Marine-derived bioactive compounds have attracted considerable attention as functional ingredients for food and nutraceutical applications due to their various biological activities. Among marine reso...
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...
Floating wind turbines (FWTs) are key equipment for deep-sea clean energy exploitation, and their structural health condition is directly related to operational safety and energy output. However, FWT ...
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are archetypal chemosynthetic ecosystems, yet the intense geothermal near-infrared (NIR) radiation emitted by black smoker chimneys remains a largely unexplored environment...
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-producing sector globally, yet intensive farming in China has led to severe ecological degradation of coastal marine pastures, including habitat loss, disease o...
Understanding human's responses to extreme environments holds significant importance for space exploration, deep-sea research, and environmental adaptation. Traditionally, human subjects were used to ...
This paper proposes a robust navigation method based on a robust square-root cubature Kalman filter (RSRCKF) to address the accuracy divergence of integrated navigation systems caused by drilling-indu...
Marine pollution is an escalating global concern, and marine mammals are widely recognized as sentinels of cumulative chemical and biological stressors in coastal ecosystems. South American otariids (...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) play critical roles in human growth and development, visual and neurological function, and cardiovascular health, and are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, a...
The Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWAO) is a globally important region, where diverse water masses converge and mix, regulating the Earth's climate while supporting productive fisheries and high marine bi...
Natural products from marine and terrestrial organisms provide an important resource for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Defined as occurring at depths greater than 200 m, most of the ocean, b...
Idiomarina sp. D18 is a deep-sea marine bacterium isolated from seawater at a depth of 5069 m in the western Pacific Ocean. The complete genome of strain D18 consists of a circular chromosome of 2,765...
Many of the oceans' top predatory fishes at low to mid latitudes face an uncertain future as their vulnerable larvae deal with higher environmental temperature and reduced productivity associated with...
The ocean's aphotic interior harbors three-quarters of planktonic bacteria and archaea (prokaryoplankton), whose composition, ecology, and biotechnological potential remain poorly constrained. To addr...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding provides a non-invasive tool for monitoring marine biodiversity in complex ecosystems. In this study, we applied eDNA techniques to investigate the spatiotempora...
Secondary adaptation of amphibians to marine environments is exceptionally rare. The crab-eating frog, Fejervarya cancrivora, is the only known amphibian capable of completing its life cycle in intert...
Microorganisms employ inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) as an ancient strategy for energy and phosphate storage, yet its physiological roles in methanogenic archaea remain largely unexplored. Here, we r...
Viruses dominate the deep-ocean biosphere (>200-m depth) yet remain profoundly understudied. As the most abundant biological entities on Earth, they govern the geochemistry, evolution, and ecology of ...
Anthropogenic disturbances increasingly compromise marine environments, with severe consequences for vulnerable coral ecosystems. While global stressor impacts on stony corals are well-documented, the...
The order Dendrochirotida (Class Holothuroidea) is a species-rich echinoderm group, yet its internal evolutionary history remains poorly resolved due to limited mitogenomic resources. In this study, w...
