Enhanced Mantle Cooling During Late-Neoproterozoic Records Onset of Modern Plate Tectonics
Whether or not some form of plate tectonics operated during the Archaean eon, what tectonic regime may have preceded it, and how Earth transitioned into the modern plate tectonic regime, are fundamental questions that pertain to the development and main...Whether or not some form of plate tectonics operated during the Archaean eon, what tectonic regime may have preceded it, and how Earth transitioned into the modern plate tectonic regime, are fundamental questions that pertain to the development and main...

Study Reveals Phylogeny and Adaptative Evolution to Deep-sea Chemosynthetic Habitat of Barnacles
Since at least Darwin time, the phylogenetic history of thoracican barnacles has been recognized as both fascinating and controversial, owing to their unique configuration, morphological diversity, convergent evolution, and ubiquity in ocean habitats.

Researchers Find Novel "Nano Killers" for Sterilization and Antifouling
Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB), an anaerobic bacterium, has long been generally considered to be the main culprit in causing corrosion failure of metal materials, which will bring significant impacts and invisible threats to human society.

Climate Warming Causes Northward shift in Southern Limit of Seagrass Zostera marina
Global warming has resulted in an increase of the average upper ocean temperature by 0.07°C per decade. These temperature increases affect marine species and ecosystems in many ways, including enhanced mortality of key habitat-forming species such as s...Global warming has resulted in an increase of the average upper ocean temperature by 0.07°C per decade.

How Do Harmful Algal Blooms Change under Eutrophication and Warming Scenarios?
Under the combined impacts of global warming, eutrophication, and other driving forces, harmful algal blooms (HABs) worldwide are experiencing obvious changes. Around 2000, an apparent shift of bloom-causative microalgae from diatoms to dinoflagellates ...Under the combined impacts of global warming, eutrophication, and other driving forces, harmful algal blooms (HABs) worldwide are experiencing obvious changes.
