Bridging the gap between plant and animal, these marine invertebrates serve as homes to reef fish and share symbiotic relationships with photosynthesizing algae, which provide corals with their nourishment. This stunningly illustrated book profiles the astonishing diversity of the world's coral groups, describing key aspects of their natural history and explaining why coral reefs are critical to the health of our oceans. Representative examples of corals have been selected to illustrate the broad range of species, and the book's lively and informative commentary covers everything from identification to conservation, making it an essential resource for marine biologists, divers, and anyone who is fascinated by these remarkable sea creatures"-- $c Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Coral reef ecology. 650 0 $a Coral reef biology. 650 6 $a EÌcologie des reÌcifs coralliens. 650 6 $a Biologie des reÌcifs coralliens. 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Earth Sciences / Geology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Coral reef biology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00878839 650 7 $a Coral reef ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00878847 700 1 $a Kelley, Russell, $e consultant editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20221025013042.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=705FFAAE542A11ED8B3B8C862AECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
