The Extensive Development of the Turf-Forming Red Alga Womersleyella Setacea (Hollenberg) R. E.

E. Norris (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales) in the Bay of Boka Kotorska, Montenegro (southern Adriatic Sea) CLAUDIO BATTELLI & FABIO RINDI University of Primorska, Faculty of Education of Koper, Slovenia Abstract In August 2003, dense turfs formed by the filamentous red alga Womersleyella setacea (Hollenberg) R. E. Norris were found in the open part of the Bay of Boka Kotorska, on the shore of Montenegro (southern Adriatic Sea). The habitat and morphology of the alga are described and the impact of the massive development of this species on the structure of the algal communities is discussed.

Reviewing the evidence for environmental change and population history in the eastern Adriatic and western Balkans during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene Authors Suzanne E.

Pilaar Birch, [email protected] Abstract The eastern Adriatic and western Balkans are key areas for assessing the environmental and population history of Europe during the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene. It has been argued that the Balkan region served as a Late Glacial refugium for humans, animals, and plants, much like Iberia and the Italian Peninsula and in contrast to the harsh conditions of Eastern and Central Europe. As post-glacial amelioration occurred and sea level rose, these regions to the north and west of the Balkan Mountains became forested and were populated by Mesolithic forager-fishers. Meanwhile, to the south, the domestication of plants and animals in the Near East began to cause large-scale environmental as well as lifestyle changes. Even as the Balkan Peninsula was a likely crossroads on the route for the spread of agriculture and herding from Southwest Asia into Europe, issues such as pre-Neolithic settlement, the discussion of human-environment interactions, and the role of climate events such as the 11.4, 9.3, and 8.2 ka cal BP in this critical landscape are often overlooked.

Apsorus is located at the isthmus connecting Cres and Lošinj islands, which is 90 m wide at the narrowest part and dissected by a canal of supposed Roman age. A conspicuous low-lying wetland north of the city has been suggested to be a former sea passage and harbour area.

Norris (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales) is an invasive macrophyte in the Mediterranean Sea, first recorded from the coast of Italy in 1986. This is a review of the geographic distribution and depth limits of W. setacea invasion in the Adriatic Sea since its first record in 1997. Algal turfs were collected and examined from different locations in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea from 2005 to 2009 by SCUBA diving and grab sampling. A total of 50 sites invaded by W. setacea were recorded in the Adriatic Sea; 40 new sites in this research and 10 from the literature records. Womersleyella setacea was recorded from 7 to 72 meters depth. Only sterile specimens without any reproductive structures were found. The magnitude of the invasion is discussed.
