Due to increasing water temperatures, in recent years, the Adriatic Sea has seen a growing number of species arriving from warmer environments. This study reports first record Sparisoma cretense (Linnaeus, 1758) (Scaridae) along coasts Marine Protected Area Tremiti Islands (Adriatic Sea). The possible origin this is briefly discussed herein.

If we portray borders as places for exchange and co-operation instead of barriers, it is straightforward to picture them as resources for re-unification and conflicts' resolution. The development of institutionalised forms of cross-border co-operation, originating from a will of populations and institutions of different states to face common problems, lead to the concept of Euroregion. The enla...

Symmetric Division Deg index is one of the 148 discrete Adriatic indices that showed good predictive properties on the testing sets provided by International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry. Symmetric Division Deg index is defined by $$ SDD(G) = sumE left( frac{min{d_u,d_v}}{max{d_u,d_v}} + frac{max{d_u,d_v}}{min{d_u,d_v}} right), $$ where $d_i$ is the degree of vertex $i$ in graph $G$. In th...

Investments in transportation infrastructure have been identified as one of the main factors to promote territorial economic growth. However, appraisal methods currently used planning practice do not consider spatial distributional effects, ignoring who within a given region would receive greater benefits from an investment than others (and eventually might worse). In this paper, modelling fram...

Nowadays, container terminals are subject to extensive technological changes and specific transformations. Changes applied tend increase their ability offer high- end personalized services the customers finally affect competitiveness. The estimation of efficiency corresponds terminals’ production with a level inputs has been topic many studies, especially those conducted on wider regional or gl...

An analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence variation in 172 three-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) sampled across the European distribution range revealed three major evolutionary lineages occupying relatively large and separate geographic areas. The trans-Atlantic lineage comprised of populations spanning from the East Coast of USA to the continental Europe and was basal group to th...

The main objective of the recent Adriatic bora study by the Hydrometeorological lnstitute of Croatia was a detailed analysis of bora cases during the special observation period of Alpine experiment (SOP ALPEX) in March and April 1982. The emphasis was on local conditions described by daily courses of wind, air temperature, humidity and pressure at the surface UDK 5s1.5s5.4 Originalni znanstveni...

Genome size (C-value) was measured in four species of Adriatic seagrasses with interphase-peak DNA image cytometry. The estimated 2C-value was 1.5 pg DNA for Zostera noltii (2n = 12), 1.2 pg for Zostera marina (2n = 12), 1.1 pg for Cymodocea nodosa (2n = 28) and 6.2 pg for Posidonia oceanica, using Pisum sativum (2C-value = 8.84 pg) as the calibration standard. Seagrass leaves were fixed in 4% ...
