A 20-year study shows little auks cope with warming seas by changing their habits, but storms and toxic mercury place hard limits on their resilience.

A systematic review of 50 studies found that AI cameras and smart sensors effectively spot and monitor rubbish. However, most systems have only been tested in small, pilot-scale trials.

A major reassessment reveals that 44% of surveyed reef-building coral species are threatened with extinction, largely due to rising ocean heat.

A smart pipeline cleans curvy Tamil strokes to recognise handwriting with over 98% accuracy before translating words into other languages.

In Delaware and Chesapeake waters, the abundance and activity of oil-degrading microbes vary with water salinity, temperature, and nutrients.

A global satellite study found that over half of newly created marine protected areas saw industrial fishing increase rather than drop. Significant declines happened almost solely in fully protected reserves where all fishing is banned.

A systematic review examined how machine learning can recover scenes and identify people from tiny reflections on the surface of human eyes.

Stripping polite corporate filters from leading artificial intelligence models makes their predictions far more fatalistic. Surprisingly, humans strongly agree with these dark visions once they read them.

A lab study shows that the size and polymer of plastic fragments change how quickly blue mussels ingest and clear them. Larger polystyrene shards linger for days, sparking cellular stress, shifting digestive enzymes, and wiping out gut bacterial diversity.

Planting native trees along rivers in oil palm plantations creates cooler, more stable microclimates that shield wildlife from heat. These restored strips could buffer animals against future climate extremes through 2085.
