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.
BiVACME project leader Melita Peharda Uljević delivered an oral presentation with the title „Spatial and temporal variability in environmental δ15N signals – insights from Mytilus galloprovincialis shell and tissue analyses at the 6th International Sclerochronology Conference. Melita was also involved in the organisation of this conference as a member of the Scientific Committee.
BiVACME post-doctoral researcher Hana Uvanović had a virtual oral presentation at the 6th International Sclerochronology Conference. This was a hybrid conference, with the excellent technical support, that enabled interaction between online and onsite participants.
Dr Hana Uvanović participated in PRIMER 7 and PERMANOVA+ workshop that was held at Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn in Naples, Italy in period 8 - 19 May 2023. PRIMER 7 workshop was held by Dr Paul J. Somerfield (Plymouth Marine Laboratory), while PERMANOVA+ was presented by Distinguished Professor Marti J. Anderson (Massey University and PRIMER-e).
Melita Peharda Uljević received the award for her contribution to natural sciences for the year 2022. The award was given for her research on bivalve ecology and sclerochronology – which was largely conducted in the framework of two CSF projects – SCOOL and BiVACME.
Paper on scallop reproduction and growth publsihed in Frontiers in Marine Science. It contains data for three commercially important scallop species - Pecten jacobeaus, Aequipecten opercularis and Flexopecten glaber and presents an important insight into ecology of these species.
As a part of promotion of book on bivalves, Dr Melita Peharda Uljević presented research conducted in a framework of BiVACME project at national TV. She talked about age and growth of long living bivalves including Glycymeris pilosa and Callista chione. Story was featured on HTV1 in show „Dobro jutro Hrvatska“ on October 3rd 2022.
BiVACME project was presented during the main European Researchers’ Night event in the city centre. Around 2000 visitors, mainly kids visited this event.
