Marine debris, mostly consisting of plastic, is a global problem, negatively impacting wildlife, tourism and shipping. However, despite the durability of plastic, and the exponential increase in its production, monitoring data show limited evidence o

Ophiuroids are widely distributed marine benthic organisms, but very few species of ophiuroids have been reported from deep-sea chemosynthetic habitats including hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. In this study, a new species of Ophiothamnidae, Hista

Understanding the dynamics of abyssal community structure and function has become increasingly important as deep-sea resource exploitation and climate change pressures are expected to ramp up. This time-series study investigates macrofaunal polychaet

The deep sea is the largest biome on earth, and microbes dominate in biomass and abundance. Anthropogenic litter is now almost ubiquitous in this biome, and its deposition creates new habitats and environments, including for microbial assemblages. Wi

Using a forensic science approach to minimize environmental contamination and to identify microfibres in marine sediments

Publikováno v: Marine Pollution Bulletin. 95:40-46

There is growing evidence of extensive pollution of the environment by microplastic, with microfibres representing a large proportion of the microplastics seen in marine sediments. Since microfibres are ubiquitous in the environment, present in the l
