Understanding the relative contributions of environmental, spatial, and temporal processes in shaping species distribution is a central objective in ecology. Bayesian species distribution models (SDMs...
The first passage time problem is considered for stochastic logistic growth model with constant harvesting and multiplicative environmental noise. Explicit expressions for the moments and cumulants of...
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely distributed endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDCs) in aquatic ecosystems. Larimichthys polyactis is an economically important fish species in China's nearshore waters, char...
Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) are a long-lived, slow-growing deep-sea species endemic to the Southern Hemisphere and the focus of longline fisheries managed to ensure sustainable exp...
Oil pollution is one of the most persistent and harmful anthropogenic pressures on global marine and coastal ecosystems. Accidental discharges, chronic leaks, operational spills from shipping, offshor...
The northwestern Pacific (NWP) encompasses diverse oceanographic regimes, with the confluence of the warm Kuroshio and the cold Oyashio forming a seasonally shifting ecotone characterized by strong en...
Seafood plays a vital yet underexplored role in addressing nutritional deficiencies in tropical countries. Despite Brazil's vast coastline and marine biodiversity, seafood contribution to human nutrit...
Antarctic krill (Euphasia superba) are a key component in the Southern Ocean ecosystem, especially in the Atlantic sector, where the majority of the population is concentrated. The Norwegian commercia...
Mercury (Hg) is a global contaminant that biomagnifies in food webs, raising concerns for food safety, fisheries exploitation, and wildlife conservation. Fish, including apex predators like sharks, ar...
Fisheries can strongly alter marine ecosystem dynamics, influencing the ecology and behaviour of top predators such as cetaceans. At the Tiber River estuary (Tyrrhenian Sea, Western Mediterranean), bo...
Hydrological dynamics are fundamental drivers of estuarine ecosystem structure and functioning, directly regulating fish assemblage abundance, species richness and functional redundancy. Using a 24-ye...
The functioning of high-diversity ecosystems, such as coral reefs, is intrinsically tied to the integrity and efficiency of the trophic pathways within these systems. Coral reef productivity depends, ...
There is a common misconception among ocean scientists and policy makers that mesopelagic (200-1000 m) food webs are an unexploited "final frontier" of living marine resources. It is true that there a...
The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species-specific sounds. While sound production is well-documented i...
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...
The permanent closure of large marine areas is often regarded as an effective strategy for conserving marine biodiversity. However, implementing large permanent closures can be difficult in many small...
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...
Mercury (Hg) is a toxic metal that biomagnifies through food webs, posing ecological and human health risks. The anchovy (Engraulis ringens), a key forage fish in the Humboldt Current System, sustains...
Incidental capture of sharks by fisheries is common, making it critical to assess species' physiological and behavioural stress responses and post-release survival. Previous studies have examined bloo...
Bottom trawl fisheries are recognized to be a global threat to marine biodiversity and a dominant driver of sea floor ecosystem change. Although the mechanism of trawling impact on benthic life is mor...
