The hadal zone and Antarctic Ocean are two of the least-explored habitats. Knowledge about human impacts on these two extreme environments is limited. Here, we analyzed the metal accumulations of two amphipod species, Eurythenes gryllus, from the Mariana

A strategy for the conservation of biodiversity on mid-ocean ridges from deep-sea mining [PDF]
Mineral exploitation has spread from land to shallow coastal waters and is now planned for the offshore, deep seabed. Large seafloor areas are being approved for exploration for seafloor mineral deposits, creating an urgent need for regional ...

Bony fish genomes: Status and gaps
Abstract Bony fish constitute an exceptionally species‐rich group of aquatic vertebrates, comprising more than 95% of all living fish. The adaptive processes on the diversity of environments they inhabit make them a highly diverse group from taxonomic, morphological and evolutionary standpoints.

Cameras and carcasses: historical and current methods for using artificial food falls to study deep-water animals [PDF]
Deep-ocean animals remain poorly understood compared to their shallow-water relatives, mainly because of the great cost and difficulty involved in obtaining reliable ecological data.

Ancestral Biogeography Reveals Diverse Origins of Costa Rica Margin Seep Invertebrates
ABSTRACT Aim This work addressed the hypotheses that invertebrate species from hydrocarbon seeps at the Pacific Costa Rica Margin (CRM) would descend from adjacent biogeographic provinces, and that common ancestral histories would be identified across invertebrate groups.

Cluster‐based chemostratigraphy using XRF‐CS enables high‐resolution correlation of event deposits across contrasting depositional settings in the Japan Trench. This approach reveals previously unrecognised events and compositional heterogeneity, offering new insights into sediment provenance and earthquake‐triggered deposition, with implications for ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Caprella scaura (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Caprellidea), with emphasis on the unique gene order pattern and duplicated control region [PDF]
The nucleotide and amino acid sequences and the gene order of the mitochondrial genome are highly informative for studying phylogeny, population genetics, and phylogeography.

Hydrozoans, scyphozoans, larvaceans and ctenophores observed in situ at hadal depths
Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Larvacea (Appendicularia) and Ctenophora are not typically associated with hadal communities. Here, we report observations of these groups based on 136 benthic camera lander deployments that spanned all five oceans, encompassing 14

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Life history of abyssal and hadal fishes from otolith growth zones and oxygen isotopic compositions
Abstract Hadal trenches are isolated habitats that cover the greatest ocean depths (6,500–11,000 m) and are believed to host high levels of endemism across multiple taxa. A group of apparent hadal endemics is within the snailfishes (Liparidae), found in at least five geographically separated trenches.
