This paper reviews the utility and availability of biological and ecological traits for marine species so as to prioritise the development of a world database on marine species traits. In addition, the ‘status’ of species for conservation, that is,…

An appreciation of the potential applications of molecular biology is of growing
importance in many areas of life sciences, including marine biology. During the past two decades, the development of sophisticated molecular technologies and…

Marine biology is the scientific study of animal and plant life in the ocean or other marine or brackish bodies of water.
Marine biology covers a large array of organism, from microscopic, including most Zooplankton and Phytoplankton to the huge…

Invading species are a factor for the ecology and health of an ecosystem, which is getting
more and more important. There exist cases where non-indigenous species have had a
negative impact on the native ecosystem, as well as economic…

When humans transport a species to a location outside its native range, multiple biotic and abiotic factors influence its post-arrival establishment and spread. Abiotic factors such as disturbance and environmental conditions determine the…

Welcome to the latest edition of The
Marine Biologist magazine, in which we
celebrate the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030). This
year promises much for nature as the
UN's Gabriel Grimsditch explains in
his introduction to…

Our environmental awareness is steadily increasing, albeit very slowly. This process began when we started to address obvious and visible problems. As a result, our streets, beaches, fields and forests became cleaner, industrial emissions decreased,…

Have you ever seen the ocean? Have you ever been in the ocean? Have you ever gone
snorkelling or scuba diving and gotten a really good look at what exists beneath the
ocean's surface? It's just amazing! The ocean is teeming with life.
When most…

This publication, Our Living Oceans: Habitat.
Status of the Habitat of U.S. Living Marine Resources, is the first comprehensive edition of the Our Living Oceans habitat report to be released since the inaugural policymakers’ summary report was…

This text is designed for a one-semester course at the sophomore to senior level. Some students will have already taken
a college-level biology course with coverage of organismal diversity, and they will benefit greatly. A small number may
