The paper measures aerobic scope in giant isopods across body mass and finds it remains constant despite increasing metabolic rates.

The paper identifies a genomic region in Oryzias sakaizumii showing signs of balancing selection, potentially linked to sexual selection and female mating behavior.

The paper quantifies seasonal changes in sea slug assemblages along Kyushu's coast, showing temperature-driven shifts in species richness and abundance.

This study uses eDNA metabarcoding and acoustic surveys to show that floating offshore wind farms alter the vertical distribution of fish aggregations without changing dominant species composition.

This study shows that nanoplastics reduce larval survival more when ingested via contaminated prey than directly from water.

This study examines changes in nudibranch communities over 60 years, finding increased tropical species and decreased subarctic species, suggesting climate-driven community reorganization.

This study examines depth-related habitat use and body size variation in Bathynomus doederleini, finding depth-dependent size distribution and ecological adaptations to thermal conditions.

This study examines the effects of primary and secondary microplastics on the hatching rate of Japanese flounder eggs and finds no impact.

This study uses eDNA analysis to show Japanese horse mackerel congregate near floating offshore wind farms, with higher eDNA concentrations and seasonal variations linked to turbine presence.

The paper uses eDNA analysis to compare the geographic distributions of two eel species in western Kyushu, finding distinct patterns between Japanese and giant mottled eels.
