Shayla Farzan: 我主持了本周关于珊瑚的Brains On节目,并与Eben一起探讨了珊瑚的各种特征,包括珊瑚虫、珊瑚礁的形成以及珊瑚与藻类的共生关系。我还分享了我曾在马里亚纳群岛研究珊瑚礁的经历,以及珊瑚在世界各地的海洋中的多样性。 我们还讨论了珊瑚的结构,包括其坚硬的骨骼和柔软的珊瑚虫,以及珊瑚虫如何通过吸收海水中的矿物质形成骨骼,以及它们如何通过复制自身来形成群体和珊瑚礁。 此外,我还介绍了珊瑚礁作为各种海洋生物家园的重要性,以及珊瑚与藻类之间的互惠共生关系,藻类为珊瑚提供营养,而珊瑚则为藻类提供安全的住所。最后,我们探讨了珊瑚的交流方式,包括通过化学信号和声音进行交流。 Eben: 我参与了关于珊瑚的讨论,分享了我对珊瑚礁的理解,并表达了我对探索珊瑚礁的兴趣。我还参与了关于珊瑚交流方式的讨论,并对珊瑚发出超声波这一发现感到惊讶。 Finnegan: 我提出了关于珊瑚如何交流的核心问题,引发了本次节目的讨论。 Rocko the turtle: 我作为海洋生物,分享了珊瑚礁作为海洋生物家园的重要性,以及珊瑚礁中生物多样性的信息,并补充了关于珊瑚与藻类共生关系的知识。 Camila Rimaldi-Ibañez: 我是一名海洋生物学家,我的研究集中在珊瑚的声音交流上。我解释了珊瑚幼虫如何利用声音寻找珊瑚礁,以及成年珊瑚如何通过移动触手发出超声波。我还解释了珊瑚白化现象,以及如何帮助珊瑚恢复健康。

Shownotes Transcript

Coral is one of the coolest creatures in the ocean. It comes in all shapes, sizes and colors, from bright yellow stars to big round brains. Sometimes, coral looks like rocks or even plants – but did you know it’s actually an animal?

This week, your ears are in for a special treat: Brains On editor Shahla Farzan (a.k.a. world’s biggest coral fan) hosts the show! Join Shahla and co-host Eben as they go on an underwater adventure to learn about coral and the animals that call it home. We’ll also hear from a researcher about how coral might be able to hear and make sounds. All that, plus a rockin’ new mystery sound.
