New international research led by Professors Willy Baeyens and Yue Gao of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), published in ...

The deep ocean is filled with sea creatures like giant larvaceans. They're actually the size of tadpoles, but they're surrounded by a yard-wide bubble of mucus that collects food — and plastic.

Alternative Food Chains The primary marine food web, which is based on plant productivity, includes many of the sea's species—but not all of them. There are other deep-ocean ecosystems that are ...

Warming waters are causing the colors of the ocean to change -- a trend that could impact humans if it were to continue, according to new research.Satellite data shows that ocean waters are getting ...

Rising Temperatures Are Scrambling the Base of the Ocean Food Web Scientists are gaining new insights into how plankton supports life on Earth — just as climate change is changing everything.

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

Scientists have found DDT in zooplankton and deep-sea fish off the coast of L.A., indicating the toxic chemical might be infiltrating the base of the food web.

This Heat Is Shaking the Very Foundation of the Ocean Food Web Yes, save the corals. But warming seas also imperil innumerable plankton, which power the oceanic ecosystem.

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

Marine heat waves in the northeast Pacific Ocean create ongoing and complex disruptions of the ocean food web that may benefit some species but threaten the future of many others, a new study has ...
