs may be destroyed by 2030; as a result, most nations protect them through environmental laws.
