Sono molto contenta di condividere il mio primo paper (a primo nome). Per me è stato davvero importante scrivere questo lavoro presentato al 52°esimo congresso SIBM, la Società Italiana di Biologia Marina, nel 2023. 🐟 Nell'articolo si parla di taglia minima di conservazione (MCRS), un parametro importante per lo sbarco delle specie catturate in mare e che tiene conto di moltissimi fattori. Eccovi il link per leggerlo: #biologiamarina #pescamediterraneo #ricercascientifica

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗮! Of course I start my life free swimming and become immobile as an adult Meet the 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 I start my life as a free-swimming larvae that goes through several molting stages. My final larval stage searches for a suitable surface to permanently attach itself to for the rest of its life. Now I have become an adult! Do you know we are hermaphrodites? This  means we have both male and female reproductive organs. We can also perform cross-fertilization; where we extend our very long p*nis-like organ into the mantle cavity of another barnacle and transfer sperm. It is worthy to note that we have the longest p*nis proportional to body size in the animal kingdom😏 It can extend to 8 times our body length. Some barnacle species can breed as males and females, while others alternate between male and female roles. P.S. Enjoying this series? Give it a repost. I still remain the 𝗔𝗤𝗨𝗔 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗘𝗡 and you can ask me anything about fish, I will try to answer. ----------------------------------------- Hop on a 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 30-min consultation call with me to discuss starting or scaling up your fish farming production! #fishchronicles   #fishcoach #sustainability #Aquaculture #blueeconomy

The ancient Cirneco dell’Etna breed shows strict seasonality in breeding, with whelping peaks in April and July March, but no monthly influence on litter size or sex ratio. The age of bitches at first whelping is 39 months, with a mean litter size of 4. https://lnkd.in/duNz5AeW

🦅 Un articolo pubblicato sulla rivista Ethology Ecology & Evolution rivela la presenza di una coppia di Capovaccai nelle falesie di Capo Caccia, all'interno del Parco di Porto Conte. Si tratta di un evento eccezionale, che conferma l'importanza del progetto LIFE Safe for Vultures per la conservazione degli avvoltoi in Sardegna. 👇🏻 Tutti i dettagli nell'articolo

🌊 See who waves at us from Namibian-cultivated giant kelp forests! 🦭 Meet the Cape Fur seal (Arctocephalus Pusillus). Although they're not very popular with the fishing industry as they compete for fish - consuming about 2 million tonnes(!) each year, they have a diverse diet, including anchovies, pilchards, octopus, squid, and rock lobsters, showcasing their adaptability as opportunistic feeders. 🦭 During the breeding season, dominant male South African fur seals establish harems of up to 40 female seals. After mating, female fur seals keep their embryo dormant for months, before pregnancy begins. 🦭 The seal's main predators include great white sharks, killer whales, and southern elephant seals. Land-based predators include black-backed jackals, brown hyenas, and occasionally, lions. Our KFF scholars monitor biodiversity in and around cultivated giant kelp forests by taking monthly eDNA samples. When they go to sea, they also keep track of any special visitors. The Cape fur seal is one of them! #biodiversity #bluecarbon #kelp #nature #marinescience #netzero #naturebased

Does the appearance of the female fish inform the male's choice for reproduction? In some fish species, the females are known to be picky in the choice of males for reproduction. This requires that the males put up some dramatic nuptial performances including a change to their body colour. Every male of such species will do whatever it takes to be able to catch the eye of the female... What then is the case when it comes to the males choosing their females? What determines the choice of female that a male fish will 'die' for? #nature #behavioralscience #fish #reproduction #fish_reproduction #fishbehavior

Per una buona resa della fragola è importante ottenere una pianta compatta, con un ottima fioritura e allegagione. Altrettanto importante è la produzione di molti frutti che abbiamo una buona pezzatura, un colore acceso uniforme e una buona conservabilità. #fcpcerea #nanot #agricoltura #nutrizionevegetale #fertilizzante #fragola   Vedi la linea tecnica completa ⤵

Have you seen #hemp #leaves like this? We're continually amazed by the #genetic #diversity we come across in our #breeding program. Today, we're spotlighting a standout trait: exceptionally #large #leaves with high #leaflet counts and interesting primary and secondary serrations The leaf pictured measures over 24cm (9.5 inches) in length and displays an impressive 15 leaflets. These large leaves are more than just noticeable. They may be significant for their potential #photosynthesis. Larger leaves with more leaflets can capture an increased amount of sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis. This #trait may work for breeding varieties for specific climate zones but not for everywhere. It’s important to consider how leaf size not only aids in photosynthesis but also affects water use efficiency (WUE). Bigger leaves can mean greater light absorption but might also lead to increased water loss through #transpiration. The goal in breeding is to find a balance, developing varieties that maintain efficient #photosynthesis while optimising #WUE. This includes traits like controlled stomatal opening or protective waxy coatings on leaves to reduce water loss. We’re eager to engage with other hemp enthusiasts and cultivators. Have you come across leaves with similar sizes and leaflet numbers? How do these traits affect #photosynthesis, #yield, and #WUE in your experience? We like to share our breeding notes with the community on this. #Hemp #Cannabis #HempGenTech #HGT
