Anthropogenic disturbances increasingly compromise marine environments, with severe consequences for vulnerable coral ecosystems. While global stressor impacts on stony corals are well-documented, the...
The order Dendrochirotida (Class Holothuroidea) is a species-rich echinoderm group, yet its internal evolutionary history remains poorly resolved due to limited mitogenomic resources. In this study, w...
Recent advances in video generation enable a new paradigm for 3D scene creation: generating camera-controlled videos that simulate scene walkthroughs, then lifting them to 3D via feed-forward reconstr...
Urban air quality forecasting is challenging because pollutant concentrations are nonlinear, nonstationary, spatiotemporally dependent, and often affected by anomalous observations caused by traffic c...
This script offers an implementation-oriented introduction to deep learning methods for solving and estimating high-dimensional dynamic stochastic models in economics and finance. Its starting point i...
Polymetallic sulfide deposits produced at hydrothermal vent fields are targets for mining exploitation along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, threatening the functioning and resilience of vent ecosystems that ...
Marine pollution in the Mediterranean has far-reaching consequences for the marine environment, wildlife and human health. Emerging contaminants (ECs) and their metabolites are increasingly recognized...
Coral reef ecosystems in the South China Sea (SCS) represent globally significant biodiversity hotspots but are increasingly threatened by environmental change and anthropogenic pressures. In this stu...
Seamount ecosystems are increasingly exposed to rapid oceanographic change, including warming waters, declining oxygen concentrations, and the upward migration of carbonate saturation horizons. Togeth...
Marine microorganisms are vital to biogeochemical cycles and food web dynamics, with their community structure shaped by environmental factors such as temperature, light, and salinity. While microbial...
Understanding the current and future trajectories of critical habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management, especially in semi-enclosed environments such as the Mediter...
The complex ocean disturbances in ocean engineering have long constrained the precise autonomous navigation of intelligent marine vehicles, such as surface vessels and underwater vehicles. Nevertheles...
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal that biomagnifies through food webs, posing ecological and human health risks. The anchovy (Engraulis ringens), a key forage fish in the Humboldt Current System, sustains...
The use of shotcrete is a critical support technique in ocean engineering structures. However, it often exhibits low chloride and salt erosion resistance under ocean environmental conditions and poor ...
Reports of cryptic species have increased in recent decades, driven by advances in molecular studies and accessibility of DNA sequencing, resulting in integrative taxonomy as the standard for species ...
Antimicrobial resistance studies have focused on clinical bacteria, neglecting the role of resistant isolates in natural environments. However, oceans are daily contaminated with high loads of antimic...
Microplastics (MPs) contaminate marine environments from surface waters to deep sediments. Approximately half of global plastic production consists of low-density polymers that should float in seawate...
Incidental capture of sharks by fisheries is common, making it critical to assess species' physiological and behavioural stress responses and post-release survival. Previous studies have examined bloo...
The thousands of oil and gas (OG) platforms placed at sea for fossil fuel extraction have introduced new hard substrate to the marine environment. Over time, these structures can become colonized by a...
Optical trawl surveys provide a non-invasive method for quantifying groundfish populations and can be used to complement or enhance traditional bottom trawl survey data. This protocol describes the Sc...
