Abstract The Southern Ocean is a key player in the climate, ocean, and atmospheric system.
As the only direct connection between all three major oceans since the opening of the …

Ocean acidification can severely affect bivalve molluscs, especially their shell calcification.
Assessing the fate of this vulnerable group in a rapidly acidifying ocean is therefore a …

Natural acidified marine systems (ASs) are environments with relatively low pH levels due to
natural causes such as volcanic activity, geochemical reactions, and biological processes …

Ocean acidification (OA), one of the main climate-change-related stressors linked to
increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, is considered an important threat to …

Most of Japan's coral reefs are distributed in the Ryukyu Islands, in the southwestern part of
Japan. Since they support biodiversity in the tropical and subtropical seas and are …

A previously undocumented shallow water hydrothermal field from Sicily (Southern
Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy) is here described, based on a multidisciplinary investigation. The field …

Whilst natural analogues for future ocean conditions such as CO2 seeps and enclosed
lagoons in coral reef regions have received much recent research attention, most efforts in …

Submarine CO2 emissions are a recent (probably younger than about 5 ka) expression of
volcanism at Vulcano Island (off NE Sicily), a Mediterranean natural laboratory for the study …

Marine stations have continued to contribute significantly to understanding the physiology,
taxonomy, development, ecology, and evolution of animals. There are more than 50 marine …

The ocean is the cradle of life, and caring for the ocean and protecting marine biodiversity is
protecting humanity itself. In recent years, global marine governance with biodiversity as its …
