The Northern Adriatic is a dynamic and the most productive part of Sea. phytoplankton is, as many studies in this area showed, under heavy influence freshwater inputs anthropogenic pressures. Cluster analysis more than 20 year data set across steep spatio-temporal, ecological gradients on longitudinal transect northern Adriatic, allowed us to identify significant reoccurring species assemblages. Those clusters show stable seasonality relation environmental conditions are presumed be...
The northern Adriatic is characterised as the coldest and most productive marine area of Mediterranean, which due to high nutrient levels introduced by river discharges, largest Italian Po River (at same time also freshwater input into Mediterranean). a very shallow ecosystem with ocean current patterns that result in long retention times plankton area. phytoplankton biodiversity abundance are well-studied, through many scientific long-term monitoring reports. These datasets were based on...
Plankton studies serve as a basis for marine ecosystem research, but knowledge of plankton is still incomplete due to its extreme taxonomic and functional complexity. The application metabarcoding very valuable the characterisation community. community Southern Adriatic subject strong environmental fluctuations changes, which underlines need frequent, reliable comprehensive plankton. aim this study was determine composition seasonal distribution eukaryotic in Adriatic. samples were collected...
Abstract Marine microbial communities form the basis for functioning of marine ecosystems and conservation biodiversity. With application metagenomics metatranscriptomics in environmental studies, significant progress has been made analysing as a whole. These molecular techniques are highly dependent on reliable, well-characterised, comprehensive taxonomically diverse sequenced reference transcriptomes organisms. Here we present set 12 individual transcriptome assemblies derived from 6...
The genus Aulopyge, represented by a single species, the Dalmatian barbelgudgeon, Aulopyge huegelii, is an endemic with very restricted distribution range comprising several rivers in southern Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina. In this study, molecular genetic analyses based on three markers (one nuclear two mitochondrial) were performed to confirm position of within Cyprinidae, obtain data its evolutionary history, describe population structure diversity. Specimens A. huegelii obtained...
