Biodiversity, climate change, and adaptation in the Mediterranean

Biodiversity, climate change, and adaptation in the Mediterranean

Potential for, and limits to, adaptation to environmental changes are critical for resilience and risk mitigation. The Mediterranean basin is a mosaic of biodiversity-rich ecosystems long affected by human influence, whose resilience is now questioned by climate change.  This study

Strengthening angel shark conservation in the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea

Strengthening angel shark conservation in the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea

Angel sharks are among the most threatened species of sharks globally. Twenty-two species have been identified globally so far, with three species being present in the Mediterranean Sea. The Mediterranean populations of all three species have been assessed as Critically

Wide-Geographic and long-term analysis of the role of pathogens in the decline of Pinna nobilis to critically endangered species

Wide-Geographic and long-term analysis of the role of pathogens in the decline of Pinna nobilis to critically endangered species

A mass mortality event (MME) affecting the fan mussel Pinna nobilis was first detected in Spain in autumn 2016 and spread north- and eastward through the Mediterranean Sea. Various pathogens have been blamed for contributing to the MME, with an

Lessons from the Western Atlantic lionfish invasion to inform management in the Mediterranean

Lessons from the Western Atlantic lionfish invasion to inform management in the Mediterranean

Major invasions of Indo-Pacific lionfish (Pterois volitans and P. miles) are underway in the Western Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. While the establishment of lionfish in the Western Atlantic is perhaps the most well-studied marine fish invasion to date,

Marine protected area management in the Mediterranean Sea-The case of Croatia

Marine protected area management in the Mediterranean Sea-The case of Croatia

Marine protected areas are widely used tools to conserve marine ecosystems and their services. They are complex socio-ecological systems where human activities and nature interact. Croatia has 409 protected areas, of which 19 are coastal-marine.  This study analysed the management

Mediterranean Sea shelters for the gold coral Savalia savaglia (Berloloni, 1819): An assessment of potential distribution of a rare parasitic species

Mediterranean Sea shelters for the gold coral Savalia savaglia (Berloloni, 1819): An assessment of potential distribution of a rare parasitic species

Savalia savaglia is an ecosystem engineer listed as Near-Threatened by the IUCN, even though effective management and proper monitoring efforts to assess its distribution are still lacking. The record of large, long-established colonies can indicate the occurrence of areas with

Variability between observers does not hamper detecting change over time in a temperate reef

Variability between observers does not hamper detecting change over time in a temperate reef

Marine ecosystems are subject to global and local impacts, both contributing to dramatic changes in coastal communities. Assessing such changes requires time series or the revisitation of sites first surveyed in the past. In both cases, data are not necessarily

Ocean literacy and scientific data acquisition through citizen science campaigns: a mixed approach in the Maltese Islands to collect information on Pinna nobilis and Pinna rudis

Ocean literacy and scientific data acquisition through citizen science campaigns: a mixed approach in the Maltese Islands to collect information on Pinna nobilis and Pinna rudis

The genus Pinna includes two species in the Mediterranean Sea: Pinna nobilis and Pinna rudis. Both these species are under threat from multiple stressors. Pinna nobilis, in particular, has been exhibiting mass mortality events since 2016. This study explored for
