The increased availability of high-resolution ocean data globally has enabled more detailed analyses of physical-biological interactions and their consequences to the ecosystem. We present IBMlib, which is a versatile, ...

As sequencing technologies become more affordable, it is now realistic to propose studying the evolutionary history of virtually any organism on a genomic scale. However, when dealing with non-model organisms it is not ...

A one-day workshop was convened to develop International Quiet Ocean Experiment (IQOE) program guidelines for measuring, processing, and reporting of ocean sound levels. Fifteen international experts came together from ...

MAPLE is an automatic system that can perform a series of steps used in the evaluation of potential comprehensive functions (i.e., functionomes) harbored by genomes and metagenomes. From April (2016) through March (2017), ...

Metagenomics data analyses from independent studies can only be compared if the analysis workflows are described in a harmonized way. In this overview, we have mapped the landscape of data standards available for the ...

The quantitative assessment of uncertainty and sampling quality is essential in molecular simulation. Many systems of interest are highly complex, often at the edge of current computational capabilities. Modelers must ...

Georeferencing Best Practices provides guidelines to the best practices for georeferencing. Though targeted specifically at biological occurrence data, the concepts and methods presented here may be just as useful in ...

Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) models are easier to construct and use compared to most other ecosystem modelling techniques and are therefore more widely used by more scientists and managers. This, how- ever, creates a problem ...

This Special Issue, the first of its kind for the journal, is devoted to the topic of intercalibration as applied to chemical measurements in the ocean. Rather than giving a formal metrological definition of intercalibration, ...

Transforming raw underwater imagery into quantitative information useful for science and policy decisions requires substantial manual effort by human experts. This process will soon become unsustainable as the volume of ...
