A large geographical region with a specific range of temperatures and precipitation, and the organisms that are adapted to those conditions of temperature and precipitation. Coral reefs form in clear, warm coastal waters in tropical areas. Tiny animals (polyps) and algae have a mutualistic relationship. Polyps secrete calcium carbonate shells, which become coral reefs. Core Case Study: Why Should We Care about Coral Reefs?. CHAPTER. Too Much of a Good Thing?. Elephant populations in southern Africa declined sharply due to hunting but have made overwhelming comebacks within nature reserves and parks.. Some worry that elephant overpopulation is causing a decline in local biodiversity and damage to farms and infrastructure..
