Bilateral project „Life-history shifts in marine bivalves under natural and human-induced environmental changes: a conservation palaeobiology perspective“, prepared in collaboration with researchers from the University of Vienna, including Dr. Rafał Nawrot, Prof Martin Zuschin and PhD student Isabella Leonhard, has been approved for financing for 2024/2025 period. New opportunities for research are opening up!
Paper on growth of circum-Antarctic bivalve Laternulla elliptica published in collaboration with scientists from France. Fieldwork was conducted by the French team, while shell samples were analysed in our laboratory in Split in a framework of the BiVACME project. Feeling proud that BiVACME is making a global impact.
During a recent visit to the Instituto de Investigatcións Mariñas (Vigo, Spain), Melita Peharda Uljević delivered a lecture on sclerochronology research. She met with Dr Laura García Peteiro and Dr Jose Manuel Fernández Babarro at and discussed options for collaboration.
Dr Krešimir Markulin presented the results of our research on shell geochemistry of Mytilus galloprovincialis shells at the international congress in Poreč. BiVACME is truly an interdisciplinary project
Another exciting evening! Split, city centre & scientists on the streets. We are proud to be part of this exciting event and happy to have the opportunity to share our research with the public – especially children.
Niko Bujas successfully defended his thesis “Age structure and growth of bivalve Unio crassus in different environmental conditions” at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Zagreb. His research was dealing with growth patterns of endangered freshwater bivalve species. Samples were collected in a framework of the HRZZ project METABIOM (PI Zrinka Dragun), while samples were analysed in a framework of our BIVACME project.
BiVACME PI Melita Peharda Uljević was one of the invited speakers at the international scientific symposium Interdisciplinary Approach to Scientific Research of the Adriatic Sea (InspireAdriatic 2023) that took place at the Ruđer Bošković Institute. The title of her talk was “Sclerochronology research in the Adriatic Sea – what can we learn from bivalve shells?”
Amazing meeting organised by Prof Elizabeth Harper at the University of Cambridge – with bivalve researchers from all over the world. Melita Peharda Uljević presented research conducted in a framework of the BiVACME project with the title “Bivalves as archives of environmental change in the coastal marine ecosystem – sclerochronology research in the Adriatic Sea”.
Paper on the longevity of commercially important bivalve Venus verucosa published in the journal Fisheries Research. In a study combining acetate peels and radioactive carbon analysis, the longevity of this species was estimated at 29 years.
Journal Limnology and Oceanography Letters has announced a special issue in Sclerochronology, post the 6th ISC in Tokyo, Japan. The impact factor of this journal is 7.8, and it is listed as second in Oceanography and first in Limnology. The managing guest editor is Kozue Nishida, while two BiVACME people are involved as guest editors – Melita Peharda and Bernd R. Schöne.
