Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are among the most extreme and geochemically dynamic environments on Earth, characterized by steep gradients in temperature and chemical concentration. Alvinocaridid shrimp...
Caeconyx papso sp. nov. within the family Uristidae is described from the Porcupine Abyssal Plain, Northeast Atlantic Ocean. The new species differs from the only other member of the genus, Caeconyx c...
Pelagia noctiluca is a widely distributed scyphozoan jellyfish species. Despite extensive studies, detailed information on its distribution and ecology in the deep sea is lacking. Thanks to the analys...
The Canary Islands, settled by Berber communities from Northwest Africa during the first millennium CE, offer a privileged window into coastal economies and early maritime adaptations that remain poor...
In the deep ocean, hydrothermal vents sustain remarkable animal-microbial symbioses, in which bacteria colonizing animal external or internal tissues use reduced chemicals from venting fluids to perfo...
The deep-sea isopod Bathynomus propinquus Richardson, 1910, was described based on a single male juvenile from the Verde Island Passage, central-western Philippines, but owing to its immaturity, had l...
Bacterial symbiosis is well-documented in chemosynthesis-based ecosystems, but associations with microeukaryotes remain overlooked. In this study, using scanning electron microscopy and 18S rDNA barco...
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...
Princaxelia Dahl, 1959, is a genus containing predatory pardaliscid amphipods, typically captured in small numbers from hadal trenches (> 6,000 m ocean depth). Here, two new species, Princaxelia maloh...
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,...
Macroecological patterns of life history traits, such as larval size, are fundamental to understanding the biogeography and diversity of marine invertebrates. The long-established Thorson's Rule hypot...
