The rise of atmospheric oxygen fundamentally transformed Earth's surface environment and enabled the evolution of complex life. However, the processes driving long-term oxygen fluctuations remain poor...
Fisheries can strongly alter marine ecosystem dynamics, influencing the ecology and behaviour of top predators such as cetaceans. At the Tiber River estuary (Tyrrhenian Sea, Western Mediterranean), bo...
Under its thick ice layer, Europa contains a shielded liquid water ocean where habitable conditions may exist. To effectively assess the habitability of this environment and the implications on putati...
A new species of tubeworm belonging to the genus Hyalopomatus (Serpulidae) is described from the southern Mexican Pacific. It was found in 2024 attached to a seismograph at nearly 1000 m depth. The ne...
Global climate change is profoundly altering Arctic marine biodiversity, yet baseline data on fish assemblages in the central Arctic Ocean remain critically scarce. The Chukchi Borderland-a Pacific-At...
Quantifying the ocean soundscape is crucial for ocean-based seismoacoustic monitoring; it sets a baseline for the kinds and sizes of signals that can be detected above the background noise. As sea ice...
Smart devices and emerging technologies are highly popular devices and technologies that considerably improve our daily living by reducing or replacing human workforces, treating disease, monitoring h...
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...
