Genomic Signatures and Demographic History of the Widespread and Critically Endangered Yellow‐Breasted Bunting

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Population declines may have long‐term genetic consequences, including genetic erosion and inbreeding depression, which could affect species' evolutionary potential and increase their risk of extinction. Small populations are more vulnerable to genetic threats than common species, but even species with large populations can also be at risk of ...

Generalized assessments of composition, quantitative distribution and biomass of benthic macrofauna on the shelf and slope in the North-West Pacific

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2015
Quantitative information on the bottom macrofauna of the continental shelf and slope down to the depth 2025 m is generalized for the Far East of Russia and the adjacent waters of North Korea and Japan (in total 32,700 bottom trawls obtained in 224 ...

Emerging patterns of species richness, diversity, population density, and distribution in the skates (Rajidae) of Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Six years of bottom-trawl survey data, including over 6000 trawls covering over 200 km2 of bottom area throughout Alaska’s subarctic marine waters, were analyzed for patterns in species richness, diversity, density, and distribution of skates. The Bering

Biological surveys reveal unexpectedly high faunal diversity at Nankai Trough methane seeps

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Cold seeps are chemosynthesis‐based ecosystems powered by microbial primary production that support diverse and specialized faunal assemblages in the deep sea. Despite Nankai Trough in Japan being a geologically active margin hosting numerous seeps, much of the faunal diversity remains undocumented.

A great earthquake doublet and seismic stress transfer cycle in the central Kuril islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Temporal variations of the frictional resistance on subduction-zone plate boundary faults associated with the stick–slip cycle of large interplate earthquakes are thought to modulate the stress regime and earthquake activity within the subducting oceanic

Large‐Scale Topographic Changes at Erupting Volcanoes Measured by the TanDEM‐X Digital Change Map

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Volcanic eruptions cause large‐scale topographic changes, through the emplacement of lava flows and lava domes, the formation of craters and calderas, and thick ash and pyroclastic deposits. Here we analyze the TanDEM‐X Digital Change Map (DCM), which compares the DEM produced during 2010–2015 with satellite acquisitions collected in 2016–2022.

ANALYSIS OF REGULARITIES IN DISTRIBUTION OF EARTHQUAKES BY FOCAL DISPLACEMENT IN THE KURIL-OKHOTSK REGION BEFORE THE CATASTROPHIC SIMUSHIR EARTHQUAKE OF 15 NOVEMBER 2006

open access: yesГеодинамика и тектонофизика, 2015
The catastrophic Simushir earthquake occurred on 15 November 2006 in the Kuril-Okhotsk region in the Middle Kuril Islands which is a transition zone between the Eurasian continent and the Pacific Ocean. It was followed by numerous strong earthquakes.

Parameterization of Frequency‐Dependent Internal Wave Drag in Global Ocean Models

open access: yesJournal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract A global unconstrained, tidally‐forced ocean model is implemented with the Modular Ocean Model version 6. In the model, a computationally efficient and memory friendly algorithm is employed to determine the instantaneous tidal velocities while the model is running. This filtering technique allows us to separately control the internal wave drag
