Global plastic production surpassed 436 million metric tonnes in 2023, with polyolefins, polyethylene and polypropylene, and polyesters, polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene adipate terephthala...
A deep-sea alkaline lipase, MyLip2, fromMoritella yayanosiiwas identified from a metagenomic library of 1,048,576 genes. The wild-type enzyme preferred medium- to long-chain p-nitrophenyl esters, with...
Anaerobic oxidation of methane is a key process reducing methane emissions in oxygen-depleted marine environments such as deep-sea cold seeps. However, the stability and adaptability of microbial inte...
Throughout the Pacific Islands land use changes have resulted in intensified contaminant impacts that threaten the integrity of coastal ecosystems and communities. Pu'uloa (Pearl Harbor) in Hawai'i of...
The development of effective methodologies for extracting microplastics from marine matrices is key for designing appropriate measures to reduce and mitigate their effects. The diversity of protocols ...
The Mediterranean Basin is facing an increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires driven by climate change, raising concern about their off-site impacts on marine ecosystems. This study provides fo...
As both iconic Arctic megafauna and long-exploited marine resources, walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) have left an abundant osteological record across the Holarctic. However, distinguishing sex, ontogenet...
Real-world computer-use tasks often span multiple applications and devices, requiring agents to coordinate heterogeneous environments under dynamic runtime failures. Existing multi-device agent system...
Camera traps have become a core tool in ecological research, enabling large-scale, noninvasive monitoring of wildlife populations and behavior. By automatically recording animals as they pass within v...
During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), there was an increase in global temperatures and emissions of isotopically depleted carbon, resulting in a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE). ...
Ocean monitoring is essential for understanding climate change and marine ecosystem dynamics, yet achieving comprehensive global coverage remains a challenge in oceanography. Current technologies face...
Bacterial adaptation to fluctuations in salinity includes the intracellular accumulation of organic compounds called compatible solutes (CS) such as the amino acid derivatives ectoine and 5-hydroxyect...
The deep ocean hosts autochthonous pressure-adapted microorganisms that are unique to this environment, as well as allochthonous pressure-sensitive members transported from shallow depths by vertical ...
The increasing demand for sustainable aquafeed ingredients has driven the exploration of alternative protein sources to replace conventional fishmeal and soybean meal. Defatted algae cake (DAC), a by-...
For Small Island Developing States, including those in the Caribbean, the deep sea remains a challenging ecosystem to study as it requires expensive technology and specialised expertise. The deep-sea ...
Deep learning (DL) is a powerful tool to extract ecological information from large image datasets efficiently and consistently. However, applying these methods remains challenging, due in part to the ...
The discovery of three gastropod species (Mollusca) in biogenic sediments dredged from mesophotic and bathyal habitats off the coasts of Yemen and Sudan marks a noteworthy contribution to the inventor...
Molluscs, especially octopus, is a nutritious seafood, containing high levels of proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals. However, marine pollution with heavy metals such as mercury (Hg)...
