One of the primary detrimental effects eutrophication is tendency nuisance cyanobacterial species to increase in number and biomass freshwater ecosystems. The aim this study was investigate possible management actions control assure water use a eutrophic deep Mediterranean climate reservoir, dominated by cyanobacteria. With goal, we defined trophic state Lake Cedrino (Sardinia, Italy) studied its phytoplankton, paying particular attention cyanobacteria, seasonal variation phytoplankton...
Abstract Spread of alien species (AS) is a serious threat to marine habitats and analysis principal descriptors their occurrence pivotal set reliable conservation strategies. In order assess the susceptibility biological invasions, dataset was gathered 3899 from 29 phyla, taken 93 sites located along Italian coast in period 2000–2012. total, 61 AS belonging 11 phyla have been recorded. Invertebrates were most represented (63%). Alien found all examined (EUNIS, level 2), although they showed...
Abstract The temporal variations in phytoplankton abundance and diversity were analysed from 1999 to 2009 Cabras Lagoon, a shallow eutrophic Mediterranean lagoon (west coast of Sardinia). It is one the aquatic ecosystems listed "Marine Ecosystems Sardinia" by Italian Network Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER Italy). objectives this work assess general features succession its dynamics relation environmental factors along decade 1999–2009, identify main forces driving variability terms...
Data from five sites of the International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) network in North-Eastern Pacific, Western Arctic Ocean, Northern Baltic Sea, South-Eastern North Sea and Mediterranean were analyzed by dynamic factor analysis (DFA) to trace common multi-year trends abundance composition phytoplankton, benthic fauna temperate reef fish. Multiannual related climate environmental variables study interactions. Two biological responses detected, with temperature indices as...
Harmful algal blooms represent a severe issue worldwide. They affect ecosystem functions and related services goods, with consequences on human health socio-economic activities. This study reports new data paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) from Sardinia Sicily (Italy), the largest Mediterranean islands where toxic events, mainly caused by Alexandrium species (Dinophyceae), have been ascertained in mussel farms since 2000s. The toxicity of A. minutum, tamarense pacificum strains, established...
Abstract. Predicting the responses of organisms is a complex challenge especially when water temperature expected to increase over coming decades, as result global warming. In this work effects warming on phytoplankton communities were investigated. An indoor experiment was performed, where from Mediterranean lagoon incubated at different temperatures. Three treatments applied in triplicate incubation units: control (11 °C), 3 °C (14 and 6 (17 °C). Our results showed significant by...
1 - The Long-Term Ecosystem Research (LTER) network, now a global reality, was founded on combination of long-term ecological studies, short-term experiments, and comparisons among sites eco-domains. 2 LTER-Italy network officially established as formal member the LTER international in 2006, following wider on-going process Europe; it currently consists 22 representing main ecosystem typologies Italy. Four coastal transitional are included network: northern Peninsula, these include Venice...
1 - Water quality in four Sardinian lagoons (western Mediterranean Sea) was assessed using the Multimetric Phytoplankton Index (MPI), which is consistent with EU Framework Directive. The index developed data on phytoplankton abundances, species structure and chlorophyll a concentrations Venice Lagoon, Italy. 2 aim of this study to test MPI larger geographical scale across range lagoon types. Therefore, it applied assess water Cabras, S’Ena Arrubia, Santa Giusta Calich Sardinia. These are all...
Bysmatrum subsalsum is a cosmopolitan dinoflagellate species that inhabits marine and transitional habitats. Despite its wide distribution, information on the morphological variability, phylogeny ecology of B. scarce. In this study, we provide molecular data strains wild cells from different locations in Mediterranean Basin. The dynamics cell abundances associated environmental conditions during field bloom are also described. Genetic sequences obtained study showed large intraspecific...
We investigated multiannual trends in phytoplankton relation to several environmental drivers. analyzed ecological data collected during the past two decades from three aquatic sites: an artificial lake, a coastal lagoon, and marine area. Hydrographic, nutrient, were statistically detect interactions. In all ecosystems, chlorophyll concentration decreased with increasing abundance of small-sized phytoplankton. Phytoplankton dynamics related nutrient concentrations phosphorus salinity...
The invasive comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi is a lobate ctenophore native of coastal and estuarine waters the temperate western Atlantic Ocean. In last decades this species has expanded its range distribution, colonizing marine transitional environments in Europe. October 2015, during survey fishing European eel Anguilla anguilla Sardinia (western Mediterranean), massive bloom specie was observed eutrophic S’Ena Arrubia Lagoon for first time. November sampling conducted at three stations...
