| Title | Plankton-derived resting stages in marine costal sediments along Salento Peninsula (Apulia, South-Eastern Italy) |
| Abstract | An oceanographic survey was carried out along the Salento Peninsula in March 2000. Resting stages of plankton were searched for in coastal sediments to study the microplankton composition in addition to the classical analysis of active stages in the water column. A total of 215 taxa were recognised, 149 as active stages in the water column and 74 as resting stages in the sediments. Cysts were widely distributed and at Brindisi and Alimini their abundance was higher than elsewhere. A general trend was observed with resting stage abundance, species richness and diversity in the sediments: all three decreased with distance from the coast. The integrated water/sediments approach used in this study allowed us to collect 37 species (mainly as resting stages) new for the studied area. |

Belmonte, UNILE nell ambito del Progetto di Ricerca INTERREG II Italia Grecia finanziato dalla Regione Puglia. Si tratta di uno dei pochi articoli pubblicati su scala mondiale che analizza la biodiversita del plancton marino costiero utilizzando un approccio integrato acqua/sedimenti, cioe considerando sia gli stadi attivi nella colonna d acqua che quelli di resistenza nei sedimenti. La rivista ha un fattore d impatto per il 2002 pari a 0,447. Articolo in rivista SARACINO ORESTINA giovanni.fanelli FANELLI GIOVANNI fernando.rubino RUBINO FERNANDO |
