Parasites and pathogens exert strong selection on their hosts and alter the structure, diversity, and productivity of communities of ecosystems. This paper presents results of a survey of parasite composition and prevalence observed on and within the freshwater hybrids ...

A ship shooter employing an alternative approach to the logics commonly found in the game genre. The player plays as a merchant instead of a pirate. The interactions in the game allow the player to choose to be passive or aggressive in their role.

Profiling multiomic biomarkers in bulk and in situ provides critical information which enables basic research and clinical applications. Unfortunately, most existing profiling methods are limited due to either low multiplexing, sensitivity, costs, or assay complexity. T...

The Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) is a small Osmerid native to the San Francisco Bay Delta (Bay-Delta) in California. Delta Smelt population has declined dramatically since the species was declared as endangered in 1993, and now has been listed as critically en...

The natural world is an extraordinary source of diverse organisms and natural product compounds. The use of natural products and their derivatives has been a recurring theme in the discovery and development of new therapeutics. The marine world is vast and contains incr...

Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been established worldwide to protect coastal ecosystems and the species inhabiting them. However, it is difficult to quantify whether these areas are adequately protecting the targeted species. Current monitoring methods, such as dive...

Marine aerosols play a large role in the Earth’s climate by cooling via interaction with energy from the sun and altering the chemical and physical properties of clouds. The dissolved organic matter at the ocean surface, where sea spray aerosols and marine gases can be ...

The exceptional concentration of marine biodiversity in the Coral Triangle is among the best-known biogeographic patterns in the ocean. Marine biodiversity peaks in the islands of Eastern part of Indonesia and the Philippines, the heart of the Coral Triangle, and signif...

Fish and fishers are affected by the environmental conditions they experience throughout their lives, from daily, annual to decadal time scales. Currently, the oceans are changing fast, as global warming increases the temperature of the water and reduces oxygen levels w...

Coral coverage reduction of up to 90% became a barometer of planetary health in the last three decades. As a result, coral scientists anticipate coral extinction with catastrophic effects on life in the oceans and propose direct interventions to rehabilitate ecological ...
