The present study compares the blood-serum proteins of populations of the Levantine viper, Macrovipera lebetina L. from Cyprus and southern Anatolia by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and densitometry analysis methods. There were discernible differences found between the two populations for the blood serum protein features compared. By considering these differences, it is concluded that the ...

Cold-water corals are key species of benthic ecosystems, sensitive to changes in climate and capable recording them the chemical composition their skeletons. The study cold-water coral mound development relation palaeoceanographic variations during Pleistocene Holocene stages Mediterranean Sea has mainly been focussed Alboran (Western Mediterranean). present describes deposits corresponding age...

This study presents sediment cores up to 70 m long collected by the sea floor drill rig MARUM-MeBo70 from cold-water coral mounds in western Mediterranean Sea. From these cores, an unprecedented data set of 200 Th/U ages has been obtained, greatly expanding our knowledge evolution mounds. The records provided new insights into initiation as base a 60-m-high mound was penetrated and dated Mid-Pl...

Sinking particles are a critical conduit for the export of organic material from surface waters to deep ocean. Despite their importance in oceanic carbon cycling, little is known about biotic composition and seasonal variability sinking reaching abyssal depths. Herein, particle flux data, collected Ierapetra Basin three-year period (June 2010 June 2013), have been examined at light atmospheric ...

The mesoscale variability in the Mediterranean Sea is investigated through eddy detection techniques. analysis performed over 24 years (1993–2016) considering three-dimensional (3D) fields from an ocean re-analysis of (MED-REA). objective to achieve a fit-for-purpose assessment 3D field. In particular, we focus on contribution eddy-driven anomalies dynamics and thermodynamics. accuracy method u...

The formation of cyclones over the sea surface is driven by air-sea interaction with feedbacks on wave generation, thermohaline structures, and biochemical properties upper-ocean layers. In Mediterranean basin, strong cyclonic systems having tropical-like characteristics are called “medicanes”. consequences such events usually assessed land, however, hydrographic effects particularly difficult ...
