The marine environment plays a central role in the migration of Homo sapiens to Sahul c. 65,000 years ago. Despite the lower mean sea level at this time, humans must have made a maritime crossing from Sunda to Sahul. Whi...

Coastal regions are sectors where human activities impact the marine ecosystem, and if necessary control measures are not taken, they can generate negative consequences for health and ecosystem services. Within the frame...

The critical factor in restoration and conservation of urban streams and their catchments is the human population, however the most of studies of urban ecosystems do not present social descriptors as concrete variables o...

Intestinal microbiota of aquatic animals is closely associated with the environment, influencing their health, immune defense, and environmental adaptability. To understand the relationships among the Manila clam (Rudita...

Abstract Key roles of marine dimethyl sulfoniopropionate (DMSP), dimethyl sulfide (DMS), methyl mercaptan (MeSH), and carbon disulfide (CS2) in the sulfur cycle and/or atmospheric chemistry, alongside the rapid environme...

Hydrate-based CO2 storage represents a compelling strategy for CO2 oceanic storage. The long-term stability of CO2 hydrates is the pivotal indicator for assessing the technical viability of this strategy. Investigation o...

Abstract A total of sixty surface sediment samples were systematically obtained from ten distinct locations along the Sudanese coastline of the Red Sea during the summer season (June 2016) and the winter season (February...

The Gulf of Squillace, in the Calabrian Ionian Sea, where we have been conducting scientific research and marine monitoring since 2019, has proven to be an important area for pelagic animals, including seabirds and sea t...

Abstract Marine habitat maps are essential tools for marine spatial planning, providing information for decision‐making in conservation and resource management. Accurate classification of benthic habitats supports thei...

Being the main oil-bearing basin of Argentina, the Neuquén Basin contains a well-documented stratigraphic record of continental and marine sedimentation during the Jurassic and Cretaceous in the western margin of Gondwa...

Indonesia is aligning its National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) with the U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to address persistent environmental degradation. The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia...

Studies assessing marine physical stock accounts compliant with the globally adopted System of Environmental-Economic Accounting - Ecosystem Accounting are limited. These studies typically focus on ecosystems easy to map...

Latest Maastrichtian climate change caused by Deccan volcanism has been invoked as a cause of mass extinction at the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary (~66.0 Ma). Yet late Maastrichtian climate and ecological changes...

This review aims to critically investigate the swelling behavior of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs), with a focus on identifying key mechanisms of moisture absorption, the influence of fiber–matrix interact...

Abstract With the rapid developments of marine resource exploitation, mounts of marine engineering equipment are settled on the ocean. When it is not possible to move the damaged equipment into a dry dock, welding operat...

Background: Nucleosomes are the building blocks of chromatin where gene regulation takes place. Chromatin landscapes have been profiled for several species, providing insights into the fundamental mechanisms of chromatin...

Contamination with anthropogenic debris, such as plastic and paint particles, has been widely investigated in the global marine environment. However, there is a lack of information regarding their presence in marine prot...

Environmental and health concerns about lead-based materials have increased the need for high-density, lead-free alternatives for fishing weights, hunting bullets, ammunition, and body armor applications. Brass/40 wt.%...

The conservation of marine ecosystems depends on the establishment and functioning of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). These areas are not exempt from the effects generated by a variety of anthropogenic stressors. Coastal ...

Abstract The Eocene–Oligocene transition was the crucial turning point when Earth’s climate shifted to its current icehouse state. Understanding how the marine biosphere responded during this transition is not well-c...

Muestras de sedimento superficial del Río Negro, Patagonia norte, fueron analizadas para identificar las variables ambientales que en gran medida influyen en la distribución de las diatomeas. En general, los ensambles ...

The increasing attention to land–sea interactions in spatial planning highlights persistent difficulties in integrating terrestrial and maritime governance, particularly in tourism-intensive coastal areas where environ...

Abstract Sodium carbonate-activated slag mortar (SCASM) exhibits the advantages of low shrinkage, high strength in late age, and low-cost and carbon emissions. However, its microstructure is relatively porous due to the ...

Understanding the spatial ecology of wide-ranging marine megafauna is essential for identifying critical habitats and designing effective conservation strategies. Whale sharks undertake extensive movements far beyond wel...
