[Coral-List] New Paper: Resilient corals in the Phoenix Islands

[Phillip Dustan]

Guess this is what we call Evolution by Natural Selection - a classic case
study.
Nice to know that corals still have it within their powers to adapt to
changes in selection pressure.
If we'd only give them half a chance they'd be fine.
As it is, they will most probably outlast humanity....
