A new study analyzes the evolutionary history of 11 deep-sea species from environments stretching from the central Indian ...

The deep sea, covering approximately 65% of Earth's surface, has long been considered a biological desert. In this extreme environment—particularly in the hadal zone at depths greater than 6,000 ...

Deep-sea fish adapt to some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. New research analyzing their evolution finds the same mutation across fish species that have evolved on separate timelines — ...

Researchers have uncovered over 7,500 new microbial species in the hadal zone, highlighting the extreme ... the harsh conditions of the deep sea. Interestingly, each sample site had its own ...

"These achievements mark China's entry into the forefront of deep-sea life sciences research," the researchers said. The hadal zone, defined as ocean regions deeper than 6,000 meters, remains one ...
