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...
In the deep ocean, hydrothermal vents sustain remarkable animal-microbial symbioses, in which bacteria colonizing animal external or internal tissues use reduced chemicals from venting fluids to perfo...
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents emit geothermal light, yet its ecological role in shaping microbial adaptation remains largely unexplored. To investigate this, we designed a custom cultivation system that...
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)...
Passive acoustic monitoring is a non-invasive tool widely used to assess marine biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics. This study characterizes the soundscape of a sandy-bottom habitat in a shallow coas...
The adoption of exhaust gas cleaning systems (scrubbers) in maritime transport generates a complex metal-laden washwater that may pose a noteworthy threat to marine ecosystems. This study assessed the...
Pollutant transport-reaction dynamics in aquatic systems often exhibit environmental memory, in which the present state depends on antecedent environmental conditions. This study develops a time-fract...
Domoic acid (DA) is an important environmental neurotoxin produced by certain types of marine algae and can accumulate in seafood such as anchovies, sardines, and mussels, which are considered healthy...
Marine organisms have proven to be excellent sources of bioactive natural products with potential therapeutic applications. To date, seventeen marine-derived molecules are on the market for the treatm...
The European Flat Oyster Ostrea edulis, once widespread across European coastal waters, has experienced severe population declines due to overexploitation, habitat degradation and disease, and is now ...
Marine litter has been quantified in several deep-sea environments, including complex habitats such as submarine canyons that host Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems. However, a standardized method for its ...
This study investigates the temporal response of estuarine water quality to progressive implementation of decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DWWTS) in Eufrasina, a traditional community withi...
The evolving LLM landscape requires capabilities beyond simple text generation, prioritizing multi-step reasoning, long-context understanding, and agentic workflows. This shift challenges existing mod...
In long-horizon tasks, decision-relevant state is often scattered across an expanding trajectory, while the action agent must surface it and act. As trajectories grow, task requirements, environment f...
International cooperation is a central component of nuclear accident management. Although feedback on the Fukushima accident has highlighted the long-term economic, social and cultural consequences of...
Deep-sea methane seeps host diverse and abundant animal communities, including an extensive undescribed diversity of small cryptic invertebrates. We describe a new genus and species of neomphalid snai...
Artificial reefs (ARs), a form of anthropogenic intervention in marine habitats, have a long history of deployment and continue to proliferate worldwide. Based on a comprehensive literature review and...
It is assumed that the eventual sink of global microplastic pollution is the deep sea. The primary vector for sediment and particulate pollutants to the deep sea are gravity currents down canyons alon...
Seagrass meadows of Thalassia testudinum are key components of blue carbon ecosystems and effective bioindicators of environmental contamination due to their ability to incorporate both inorganic and ...
Carbon fixation in marine ecosystems is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation, with ocean sediments playing a critical role in carbon sequestration. This process is driven by chemolit...
