The introduction of invasive species into marine environments is a global crisis, driving significant biodiversity loss. Here, we report the first record of a non-native hermatypic coral in Venezuela,...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely distributed endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDCs) in aquatic ecosystems. Larimichthys polyactis is an economically important fish species in China's nearshore waters, char...
Microplastic (MP) contamination is a notable environmental challenge affecting marine ecosystems. However, its repercussions on the reproductive success of sea turtles remain inadequately elucidated. ...
Marine microbiomes play a crucial role in oceanic ecosystems, influencing biogeochemical cycles, climate regulation, and marine biodiversity. Accurate characterization of these microbial communities r...
Human influence on Antarctic marine ecosystems is a growing concern, despite limited available information. In this study, we assessed the effects of anthropogenic pollution on free-living nematode co...
The proliferation of antibiotic resistance in marine ecosystems represents a critical One Health challenge, particularly within coastal habitats that receive anthropogenic inputs. This study presents ...
Mangroves represent a particularly vulnerable coastal ecosystem to the problem of marine litter. However, research addressing the impact of macroscopic litter on mangrove crabs remains limited. The ai...
Ocean acidification (OA) driven by increasing atmospheric CO2 is altering marine biodiversity. However, impacts of OA on ecosystem functioning at the community level, including calcification, primary ...
Biomolecular sequence models are increasingly reused outside the studies in which they were introduced, but public checkpoints rarely preserve the execution context needed to inspect source-defined be...
Pharmaceutical contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a growing concern for marine biodiversity and human health. We have detected six different non-steroideal anti-inflamatory drugs (carprofen, ibupr...
The Arabian Gulf is a semi-enclosed sea with shallow waters. Its marine fauna must cope with extreme and recurring environmental conditions (high summer temperatures, hypersalinity, hypoxia). In addit...
Oceanic submesoscale currents dominate the vertical exchanges of heat, biological nutrients and carbon between the shallow and the deep ocean and strongly influence the lateral dispersion of biogeoche...
Seaweed cultivation is gaining global significance due to its nutritional, pharmaceutical, and environmental benefits. However, large-scale commercialization faces challenges such as processing ineffi...
The Arctic Ocean is increasingly stressed by anthropogenic pollution and rapid environmental change. River discharge plays a crucial role in this transition by delivering freshwater, nutrients, carbon...
Pacific marine ecosystems are increasingly threatened by climate change, overfishing, and pollution. However, conservation science and marine research frequently overlook intergenerational Indigenous ...
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...
Microplastics have become a ubiquitous environmental contaminant in natural waters, raising significant concerns regarding aquatic ecosystem health and potential human exposure. A comprehensive synthe...
Effective autonomous monitoring of marine litter is vital to reduce marine pollution and protect marine ecosystems. However, current underwater detection systems face significant challenges, primarily...
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...
Trace elements are a persistent threat to Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, where anthropogenic pressures continue to increase. Although biomarker-based approaches are widely used in marine biomonitor...
