Tintinnid ciliates are suitable models to study the diversity and biogeography of microbial
plankton. In addition to morphological data accumulated over two centuries, most known …

Zooplankton diversity and biogeography have been based on morphological identifications
for over 200 years but are increasingly being studied by DNA sequences. To better integrate …

The spatial patterns of planktonic ciliate communities were studied from May to June 2019 in
the Nile Delta's Damietta region, southeastern Mediterranean. The ciliate communities were …

Abstract Changes in the tintinnid community were studied in the neritic area of the middle
Adriatic Sea from January 1998 until November 1999. Variability in tintinnid abundance …

To examine patterns and diversity of tintinnid assemblages, samples were collected twice a
month from March 2003 to May 2004 at a coastal site in the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea …

Lagoon Bardawil, belonging to the few hypersaline lagoons in the Mediterranean Sea, is
located in the middle of the Sinai coast. Composition, distribution, and seasonal dynamics of …

Diversity of indigenous microbial consortia and natural occurrence of obligate hydrocarbon-
degrading bacteria (OHCB) are of central importance for efficient bioremediation techniques …

Abstract In the Mediterranean Sea, the Strait of Messina (MS) is a very peculiar area,
connecting highly different regions and representing a privileged observatory for an early …

In this review we focus on research performed by Italian scientists on pelagic communities,
from microzooplankton to micronekton, mainly in the Italian Seas. We considered published …

Much has been written on annual variation of tintinnid assemblages although the
mechanism causing the annual variation has been poorly studied either in form of species …
