Hydrothermal systems contain diverse alkanes derived from biological and geological processes, providing potential carbon and energy sources for microorganisms. However, cultivated thermophilic alkane...
A marine hydrocarbonoclastic actinobacterium Kocuria flava IOS11 was isolated from 3500 m deep-sea water of the Indian Ocean. The isolate efficiently degraded phenanthrene (250 mg/L) achieving 82 and ...
Finite-context models (FCMs) are widely used for compressing symbolic sequences such as DNA, where predictive performance depends critically on the context length k and smoothing parameter α. In pract...
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...
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...
We present 4DAnyone, a framework for reconstructing 4D humans from an uncalibrated monocular video by generating reconstruction-grade multiview-consistent videos and lifting them into 4D Gaussian Spla...
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...
Although the eastern Mediterranean is recognized as the most heavily invaded marine region worldwide, such incursions have been documented almost exclusively in coastal and upper-shelf habitats. Here,...
Fish oil is a widely consumed nutritional supplement rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and of high economic value, but it is susceptible to economically motivated adulteration, including...
Artificial light at night (ALAN) disrupts the physiology and behavior of coastal marine animals globally, but the cellular mechanisms underlying these effects remain unclear. We defined sleep in the d...
Thecacera sesama Chan & Lee, sp. nov. (Nudibranchia, Polyceridae) is described from north-eastern Taiwan based on an integrative taxonomic approach combining morphological and molecular data. The new ...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized biodiversity monitoring by enabling species detection from microbes to megafauna without direct observation or capture. Yet most marine eDNA collection syst...
Existing studies highlight the remarkable diversity of life forms inhabiting deep-sea environments, despite the extreme conditions that characterize them. Here, a new family of gorgonian octocorals is...
The northwestern Pacific (NWP) encompasses diverse oceanographic regimes, with the confluence of the warm Kuroshio and the cold Oyashio forming a seasonally shifting ecotone characterized by strong en...
In deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems, inorganic sulfur compounds serve as key energy sources for microbes through oxidation, reduction, or disproportionation reactions. However, to date, the bacteria t...
The taxonomic classification of sea spiders (Arthropoda: Pycnogonida) includes 11 distinct families, mostly characterized by different combinations of presence/absence of the cephalic appendages, the ...
Isidoidae Heestand Saucier, France & Watling, 2021 is a rare octocoral family currently represented by a single genus and species, Isidoides armata Nutting, 1910 recorded in the western Pacific Ocean....
Robust biodiversity monitoring is essential for the management of UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites; yet, systematic assessments of ichthyofaunal communities remain limited. Here, we apply environme...
From 2020 to 2024, The Institut Mauritanien de Recherches Océanographiques et des Pêche (IMROP) and the Senckenberg Research Institute conducted five joint expeditions, exploring the marine biodiversi...
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...
