The blue shark (Prionace glauca) exhibits a striking dorsoventral color gradient, transitioning from vibrant blue dorsally to silver and white ventrally, a pattern widely interpreted as pelagic counte...
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 Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) is a deep-sea vertebrate inhabiting the cold waters of the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean and is renowned for its exceptional longevity, with individuals...
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...
The Arabian Gulf is a semi-enclosed sea with shallow waters. Its marine fauna must cope with extreme and recurring environmental conditions (high summer temperatures, hypersalinity, hypoxia). In addit...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized biodiversity monitoring by enabling species detection from microbes to megafauna without direct observation or capture. Yet most marine eDNA collection syst...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
