A long-term monitoring during dredging and non-dredging periods was performed. Total and
dissolved Cu and Pb concentrations, DGT-labile Pb, ultraphytoplankton abundance and …

Abstract The oligotrophic Adriatic Sea is characterized during a typical summer by low
productivity caused by strong water column stratification, which inhibits vertical mixing and …

Bacterioplankton play a pivotal role in marine ecosystems. However, their temporal
dynamics and underlying control mechanisms are poorly understood in tropical regions …

Oligotrophic areas represent a large proportion of the oceans, wherein microbial food webs
largely determine carbon flux dynamics and biogeochemical cycles. However, little is known …

Southern Adriatic (Eastern Mediterranean Sea) is a region strongly dominated by large-
scale oceanographic processes and local open-ocean dense water formation. In this study …

Salinity is a critical environmental factor in marine ecosystems and has complex and wide-
ranging biological effects. However, the effects of changing salinity on diversity and …

We investigated spatial heterogeneity and diel variations in bacterioplankton and pico-
nanoeukaryote communities, and potential biotic interactions at the extinction stage of the …

Artificial neural network analysis (ANN) is used to study the seasonal distribution of viruses
and microbial food web (MFW) components in the open Adriatic Sea. The effect of viruses …

The authors investigated the microbial composition of phototrophic biofilms proliferating in a
show cave using flow cytometry for the first time in such a context. Results are based on …

Bacteria with high nucleic acid (HNA) and low nucleic acid (LNA) content are commonly
observed in aquatic environments. To date, limited knowledge is available on their temporal …
