A five-year of monitoring (2018–2022) the loggerhead sea turtle Caretta caretta nests in “Pozzolana di Ponente” beach on Linosa Island (Pelagie Archipelago, Italy) is here reported. To explore how temperatures affect hatching success and possible occurrence any malformation hatchlings, incubation temperature values were recorded using data loggers positioned at depths 5 35 cm (for each nest) from surface, approximately 0.5 m nest chamber. The obtained results highlighted important issues...
Microplastics (MPs) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs) represent a synergic threat for aquatic environments organisms' health status, with an additional concern over food quality security species of commercial interest. In this study, the ingestion MPs, levels polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDs) were assessed in organisms from two lakes Central Italy, aims exploring bioavailability these pollutants freshwater environments, possible translocation MPs...
