This study examines relationships between local seawater temperature and wind speeds with biological ambient noise associated with reef fish and invertebrates in littoral sites. Multi-year passive acoustic data collections from Hawaii and Bermuda are examined alongside local weather databases, particularly wind speed and ocean temperature. A positive relationship is evident between seawater temperature and bioacoustic activity in the six coral reef survey sites considered in Hawaii and Bermuda. This relationship between sound level and temperature is strongest in frequency bands above 2 kHz, which are dominated by invertebrate activity. While relationships between wind speed and ambient noise in the ocean have been well studied, the relationship between biological ambient noise and temperature on long time scales has not previously been described. Long-term passive acoustic data collected at a high sampling rate at sites with concurrent weather data allow an assessment of this relationship across frequency bands in both the Hawaiian Archipelago and the Bermuda Rise littoral ocean environments.

Conductive hydrogels have significant application prospects in the field of flexible wearable sensors. However, there are still challenges to stably apply conductive hydrogels in extreme environments and various aqueous conditions. To enable the application of conductive hydrogels across a wide temperature range and in multiple environments, it is necessary to consider comprehensive properties such as anti-swelling ability, flexibility, self-adhesiveness, stable linear sensing, and certain durability.

Hypoxia and elevated seawater temperatures are increasingly prevalent stressors in marine ecosystems, significantly impacting the physiology of marine organisms. This study investigates the transcriptomic and proteomic responses of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) hemocytes to hypoxia alone (water temperature, 23 °C; dissolved oxygen [DO] level, 1 mg O₂/L) and combined hypoxia with high temperature (water temperature, 28 °C; DO level, 1 mg O₂/L) over a 10-day exposure period. Using RNA sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we identified distinct molecular responses to these stressors.

Tissue adhesives have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional sutures and staplers in the management of hemostasis, tissue defect sealing, and wound repair. However, the efficacy of current bio-adhesives in clinical practice is compromised by the limitations, including poor wet adhesion, inadequate mechanical strength, vulnerability to gastrointestinal fluids, and insufficient hemostatic performance. Herein, a marine organism-inspired tough and adhesive patch (MOTAP) was developed to address these challenges.

Cellulose diacetate (CDA), a biobased material widely used in consumer products, is biodegradable in the coastal ocean. However, the effect of water temperature on the degradation rates is unknown, limiting projections of lifetime across space and time. Here, we incubated CDA-based materials (film, foam, and straw), paper straws, polyethylene (PE) films, and poly(butylene adipate terephthalate) (PBAT) straws for 28 weeks at 10 and 20 °C in continuous-flow seawater mesocosms.
