In simple terms, if the range of habitats for any plant or animal species extends across the vast majority of the world's oceans, it has geographical distribution. Typical examples of sea creatures with "cosmopolitan distribution" are the blue whale,ray fish species, and the great white shark....
. Yet, our results also suggest that the AB species is strongly negatively affected by changed phenology if temperature increases beyond the historical range (Supplementary Fig.S1). This was because the projected warming led to more frequent mismatch situations and recruitment failure of the AB fish...
Alternate regimes refer to dynamic states exhibiting a defined range of deviations from an attractor over time12; thus, regimes can be viewed as basins of attraction around the system response curves (attractors), forming a folded stability landscape (Supplementary Fig.S2a). In this context, ecolo...
The marine biome is by far the largest. Water has a very large capacity for heat, which means that the vast oceans play a vital role in keeping the Earth’s temperature fairly constant. In addition, the several billion photosynthetic plankton provide most of the photosynthesis for the planet....
Marine science is a broad term referring to the research and interpretation of the marine biome. The study of marine science provides us with a better understanding of fish and plant populations, ocean climate changes, pollution, and biodiversity. While marine science primarily focuses on saltwater ...
which features water with a broad temperature range, surface seaweeds and many species of fish as well as some mammals. The intertidal zone, where the ocean meets land, is covered by water during high tide and is terrestrial during low tide, allowing it to support unique vegetation and animal...
Given the depth range of cobalt-rich crust habitat, interactions with, and cumulative impacts from, commercial deep-sea fisheries and long-termocean acidificationneed to be considered. • Improved knowledge is needed of the composition, structure and function of settings where cobalt-rich crusts are...
aquatic plants can be found all over the world, in a variety of settings. They also have different requirements. For example, in afreshwater biome, aquatic plants such as water lilies, star grass, and cattails require plenty of sunlight. Other important factors include water temperature, water ...
Marine biotechnology is a rapidly growing sector of the ocean economy, but efforts to assess its value, and that of the genetic resources that enable it, remain contentious. Through a comprehensive literature review, we identified 67 distinct valuations
Fouling of maritime infrastructure is pervasive due to abundant biological and chemical activity within the oceanic environment. Marine biofilms and their successional growths are prevalent issues in biofouling, but current industrial and research-based
