Under stress, corals and foraminifera may eject algal symbionts ('bleach'), which can increase mortality. How bleaching relates to species viability over warming events is of...

Ocean acidification causes an accumulation of CO2 in marine organisms and leads to shifts in acid-base parameters. Acid-base regulation in gill breathers involves a net increase...

To assess the phenotypic effects of transgenerational salinity change in sticklebacks, offspring were sampled as eggs, freshly hatched larvae, as well as 12, 30 and 90 days post...

Inducing defenses to deter predators is a necessary process theorized to incur costs. Although studies have investigated defense trade-offs, quantifying trade-offs is...

Positions, sampling times and occurence data for the non-indigenous jellyfish species Blackfordia virginica in NW Europe.

In coastal waters the identification of sources, trajectories and deposition sites of marine litter is often hampered by the complex oceanography of shallow shelf seas. We...

The scientific work during SO242/2 (28. August - 01. October 2015) was part of the JPIO Pilot Action 'Ecological Aspects of Deep-Sea Mining'. The main goal was to study the...

Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUSs) are among the most productive marine environments in the world. The Canary Current upwelling system off the coast of Mauritania and...

Polar cod (Boreogadus saida) were acclimated for four months to different temperatures (0, 3, 6, 8°C) and PCO2 (390 and 1170 µatm) conditions. Subsequently, B. saida were...

Human-induced ocean warming and acidification have received increasing attention over the past decade and are considered to have substantial consequences for a broad range of...

Bioturbation of sediments by burrowing organisms plays a key role in the functioning of coastal ecosystems. Burrowing is considered an energetically expensive activity, yet the...

The copepod Temora longicornis depends on constant prey availability. Given that climate change may induce food regime shifts, our research goal was to understand copepod energy...

The present study aimed at a first characterization of the enigmatic JTB255 marine benthic group in deep-sea sediments, by: i) confirming the abundance and ubiquitous...

This data collections contains data from ichthyoplankton surveys in the southern Brazilian region from 1970 to 2010.

Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) is a benthic spawner, therefore its eggs are prone to encounter different water conditions during embryonic development, with bottom waters...

Sexual dimorphism is founded upon a resource allocation trade-off between investments in reproduction versus other life-history traits including the immune system. In...

Scavenger guilds are composed of a variety of species, co-existing in the same habitat and sharing the same niche in the food web. Niche partitioning among them can manifest in...

In this study, microbial communities in hydrothermal fluids from four different venting areas (White Flames, Cage Site, Woody and Babylon) within the Menez Gwen hydrothermal...

Background: Parental care, while increasing parental fitness through offspring survival also bears cost to the care-giving parent. Consequentially, trade offs between parental...

The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the uppermost layer of the water column that links the ocean and atmosphere. It accumulates a variety of biogenic surface-active and buoyant...
