Professor: A recent study in marine biology has yielded some surprising results regarding coral reefs. Researchers found that certain species of coral can actually communicate with each other chemically when threatened by predators. They release specific chemical signals into the water, which alerts neighboring corals to activate their defense mechanisms, such as retracting their polyps. This discovery suggests a much more complex and cooperative ecosystem than previously understood. It highlights the importance of chemical signaling for survival in these underwater communities.
