Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a non-invasive approach for monitoring cetaceans, yet its widespread application from operational platforms requires standardized and feasible sampling workflows. This ...
As a prevalent congener of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) poses significant environmental and health risks due to its persistence and bioaccumulati...
Photosynthetic microorganisms are responsible for primary production at the base of the marine food web and influence global biogeochemistry. Their growth is balanced by mortality processes, including...
Oxygen isotope measurements of seawater (δ18Ow) are an important tool in the study of climate, oceanography, and hydrology, both today and in the past. δ18Ow and salinity are controlled by similar hyd...
Cold-water coral reefs host diverse microbial communities that play key roles in nutrient cycling and deep-sea productivity. Among them, methylotrophic bacteria metabolize and cycle one-carbon (C1) co...
Marine deep-sea environments harbour microorganisms with extraordinary biosynthetic potential, yet their secondary metabolite repertoires remain largely uncharacterised. This study reports the isolati...
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth. Metagenomic data indicates a higher viral abundance of viruses of unicellular eukaryotes in the polar regions, information still not matched...
The exploration of marine environments is crucial, yet the extreme conditions of the deep-sea, combined with the segregated signal processing in current sensor technologies, lead to bulky systems, hig...
Methane (CH4), a key component of combustible ice, is a plentiful yet largely underutilized ocean resource. Its extreme inertness and the complexity of its storage and transportation have severely hin...
Diverse ecosystems on land and in the ocean are thought to be more productive, stable and resistant to change, but these relationships are highly variable across systems and scales. Although the produ...
Efficient uranium extraction from seawater is a critical challenge in advancing sustainable nuclear energy, given the vast but dilute reserves of uranium in oceans. Here, we report a hierarchically po...
Continental slopes, particularly the pockmark and salt diapir regions of the Santos Basin, represent extreme environments characterized by high hydrostatic pressure, low temperatures, elevated salinit...
The Southern Ocean (SO) plays a key role in regulating global biogeochemical cycles and climate, yet microbial genes sustaining its biological activity remain poorly characterized. We introduce a micr...
Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support marine biodiversity and provide essential services to coastal economies. However, they are increasingly threatened by different contaminants, such as poly...
Marine isoprene can be rapidly oxidized once released into the atmosphere, and is suggested to play a significant role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols over remote oceans. The Arctic Oce...
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...
Urbanization is rapidly expanding along the world's coasts, transforming natural ecosystems into increasingly uniform artificial environments. Yet, the patterns and processes shaping marine biodiversi...
