Cryopreservation of marine species is a key tool for biodiversity conservation, population management, and the advance of aquaculture and biological research. Currently exist significant progress in t...
Antarctic marine food webs are expected to be significantly impacted by future climate change. In particular, the recent rapid regional warming in the West Antarctic Peninsula has, and will continue t...
The concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn) and cadmium (Cd) were analyzed in muscle, liver, kidney and lung tissue samples, and stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes were me...
Ocean warming and acidification pose significant threats to marine biodiversity and human nutrition by fundamentally altering the biochemical composition of marine organisms. A primary concern is the ...
Marine systems worldwide are suffering escalating impacts from biological invasions, with increasing threats projected for the future. Despite substantial financial investments in managing marine inva...
Marine invertebrates constitute the vast majority of marine biodiversity, and they are extremely diverse and play a key role in marine ecosystems, thus playing an important role at the socioeconomic l...
From 2020 to 2024, The Institut Mauritanien de Recherches Océanographiques et des Pêche (IMROP) and the Senckenberg Research Institute conducted five joint expeditions, exploring the marine biodiversi...
The University of Washington's marine field station, the Friday Harbor Laboratories (FHL), has been a center for diverse biological research for over 100 years. The facility is a complete mini-campus ...
Passive acoustic monitoring is a non-invasive tool widely used to assess marine biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics. This study characterizes the soundscape of a sandy-bottom habitat in a shallow coas...
Deep-sea methane seeps host diverse and abundant animal communities, including an extensive undescribed diversity of small cryptic invertebrates. We describe a new genus and species of neomphalid snai...
Echinoderms are found across a wide bathymetric range. Generally, the deep-sea environments remain inaccessible for sampling, however, by-catch serves as an opportunistic source for collecting and stu...
Cerebratulus sardonyx sp. nov. is described from a single specimen collected at Kita-Koho Seamount on the Kyushu-Palau Ridge, a major submarine arc extending from southern Japan into the Philippine Se...
The accelerating global demand for high-quality protein, coupled with escalating ecological pressures from terrestrial livestock systems, has intensified the search for sustainable alternative protein...
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...
To engage undergraduate marine biology students and demonstrate the relevance of energy metabolism to their field, we developed laboratory activities that integrate cellular metabolism with the biolog...
Target capture is widely used to enrich endogenous DNA from calcium phosphate skeletal material in vertebrates, but its performance on calcium carbonate hard parts widely produced by invertebrates rem...
Wood constitutes the largest reservoir of biogenic carbon on Earth, yet remarkably few animals can exploit it. While terrestrial wood-feeders like termites rely on highly diverse gut microbiomes, xylo...
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...
Monstrilloid copepods have endoparasitic naupliar and postnaupliar stages infecting different groups of marine invertebrates. As adults, they have been recorded as free-swimming, non-feeding planktoni...
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...
