Introduction The evolutionary history and biogeographic assembly of deep-sea Ophiuroidea remain incompletely understood. This study aimed to clarify the origin, spatial evolution, and long-term assembly of deep-sea ophiuroid diversity through an integrative framework. Methods We integrated multiple lines of evidence, including fossil paleogeography, taphonomic-control analyses, global biogeographic regionalization, directional...

A comprehensive understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing offshore wind turbine (OWT) response in liquefiable seabeds during seismic events remains incomplete, particularly with respect to vertical ground motion components and tripartite seawater-structure-soil interaction dynamics. A 3D integrated monopile-seabed-seawater model for a monitored 6.45-MW OWT is developed, featuring acoustic elements for seawater hydro...
