Asian dust input in the western Philippine Sea: Evidence from radiogenic Sr and Nd isotopes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The radiogenic strontium (Sr) and neodymium (Nd) isotope compositions of the detrital fraction of surface and subsurface sediments have been determined to trace sediment provenance and contributions from Asian dust off the east coast of Luzon Islands in ...

Characteristic Earthquake Sequences near Miyakojima Island, Ryukyu Arc, Japan

open access: yesZisin (Journal of the Seismological Society of Japan. 2nd ser.), 2010
We found eight M 5.1 characteristic earthquakes regularly occurring since 1966 on the plate boundary between the Eurasian plate and the Philippine Sea plate near Miyakojima Island, the Ryukyu Arc, Japan. The quake recurrence interval was 5.89 years in average, and the standard deviation was only 0.73 years.

Complex evolution and biogeographic history of moss‐inhabiting flea beetles from the Taiwan‐Ryukyu Island Arc (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticini)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Extensive radiation of moss‐inhabiting flea beetles in Taiwan and Japan: The Ivalia uenoi complex displays high species diversity closely related to Japanese species. Complex biogeography revealed by phylogenomics: ddRAD data uncovered a history shaped by Miocene vicariance and Pliocene dispersal from Taiwan across the Taiwan‐Ryukyu archipelago ...

Stress-driven faulting with weak overpressure in the Tokara Islands, Ryukyu Arc: implications for fault reactivation under backarc extension

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space
We investigate the shallow stress regime and pore fluid pressure conditions in the Tokara Islands region of the northern Ryukyu Arc, where active seismicity occurs in a complex tectonic setting characterized by backarc extension.

Isolation and characterization of a thermophilic, obligately anaerobic and heterotrophic marine Chloroflexi bacterium from a Chloroflexi dominated microbial community associated with a Japanese shallow hydrothermal system, and proposal for Thermomarinilinea lacunofontalis gen. nov., sp. nov. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A novel marine thermophilic and heterotrophic Anaerolineae bacterium in the phylum Chloroflexi, strain SW7T, was isolated from an in situ colonization system deployed in the main hydrothermal vent of the Taketomi submarine hot spring field located on the

Cold Seep Communities in the Sea of Japan Are Species‐Poor and Dominated by a New Species of Provannid Snail

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Sea of Japan is a semi‐enclosed marginal sea in the northwestern Pacific whose bathyal communities exhibit a depauperate species diversity due to anoxic events during the last glacial maximum. Cold seeps associated with chemosynthetic ecosystems were discovered in this region over three decades ago, yet their fauna have not been characterised. Here,

A Review of the Widespread Indo‐West Pacific Ghost Crab, Ocypode ceratophthalmus (Pallas, 1772) (Crustacea: Decapoda: Ocypodidae) Complex, With the Description of a New Species

open access: yesJournal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The widespread Indo‐West Pacific ghost crab, Ocypode ceratophthalmus (Pallas, 1772) is found to be a species‐complex containing three distinct species. An Indian Ocean form, O. celadon sp. nov. occurs along the shores of East Africa, thence becoming an insular species spreading eastwards as far as Christmas Island.

A Possible Tsunamigenic Near‐Trench Strike‐Slip Fault, Offshore North Ecuador–South Colombia

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Seismic reflection and bathymetry collected along the Ecuador–Colombia obliquely convergent margin allow the first characterization of the NNE‐trending, near‐trench strike‐slip Ancon Fault in the possible source region of the 1906‐Mw8.6–8.8 and 1979‐Mw8.2 earthquakes, which produced devastating tsunamis.

Spatial and temporal distribution of low frequency volcanic earthquakes in the southern Okinawa Trough back-arc basin

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2019
Located to the south of East China Sea, the Southern Okinawa Trough (SOT) is a back-arc basin, which belongs to the Ryukyu subduction system. SOT is characterized by an active normal faulting system and numerous volcanic outcrops, which could have marine
