Abstract Terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems are connected via multiple biophysical ecological processes. Identifying quantifying links among is necessary for the uptake of integrated conservation actions across realms. Such particularly important species using habitats in more than one realm during their daily or life cycle. We reviewed information on 2,408 European concern found that 30% use Transportation service corridors, which fragment habitats, were identified as most...
Abstract The assimilation of inorganic nutrients by phytoplankton strongly depends on environmental conditions such as the availability nitrogen and temperature, especially warming. acclimation or adaptation different species to changes remains poorly understood. Here, we used a multimethod approach study viability physiological biochemical responses marine diatom Chaetoceros pseudocurvisetus temperatures (15, 25, 30 °C) N:P ratios. Nitrogen limitation had greater effect than high...
Abstract Two main parameters that structure the marine ecosystem by affecting species distribution, abundance, community structure, timing of major life cycle events, and trophic state are temperature nutrient availability. Faced with climate change, eukaryotic plankton cope at multiple levels through physiological accommodation, adaptive evolution, shift in time and/or space habitat, responses. Thirty‐two years our phytoplankton research indicate Chaetoceros curvisetus / pseudocurvisetus...
The temperature increase in oceans reflects on marine ecosystem functioning and surely has consequences the carbon cycle sequestration. In this study, we examined dissolved lipid, lipid classes organic (DOC) production northern Adriatic Sea, isolated diatom Chaetoceros pseudocurvisetus batch cultures grown a wide range (10–30 °C) contrasting nutrient regimes, phosphorus (P)-depleted P-replete conditions. Additionally, lipids DOC were analyzed (NA) two stations characterized with different P...
A new marine strain of picoplanktonic algae, PMPFPPE4, was isolated from a mixed net-phytoplankton sample taken the upper euphotic layer southeastern Adriatic Sea. Evaluation included morphological investigation (by light and electron microscopy), phylogenetic analysis (utilizing plastid 16S rRNA nuclear 18S genes), physiological characterization (screening pigment/lipid composition capturing photosynthesis measurements). The proven to belong genus Picochlorum lipid revealed an unexpected...
Chaetoceros peruvianus is a marine diatom species with circumglobal distribution. While frequently observed, it appears never to dominate the phytoplankton community hence can be characterized as rather opportunistic, generalistic species. Here we present ecological interpretations from long-term data set on microphytoplankton in northern Adriatic Sea, where abundancies and relative contributions of C. were observed along steep gradients. Limited supply dissolved inorganic phosphate was...
Many sexting studies conducted in the Western cultures have shown that percentage is higher less traditional cultures. However, generalizability of this phenomenon to non-Western has not been extensively researched. The purpose study examine and explain cross-cultural differences behavior among subjects from Bosnia Herzegovina Croatia. A mixed methods approach was used. first, qualitative phase included focus groups with two high school students Croatia ( <a:math...
Estuaries modify the concentration and composition of riverine nutrients organic matter (OM), which eventually determine flux effect to coasts. Nutrients, carbon (OC), pigments, amino acids (AAs) from samples collected in eutrophic Wenchang River Estuary (WRE) China oligotrophic Krka (KRE) Croatia were analyzed order have a better understanding how estuaries regulate terrestrial materials. We found clear increase dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) its subsequent decrease due removal DIN...
Abstract Marine life is threatened by global warming and its indirect consequences, which include, among others, increased stratification leading to phosphorus (P) nitrogen depletion in the upper water column. Phosphorus plays a key role all biochemical systems; storage of metabolic energy, formation genetic material, subcellular compartmentalization. Our multi‐year study lipid biogeochemistry northern Adriatic (Mediterranean), becoming warmer nutrient‐poorer, particularly regarding P, has...

Life in estuaries, especially surface waters, is a challenge, particularly due to changes salinity. Environmental inevitably lead acclimation or adaptation of phytoplankton order survive. Since membranes are the first perceive environment, we focused on understanding how estuaries adapt salinity stress through lipid remodeling. photosynthesis one most sensitive processes, studied response thylakoid membrane lipids stress. The study was conducted two with completely different environmental...
