Marine systems worldwide are suffering escalating impacts from biological invasions, with increasing threats projected for the future. Despite substantial financial investments in managing marine inva...
Research on sea spiders in China is relatively scarce and there is a severe shortage of regional basic data. In earlier studies, there was a lack of attention given to this small group and museums hou...
Larval migration plays an essential role in determining the distribution and evolution of invertebrate animals endemic to hydrothermal vents-disjunct and ephemeral habitats in the deep sea. However, t...
The two-dimensional propagation of small-amplitude waves through an infinite periodic array of freely-floating rectangular floes is considered under the assumptions of inviscid linearised wave theory....
Increasing global demand for nickel, an essential metal in low-carbon technologies and stainless steel, is driving a surge in mining in strongholds of tropical biodiversity. We use a global mine-by-mi...
The existence of allocations of indivisible goods that are simultaneously fair (envy-free up to one item (EF1)) and efficient (Pareto optimal (PO)) when agents have monotone submodular valuations has ...
The release of heavy metals from commercial deep-sea mining is likely to be a long-term process lasting decade, and therefore fish communities are actually exposed to a chronic, ongoing stressor. Howe...
While Bayesian methods are increasingly used in clinical research, confusion persists as to whether Bayesian designs are affected by repeated interim analyses, and how such effects should be evaluated...
The subseafloor biosphere is one of the largest ecosystems on Earth, hosting dense populations of microbial cells. Microbial activity is critical to the Earth's geochemical cycles of major elements su...
Earth observation satellites transform our understanding of Earth's biological, atmospheric, and surface systems. The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, launched in 2024, repres...
Polymetallic sulfide deposits produced at hydrothermal vent fields are targets for mining exploitation along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, threatening the functioning and resilience of vent ecosystems that ...
Understanding the current and future trajectories of critical habitats is essential for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem management, especially in semi-enclosed environments such as the Mediter...
The high dimensionality of microbial diversity data from 'omics observations can be reduced using Machine Learning, with many recent studies showcasing ML utility for exploratory ecological feature fi...
With the help of harsh propagation environments, reliable data acquisition in UWSNs/UGWSNs may suffer from packet loss a few times, extra communication latency, energy scarcity, and retransmission ove...
We study the minimax risk for detecting a sparse elevated-mean Gaussian submatrix inside a larger noisy matrix. When the planted submatrix has size $n\times n$ and the ambient matrix has size $N\times...
Large reasoning models rely on long chain-of-thought generation to solve complex problems, but extended reasoning often incurs substantial computational cost and can even degrade performance due to ov...
An investigation, from a gender perspective, of how students view the ethical implications and societal effects of artificial intelligence is conducted, examining concepts that could have a big influe...
Determining an appropriate sample size for a study is a crucial step in planning scientific research. Appropriate sample size planning avoids both inadequate and inflated sample sizes. Inflated sample...
