Session 6: Aquatic-terrestrial and coastal ecosystem interactions

Oral

Coastal wetlands are worldwide valuable ecosystems that provides numerous ecosystem services, including flood regulation, carbon storage, water purification, and habitat provision. They are however increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures and climate change which are altering hydrological regimes, soil processes and ecological dynamics. Mediterranean coastal wetlands are biodiversity...

86. Using the Aquatic Metatron to improve eDNA methods and eDNA degradation models

Session 6: Aquatic-terrestrial and coastal ecosystem interactions

Oral

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has become a powerful tool for monitoring freshwater biodiversity. However, its reliability remains strongly influenced by methodological choices throughout the analytical workflow and by the degradation and transport of environmental nucleic acids (eNAs) after their release. Within the PEPR One-Water ALIQUOT project, we aim to better understand the eNA life cycle and...

88. Are parasites capable of reducing the effects of pollutants in fish?

Session 6: Aquatic-terrestrial and coastal ecosystem interactions

Oral

Aquatic ecosystems are particularly exposed to urban and agricultural pollution. Importantly, some intestinal parasites, acanthocephalans, have the remarkable ability to accumulate pollutants from their host. These parasites could prove beneficial to their fish host if the benefits associated with pollutant sequestration, and thus the mitigation of ecotoxicological effects, outweigh the costs...

89. Global Warming and Genomic Diversity Loss Alter the Biomass and the Size Distribution of Experimental Fish Populations

Session 6: Aquatic-terrestrial and coastal ecosystem interactions

Oral

Abstract
Warming and the loss of genetic diversity are two major components of global change for which the combined effects on the productivity and the size distribution of ectotherms have rarely been investigated. However, because genetic diversity should make populations more resilient to environmental changes, the loss of genetic diversity within populations could amplify the impacts...

29. An assessment of climate and environmental coastal risks in the Mediterranean

Mrs Nathalie Hilmi (Monaco Scientific Centre)

Session 6: Aquatic-terrestrial and coastal ecosystem interactions

Poster

The Mediterranean Experts on Climate and environmental Change (MedECC) is an independent scientific network assessing climate and environmental change risks in the Mediterranean Basin. As a unique science-policy interface, MedECC provides region-specific information to stakeholders, governments, and citizens for informed decision-making. In 2024, MedECC published the Special Report on Climate...

27. Contextual learning in fish (Poecilia reticulata) and aquatic insect (Notonecta glauca)

Ms Alicja Fudali (Univeristy of Warsaw)

Session 6: Aquatic-terrestrial and coastal ecosystem interactions

Poster

The ability to associate environmental cues with specific outcomes is vital for survival, influencing foraging and predator avoidance. Contextual learning allows animals to link stimuli with their broader environment, facilitating adaptive responses to dynamic ecological conditions. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of contextual learning in two evolutionarily distant aquatic...
