The proximity of coral reefs to coastal urban areas and shipping lanes predisposes corals to
petroleum pollution from multiple sources. Previous research has evaluated petroleum …

Oil fate and exposure modeling addresses the complexities of oil composition, weathering,
partitioning in the environment, and the distributions and behaviors of aquatic biota to …

We conducted ship-, shore-and laboratory-based crude oil exposure experiments to
investigate (1) the effects of crude oil (Louisiana light sweet oil) on survival and …

Here, we report the initial observations of distributions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAH) in subsurface waters near the Deepwater Horizon oil well site (also referred to as the …

In 2010, nearly 7 million liters of chemical dispersants, mainly Corexit® 9500A, were
released in the Gulf of Mexico to treat the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. However, little is still …

Ecologists sometimes have a less-than-rigorous background in quantitative methods, yet
research within this broad field is becoming increasingly mathematical. Written in a step-by …

To reduce sulfur emission from global shipping, exhaust gas cleaning systems are
increasingly being installed on board commercial ships. These so-called scrubbers extract …

Gelatinous zooplankton play an important role in marine food webs both as major
consumers of metazooplankton and as prey of apex predators (eg, tuna, sunfish, sea turtles) …

Microplastic (MP) leads to widespread pollution in the marine ecosystem. In addition to the
physical hazard posed by ingestion of microplastic particles, concern is also on their …

Planktonic food webs play an important role driving the environmental fate of persistent
organic pollutants, and POP accumulation in phytoplankton has been previously studied for …
