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.
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
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.
Importance of longer term studies in coastal marine environments is clearly illustrated in our new publication. Seawater temperature data obtained, with hourly resolution, from the data logger set in Pag bay in May 2014. These data provide a powerful insight into oceanographical conditions in the eastern Adriatic Sea.
It appears that the decadal variability driven by the Adriatic-Ionian Bimodal Oscillating System (BiOS) is properly reproduced by the AdriSC climate model! That opens the door for quantification of BiOS-driven oscillations in the future climate. More to be read in the Climate Dynamics article.
Paper on nitrogen isotopes (δ15NCBOM) in shells of Pinna nobilis published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science. Research results show significant variations between sampling localities with different anthropogenic influences, with lowest values recorded for shells obtained from Pag Bay, and highest for shells sampled in Lim and Kaštela Bays. High resolution samples obtained from the external shell surface of shell sampled in Kaštela Bay, corresponded to a time interval from spring 2018 to summer 2019, indicate that this animal was experiencing stressful conditions several months prior to its death.
The occurrence of exceptionally high salinities in the Adriatic Sea, including the factors contributing to such events, has been published in Frontiers in Marine Sciences. These events are known to substantially influence the biogeochemistry of the Adriatic, including the growth rate of bivalves.
