Les magnifiques couleurs des coraux proviennent souvent des êtres qui vivent en symbiose avec eux (la symbiose est une association de dépendance mutuellement profitable entre deux êtres). [...] Le blanchissement des coraux révèle une rupture de ce fragile équilibre symbiotique : lorsque les coraux perdent leurs zooxanthelles, leurs tissus se décolorent tant qu'ils laissent apparaître leur squelette blanc de carbonate de calcium. 1, record 2, French, - blanchissement%20corallien
