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 ...
Seafloor litter has become a growing environmental concern to marine ecosystems and coastal economies. To better understand the environmental behavior of seafloor litter, it is important to characteri...
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...
The anaerobic oxidation of methane and higher C2+ alkanes is a dominant metabolism within hydrocarbon-rich deep-sea sediments and is largely mediated by alkane-oxidizing archaea in metabolic partnersh...
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...
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...
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...
Deep-sea hydrothermal sediments represent critical zones for archaea-driven biogeochemical cycling, yet the ecological differentiation of archaeal communities across hydrothermal gradients remains poo...
Benthic prokaryotic communities in deep-sea sediments remain poorly studied. They are constrained by organic matter availability and oxygenation in warm deep-sea ecosystems. Here, we investigated bent...
Microplastic contamination in aquatic ecosystems has emerged as a major environmental concern due to its potential impact on marine organisms and human health. The present study investigates the abund...
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...
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...
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 (...
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are archetypal chemosynthetic ecosystems, yet the intense geothermal near-infrared (NIR) radiation emitted by black smoker chimneys remains a largely unexplored environment...
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...
