The escalating threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has created an urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics du...
The evolution of El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) under past and future climate change and its influence on marine ecosystems is highly debated. To examine links between tropical climate variabilit...
There is a common misconception among ocean scientists and policy makers that mesopelagic (200-1000 m) food webs are an unexploited "final frontier" of living marine resources. It is true that there a...
Tropical coastal ecosystems are rapidly degrading due to climate change and local pressures, while current monitoring efforts remain fragmented, habitat specific, and disconnected from management. Thi...
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have drawn global attention and are ubiquitously detected in marine environments. Seamounts, prominent seafloor features with high biodiversity, may be hotspots for ...
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 ...
The ocean carbon cycle spans multiple scales and reservoirs, challenging efforts to build a coherent picture and fostering misconceptions or fragmented narratives in science and public discourse. Comm...
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...
Cigarette butts (CBs) are among the most pervasive anthropogenic litter globally, posing significant environmental challenges due to their toxic chemical constituents and cellulose acetate filters. In...
Many materials create new habitats for microbial colonization and the persistence of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Despite this, comparative studies addressing the microbial diversity and pathogeni...
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...
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...
This paper presents an active acoustics dataset derived from the French component of the PIRATA (Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic) program in the Tropical Atlantic and the...
Mismatches between ecological time and geologic time complicate our ability to effectively compare contemporary ecosystem changes with those of the past. We amassed sub-decadal paleoecological data fr...
Deep-sea hydrothermal sediments represent critical zones for archaea-driven biogeochemical cycling, yet the ecological differentiation of archaeal communities across hydrothermal gradients remains poo...
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...
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) as well as current-use pesticides (CUPs) are considered to be contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), but there is limited information that exists a...
Euphausiids play important roles in ecosystems worldwide, transferring energy from primary producers to secondary consumers. Antarctic krill are the most abundant euphausiid on Earth and play importan...
Marine pollution is an escalating global concern, and marine mammals are widely recognized as sentinels of cumulative chemical and biological stressors in coastal ecosystems. South American otariids (...
The Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWAO) is a globally important region, where diverse water masses converge and mix, regulating the Earth's climate while supporting productive fisheries and high marine bi...
