Diatoms frequently dominate seasonal phytoplankton blooms and contribute ~40% of marine primary production. Viruses drive phytoplankton mortality and bloom collapse, yet how viruses regulate diatom bl...
Models for droughts draw on a wide range of meteorological and hydrological inputs. Stakeholders classify droughts according to different purposes and priorities, and accordingly rely on different mea...
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and antibiotics, persist i...
We apply ordinal-pattern analysis and permutation entropy (PE) to satellite-derived chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), sea surface temperature (SST), and mixed-layer depth (MLD) data to investigate the spatiotemp...
At the subantarctic islands of South Georgia, albatrosses and petrels occupy a range of trophic niches, from zooplanktivore to top predator. Interspecific variation in mercury (Hg) contamination is th...
Understanding mercury dynamics in invasive marine predators is essential for evaluating both ecological risks and human consumption safety. This study quantified total mercury (THg) and methylmercury ...
Sponges, phylum Porifera, are long-lived and basal-branching metazoans that play important roles in ocean biogeochemistry and host diverse microbial communities. Siliceous sponges form a major clade o...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are globally recognised as contaminants of emerging concern due to their persistence, toxicity, endocrine-disrupting and immunosuppressive effects. Because o...
Coastal wetlands are crucial "blue carbon" ecosystems. Previous studies primarily focus on vertical carbon sequestration in carbon sink assessments, often overlooking the key pathway of lateral carbon...
Deep-sea hydrothermal sediments represent critical zones for archaea-driven biogeochemical cycling, yet the ecological differentiation of archaeal communities across hydrothermal gradients remains poo...
The Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly, causing shifts in species composition and distributions. While a future "jellification" is projected on a pan-Arctic scale and within the Atlantic Gateway, we ide...
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...
The modern manufacturing industry is investing in new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data analytics, cloud computing and cybersecurity to cope with system complexity, increase ...
We study robust parameter estimation in sinusoidal regression models within a least absolute deviations (LAD) framework. While classical approaches rely predominantly on least-squares formulations, th...
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal that biomagnifies through food webs, posing ecological and human health risks. The anchovy (Engraulis ringens), a key forage fish in the Humboldt Current System, sustains...
While chemosymbiosis offers deep-sea bathymodioline mussels a critical metabolic advantage, this dependence makes them vulnerable when removed from their native environment, and their early post-recov...
With advances in global biodiversity data sharing, particularly following the Census of Marine Life, understanding of marine biodiversity has improved but remains incomplete. The Ocean Biodiversity In...
Natural estuarine morphology exerts strong control over tidal propagation. Human activities, such as dredging and land reclamation, modify the natural geometry, altering tidal dynamics and the ecosyst...
Global fisheries are under increasing pressure from overfishing and climate change, threatening marine biodiversity and food security. Disentangling the impacts of these two drivers is essential for s...
Climate change and invasive species both independently threaten marine biodiversity but can also interact. Invasive species often possess traits that not only promote their success in novel environmen...
