Since the year 2000, oceanic research has seen a surge in data collection, with approximately 500,000 sets of measurements for a single variable (e.g., temperature) recorded annually. Yet, further adv...
Sea cucumbers, as typical representatives of deep-sea benthic animals, possess significant scientific and economic importance. This investigation examined the genomic structural characteristics and ge...
Anaerobic oxidation of methane is a key process reducing methane emissions in oxygen-depleted marine environments such as deep-sea cold seeps. However, the stability and adaptability of microbial inte...
Decentralized online social networks such as Mastodon distribute moderation power across thousands of independently governed servers, raising fundamental questions about how local block decisions shap...
Mangrove ecosystems in Guangdong Province, China, are vital for their ecological services and biodiversity, yet comprehensive assessments of their species diversity remain limited. A biodiversity surv...
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released draft guidance \citep{FDA2026} signaling a paradigm shift that facilitates the use of Bayesian methodology as the primary analysis and de...
This study quantifies the association between air pollution and mortality in Ontario, Canada. Exposure-response relationships in air pollution epidemiology are complex due to three features: time-lagg...
Members of the bacterial family Endozoicomonadaceae are ubiquitous marine symbionts associated with diverse hosts, including corals, sponges, molluscs, and fishes. Despite their ecological pervasivene...
This paper addresses the challenge of pulse source localization in a deep sea bottom bounce area using multipath time differences via a vertical dual-hydrophone configuration. By analyzing the variati...
Despite the remoteness of their breeding sites, subantarctic seabirds are susceptible to anthropogenic pollutants (e.g. microplastics) and other chemical stressors (e.g. plastic additives) that are re...
Natural products from marine and terrestrial organisms provide an important resource for medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. Defined as occurring at depths greater than 200 m, most of the ocean, b...
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the dominant mode of atmospheric variability over the North Atlantic sector, influencing temperature and precipitation across Europe. While the NAO's impact on ...
Multimorbidity poses a growing challenge for individual health, reducing quality of life and increasing treatment burden, resulting in a multiplicative impact on healthcare system management and fragm...
The stomiiforms are a diverse radiation of ray-finned fishes found in pelagic deep-sea environments, with taxa encompassing the barbeled dragonfishes including more than 350 species placed in the fami...
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 ...
Paint-derived particles are increasingly recognised as a major contributor to marine microplastic pollution, yet emissions from active vessels under routine operational conditions remain poorly charac...
Accurate prediction of loan defaults is a central challenge in credit risk management, particularly in modern financial datasets characterised by nonlinear relationships, class imbalance, and evolving...
Understanding how molecular alterations propagate across biological systems to drive disease remains a central challenge. Although high-throughput profiling enables comprehensive characterization of t...
The diverse formats of CSV and Parquet files in data lakes pose a significant challenge to traditional ETL, which relies on data engineers to pre-define a target database schema and build a complex pi...
The seafloor is the ultimate sink for most litter worldwide. Although significant efforts have been made over the past two decades to assess the impact of litter on marine ecosystems, collecting quant...
