The functioning of high-diversity ecosystems, such as coral reefs, is intrinsically tied to the integrity and efficiency of the trophic pathways within these systems. Coral reef productivity depends, ...
Deep‑sea chemosynthetic and reducing habitats, including hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, methane seeps, whale falls, wood falls, organic falls and other reducing sedimentary environments, represent ke...
Carbon fixation in marine ecosystems is a vital process that contributes to climate regulation, with ocean sediments playing a critical role in carbon sequestration. This process is driven by chemolit...
Giant Antarctic iceberg calving is projected to increase with climate change, affecting ocean circulation, nutrient supply, and carbon cycling. These icebergs can stimulate primary production and infl...
Deep-sea hydrothermal sediments represent critical zones for archaea-driven biogeochemical cycling, yet the ecological differentiation of archaeal communities across hydrothermal gradients remains poo...
AbstractBiological diversity is widely recognized as a key driver of ecosystem function, yet the mechanisms underlying biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) relationships in natural systems, particula...
For the first time, species of Katianiridae are recorded from the Southwest Atlantic Ocean: Natalianira bicornuta sp. nov. from the Mar del Plata submarine canyon and Natalianira megalocera sp. nov. f...
Documenting distributional shifts in populations is critical for understanding ecosystem function and developing effective conservation strategies, particularly for rare and understudied species. The ...
Two species of the deep-sea squat lobster family Munidopsidae are reported as new additions to the Japanese marine fauna on the basis of specimens collected from the Sea of Kumano (off Kii Peninsula),...
Wood constitutes the largest reservoir of biogenic carbon on Earth, yet remarkably few animals can exploit it. While terrestrial wood-feeders like termites rely on highly diverse gut microbiomes, xylo...
The global ocean receives an estimated 15 teragrams of plastic annually, yet less than 0.2% of this mass is detected floating at the surface. This imbalance, known as the "missing plastic paradox," in...
Desulfobulbaceae sp. nov. strain B35 is a novel mesophilic, anaerobic, chemolithoautotrophic bacterium isolated from the Lucky Strike deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, growing auto...
Research on the use of medications during pregnancy has two primary goals: to detect signals that medications may be harmful to a pregnant individual or fetus, and to support better treatment of pregn...
To address the escalating energy and latency demands of machine-learning workloads, we introduce a blueprint for an energy-efficient and fast thermodynamic computing stack that leverages stochastic an...
The Pleosporales order is the largest in the Ascomycota phylum and is distributed worldwide, with a wide range of hosts and habitats. Members of this order are closely associated with the aquatic envi...
Biodiversity loss threatens ecosystem services on which humanity depends, yet the strength, form and context-dependency of biodiversity-ecosystem service and biodiversity-ecosystem function relationsh...
