The accurate prediction of wave attenuation across floating breakwaters is essential for coastal structure design and nearshore aquaculture safety. This study employs Physical Symbolic Optimization (PhySO) to model the transmission of significant wave height (H s ) and maximum wave height (H max ) behind a floating breakwater in Lianjiang, Fujian Province. Using in-situ wave data including incident wave height, period, and dir...

In marine ecology research, it is crucial to accurately identify the marine mammal species active in the target area during the current season, which helps researchers understand the behavioral patterns of different species and their ecological environment. However, the difficulty and high cost of collecting marine mammal calls, coupled with limited publicly available datasets, result in insufficient data for support, making i...

Marine mammal calls play a vital role in navigation, localization, and communication. Effectively classifying these calls is essential for ecological monitoring, species conservation, and military biomimetic applications. However, traditional machine learning methods struggle to capture complex acoustic patterns, while most existing deep learning approaches rely solely on frequency-domain features and require large datasets, w...

Aim The Northern Hemisphere harbours the greatest diversity of temperate plants on Earth, with East Asia having the highest species richness compared with North America and Europe. When and how this uneven diversification pattern emerged remains unclear. Here, we use a conifer genus that forms extensive forests in the Northern Hemisphere to explore a fundamental question in ecology and evolution: what processes underlie temper...

The rich and special biodiversity in mountain rivers is experiencing a continuous decline due to the influence of climate change and anthropogenic factors. To explore the alterations in the distribution of aquatic biodiversity in mountain rivers in the context of cascade dam development, the environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding technique was used to examine the aquatic biodiversity of the Wujiang River, a representative moun...
