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...
One of the main objectives of the "Program for the Assessment of the Sustainable Potential of Living Resources in the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone" (REVIZEE) was to produce a comprehensive invent...
The faunas around methane seeps in the deep sea thrive on an in-situ food source and are thus expected to show no latitudinal gradients in their diversity. An analysis of 478 modern and 824 fossil (Cr...
This study documents the first recorded occurrence of six commercially important grouper fish species (Teleostei: Perciformes: Epinephelidae) from the Lakshadweep Islands, India. The species documente...
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are widely adopted to conserve marine biodiversity, yet their distributional impacts on resource-dependent communities remain underexplored. This study investigates socio...
The systematic, global-scale characterization of submarine landforms is fundamental to ocean science, yet is often hindered by inconsistent, proprietary, or closed-source methodologies. We address thi...
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...
Deep-sea hard substrates host faunal novelties and distinct evolutionary lineages. However, sessile organisms on rocks are difficult to sample and largely unknown at extreme hadal depths. Here, we rep...
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...
The marine environment of the Amathole region, located in the central part of South Africa's Eastern Cape Province near East London on the southeast coast, is characterized by a narrow continental she...
Marine biofouling remains a persistent global challenge, causing severe deterioration of offshore infrastructures and marine vessels, which results in significant economic losses and ecological concer...
The Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas y Costeras (INVEMAR), in partnership with the Universidad del Valle (UV), Universidad tecnológica del Chocó (UTCH) and the community councils of Cupica and Los...
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...
The Gulf of Mexico/Gulf of America provides ecosystem services derived from marine biodiversity and oil and gas resources. Threats posed by unintended releases of oil and gas can be attenuated by micr...
