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 and BiVACME team member Hrvoje Mihanović were 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 Melita’s talk was “Sclerochronology research in the Adriatic Sea – what can we learn from bivalve shells?”, while Hrvoje delivered a talk with a title “Measurements in physical oceanography, an important aspect of interdisciplinary marine research”.
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.
Paper on growth chronology of commercially important bivalve Callista chione published in the journal Regional Studies in Marine Science. Research is based on shells sampled from the Gulf of Venice, Pag Bay and Pašman Channel. The first author of the paper is BivACME post-doctoral researcher Hana Uvanović
As a part of Blue-connect project, Reconnecting Science with the Blue Society, Hana Uvanović and Melita Peharda Uljević delivered interactive workshops to two elementary schools in Kaštela, Elementary school Bijaći and Elementary school Kneza Trpimira. They talked about bivalves – their diversity and ecology – and presented the results of research conducted in a framework of the BiVACME project.
In early June, Melita Peharda Uljević visited Brest to participate in the defence committee of the PhD thesis of Valentin Siebert. As a part of this visit, Melita had meetings with Julien Thébault, BiVACME collaborator and Mr Siebert’s PhD supervisor. This included work on a joint manuscript, a discussion on possibilities to process shells from France and short lab training in acetate peel preparation.
