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 protection of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) is a priority for ecosystem-based fisheries management in the Mediterranean Sea. The bamboo coral Isidella elongata forms complex habitats that ar...
The increasing accumulation of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) waste in the environment poses a growing threat to natural ecosystems due to its resistance to degradation. In this study, bacterial isol...
Although Quintero-Puchuncaví Bay, Chile, is a coastal area historically known to be subject to multiple industrial pressures, few studies have focused on the associated risks to marine ecosystems and,...
Lindaspio polybranchiata is a deep-sea spionid annelid and an early colonizer of cold seep ecosystems, but genomic resources for this genus remain limited. Here, we present haplotype-resolved chromoso...
The poles represent Earth's most climate-sensitive biomes, where microbial communities and viruses drive fundamental ecological processes. Within these extreme environments, giant viruses of the phylu...
This review examines the growing concern over persistent, non-biodegradable micro- and nanopollutants in marine environments, driven largely by industrial activities, particularly manufacturing proces...
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...
The Gulf of California sustains important fisheries, including those targeting spiny lobsters. Despite their economic importance, little is known about the interactions with their parasites, which pla...
Environmental contamination by current-use pesticides (CUPs) has become a global concern due to their widespread use. However, very few studies have examined the spatiotemporal dynamics and multiclass...
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...
AI-augmented ecosystems (interconnected systems where multiple AI components interact through shared data and infrastructure) are becoming the architectural norm for smart cities, autonomous fleets, a...
AI-assisted coding has rapidly reshaped software practice and research workflows, yet today's models still struggle to produce correct code for complex 3D geometric vision. If models could reliably wr...
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...
