The 2015 Northern Adriatic Experiment: Preliminary results
The paper overviews research activities carried out as within the 2015 Northern Adriatic Experiment, aiming to explore wintertime processes occurring in the coastal northeastern Adriatic Sea. Field campaigns employing moored ADCPs, a towed undulator, a glider, drifters, a profiling float and ship -borne CTD were conducted in the winter/spring of 2014 ...

A synthetic eco‐evolutionary proposal for the conservation of wild relatives of the olive tree
Societal Impact Statement Crop wild relatives (CWR) are valuable sources of genetic diversity for plant breeding. However, the identification of wild untapped genetic resources (i.e., unexploited in crops) is not always straightforward. We propose a methodology to guide the identification and conservation of these resources that integrates both genetic

The Plio‐Pleistocene succession of the Po Plain Basin was interpreted basin‐wide using seismic profiles and well data, identifying six major tectonic unconformities. Sediment volumes were calculated and decompacted to assess tectonic and climatic controls on basin infill, revealing a marked increase in detrital flux after 1.5 Ma, coincident with the ...

Factors favoring large organic production in the northern Adriatic: towards the northern Adriatic ecological model [PDF]
The high interannual variability in the primary production of the northern Adriatic possibly reflects on the secondary production of the entire Adriatic. Although phytoplankton blooms are usually high in summer, the winter phytoplankton blooms are of special interest as in that period of low stratification especially large amounts of organic matter can

ABSTRACT Fishers interact daily with coastal environments, which generate a deep understanding of habitat characteristics, species associations and ecological change. Fishers’ ecological knowledge (FEK) is therefore a critical source of insight for marine science, offering observations that uniquely complement scientific data and, when incorporated ...

ABSTRACT Many sharks and rays aggregate in critical habitats to migrate, rest, feed, mate or give birth. These predictable events, often involving dozens to thousands of individuals, represent important and vulnerable phases in their life cycles. However, fishing activities and unregulated tourism can threaten these aggregations, disrupting natural ...

METEOROLOGICAL FEATURES OF EXTREME PRECIPITATION IN THE NORTHERN ADRIATIC
An investigation of extreme precipitation cases in the northern Adriatic area is discussed in this paper. The criterion chosen for an extreme event recognition is a measured daily precipitation amount exceeding 100 mm day-1. In the 19912000 period, 18 extreme precipitation events were observed at six meteorological stations in the northern Adriatic and

We quantified population density and spatial–temporal niche use of ship rats (Rattus rattus) and Italian wall lizards (Podarcis siculus) on a small uninhabited Adriatic islet using spatially explicit capture–recapture, distance sampling, and camera trapping.

Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...

Winter trends in the northern Adriatic
Winter (February) phytoplankton blooms characterise the northern Adriatic. A significant decrease of winter phytoplankton abundance in the western part and an increase in the eastern one during the 1990-2007 period was observed. Furthermore, salinity and nutrient winter trends in the western and eastern part of the northern Adriatic differ as well.
