Abstract The protection of marine habitats from human-generated underwater noise is an emerging challenge. Baseline information on sound levels, however, poorly available, especially in the Mediterranean Sea. To bridge this knowledge gap, SOUNDSCAPE project ran a basin-scale, cross-national, long-term monitoring Northern Adriatic A network nine stations, characterized by different natural conditions and anthropogenic pressures, ensured acoustic data collection March 2020 to June 2021,...
Abstract Previous studies suggest that the common bottlenose dolphin population in Croatian Adriatic Sea is structured into distinct local communities. However, their home ranges and levels of interaction remain unknown. Dedicated boat‐based surveys were conducted seasonally, three adjacent study sites from 2013 to 2017. Photo‐identification data used identify communities by relating social structure descriptors individual animals, determine community interactions between them. The overlaps...
In spring 2021, four unusual encounters with a group of false killer whales were recorded in Kvarner Bay, Northern Adriatic Sea. A minimum five individuals, including calf, observed and two photos taken corroborating species identification. These are the first reported sightings Sea since mid-twentieth century. addition, another encounter was revealed that occurred at end 2000s same location should be added to list historic observations. reports obtained by chance show importance citizen...
