With the intensified exploration of marine resources, marine bioactive peptides have become one of the research focuses in biomedicine, food science, and materials science because of their structural ...
Habitat condition and area shape global species distributions, with shallow-water reefs hosting a disproportional share of marine biodiversity. Although reef area is a well-established predictor of ma...
Ocean acidification (OA) driven by increasing atmospheric CO2 is altering marine biodiversity. However, impacts of OA on ecosystem functioning at the community level, including calcification, primary ...
The Arabian Gulf is a semi-enclosed sea with shallow waters. Its marine fauna must cope with extreme and recurring environmental conditions (high summer temperatures, hypersalinity, hypoxia). In addit...
Monitoring marine biodiversity requires approaches capable of capturing its spatial and temporal complexity. DNA metabarcoding coupled with Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) is increasingly...
Microplastics have become a ubiquitous environmental contaminant in natural waters, raising significant concerns regarding aquatic ecosystem health and potential human exposure. A comprehensive synthe...
Accurate classification of sea turtle species is crucial for ecological monitoring and conservation, yet traditional visual classification methods remain limited by underwater imaging challenges such ...
Ocean warming and acidification pose significant threats to marine biodiversity and human nutrition by fundamentally altering the biochemical composition of marine organisms. A primary concern is the ...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized biodiversity monitoring by enabling species detection from microbes to megafauna without direct observation or capture. Yet most marine eDNA collection syst...
Marine invertebrates constitute the vast majority of marine biodiversity, and they are extremely diverse and play a key role in marine ecosystems, thus playing an important role at the socioeconomic l...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease defined by persistent synovial inflammation, progressive cartilage and bone erosion, and extra-articular manifestations. Current tre...
Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in marine ecosystems, posing escalating ecotoxicological risks across trophic levels. This review highlights the current knowledge on the sou...
This review systematically analyzes 186 valid data points derived from 157 distinct marine natural small-molecule drug leads discovered in China in the past decade (2015-2024). These compounds have al...
Natural products from marine and terrestrial organisms provide an important resource for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Defined as occurring at depths greater than 200 m, most of the ocean, b...
The accelerating global demand for high-quality protein, coupled with escalating ecological pressures from terrestrial livestock systems, has intensified the search for sustainable alternative protein...
Marine bioactive materials are obtained from diverse organisms, which include algae, sponges, corals, and mollusks. These materials possess unique chemical structures and evolutionary traits that prov...
The Challenger expedition marked a turning point for marine biology, revolutionizing the scientific research of ocean life. It yielded a report of 50 volumes totaling nearly 30,000 pages-a monumental ...
Photosynthetic microorganisms are responsible for primary production at the base of the marine food web and influence global biogeochemistry. Their growth is balanced by mortality processes, including...
With advances in global biodiversity data sharing, particularly following the Census of Marine Life, understanding of marine biodiversity has improved but remains incomplete. The Ocean Biodiversity In...
Climate change and invasive species both independently threaten marine biodiversity but can also interact. Invasive species often possess traits that not only promote their success in novel environmen...
