Unveiling the First Regional Reference Database of Northern Adriatic Diatom Transcriptomes

We present the first regional reference database of northern Adriatic diatom transcriptomes, published by Knjaz et al. 2024 in Scientific Reports , providing an essential resource for marine molecular ecology studies. The database comprises 12 transcriptome assemblies from six representative diatom species grown under phosphate-replete and phosphate-deprived conditions, reflecting environmentally relevant nutrient regimes. Marine ecosystems rely heavily on microscopic organi

Impact of Long-Term Phytoplankton Research on the Northern Adriatic Marine Ecosystem

Phytoplankton may be tiny, but their role in marine ecosystems is enormous. Recent research from the Ruđer Bošković Institute’s Center for Marine Research in Rovinj reveals significant changes in phytoplankton communities in the northern Adriatic Sea. These changes hint at deep ecological shifts in one of the Mediterranean's most productive marine regions. This blog post explores the findings of this 24-year study, explaining why phytoplankton matter and what their changing p

Celebrating Dr. sc. Mia Knjaz Successful Doctoral Defense in Oceanology

The field of oceanology continues to expand our understanding of marine ecosystems, driven by dedicated researchers who explore the complex interactions within our oceans. One such PhD candidate, Mia Knjaz, has recently reached a significant milestone by successfully defending her doctoral dissertation. Her work sheds light on the molecular mechanisms behind how eukaryotic phytoplankton respond to environmental stressors in the Northern Adriatic ecosystem. This achievement no
