Viruses are ubiquitous biological entities with important roles in microbial mortality, genetic exchange and biogeochemical cycles. Clays, the most abundant mineral constituents on Earth, function as highly effective adsorbents for viruses, critically modulating their environmental persistence and ecological impact. However, the mechanisms and environmental drivers governing virus–clay interactions remain poorly understood. Th...

In recent years, climate change has increasingly shaped the potential habitat distribution of marine fishes, rendering this topic a focal area in marine ecology and biogeographical research. Using the MaxEnt modeling approach, this study projects the current and future potential habitats of eggs and larvae of two ecologically and economically important coastal species, the Liza haematocheilus and the Harpadon nehereus, across...

Marine oil spills pose a persistent threat to marine ecosystems and coastal economies, and their rapid and unpredictable spread requires timely and reliable monitoring. In X-band marine radar images, oil slicks usually appear as low-contrast dark targets embedded in heterogeneous sea clutter, making accurate segmentation particularly challenging. To address this problem, this study proposes a training-free two-stage oil slick...
