作品画像：トゲスギミドリイシ。サンゴはいくつもの個体の集合体だ。一個体だけでも大きな成長をとげるが、そのサンゴから放出された精子と卵子は受精しない。近親相姦を避けるためだ。サンゴたちは大昔からそのような知恵を持ち合わせている。サンゴの産卵がいつも一斉に始まるのはそのためである

100 Underwater Views of the Japanese Archipelago Acropora nobilis. Corals are colonies composed of many individuals. Individuals can grow large but the sperm and eggs produced by a single individual do not fertilize each other. In thie way the coral avoids inbreeding. Corals seem to have known the importance of this principle from long, long ago. That is why corals always spawn at the same time.
