The sounds of a healthy reef could be used to encourage coral larvae to recolonize damaged or degraded reefs, according to a study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science on Tuesday. Underwater speakers that play the sounds of the healthy reef, such as fish calls, were found to help coral larvas settle at rates up to seven times higher. In their first days of life, corals make a permanent decision of where they will settle and metamorphose into adults.

In response to COVID-19 and other viral, airborne respiratory infections, experts have recommended increased ventilation in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and other public buildings.

This work may help explain why, in many regions of the world, more people tend to get sick with airborne viruses in winter, when heating systems dry out indoor air. Previous research led by Richard Zare revealed that
