Environmental and biological factors influence element bioaccumulation in top predators, potentially impacting wildlife health. This study evaluated whole blood (n = 60) and lanugo (n = 61) total merc...
Eco-engineering practices are increasingly implemented in urbanised marine coastal zones to enhance local marine biodiversity, as part of biodiversity offsetting efforts in areas impacted by human act...
The deep sea contains a wealth of potential mineral resources, many of which are being investigated for commercial exploitation. Exploration and technical tests started in the late 1970s with an initi...
Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique en...
Ocean iron fertilization (OIF) is being discussed as a potential carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategy1. Yet the trade-offs between climate benefits and ecological costs remain poorly understood2-4. H...
Chemical contamination threatens marine biodiversity, but detecting chronic sublethal effects on early-life development remains challenging. In this study, we developed a chronic larval bioassay based...
The origin and maintenance of marine biodiversity remain poorly understood, particularly in highly connected oceanic environments where extensive dispersal is expected to limit population differentiat...
Although sea-ice ridges are prominent features of the Arctic Ocean, very little is known about their role as habitats and in biogeochemical cycles. Here, we show that ridges provide complex sea-ice ha...
Symbiotic relationships are ubiquitous across nature and play key roles in the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem function. The Myzostomida are an enigmatic clade of marine annelids that live a...
Accurate classification of sea turtle species is crucial for ecological monitoring and conservation, yet traditional visual classification methods remain limited by underwater imaging challenges such ...
Oil pollution is one of the most persistent and harmful anthropogenic pressures on global marine and coastal ecosystems. Accidental discharges, chronic leaks, operational spills from shipping, offshor...
The deep sea hosts approximately 15% of all fish species, but the difficulty of sampling limits our knowledge, causing large gaps in geographic distribution, and many deep-sea fish groups still requir...
Public engagement approaches in marine science are becoming more common and are increasingly perceived as an important way to develop strong partnerships, improve ocean literacy and advocacy, and answ...
Mangroves provide vital coastal ecosystem services, including shoreline protection, fisheries support, biodiversity conservation, and blue carbon sequestration. Using multi-temporal remote sensing and...
By combining satellite technology with ecological risk analysis, this study establishes a scalable global framework for tracking the environmental effects of chronic oil slicks. We used Sentinel-1 SAR...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used for assessing marine biodiversity, yet its potential for monitoring seasonal dynamics in tropical coral reef ecosystems requires further systematic invest...
Seaweeds are foundational components of marine ecosystems and hold significant value in global aquaculture. Accurate and efficient identification of seaweed species is critical for biodiversity monito...
Ocean warming and acidification pose significant threats to marine biodiversity and human nutrition by fundamentally altering the biochemical composition of marine organisms. A primary concern is the ...
Coral diseases are increasing in prevalence, accelerating the global decline of tropical reefs, which threatens over 25% of marine biodiversity and vital ecosystem services for human societies. While ...
Marine debris has become a serious global environmental issue due to its increasing impacts on marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health. Large amounts of waste enter the oceans each year from...
