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...
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...
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...
Microplastic pollution in the Arctic Ocean poses potential risks to local ecosystems, particularly as global warming accelerates sea ice loss. Although high microplastic abundances in sea ice have bee...
Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released draft guidance \citep{FDA2026} signaling a paradigm shift that facilitates the use of Bayesian methodology as the primary analysis and de...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 review systematically analyzes 186 valid data points derived from 157 distinct marine natural small-molecule drug leads discovered in China in the past decade (2015-2024). These compounds have al...
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...
AbstractBiological diversity is widely recognized as a key driver of ecosystem function, yet the mechanisms underlying biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) relationships in natural systems, particula...
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...
Day-ahead electricity price forecasts support trading and storage decisions, but for battery arbitrage predicting intraday price spreads is more relevant than predicting individual hourly prices. Here...
How do large language models (LLMs) organize moral knowledge? Models detect moral content broadly, but detection is a low bar. We ask whether they go further, distinguishing moral foundations from one...
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 ...
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...
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...
