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...
Fish is widely recognized as a valuable source of high-quality proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential micronutrients. However, these nutritional benefits are increasingly compromised by marine p...
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...
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...
Understanding the acute and longer-term effects of marine heatwaves on coastal ecosystems is critical for predicting their response to future warming. We used a 23-year time series that included two m...
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 ...
Seaweeds are foundational components of marine ecosystems and hold significant value in global aquaculture. Accurate and efficient identification of seaweed species is critical for biodiversity monito...
The emergence of metaverse platforms has created virtual economies that introduce new challenges related to fraud, bot activity, and illicit financial behavior. Despite growing interest in trustworthy...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
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 mesopelagic zone, between 100 and 1000 m depth, contains up to 90% of marine vertebrate biomass. Mesopelagic fishes are key components of these ecosystems through their feeding interactions and pl...
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...
Deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems, critical for global methane and sulphur cycling, require accurate connectivity data for effective conservation planning amid increasing anthropogenic threats. Becau...
Pervasive marine pollution can have devastating effects on ocean health. Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB), Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH), and Organochlorine Pesticides (OCP) are particularly r...
Fisheries can strongly alter marine ecosystem dynamics, influencing the ecology and behaviour of top predators such as cetaceans. At the Tiber River estuary (Tyrrhenian Sea, Western Mediterranean), bo...
