A new study by an international team of researchers has revealed the huge role Indian Ocean fisheries play in feeding the ...

Ice loss in Antarctica and its impact on the planet - sea level rise, changes to ocean currents and disturbance of wildlife ...

Areas near the poles are turning greener, while spots closer to the equator are getting bluer, researchers say.

Deep below the surface of the ocean, bacteria and critters that feed off nutrients spouting from hydrothermal vents met with ...

A study published Thursday in the journal Science found that the ocean is changing color as it warms. By analyzing satellite data from 2003 to 2022, researchers from Duke University and the Georgia ...

The change reflects shifting concentrations of a green pigment called chlorophyll made by phytoplankton, photosynthetic marine organisms at the base of the ocean food chain. If the trend continues, ...

Over 230 new giant viruses were identified in ocean waters, revealing their influence on photosynthesis, host metabolism, and harmful algal bloom dynamics.

These single-celled organisms-including algae, amoebas, and flagellates-form the foundation of marine food webs and are often manipulated by these viruses during infection ( ref1 ).

Masters of the Mesozoic oceans were also wiped out, from mosasaurs - a group of aquatic reptiles topping the food chain - to exquisitely shelled ... Mass extinctions clearly upend the status quo. Now, ...

Ocean primary production, the availability of organic compounds through photosynthesis by microscopic plants, is the basis of the marine food web.

It’s also affecting the light that reaches the ocean, which scientists say could harm tiny sea creatures that are key to the food chain.In a recent study published in Nature Communications ...
