PAPER PUBLISHED IN AQUACULTURE

Paper on the stable isotopic composition of tissues and shells in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis from the Krka river estuary published in journal Aquaculture. The results present valuable information on the feeding ecology of M. galloprovincialis, highlighting the complex interactions between environmental factors and feeding habits. Furthermore, this work shows the potential of M. galloprovincialis shell δ15N values as an indicator for nitrogen loading in aquaculture settings and coastal marine environments.

PAPER PUBLISHED IN LIMNOLOGY AND OCEANOGRAPHY LETTERS

An interdisciplinary paper on growth of bivalves in future climate conditions published in a special issue Expanding the Horizons of Sclerochronology of the prestigeous journal Limnology and Oceanography Letters. Research is based on oxygen stable isotope data collected from five species of bivalves (Aequipecten opercularis, Flexopecten glaber, Pecten jacobaeus, Glycymeris pilosa and Venus verrucosa) and state-of-the-art climate model.

PAPER PUBLISHED IN MARINE ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH

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.

New paper published in the Continental Shelf Research

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.

PAPER PUBLISHED IN Climate Dynamics

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 PUBLISHED IN JOURNAL FRONTIERS IN MARINE SCIENCE

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.
