Microalgal Communities in Mucilage Aggregates (Northern Adriatic Sea, Summer 2024) Based on Microscopy and Metabarcoding Open
The mucilage phenomenon consists of the appearance of large gelatinous aggregates floating in the water column. In summer 2024, this event has reappeared in the Northern Adriatic Sea (NAS) on a large scale. This study provides an integrate…

Assessing biogeochemical anomalies in 2024 at an eLTER Site in the Northern Adriatic Sea: the Senigallia-Susak transect and TeleSenigallia pylon Open
The year 2024 presented a series of environmental conditions that attracted the interest of the scientific community, particularly concerning alterations in the biogeochemical parameters of the Adriatic Sea. In particular, the northern Adr…

Microscopy vs. metabarcoding: unravelling phytoplankton diversity in an eLTER coastal station in the Northern Adriatic Sea Open
The Northern Adriatic Sea is one of the most productive areas of the Mediterranean Sea. The combined effects of riverine inputs, circulation dynamics, shallow depths, and wind patterns renders it highly susceptible to climate change and oc…

Seasonal variability of epipelic microphytobenthos community in two subtidal areas of the Northern Adriatic Sea Open
We investigated the biodiversity and seasonality of subtidal benthic diatoms at two sites of the Northern Adriatic Sea differently affected by anthropogenic inputs. Sediment samples were collected seasonally, and diatom cells were then sep…

Epiphytic algal flora associated with habitat-forming brown seaweed in a central Mediterranean coastal area (Conero Riviera, Adriatic Sea): diversity and relationship with environmental variables Open
The Cystoseira s.l. complex includes the most common macrophytes in shallow sublittoral habitats of Mediterranean rocky shores, where they form marine forests providing valuable ecosystem services. These communities are considered to be re…

Trend of <i>Ostreopsis</i> cf. <i>ovata</i> (Dinophyceae) along the Conero Riviera (northern Adriatic Sea) over two decades Open
Harmful blooms of the toxic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata have been a recurrent phenomenon along the Mediterranean coasts in the last decades. Since first recorded, there has been a widespread belief that the extension of this dinofl…

A Hotspot of TTX Contamination in the Adriatic Sea: Study on the Origin and Causative Factors Open
Tetrodotoxins (TTXs), the pufferfish venom traditionally associated with Indo-Pacific area, has been reported during last decades in ever wider range of marine organisms and ever more geographical areas, including shellfish in Europe. Wild…

Ecology and seasonality of Pseudo-nitzschia species (Bacillariophyceae) in the northwestern Adriatic Sea over a 30-years period (1988–2020) Open
The ecology and seasonality of Pseudo-nitzschia species and their contribution to phytoplankton community were analysed for the first time at the coastal station of the LTER-Senigallia-Susak transect (north-western Adriatic Sea) from 1988 …

<i>Nitzschia gobbii sp. nov.</i> (Bacillariophyceae): a common but overlooked planktonic diatom species from the northwestern Adriatic Sea Open
Planktonic diatoms of the family Bacillariaceae, including Nitzschia spp, Pseudo-nitzschia spp and Cylindrotheca closterium, are common and often highly abundant in the Adriatic Sea. During the 30 years of phytoplankton monitoring at the c…

Integrative taxonomy of the <i>Pseudo-nitzschia</i> (Bacillariophyceae) populations in the NW Adriatic Sea, with a focus on a novel cryptic species in the <i>P. delicatissima</i> species complex Open
Species of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia are common inhabitants of phytoplankton communities of the northern Adriatic Sea, reaching high abundances. During 2018–2019, a total of 138 cultured Pseudo-nitzschia strains were isolated from northwe…
