Pacific-origin Tintinnids Have Invaded Arctic Basin: Study
Tintinnids (Ciliophora: Spirotrichea: Choreotrichia) are planktonic ciliates with loricae around their body. They play an important role in material circulation and energy flow from the microbial food web to traditional food chain. Because of their high...Tintinnids (Ciliophora: Spirotrichea: Choreotrichia) are planktonic ciliates with loricae around their body.

Researchers Uncover Transcriptional Regulation Mechanism of Hard Clams Against Heat and Hypoxia Stress
Temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) are two important aquatic ecological factors. When the water temperature increased, the solubility of oxygen decreased. Heat commonly accompanied hypoxia. Heat and hypoxia stresses could affect a series of physiolog...Temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) are two important aquatic ecological factors.

Observed Strong Subsurface Marine Heatwaves in the Tropical Western Pacific Ocean
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are discrete short-term extreme warm water events, which widely occur in the global ocean and coastal waters. Given the strong destructive impacts of MHWs on marine environment and ecosystem, the research on MHWs has become an im...Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are discrete short-term extreme warm water events, which widely occur in the global ocean and coastal waters.
