Microbial interaction networks can rewire in response to host and environmental factors, yet most existing methods for network estimation treat the covariance structure as static across samples. We pr...
Understanding differences in microbial community structure is critical for uncovering risk factors and mechanisms underlying diseases such as colorectal cancer and preterm birth. Microbiome data prese...
The hadal zone presents one of the most extreme environments on Earth. While amphipods dominate this realm, the adaptive mechanisms of their resident gut microbiota are not fully understood, which is ...
Biomass valorization has become a central strategy in the transition toward a circular bioeconomy, enabling the conversion of underutilized terrestrial and marine resources into value-added functional...
During the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), there was an increase in global temperatures and emissions of isotopically depleted carbon, resulting in a negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE). ...
The deep sea is home to a vast and largely unexplored microbial biosphere, along with large amounts of complex organic matter (COM). However, the functional capacity of the deep-sea microbiome to meta...
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...
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food-producing sector globally, yet intensive farming in China has led to severe ecological degradation of coastal marine pastures, including habitat loss, disease o...
Secondary adaptation of amphibians to marine environments is exceptionally rare. The crab-eating frog, Fejervarya cancrivora, is the only known amphibian capable of completing its life cycle in intert...
Anthropogenic disturbances increasingly compromise marine environments, with severe consequences for vulnerable coral ecosystems. While global stressor impacts on stony corals are well-documented, the...
Microplastics (MPs) contaminate marine environments from surface waters to deep sediments. Approximately half of global plastic production consists of low-density polymers that should float in seawate...
Mercury (Hg) is a globally concerning contaminant due to its persistence, toxicity, and biomagnification potential. Polychaetes, as sediment-dwelling invertebrates and key trophic intermediaries in be...
While chemosymbiosis offers deep-sea bathymodioline mussels a critical metabolic advantage, this dependence makes them vulnerable when removed from their native environment, and their early post-recov...
Comprehensive biodiversity inventories of abyssal and hadal ecosystems remain rare due to the financial and logistical challenges associated with operating in the deepest parts of the ocean. However, ...
Microplastic pollution, stemming from plastic degradation or direct release, presents a persistent threat to marine environments. While global concern grows, data from the Indian Ocean, especially on ...
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,...
