Fernando Cisneros-Bejarano et al.
Microplastics (MPs) are pervasive contaminants in marine ecosystems, yet data from remote oceanic islands remain limited. We quantified MP occurrence in gills and gastrointestinal tracts (GIT) of Sally Lightfoot crab (Grapsus grapsus, n = 6...
Extreme drought-induced significant reduction of particulate organic carbon (POC) and its impact on apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) in the Changjiang Estuary and adjacent East China Sea [0.03%]
Ningxiao Yu,Haiyan Jin,Zhongqiang Ji et al.
Ningxiao Yu et al.
Global climate change has increased the frequency of extreme climatic events, complicating the interactions among nutrient dynamics, organic carbon cycling, and oxygen depletion in estuarine systems. However, the impacts of drought on parti...
Revisiting sandy beach ecological hypotheses to identify disturbance indicators: Supralittoral arthropod responses to urbanization and morphodynamics [0.03%]
Leonardo Lopes Costa,Vitor Figueira Arueira,Keltony de Aquino Ferreira et al.
Leonardo Lopes Costa et al.
The supralittoral mobile arthropod fauna on sandy beaches remains understudied, limiting knowledge of how environmental and anthropogenic drivers shape this biodiversity and the identification of reliable bioindicators. We quantified popula...
Unraveling the size-dependent toxicity mechanisms of polystyrene microplastics on coral symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae: Integrated physiological and transcriptomic perspectives [0.03%]
Jiayuan Liang,Yating Yang,Tianyi Niu et al.
Jiayuan Liang et al.
Microplastic (MP) pollution poses a growing threat to coral reef ecosystems, yet its direct effects on symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae remain poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the size-dependent toxicity and underlying mechanis...
Microplastic contamination in pelagic and coastal fish from Malaysian waters: Tissue-specific distribution, polymer characteristics, and environmental risk indicators [0.03%]
Jiulong Qin,Shahul Hamid Fauziah

This study quantified the abundance, tissue-specific distribution, polymer composition, and preliminary contamination screening of microplastics (MPs) in two commercially important pelagic fish species from Malaysian coastal waters, Megalas...
Weathered oil fragments as an ecotoxic legacy of ocean oil spills: Developmental and redox disruption in necrophagous Chrysomya albiceps larvae [0.03%]
Pâmela de Souza Oliveira,Karina Agrécia Dias Barbosa,Aline Sueli de Lima Rodrigues et al.
Pâmela de Souza Oliveira et al.
Oil spills in marine and coastal environments represent one of the most severe ecotoxicological threats, with effects that can persist for years due to the formation of weathered oil fragments (WOFs). These residues accumulate on beaches an...
Phycocyanin-mediated silver nanoparticle/PDMS nanocomposite coatings: Field-validated antifouling performance in the marine environment of the Persian Gulf [0.03%]
Mozhgan Razzaghi,Hossein Ghasemi,Ahmad Homaei et al.
Mozhgan Razzaghi et al.
Marine biofouling poses severe operational and ecological challenges, driving the demand for sustainable, high-performance antifouling strategies. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were biosynthesized using phycocyanin (PC) extrac...
Mapping persistent oil spill risk in the Niger Delta using Sentinel-1 SAR and environmental exposure indicators [0.03%]
Ridwan D Oseni,Kamaldeen Olakunle L Omosanya,Ganiyu O Mosuro et al.
Ridwan D Oseni et al.
Oil spills remain a major source of marine and coastal pollution in hydrocarbon-producing regions, where repeated releases can lead to long-term contamination of wetlands, waterways, and adjacent communities. Although satellite remote sensi...
LTF-MSPCNet: A synergistic approach combining attention mechanisms and local texture features for oil spill segmentation in SAR images [0.03%]
Xiwen Wang,Yi Ma,Kai Du et al.
Xiwen Wang et al.
Marine oil spills represent a significant environmental pollution incident that severely disrupts the balance and stability of marine ecosystems. SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) demonstrates significant potential in oil spill detection due t...
