Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is proposed as a potential tool to remove atmospheric CO2 and mitigate climate change. However, the effects of OAE on marine protozoa remain poorly understood. In th...
Redfish species of the genus Sebastes are ecologically and commercially valuable components of North Atlantic and Arctic ecosystems. Accurate species identification within this group has long been con...
As a prevalent congener of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) poses significant environmental and health risks due to its persistence and bioaccumulati...
The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) and the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activity, however the relative influen...
Deep-sea ecosystems harbor extraordinary viral diversity, yet their potential as reservoirs of catalytic RNAs remains unexplored. Here, we systematically analyzed RNA viromes from 291 globally distrib...
Accurate estimation of cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs), the percentage of deaths attributable to each cause in a population, is essential for global health monitoring. Challenge arises beca...
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...
Azooxanthellate scleractinian corals, which lack symbiotic dinoflagellates, occur from shallow waters to deep-sea environments. In deep-sea benthic ecosystems, they serve as foundation species and are...
The seafloor is the ultimate sink for most litter worldwide. Although significant efforts have been made over the past two decades to assess the impact of litter on marine ecosystems, collecting quant...
Cold-water coral reefs host diverse microbial communities that play key roles in nutrient cycling and deep-sea productivity. Among them, methylotrophic bacteria metabolize and cycle one-carbon (C1) co...
Petroleum pollution poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, extending its impact to deep-sea environments. Cold seeps represent unique deep-sea ecosystems and are natural hotspots for studyin...
Natural estuarine morphology exerts strong control over tidal propagation. Human activities, such as dredging and land reclamation, modify the natural geometry, altering tidal dynamics and the ecosyst...
Microplastic pollution is a major environmental problem affecting ecosystems, wildlife and people worldwide. Microplastics are solid synthetic polymer particles > 5 mm, insoluble in water and potentia...
Global fisheries are under increasing pressure from overfishing and climate change, threatening marine biodiversity and food security. Disentangling the impacts of these two drivers is essential for s...
Primary production in coastal upwelling regions has often been presumed to be supported primarily by allochthonous nutrients, but inconsistent nutrient delivery and the metabolic cost of nitrate assim...
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...
Lanternfishes (Myctophidae) are one of the most abundant and species diverse orders inhabiting the mesopelagic zone. Exploitation of marine resources has recently attracted increased interest. It is t...
Diverse ecosystems on land and in the ocean are thought to be more productive, stable and resistant to change, but these relationships are highly variable across systems and scales. Although the produ...
Zooplankton play a crucial role in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles, and their rapid responses to environmental changes make them effective indicators of ecosystem health. However, limited d...
Coastal ecosystems are threatened by global change but remain understudied despite their importance for biodiversity and human society. For instance, most coastal studies and monitoring programs focus...
