Two Gram-negative, aerobic, motile and rod-shaped bacterial strains, designated D34-3ᵀ and BC02-3-A7ᵀ, were isolated from deep-sea sediments of the eastern Pacific Ocean. Both strains were able to gro...
Spermatozoa represent one of the most sensitive stages of the life cycle in broadcast spawners, as they are directly released into the water column and immediately exposed to environmental contaminant...
Bacteria are a major component of deep-sea communities. Mesoscale changes were observed in the deep western Mediterranean by analysing deposited DNA in four sediment cores from SE Barcelona, at 1050 m...
A novel Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated 502str34T, was isolated from deep-sea sediment. The strain was positive for oxidase, catalase and urea...
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...
As a pervasive form of marine pollution, microplastics (MPs) are widely distributed across coastal and oceanic systems, raising concerns about their ecological impacts. This review provides an evidenc...
The deep-sea biosphere hosts distinctive microbial communities with specialized adaptive traits, yet the mechanisms underpinning their physiological survival remain largely obscure. In this study a no...
Coral reef ecosystems in the South China Sea (SCS) represent globally significant biodiversity hotspots but are increasingly threatened by environmental change and anthropogenic pressures. In this stu...
Reports of cryptic species have increased in recent decades, driven by advances in molecular studies and accessibility of DNA sequencing, resulting in integrative taxonomy as the standard for species ...
Princaxelia Dahl, 1959, is a genus containing predatory pardaliscid amphipods, typically captured in small numbers from hadal trenches (> 6,000 m ocean depth). Here, two new species, Princaxelia maloh...
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 ...
Target capture is widely used to enrich endogenous DNA from calcium phosphate skeletal material in vertebrates, but its performance on calcium carbonate hard parts widely produced by invertebrates rem...
The Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) and the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic activity, however the relative influen...
Boundary controllers have been recently proposed in the literature, via modal decomposition, to achieve $H^1$ stabilization of linear parabolic equations in two and three dimensions. In one dimension ...
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...
Natural microbial carotenoids are increasingly recognized as alternatives to synthetic pigments because of their broad applications in the food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, feed, and aqua...
The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is known for its slow metabolism and deep-sea habitat. It is thought to be the longest-lived vertebrate on Earth, with an estimated lifespan of 392 ± 120 ...
Shewanella sp. FeAMO (=MCCC M27737) and Shewanella sp. JL219SE-S6 (=MCCC M29292) were isolated from hydrothermal sediments from Wocan-1 hydrothermal field (6°22'N, 60°32'E, at a depth of 2995 m) and T...
Marine algal viruses exhibit a high level of diversity, and closely related viruses targeting the same algal host species can stably coexist. Here we report an example of a single virus-host system co...
