Abstract Ports and marinas are global hotspots for non-indigenous species (NIS), yet biofouling communities in the Arabian Gulf remain poorly documented. Here, we present the first spatially extensive assessment of biofo...

Fish diversity is often challenging due to its labor-intensive and time-consuming, particularly when it comes to detecting rare and endemic fishes in fast-flowing waters. Environmental DNA metabarcoding has emerged as a ...

Abstract Understanding how large carnivores partition dietary resources is essential for assessing intra-guild competition and informing conservation strategies. In this study, we used DNA metabarcoding of scats to quant...

Monitored natural recovery (MNR) is an in situ technique of conventional remediation for the treatment of contaminated sediments that relies on natural processes to reduce the bioavailability or toxicity of contaminants....

Abstract The massive production of plastics, together with inadequate waste management, has intensified the problem of plastic pollution. Recently, the scientific community has increasingly investigated the interactions ...

This data paper describes bacterial and fungal communities associated with the sponge Chondrilla nucula collected from two Eastern Mediterranean populations (North and South Aegean Sea) and maintained under controlled co...

Abstract Here we present a multi-marker DNA barcoding library for Hong Kong marine fishes (Teleostei), cephalopods (Mollusca), and crustaceans (Arthropoda) frequently captured by purse seine fisheries. In total, 605 spec...

Fish oil is a widely consumed nutritional supplement rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and of high economic value, but it is susceptible to economically motivated adulteration, including the incorporation ...

Abstract Background Hypogeous fungi play important ecological roles and have significant economic value. However, the hypogeous habit of these organisms hinders our understanding of their diversity and vulnerability. Res...
