Ships of opportunity provide a platform to assess marine pollution without dedicated field campaigns, offering a cost-effective means to expand monitoring coverage. In this study, a microplastic sampl...
Eco-engineering practices are increasingly implemented in urbanised marine coastal zones to enhance local marine biodiversity, as part of biodiversity offsetting efforts in areas impacted by human act...
Environmental and biological factors influence element bioaccumulation in top predators, potentially impacting wildlife health. This study evaluated whole blood (n = 60) and lanugo (n = 61) total merc...
Global superanoxia is widely accepted as one of the main drivers of the end–Permian Mass Extinction (EPME) alongside, oceanic acidification, productivity collapse, and toxification. However, modeling ...
Mangroves provide vital coastal ecosystem services, including shoreline protection, fisheries support, biodiversity conservation, and blue carbon sequestration. Using multi-temporal remote sensing and...
Deep-learning emulators have emerged as a promising approach for reducing the computational cost of Earth System Models while potentially improving forecasting skill. Here, we demonstrate the successf...
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...
Characterizing how biodiversity has changed through Earth's history and uncovering the processes that have driven those changes remain a significant challenge. Haar fluctuation analysis, a recently de...
While CO2 fixation by photo- and chemolithoautotrophs is a central process of the global carbon cycle, many organisms also incorporate inorganic carbon into organic compounds through anaplerotic carbo...
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...
This case study compares generalized linear models, generalized additive models, and semi-structured deep distributional regression for analyzing settlement patterns in historical land-cover maps. Usi...
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...
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents and methane seeps host unique animal communities sustained by chemosynthetic symbioses, yet how biological diversification proceeds across these geochemically distinct and ...
The overexploitation of marine resources by commercial fisheries poses significant threats to marine biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) require urgent protection...
Plastic pollution is a growing concern in West Africa's marine environment, yet the processes governing its fate remain poorly understood. The coastline of Côte d'Ivoire is particularly vulnerable due...
Understanding the transport of inorganic mercury (Hg) and the bioaccumulative neurotoxin methylmercury (MeHg) from land into coastal waters is essential for the people and wildlife of the Arctic. Here...
Passive acoustic monitoring is a non-invasive tool widely used to assess marine biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics. This study characterizes the soundscape of a sandy-bottom habitat in a shallow coas...
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...
Although climate-driven changes in ocean circulation are increasingly recognized as key drivers of marine ecosystem structure and dynamics, their consequences for the early life stages of deep-sea fis...
