Abstract: Abstract Colloids in the ocean are mainly composed of natural organic matter (NOM), with trace amounts of metals, metalloids, radionuclides, pollutants, and variable amounts of anthropogenically produced engineered nanoparticles and nanoplastics. State-of-the-art sampling and instrumental… read more here.

Abstract: Highly specialized diving birds display substantial dichotomy in neck length with, for example, cormorants and anhingas having extreme necks, while penguins and auks have minimized necks. We attached acceleration loggers to Imperial cormorants Phalacrocorax atriceps… read more here.
