Vibrio vulnificus (vvh) is an epidemiologically significant bacterium that naturally occurs in coastal waters under favorable environmental conditions and causes one of the highest mortality rates among known foodborne pathogens. Little is currently ...
Marine phytoplankton are crucial to oceanic ecosystems, yet trends in their activity, monitored through chlorophyll a, remain uncertain due to observational limitations. We generated an ocean chlorophyll a dataset (2001 to 2023) across low to mid-lat...
The interplay between acidification and nitrification in estuarine systems could have profound effects on coastal biogeochemistry and ecosystem health. However, the lack of integrated field research risks oversimplifying their relationships in comple...

Saltwater intrusion (SWI) poses a significant environmental challenge for coastal aquifers in Pacific Island nations, including Port Vila, Vanuatu. This study utilised a 3D numerical simulation model to evaluate SWI in the Tagabe coastal aquifer unde...
UNLABELLED: Hydrocarbon seepage in marine sediments exerts selective pressure on benthic microbiomes. Accordingly, microbial community composition in these sediments can reflect the presence of hydrocarbons, with specific groups being more prolific i...
Phytoplankton-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a major pathway for atmospheric CO transfer to long-lived oceanic DOC reservoirs. Yet, current models rarely accounted for its molecular and taxonomic heterogeneity across growth seasons. Here, ...

comprise ecologically significant bacteria that thrive in warm, moderately saline water, and their incidence and proliferation are strongly influenced by environmental factors. In recent years, . infections have been reported more frequently and ove...
Coastal aquifers are vulnerable to natural and human-induced processes that impact their resilience and ecosystems. Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) and Seawater Intrusion (SWI) play crucial roles in transporting nutrients and contaminants into ...
The Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) is a highly environmentally heterogeneous ocean with high biological richness and endemism. Capturing and structuring this variability through a classification into seascapes is essential to support ecological resea...
Copiotrophic marine bacteria contribute to the control of carbon storage in the ocean by remineralizing organic matter. Motility presents copiotrophs with a risk-reward trade-off: it is highly beneficial in seeking out sparse nutrient hotspots, but e...
