Origin and Genetic Diversity of <i>Barbatula</i> (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae) in Italy. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The stone loach (Barbatula barbatula Linnaeus, 1758) is considered native in Northern Italy and classified as vulnerable (VU), having a limited and fragmented distribution In the present study, 248 specimens of Barbatula sp., collected from sampling sites spanning its entire known distribution area in Italy, were analysed by sequencing the Cytochrome C

Seasonal variations in metal content of two Unio pictorum mancus (Mollusca, Unionidae) populations from two lakes of different trophic state

Journal of Limnology, 2007
To assess the impact of lake trophy on trace element accumulation by Unio pictorum mancus, a population from the mesooligotrophic Lake Maggiore was compared with a population from the eutrophic Lake Candia.

Comparison between the mercury contamination in populations of Unio pictorum mancus (Mollusca, Bivalvia) from two lakes of different trophic state: the oligo-mesotrophic Lake Maggiore and the eutrophic Lake Candia

Journal of Limnology, 2009
This research was designed to evaluate the influence of mussel (Unio pictorum mancus) size on mercury concentration in mussel soft tissues. It also evaluated the relationships between calcium, mercury and selenium in the mussel tissues.

Seasonal variations in population dynamics and biomass of two Unio pictorum mancus (Mollusca, Unionidae) populations from two lakes of different trophic state

Journal of Limnology, 2007
Samples of Unio pictorum mancus collected monthly from spring 2003 to summer 2004 in the meso-oligotrophic Lake Maggiore and the eutrophic Lake Candia were compared to evaluate the influence of lake trophic conditions on mussel populations.

Susceptibility of bacterioplankton to nutrient enrichment of oligotrophic and ultraoligotrophic lake waters

Journal of Limnology, 2008
We carried out laboratory experiments in one ultraoligotrophic pristine Andean lake (Lake Gutiérrez, Argentina) and in one subalpine lake that is now at the edge of the oligo- to mesotrophic condition (Lake Maggiore, Italy).

Phytoplankton assemblages in Lake Orta: has functional structure recovered in one of the largest acidic lakes in the world?

Journal of Limnology, 2016
Lake Orta (Northern Italy) became one of the world’s largest acidic lakes, following industrial pollution, beginning in the late 1920s. Prior to pollution, Lake Orta supported a rich and diversified phytoplankton community dominated by diatoms ...

Metabarcoding to monitor the crustacean zooplankton of a lake improves when using a reference DNA library from local samples

Journal of Limnology, 2023
Biodiversity surveys through morphology provide invaluable data to inform biological monitoring efforts, involving specialised taxonomic skills that are not always available.

Limnology for the ornithologist: effects of Lake Maggiore water level on migratory flows

Journal of Limnology, 2023
Wetlands are widely recognised as the most critical stop-over locations along migration flyways. Wetland ecology is mostly influenced by water levels and water regimes.

EFSA needs for scientific excellence and regulatory readiness. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract Background The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) must keep pace with food system innovation, policy change and systemic pressures, while maintaining robust, faster risk assessment. This paper identifies the scientific needs for EFSA to sustain excellence, and remain regulatorily prepared.

Eudiaptomus gracilis in Italy: how, where and why

Journal of Limnology, 2007
Eudiaptomus gracilis, one the most widely distributed calanoid copepod species in Europe, was not reported in Italy prior to the late 1980s. Since then, E.
