Recent advances in underwater tracking devices are illuminating what we know about marine organisms that live at great ocean depths. [38] The information that pop-up satellite archival tags gives aids in fishing closures for certain times of the year and the development of marine protected areas .
As of 2023, Annual Review of Marine Science is being published as open access, under the Subscribe to Open model. [1] As of 2024, Journal Citation Reports gives the journal a 2023 impact factor of 14.3, ranking it first out of 119 in the category "Marine & Freshwater Biology", first out of 65 in the category "Oceanography", and first out of 101 ...
Along with more standard examples of nutritional symbioses in animals, recent advances in genome sequencing technology have led to the discovery of many endosymbiotic associations in marine protists (a protist is a general term to refer to a non-monophyletic collection of unicellular eukaryotes that are not fungi or in the Plantae group) These ...
Recent developments have allowed scientists to look at these creatures more closely, and for a longer time. Marine biologist Jeffery Drazen has explored a solution: a pressurized fish trap. This captures a deep-water creature, and adjusts its internal pressure slowly to surface level as the creature is brought to the surface, in the hope that ...
Thorson's rule (named after Gunnar Thorson by S. A. Mileikovsky in 1971) [1] is an ecogeographical rule which states that benthic marine invertebrates at low latitudes tend to produce large numbers of eggs developing to pelagic (often planktotrophic [plankton-feeding]) and widely dispersing larvae, whereas at high latitudes such organisms tend to produce fewer and larger lecithotrophic (yolk ...
The holobiont concept is a renewed paradigm in biology that can help to describe and understand complex systems, like the host-microbe interactions that play crucial roles in marine ecosystems. However, there is still little understanding of the mechanisms that govern these relationships, the evolutionary processes that shape them and their ...
Recent advances in morphological classification based on skeletal ultrastructure, however, are promising. Crystal morphology within the calcified cell wall of coralline algae was found to have a high correspondence with molecular studies. These skeletal structures thus provide morphologic evidence for molecular relationships within the group. [24]
Historically, marine scientists have played a significant role in communicating the importance of scale in ecology [31] In 1963, a physical oceanographer, Henry Stommel , published a conceptual diagram that was to have a profound effect on all of the environmental sciences. [ 32 ]
