A planetary-scale understanding of the ocean ecosystem, particularly in light of climate
change, is crucial. Here, we review the work of Tara Oceans, an international …

The deep learning (DL) revolution is touching all scientific disciplines and corners of our
lives as a means of harnessing the power of big data. Marine ecology is no exception. New …

Anthropogenic pollution from marine microplastic particles is a growing concern, both as a
source of toxic compounds, and because they can transport pathogens and other pollutants …

Nickel is a biologically essential element for marine life, with the potential to influence
diverse processes, including methanogenesis, nitrogen uptake and coral health, in both …

The impact of climate change on diversity, functioning and biogeography of marine plankton
remains a major unresolved issue. Here environmental niches are evidenced for plankton …

Marine microeukaryotes play a fundamental role in biogeochemical cycling through the
transfer of energy to higher trophic levels and vertical carbon transport. Despite their global …

Sea spray aerosols (SSA) are believed to be a significant source of atmospheric microplastic
particles (MP). However, only a few receptor calculations, with considerable uncertainties …

The diversity of microbes and their transmission between ocean and atmosphere are poorly
understood despite the implications for microbial global dispersion and biogeochemical …

Heat waves are causing declines in coral reefs globally. Coral thermal responses depend
on multiple, interacting drivers, such as past thermal exposure, endosymbiont community …

Abstract The NEREA (Naples Ecological REsearch for Augmented observatories) initiative
aims to establish an augmented observatory in the Gulf of Naples (GoN), designed to …
