Rob Spray believes the reef needs to protected against fishing activity and cable access.

An ancient algae first spotted four decades ago will now join the collection of the Natural History Museum.

Phytoplankton are primarily confined to the sunlit epipelagic zone, yet intact algal cells persist in the ocean's mesopelagic twilight zone where light is minimal. However, their survival strategies i...

Deep oceans contain microbes with yet-to-be-discovered properties that could drive future innovations in biotechnology.

Integrated palaeontological, sedimentological and geochemical analyses of ancient rocks from Australia show that early eukaryotes were largely restricted to oxygenated benthic habitats, probably posse...
