Low microsatellite variation in Aphanius fasciatus from the Tarquinia Salterns [PDF]
, 2011 1 - The Tarquinia Salterns (Latium, central Italy) provided the opportunity to analyse the impact of environmental stress on the genetic structure of the resident population of the killifish Aphanius fasciatus. Indeed, after the salt production ceased in

Salinity Gradient Controls Microbial Community Structure and Assembly in Coastal Solar Salterns
, 2022 Salinity acts as a critical environmental filter on microbial communities in natural systems, negatively affecting microbial diversity. However, how salinity affects microbial community assembly remains unclear. This study used Wendeng multi-pond saltern

Archaeal Viruses Multiply: Temporal Screening in a Solar Saltern [PDF]
Viruses, 2015 Hypersaline environments around the world are dominated by archaea and their viruses. To date, very little is known about these viruses and their interaction with the host strains when compared to bacterial and eukaryotic viruses. We performed the first culture-dependent temporal screening of haloarchaeal viruses and their hosts in the saltern of ...

The recent history of the Tarquinia Salterns offers the opportunity to investigate parallel changes at the habitat and biodiversity levels [PDF]
, 2011 1 - Salterns, although artificial habitats, can be considered as coastal wetlands from an ecological, functional and conservational point of view, according to the Ramsar Convention Bureau (1990).

Settling taxonomic and nomenclatural problems in brine shrimps, Artemia (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Anostraca), by integrating mitogenomics, marker discordances and nomenclature rules [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 High morphological plasticity in populations of brine shrimp subjected to different environmental conditions, mainly salinity, hindered for centuries the identification of the taxonomic entities encompassed within Artemia.
