Article Synopsis
- Climate change may worsen sediment and salinity stresses in inshore turbid habitats, impacting coral fertilization and development.
- In experiments, the fertilization rate of Acropora tumida dropped by 50% under combined sediment and salinity stress, while Platygyra carnosa showed no significant impact.
- Abnormal embryonic development increased significantly for both species under stress, and A. tumida faced 50% larval mortality at a lower sediment concentration, raising concerns about coral survival in turbid environments.

Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied the different kinds of soil animals (macrofauna) in Hong Kong and created a project where students and volunteers helped collect information.
- They found 150 different types of these soil animals, mostly millipedes and oligochaetes, and identified 85 of them using special DNA techniques.
- The study results are now shared online to help others learn about soil biodiversity and for future research.
