0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | J-P. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T dot-C-O-J-P. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacult. |
0:32.7 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher in Taguata. |
0:45.2 | Within a few decades, global temperatures are expected to climb to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. And that's going to be really bad for corals, according to the latest |
0:49.6 | report out from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. So the recent IPCC report says that up to |
0:55.3 | 1.5, we can expect 10 to 30 percent corals survivorship, and above that, it decreases precipitously. |
1:03.5 | Andrea Gratoli is a distinguished professor at the Ohio State University. Amid the doom and gloom of the |
1:09.0 | IPCC report, Grotoli has some rare good news. |
1:12.6 | Corals may be more adaptable to future conditions than we thought. Her team studied three |
1:17.5 | species of coral from the island of Oahu in Hawaii. They put them in tanks with either heat |
1:22.2 | stress, more acidic water, or both. And what really matters in this study is the one where |
1:26.9 | both increases in temperature |
1:28.5 | and ocean acidification, because that's exactly what's happening on reefs now. |
1:32.7 | 22 months later, they assessed the winners and losers, and they found that on average, more than |
1:37.1 | half the corals survived, even after being punished with those warmer, more acidic waters, the kind |
1:42.4 | they'd face under two degrees of global warming. |
1:45.4 | The corals that survived, two of the three species were actually physiologically performing normally. |
1:52.9 | They were doing more than surviving, right? They were coping. They declamatized. They were doing well. |
1:58.7 | The results appear in the journal's scientific reports. |
