There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Tables with coral gardens painstakingly planted by Georgia Tech researcher Cody Clements. At bottom, the close up table shows Pocillopora corals developing a pattern of death where one individual started dying and then others fell like dominos. This table was a "monoculture." It contained only one species and not a group of species. Tables with groups of species did better than monoculture tables in the same reef area off of Fiji in the Pacific.
