Surface Water Iron Deposition Histories and the Initiation of Phytoplankton Blooms in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Highly productive summer phytoplankton blooms in the central North Pacific Subtropical Gyre (NPSG) are an annual occurrence that leads to the export of considerable amounts of surface particulate carbon to depth. The mechanisms that control the formation of these blooms remain unresolved, but iron (Fe) availability may be an important factor ...

A Feasibility Review for an Uneven Baseline Basis Minimal Ballast Ship

한국해양공학회지, 2020
Although there are many kinds of advanced ballast water management systems, pioneering studies for ballast-water free ship and minimal ballast water ship concepts are in progress. In this study, the existing alternatives of ballast water are reviewed and

Combining morphological and molecular data to study past foraminiferal communities from a temperate coastal sediment core

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 198-215, January 2026.
This paper presents the results of a dual approach for assessing fossil benthic foraminiferal communities using both traditional morphology‐based analyses and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding. The main objectives are to test the feasibility of sedaDNA analyses to assess foraminiferal biodiversity in temperate shelf sediments (Le Croisic,

Stress related epigenetic changes may explain opportunistic success in biological invasions in Antipode mussels [PDF]

, 2018
Different environmental factors could induce epigenetic changes, which are likely involved in the biological invasion process. Some of these factors are driven by humans as, for example, the pollution and deliberate or accidental introductions and others
