Underwater image super-resolution plays an important role in marine exploration, as it aims to recover clearer and higher-resolution images from degraded low-resolution observations. However, in underwater environments, this task is particularly challenging due to non-uniform spectral attenuation and particle scattering. Underwater, red light fades quickly, leading to color distortion and loss of details. To address this while...

The African big-headed ant, Pheidole megacephala , is one of the most destructive invasive ant species, posing a significant threat to native biodiversity and ecosystem function, particularly in island ecosystems. Despite recent efforts to characterize pathogens in other major invasive ants, P . megacephala has received comparatively little attention. In this study, we characterized five novel RNA viruses actively replicating...

Thraustochytrids, diverse marine unicellular protists encompassing over 10 recognised genera, are renowned for synthesising polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), with content and composition varying substantially across genera. While PUFAs are known to be produced via PUFA synthase (PUFA‐S) and/or elongase/desaturase (ELO/DES) pathways, the distinctions in genes involved remain unexplored. This study analysed PUFA biosynthetic...

Underwater images often encounter challenges such as attenuation, color distortion, and noise caused by artificial lighting sources. These imperfections not only degrade image quality but also impose constraints on related application tasks. Improving underwater image quality is crucial for underwater activities. However, obtaining clear underwater images has been a challenge, because scattering and blur hinder the rendering o...
