Thermal desiccation and expression of HSP90 and osmotic avoidance protein genes in an acorn barnacle, Amphibalanus amphitrite
(Elsevier, 2026)The marine intertidal zone (IZ) is ideal for deciphering the organisms� response to thermally desiccated stress during tidal emersion. The distribution of organisms across horizontal and vertical transects is plasticity ... -
Assessment of macroplastic and microplastic pollution in the beach sediments along the Murud, central west coast of India
(Elsevier, 2026)Plastic pollution has emerged as one of the most pressing threats to marine ecosystems, particularly along densely populated and tourism-driven coasts. This study provides the first integrated assessment of macro- and ... -
Assessing the invasion and impact of coral-killing sponge Terpios hoshinota on coral reefs in the Gulf of Mannar marine biosphere reserve: A case study and review
(NISCPR, 2026)The encrusting cyanobacteriosponge Terpios hoshinota R�tzler & Muzik, 1993 has caused severe and often irreversible damage to coral reefs and associated benthic communities in the Indo-Pacific region. Despite its ecological ... -
Decadal variability and forcing mechanisms of the tropical Indian Ocean wind-driven circulation
(Springer Nature, 2026)The surface zonal current (U) anomalies in the equatorial Indian Ocean (IO) reveals a significant peak at a period of 10�15�years, underscoring the predominance of decadal variability. On decadal timescales, U anomalies ... -
Diversity of Pelagic Sea Slugs (Pteropoda and Littorinimorpha) in The Eastern Arabian Ocean
(Springer Nature, 2026)Pteropods and pelagic Littorinimorpha gastropods are critical components of marine ecosystems, playing key roles in trophic dynamics and biogeochemical cycles. This study documents the diversity and distribution of these ... -
First Record of a Rhizaria Litharachnium eupilium (Haeckel 1887) Takahashi 1991 (Class: Polycystinea, Order: Nassellaria) and Description of Litharachnium tentorium (Haeckel 1862) From the Indian Ocean
(wiley Online Library, 2026)Rhizarians form an important component in ocean biogeochemistry, used as paleoproxies and significantly contribute to marine biodiversity. These organisms, which are fragile in nature, are poorly studied and understood. A ... -
Integrated biorefinery approaches for macroalgal biomass valorization
(CRC Press, 2025-10-24)Seaweed biorefinery has emerged as a new and promising concept in promoting a sustainable ocean economy, or blue economy. Like oil refineries, seaweed refineries aim to get different valuable products by using advanced ... -
Submarine landslide-triggered methane seepage and the onset of cold seep formation: geochemical and geological evidence
(Springer Nature, 2026)A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) expedition coupled with a sub-bottom profiler survey was conducted at a recently reported submarine landslide site located in shallow waters of the Krishna-Godavari basin, Bay of Bengal. ... -
The effect of shoreline changes on the development of coastal tourism
(Elsevier, 2026)The shoreline dynamics significantly influence the stability and growth of coastal tourism, particularly in areas where tourism is a primary economic driver. Present study evaluates shoreline changes along the Goan coast ... -
Orbital forcing regulated Arabian Sea denitrification during the late Pleistocene
(Elsevier, 2026)To limit global warming to within 2�C, it is essential to understand the contribution of non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases. Nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, has played a significant role in the recent climate ... -
Alpheus madhusoodanai sp. nov.: a new species of mangrove associated snapping shrimp of genus Alpheus Fabricius, 1798 (Decapoda: Caridea: Alpheidae) from southwest coast of India
(Cambridge University Press, 2026)The present account describes a new species of alpheid shrimp, Alpheus madhusoodanai sp. nov., belonging to the brevirostris group, collected from the Cochin estuary, the south west coast of India. This represents the first ... -
Characterization of thermostable antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory protein from marine Bacillus sp.
(Elsevier, 2026)Introduction Marine microorganisms are rich in bioactive compounds having biotechnological significance. Hydrothermal vents are specifically home to unique microbial communities that have the ability to produce diverse ... -
Overcoming data constraints: Using macrobenthic functional feeding guilds for ecological assessment of an anthropogenically impacted estuary
(Elsevier, 2026)Progressive anthropogenic alteration of estuaries has caused extensive habitat degradation, leading to partial or complete loss of benthic communities. Evaluating the ecological health of such impacted systems is vital for ... -
Long-term seasonal variability in the water-soluble inorganic composition of coarse and fine aerosols over the northeast Arabian sea
(Elsevier, 2026)The chemical composition of atmospheric aerosols plays a crucial role in understanding air quality, climate interactions, and oceanic biogeochemical cycles. This study presents a comprehensive long-term seasonal analysis ... -
Picophytoplankton biogeography, community structure, and carbon biomass in the Eastern Indian Ocean during the spring inter-monsoon season
(Elsevier, 2026)Picophytoplankton are globally ubiquitous and play essential roles in marine food webs and biogeochemical cycles, yet the Eastern Indian Ocean remains comparatively understudied. To address this gap, we investigated ... -
Environmental Drivers of Diatom Assemblage Composition in a Tropical Estuary: a Multivariate Approach
(Springer Nature, 2026)The present study investigates the effects of environmental conditions on diatom assemblage dynamics in the Mandovi estuary, Goa, India. Surface water samples collected from 18 stations revealed a broad salinity range ... -
Spatio-temporal variation in the distribution and community structure of mesozooplankton in Mandovi-Zuari estuarine complex
(Current Science Association, 2026)Mesozooplankton are tiny but mighty members of the marine ecosystems, playing a crucial role in food webs, and serve as sensitive indicators of environmen- tal change. The present study delved into how these communities ... -
Recent advances in techniques for microplastic detection, microbial biodegradation and its genomic insights: a review
(Springer Nature, 2026)The rapid increase in plastic production and use has caused a large buildup of microplastics (MPs) in land, freshwater, and ocean environments. This situation poses serious risks to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human ...
