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...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...
Microplastics have become a ubiquitous environmental contaminant in natural waters, raising significant concerns regarding aquatic ecosystem health and potential human exposure. A comprehensive synthe...
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...
Iron is one of the most important elements of the Earth, yet its bioavailability is limited in oceanic environments. In this context, deep-sea hydrothermal ecosystems represent one of the major source...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Marine litter, particularly plastic pollution, poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Sea turtles are especially vulnerable to plastic ingestion due to their feeding behaviour and migratory ...
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 ...
Xylophaga dorsalis is a common Atlantic-Mediterranean mollusc that plays a crucial role in deep-sea habitats, where it digests wood that reaches the seabed through a unique symbiosis with specialised ...
Pollution in pristine ecosystems is a high concern according that this research evaluates the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in marine sediments from Mackellar and Martel Inlets in Admiralty Bay, K...
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...
Antarctic krill (Euphasia superba) are a key component in the Southern Ocean ecosystem, especially in the Atlantic sector, where the majority of the population is concentrated. The Norwegian commercia...
