Bioaccumulation of contaminants in wild seahorses collected from coastal China
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Eighty-four wild seahorses, including three of China’s dominant species, were collected from seven coastal provinces to evaluate their common contaminant contents. Heavy metals (including Cu, Pb, Cd, Cr, and Hg), Benzo(a)pyrene (B[a]P), and microplastics

A power amplification dyad in seahorses. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2023 Throughout evolution, organisms repeatedly developed elastic elements to power explosive body motions, overcoming ubiquitous limits on the power capacity of fast-contracting muscles. Seahorses evolved such a latch-mediated spring-actuated (LaMSA) mechanism; however, it is unclear how this mechanism powers the two complementary functions necessary for ...
