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...
Mercury (Hg) is a global contaminant that biomagnifies in food webs, raising concerns for food safety, fisheries exploitation, and wildlife conservation. Fish, including apex predators like sharks, ar...
Hydrological dynamics are fundamental drivers of estuarine ecosystem structure and functioning, directly regulating fish assemblage abundance, species richness and functional redundancy. Using a 24-ye...
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...
Understanding mercury dynamics in invasive marine predators is essential for evaluating both ecological risks and human consumption safety. This study quantified total mercury (THg) and methylmercury ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are globally recognised as contaminants of emerging concern due to their persistence, toxicity, endocrine-disrupting and immunosuppressive effects. Because o...
Deep-sea hydrothermal sediments represent critical zones for archaea-driven biogeochemical cycling, yet the ecological differentiation of archaeal communities across hydrothermal gradients remains poo...
The Arctic and sub-Arctic are warming at least three times faster than the global average, altering terrestrial carbon delivery to the oceans and marine carbon cycling. The sequestration of such carbo...
We study robust parameter estimation in sinusoidal regression models within a least absolute deviations (LAD) framework. While classical approaches rely predominantly on least-squares formulations, th...
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal that biomagnifies through food webs, posing ecological and human health risks. The anchovy (Engraulis ringens), a key forage fish in the Humboldt Current System, sustains...
With advances in global biodiversity data sharing, particularly following the Census of Marine Life, understanding of marine biodiversity has improved but remains incomplete. The Ocean Biodiversity In...
Natural estuarine morphology exerts strong control over tidal propagation. Human activities, such as dredging and land reclamation, modify the natural geometry, altering tidal dynamics and the ecosyst...
The increasing accumulation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) waste in the environment poses a growing threat to natural ecosystems due to its resistance to degradation. In this study, bacterial isol...
Identifying the causal effects of socioeconomic determinants on population health is of many great interests - from statistical methodology development to public health practitioners and policy develo...
As immunotherapies become standard cancer treatments, it is increasingly important to identify a patient's immune profile, which encompasses the activity of immune cells within the tumor microenvironm...
Urbanization is rapidly expanding along the world's coasts, transforming natural ecosystems into increasingly uniform artificial environments. Yet, the patterns and processes shaping marine biodiversi...
