Die Ozeane sind groß. Unendlich belastbar sind sie aber nicht. 🌊 Meeresschutz, Rohstoffabbau, Fischerei oder #Klimaschutz… was hat Vorrang? Darüber diskutieren Expert*innen gemeinsam mit dem Publikum beim „15. Umwelt im Gespräch“ des #ECH der Uni Wien. 🗨️ 📍 @nhmwien.bsky.social 📅 16. Juni, 18 Uhr ⤵️

Coral reefs are increasingly threaten by marine heatwaves, but what pushes corals past their breaking point? New in @ScienceAdvances @science.org: we found that corals can lose the microscopic system that helps move oxygen around their tissues during heat stress 🪸 doi.org/10.1126/scia...

Acute temperature effects on cilia beating increase coral deoxygenation

Ciliary flows buffer coral O2 supply under heat stress until a tipping point, above which hypoxia and tissue failure are induced.

Am 24.04. findet wieder die Lange Nacht der Forschung statt – auch bei uns an der Uni Wien in der Schlachthausgasse im 3. Bezirk. Es gibt viel Spannendes auch für Kinder zu entdecken, auszuprobieren und zu bestaunen.
