Researchers at Queensland University of Technology have discovered a three-phase biological process that allows coral fragments to reattach to reefs, offering new insights for global restoration efforts. The study, published in Royal Society Open Science, highlights species-specific differences that affect attachment speed and strength. This finding could help predict which corals will recover best in damaged ecosystems.
