Adaptive mechanisms of the deep-sea coral Polymyces wellsi (Flabellidae, Scleractinia) illuminate strategies for global climate change
An oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) typically occurs in the tropical western Pacific and is characterized by an unfavorably low pH, a rather low oxygen content and extreme food limitation. Understanding how deep-sea corals survive in these challenging conditions, especially how calcification occurs at dept...
