The history of Earth's biodiversity is punctuated episodically by mass extinctions. These are
characterized by major declines of taxon richness, but the accompanying ecological …

This study aimed to examine the distribution of poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in
15 marine fish species from the northern Bohai Sea, investigate their sources of …

Copepods are the dominant members of the zooplankton community and the most abundant
form of life. It is imperative to obtain insights into the copepod-associated bacteriobiomes …

Spatiotemporal patterns in the basal resources fueling the macrobenthic food web of a
temperate coastal embayment subject to a low-turbidity riverine discharge (Gwangyang Bay …

Nutrient dynamics function globally, flowing from rivers to the ocean (estuarine–coastal
zone), and are vulnerable to climate change. Microbial habitats can be affected by marine …

The seasonal variability of stable isotope values (δ 15 N and δ 13 C),∆ 15 N values, and
niche width of calanoid copepod species, three zooplankton size fractions and seston were …

To gain insight into the impact of bottom-up changes in the plankton community on
planktivorous fish in the context of the decline of small pelagic fisheries in the Northwestern …

Daya Bay, a semi-enclosed bay in the northern South China Sea and to the east of the Pearl
River Estuary, is rich in biological resources and diverse habitats. Current research on …

In estuaries, the sources of organic matter, its composition, and its functional role in the
coastal ecosystem food web are all influenced by dominant estuarine processes. We …

Stable isotope (SI) analysis is a standard tool to study marine food webs, usually based on
the measurement of a few individuals from a small list of subjectively pre-defined species …
