Microplastic exposure in filter-feeding megafauna is commonly assessed using seawater sampling, despite growing evidence that biological aggregation processes may strongly influence particle availabil...
Microorganisms dominate life in the hadal zone, yet extreme sampling difficulty and low biomass have precluded characterization of their in situ activities. Here, we analyze microbiome samples collect...
Access to modern electricity and clean cooking technologies remains uneven across much of Africa, despite the continent's abundant biomass resources, which have the potential to enhance energy securit...
Coral reef islands face escalating degradation due to extreme substrate infertility (coral sand) and waste management challenges in isolated marine environments. High-oil food waste composting offers ...
The functioning of high-diversity ecosystems, such as coral reefs, is intrinsically tied to the integrity and efficiency of the trophic pathways within these systems. Coral reef productivity depends, ...
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...
Black carbon (BC) buried in marginal sea sediments represents a significant global carbon sink, yet the relative contributions of different transport pathways and source materials under varying climat...
Seaweeds are valuable marine resources rich in polysaccharides and polyphenols. Carbon dots (CDs) from Gracilaria salicornia (GS-CDs), Halymenia dilatata (HD-CDs), Sargasum polycystum (SP-CDs), Spatog...
Mesophotic coral reef ecosystems, typically occurring between 30 and 150 m depth, are increasingly recognised as important habitats that support marine biodiversity and ecosystem function. Although mo...
Giant Antarctic iceberg calving is projected to increase with climate change, affecting ocean circulation, nutrient supply, and carbon cycling. These icebergs can stimulate primary production and infl...
Beyond its relevance for evolutionary biology and genetics, hybridisation is increasingly recognised as an ecological process that can modify community structure, yet the demographic contribution of a...
Microbial chemoautotrophy has the potential to sustain ecosystems at depth, contribute to global carbon sequestration, and ameliorate the currently unbalanced marine carbon budget. However, an underst...
The 2016 El Niño was the strongest warm-phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation recorded to date over the 21st century, leading to the development of severe ocean surface temperature anomalies - mar...
Marine hatchetfish (Stomiiformes: Sternoptychidae) are among the most abundant and diverse inhabitants of the mesopelagic zone. Despite their small size, they have a high global biomass and play a cru...
Patience Seamount, within Australia's Huon Marine Park, hosts persistent deep-sea fish aggregations dominated by basketwork eels (Diastobranchus capensis) and orange roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus). ...
This paper presents an active acoustics dataset derived from the French component of the PIRATA (Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic) program in the Tropical Atlantic and the...
Marine-derived bioactive compounds have attracted considerable attention as functional ingredients for food and nutraceutical applications due to their various biological activities. Among marine reso...
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...
Natural microbial carotenoids are increasingly recognized as alternatives to synthetic pigments because of their broad applications in the food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, feed, and aqua...
Wood constitutes the largest reservoir of biogenic carbon on Earth, yet remarkably few animals can exploit it. While terrestrial wood-feeders like termites rely on highly diverse gut microbiomes, xylo...
