    Notes: Abstract An ecological study of the calanoid copepod Diaptomus leptopus under temporary pond conditions was undertaken from March 4 to July 24, 1970, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Twice weekly samples were taken from a single station in the pond and among the more important physical-chemical parameters measured were: temperature, precipitation, depth, dissolved oxygen, total alkalinity, total hardness and pH. Initially the desmid Closterium sp. was the dominant phytoplankter but subsequent to May 26, the diatoms, mainly Navicula sp. were most abundant. The dominant zooplankters were the copepods Diaptomus leptopus, Cylcops bicuspidatus thomasi and the cladocerans Daphnia schødleri, Daphnia pulex and Moina recticostris. A positive linear correlation, which was barely significant at the 5% level (r = 0.539) was found between total calanoida and total cladocera. Clutch size in Diaptomus leptopus appeared to decrease with increasing water temperature. A tendency in this species towards suppression of the reproductive activity was associated with increases in the total cladoceran population. Overall metasomal lengths of adult males were less than those reported in the literature. Possible mechanisms of overwintering of this species in the absence of ‘winter eggs’ is discussed briefly.

    Description: The GROSMARIN (which stands for GrandROSMARIN) cruise is proposed by UMR Géosciences Azur (with fellow french and italian research groups). Its goals are to better characterize active structures along this zone and to assess the resulting seismic hazard in a sort of continuation with respect to the MALISAR experiment, which has already surveyed some active structures through shallow observations. The GROSMARIN cruise is in fact the necessary counterpart to characterize them at depth.

    Description: (English Abstract) The Ligurian margin, that is the junction area located between the Ligurian basin and the Southwestern Alps, is a passive margin, seismically active and subjected to gravitative movements. The active deformation in this sector is among the strongest ever experienced in Western Italy and Southern France. The current geodynamics of the basin is not completely understood yet, and somewhat under interest and debate of the scientific community. The latest results on the recent evolution of the Alps-Mediterranean system suggest that the area under study lay close to a domain under extension. The interest for the area is reinforced by its seismic activity that, although of low to moderate energy, acts in an area of high vulnerability. Some historical events involved in fact dramatic social and material damages. The growth of population (that now accounts for more than 2.500.000 inhabitants between Cannes and Genoa), the setting of numerous industries and the tourist business of the area are additional motivation for monitoring the area from the seismic point of view and especially to make specific studies on the seismogenic structures of this sector. Events with magnitude greater than 4.5 to 5.0 are in fact recorded every 5 years, but the area undergoes a rather weak microseismicity that often remains undetected and always poorly located by land seismic networks. The natural risks associated to this sector cannot neglect the presence of steep canyons that incise the offshore margin and favour gravitative slopes. The sediment masses accumulate on top of these canyons and may slip even after an earthquake of moderate magnitude. The GROSMARIN (which stands for GrandROSMARIN) cruise is proposed by UMR Géosciences Azur (with fellow french and italian research groups). It aims at (1) studying the microseismicity along a part of the northern margin of the Ligurian Basin, offshore France and Italy and (2) to realise a 3D tomography by wide-angle seismics. The goal is to better characterize active structures along this zone and to assess the resulting seismic hazard.

    Description: On October 9, 1999 an earthquake of ML =3.6 occurred about 3 km beneath the central cone of Mt. Vesuvius, near Naples, Italy. The event had the highest magnitude recorded for at least 25 years, and possibly since the last eruption of this volcano (1944), and was not accompanied by other geophysical or geochemical changes. The present paper essentially deals with the seismological data collected at Mt. Vesuvius for 29 years before the October 9 earthquake till the end of 2001, and describes the time pattern distribution of seismic slip release and the b-parameter of the Gutenberg^Richter distribution. The self-similarity of the source process is investigated through the scaling law of the seismic spectrum. Results indicate a two-fold pattern of stress release, with high values (up to 100 bar) for earthquakes occurring close to the top of the carbonate basement that underlies the volcano at 2^3 km of depth, and low values (down to 0.1 bar) for the shallow events occurring within the volcanic edifice. The scaling law of the seismic spectrum is non-self-similar, indicating that the source dimensions do not scale with the seismic moment. For this reason the low-magnitude events substantially contribute to the overall cumulative seismic slip release. The bparameter of the Gutenberg^Richter distribution shows a variation around 1980, and a substantial constancy in the other time periods. The presence of extended aquifers, with their tops at about 1 km beneath the crater, favors the hypothesis of the triggering of the shallowest events by water-level changes. This hypothesis is in agreement with the low values of the stress drop measured for the shallowest seismic events. The existence of a carbonate basement with its top at about 2.5 km beneath the crater and the higher stress drops for the deeper events make reasonable the hypothesis that the pre-fractured carbonate basement may be the site of tectonic stress release.

    Description: We present regional centroid-moment tensor (RCMT) solutions for 168 moderate-magnitude earthquakes that occurred in the European-Mediterranean region during 2001 and 2002. Events with moment magnitudes as low as 4.0 were successfully analyzed, although this low threshold is only achievable in regions with the best azimuthal coverage and with stations at a few hundred kilometers distance. Earthquakes with focal depths from 10 to more than 200 km were analyzed. Comparison with standard Harvard CMTs, when available, shows good agreement. The solutions shown in this paper represent an addition to the European-Mediterranean RCMT catalog that we are maintaining. The RCMT catalog now spans 6 years, from 1997 to 2002, and contains 420 solutions. We also outline the main seismic sequences that occurred in the European-Mediterranean region during 2001–2002.

    Description: We present the results obtained combining different techniques to determine the seismotectonic character of the Garfagnana region (northern Tuscany). There, the existence of a rather complex fault system is acknowledged and somewhat mapped, but apart from the geological evidences, very little is known about its extension with depth and the regime. The seismic potential of the system is also well known. The area was characterized, in the past, by destructive earthquakes; in particular a major event (Ms=6.4) struck the Lunigiana-Garfagnana area in September 1920, but many others have been reported. Therefore, the seismicity is under constant monitoring by the national seismic network (RSNC – National Central Seismic Network) and a pool of local stations, belonging to a regional network (RSLG – Regional Seimic network of Lunigiana and Garfagnana). These additional stations account for the lower magnitude seismicity. Such a concentration of seismic stations, and the consequent availability of several seismograms, makes likely to record and localize earthquakes down to a very low magnitude threshold (inferior to Ml = 2.0) with extremely narrow hypocentral parameter errors . Making use of the resulting databases, several analyses were conducted to determine the shape, size, extension with depth of the fault and the associated seismicity. The methodology consists in seismic tomography (1D and 3D velocity models), precise location algorithms NonLinLoc and HypoDD (very constrained and reliable locations) and computation of focal mechanisms (fault orientation and source), all combined with the constraints provided by the geology. The main findings of the study are that the concentration of the recent seismic activity is close to the likely location of the most relevant historical events. In particular the earthquakes are distributed along a plane in the range 0 – 20 km depth dipping 30° NE. All focal mechanisms show a transtensive character.

    Description: Reaction path modelling, coupled with preparatory inverse modelling, was applied to test this model's ability to reproduce the wide compositional range of ground waters circulating in a restricted area in Piedmont, Italy. This approach is based on the assumption that the chemistry of groundwater evolves through a series of partial equilibria with secondary minerals until it reaches its final composition. PHREEQC [Parkhurst, D.L., Appelo, C.A.J., 1999. User's guide to PHREEQC-A computer program for speciation, reaction-path, 1D-transport, and inverse geochemical calculations. U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report, pp. 99-4259] and EQ3/6 [Wolery, T.J., Daveler, S.A., 1992. EQ6, A Computer Program for Reaction Path Modeling of Aqueous Geochemical Systems: Theoretical Manual, User's Guide and Related Documentation (version 7.0). Report UCRl-MA-110662 PT IV. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, California] software packages were used to effect simulations. Reaction-path modelling was performed in time mode, taking into account the different rates of dissolution of each dissolving mineral. Data from literature regarding the kinetic parameters of dissolving minerals and the mineralogical composition of the host-rock were used. The results of the reaction-path modelling show that the composition of the analysed water samples was adequately reproduced, notwithstanding the hydrogeological complexity of the studied area. Modelling results provided very different water compositions as an effect of the chemical maturity, the physico-chemical parameters ( fCO2, fO2, and temperature) and the variable amounts of gypsum among dissolving rock-forming minerals, which occur in Miocene levels of the sedimentary sequence. Further variability is related to the occasional contribution of brackish waters trapped in euxinic marly sediments, locally sealed by overlying clays, that have assumed an artesian character. The composition of some of the water samples can only be predicted by simulation runs performed at a temperature higher than that of the outlet (40 °C). These warm waters probably circulate in a restricted area near the town of Nizza Monferrato. The same area has recently been affected by moderate seismicity, which has been accompanied by changes in either the temperature or chemistry, or both, of the ground waters. The changes recorded, interpreted as having been triggered by variations in the local/regional stress load and/or seismic activity, have to be ascribed to the vertical heterogeneity of the aquifers, where waters of different temperature, salinity and chemical composition circulate and occasionally mix.

    Description: In this study we discuss the available data on seismicity and focal mechanisms in the Sannio-Matese area in order to obtain information on the stress field acting in the area. Background seismicity of the area is characterized by isolated events, with magnitude generally less than 2.5, on which is superimposed a swarm and seismic sequence activity of low magnitude (max magnitude 4.1). The epicentral distribution of both isolated events and seismic sequences, disclose NE-SW striking active faults that fall in between the fault segments of the large historical earthquakes which occurred in the area. The available information on the stress field deducible from the focal mechanisms of the area agrees that a general extensional stress regime is acting. Locally both NE-SW and NNW-SSE extensions are observed. The large scale stress regime deduced from the focal mechanisms of strong instrumental earthquakes which occurred in the Apennines supports the local NE-SW extension but cannot explain the normal movements related to a NW-SE extension. The local longitudinal extension observed, supported by GPS data, can be explained utilizing large scale geodynamic models.

    Description: 27,646 P- and 15,025 S-wave readings obtained from 2238 earthquakes and 84 artificial sources were used to perform tomographic inversion of P velocity and VP/ VS ratio in the crust of Calabrian Arc by Thurber´s inversion algorithm. For this investigation a seismic database with more than twelve-thousand events was built, including all local earthquake data recorded between 1978 and 2001 at all stations of the national and local networks in south Italy. Spread Function computations and checkerboard and restore tests proved higher accuracy of velocity estimates in the upper 40 km beneath Calabrian Arc compared to previous investigations in the same area. The obtained three-dimensional velocity model furnished remarkable improvement of hypocenter locations of the global earthquake dataset (RMS reduction of 38% respect to 1D locations) and greater accuracy in the definition of microplates and tectonic units in the study region. Velocity domains evidenced by our tomography correspond to tectonic units locally identified with geological methods by previous investigators and allow us to better detail their shape and geometry at depth. In particular, at a depth of about 20 km beneath Calabria we detected the deep contact between the overthrusting Tyrrhenian crust and the subducting Ionian slab, improving the accuracy of the current subduction model of the Calabrian Arc region.

    Description: Thermally anomalous fluids released in seismic areas in Slovenia were the subjects of geochemical monitoring. Thermal waters were surveyed from the seismically active area of Poso$cje (Bled and Zatolmin; NW Slovenia) and from Rogaska Slatina in eastern Slovenia. Continuous monitoring of geochemical parameters (radon concentration, electrical conductivity, and water temperature) was performed with discrete gas sampling for their 3He/4He ratio. The observed values were correlated with meteorological parameters (rainfall, barometric pressure and air temperature) and with seismic activity. Only a few earthquakes occurred in the vicinity of the measuring sites during the monitoring period. Nevertheless, changes in radon concentration, water temperature, electrical conductivity and helium isotopic ratio were detected at the three thermal springs in the periods preceding the earthquakes. A close correlation was also observed of both water temperature and electrical conductivity with the Earth tide, making the observations in the selected sites a promising tool for addressing the widely debated question of earthquake prediction.

    Description: In a recent paper we compared the earthquake hypocenters, plotted according to updated catalogs, with the structure of the earth’s Crust interpreted after the results of seismic exploration (mainly the Deep Seismic Soundings – DSS). The comparison was made along several cross sections in the Alpine range, the Italian Peninsula and the surrounding seas. The main conclusions of this analysis were that 1) the majority of the events is positioned in the upper, rigid crust and 2) the earthquakes tend to concentrate above the discontinuities unveiled by the seismic exploration in the deep crust and at the Moho boundary. With the goal to shed some light on the continuation of these structures with depth, in this paper a similar analysis is conducted even in volumes where DSS information are not available. It is apparent that the upper mantle seismicity is very unevenly distributed; therefore we only focus on the areas where a sub-crustal seismicity is recorded, adding to the seismic models of the crust some information, if available, on the physical characters of the upper Lithosphere. Four areas are examined: the well known Calabrian (Aeolian) Arc where the Ionian plate is subducted beneath the Tyrrhenian, thin crust of oceanic type, the active subduction of the slab being witnessed by deep and very deep earthquakes; the north-central Apennines where the continental crust of the Adria microplate seems also subducted beneath the transitional, peri-Tyrrhenian type of crust but where the observed hypocenters are limited to the depth of about 100 km; the northern Apennines, where the same type of subduction seems to occur beneath the north-eastern slope of the mountain range, though evidenced by an even smaller number of events; finally, the western Alps: also here a small group of foci are recorded in the upper Mantle beneath the southern end of the “Ivrea body”. The different behavior of deep seismicity in the four areas confirms that the Italian peninsula is formed of sectors deriving from different geodynamical processes.

    Description: In this paper we present the seismicity analysis of a small sector of the Northern Apennines in 27 terms of spatio-temporal distribution, merging data from the Italian seismic bulletin with new 28 data collected by temporal seismic networks. Our attention is focused on the region enclosed 29 between Toscana, Umbria, Marche and Emilia-Romagna. This area is mainly characterized by a 30 diffuse seismicity, partly clustered in small sequences (Mw 〈 4.7). Improved seismicity locations, 31 together with stress field analysis allows to characterize the manner of seismogenic stress release 32 in the area. Two regions of significantly different seismic release behavior could be 33 distinguished: (i) the inner/western part (Tuscan side) of the study area, where seismicity is 34 clustered at shallow depths (〈18 km) and where strong earthquakes occurred in the past, (ii) the 35 outer(eastern) part (Marche side), where the seismicity is diffuse across all of the crustal volume, 36 reaching depths of down to 30 km. 37 Along the Apenninic chain, seismicity is nearly absent inside well defined zones. In our opinion, 38 these peculiarities of seismicity release could be related to the heterogeneity of crustal volume 39 and to the transition between Tyrrhenian and Adriatic domains.

    Description: This study presents a detailed analysis and interpretation of the seismicity that occurred on July 2-7 and August 22, 2000, during a ground uplift episode which started on March 2000 at Solfatara crater, Campi Flegrei. Earthquakes are located using a probabilistic grid-search procedure acting on a 3-D heterogeneous earth structure. The mainshock of the July swarm depicts a spectrum characterized by a few narrow peaks spanning the 1^5-Hz frequency band. For this event, we hypothesize a direct involvement of magmatic fluids in the source process. Conversely, the spectra of the August events are typical of shear failure. For these latter events, we evaluate the source properties from P-and Swave displacement spectra. Results for the most energetic shocks (Md around 2) yield a source radius in the order of 100 m and stress drop around 10 bars, in agreement with most of the earthquakes that occurred during the 1982-1984 bradyseismic crises. For the August swarm we identify two clusters of similar earthquakes. Application of highresolution relative location techniques to these events allows for the recognition of two parallel alignments trending NE^SW. The relationship among source dimension and relative location evidences overlapping of sources. This may be interpreted in terms of either a heterogeneous stress field or a lubrication process acting over the fault surface. For a selected subset of the August events, we also analyze the splitting of the shear waves: results are indicative of wave propagation through a densely fractured medium characterized by a distribution of cracks oriented NE-SW. The pattern of faulting suggested by relative locations and shear-wave splitting is not consistent with the surface trace of NW^SE striking faults. However, a detailed mesostructural analysis carried out over the Solfatara area indicated the occurrence of two main crack systems striking NW-SE and NE-SW. This latter system shows a strike consistent with that derived from seismic evidence. Results from a stress analysis of the crack systems indicate that a fluid overpressure within the NW-SE-striking faults is able to form NE-SW cracks. We found that the pressure of fluids Pf required to activate the NW-SE faults is less than cHmin, while the Pf value required to open the NE-SW cracks is higher than cHmax. Our main conclusions are: (a) the Solfatara area is affected by two orthogonal fracture systems, and the fluid pathway during the 2000 crisis mainly occurred along the NNE-SSW/NE-SW-striking crack system; (b) the July seismicity is associated to the upward migration of a pressure front triggered by an excess of fluid pressure from a small-size magmatic intrusion; conversely, the August events are associated to the brittle readjustment of the inflated system occurring along some lubricated structures.

    Description: The INGV-Harvard European-Mediterranean Regional Centroid Moment Tensor (RCMT) Catalog collects solutions routinely computed since 1997 for earthquakes with moderate magnitude (4.5 ≤ M ≤ 5.5) in the Mediterranean region. The database represents an extension to smaller magnitudes of the Harvard global CMT catalog, based on analysis of seismograms recorded at regional distance, and modeling of intermediate period surface waves. The catalog includes about 600 events, 200 of which in the Italian region. This study extends the catalog back in time, for the Italian region, as long as made possible by available digital data – i.e. since 1977 – with the same analysis and inversion method used for current seismicity. As a result, we present here 65 new moment tensors, for years between 1977 and 1997. These solutions represent 45% of the total number of events analyzed, the existing seismograms being often too scarce to allow a stable solution. The new dataset includes events in many seismic zones where moderate seismicity had previously been scarcely documented, e.g., the Po Plain, the Central to Southern Apennines and the Adriatic Sea. The complete dataset, including previously determined RCMTs and CMTs, represents the seismic deformation in the Italian area during the last 25 years.

    Description: Several fundamental questions concerning: i) the geophysical and geochemical processes controlling normal faulting and earthquake ruptures during moderate-to-large seismic events and ii) the low angle normal fault paradox, still need to be fully answered. In this work we aim to present an example of low angle normal fault (Alto Tiberina Fault) located in the Northern Apennines (Italy) showing conclusive evidence of its seismic activity. This fault is a likely target of an international project: the MOLE (Multidisciplinary Observatory and Laboratory of Experiments) Drilling project. Indeed, under the auspices of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program a workshop is being organized in Italy next spring 2008, to promote the creation of an international multidisciplinary team of scientists, to discuss the project in detail and also to prepare a full proposal for ICDP. This project wants to investigate the inner structure of normal faults in Central Italy to get physical constraints on the processes controlling faulting and earthquake mechanics. The Umbria-Marche sector of Northern Apennines offers a unique opportunity to reach a complex system of normal faults among which we selected two possible targets. 1) The active Colfiorito fault dipping about 45° toward SW which Tiberina low angle normal fault dipping 15°-25° towards ENE, which moves through a combination of aseismic creep and repeating microearthquakes. Drilling the Colfiorito active fault at a depth of about 2-3 km allows targeting the high coseismic slip patch of the 1997 earthquake M=6 seismogenic structure. Drilling the Alto Tiberina Fault at a depth of nearly 5-6 km will target a micro seismicity source. We aim to collect new original data through borehole logging and sampling and to set up a permanent observatory at depth for a multidisciplinary monitoring to characterize these active normal fault zones. This will allow to understand how such faults behave and to create more realistic models of: earthquake nucleation, seismicity pattern, stress interactions and earthquake triggering at local and regional scale. Both drilling targets present relevant technical issues that should be discussed from different points of view before selecting the starting drilling site.

    Description: During the 2005-06 Austral Summer, we carried out a joint observational campaign in the area of the David Glacier, South Victoria Land, with the aim of collecting simultaneous time series of geodetic and seismological data. We installed 7 temporary seismographic stations on rock outcrops surrounding the glacier and 3 temporary geodetic stations both on flowing ice and on rock. The seismic network registered a significant low-energy seismic activity, principally originated by ice creeping and basal stress at the interface between the ice and the bedrock. The geodetic stations allowed us to survey the glacier kinematics forced by the Ross Sea tides, and to infer the grounding line location. Here we show some details about data analysis and preliminary results.

    Description: We analyzed the instrumental seismicity of Southern Italy in the area including the Lucanian Apennines and Bradano foredeep, making use of the most recent seismological data base available so far. P- and S-wave arrival times, recorded by the Italian National Seismic Network (RSNC) operated by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), were re-picked along with those of the SAPTEX temporary array deployed in the region in the period 2001–2004. For some events located in the upper Val d'Agri, we also used data from the Eni-Agip oil company seismic network. We examined the seismicity occurred during the period between 2001 and 2006, considering 514 events with magnitudes M≥2.0. We computed the VP/VS ratio obtaining a value of 1.83 and we carried out an analysis for the one-dimensional (1D) velocity model that approximates the seismic structure of the study area. Earthquakes were relocated and, for well- recorded events, we also computed 108 fault plane solutions. Finally, using 58 solutions, the most constrained, we computed regional stress field in the study area. Earthquake distribution shows three main seismic regions: the westernmost (Lucanian Apennines) characterized by high background seismicity, mostly with shallow hypocenters, the easternmost below the Bradano foredeep and the Murge with deeper and more scattered seismicity, and finally the more isolated and sparse seismicity localized in the Sila Range and in the offshore area along the northeastern Calabrian coast. Focal mechanisms computed in this work are in large part normal and strike-slip solutions and their tensional axes (T-axes) have a generalized NE–SW orientation. The denser station coverage allowed us to improve hypocenters determination compared to those obtained by using only RSNC data, for a better characterization of the crustal and subcrustal seismicity in the study area.

    Description: The Messina Strait is the most important structural element interrupting the southernmost part of the Alpine-Apenninic orogenic belt, known as the Calabro-Peloritan Arc. It is being a narrow fan-shaped basin linking the Ionian Sea to the Tyrrhenian Sea. This region is affected by considerable seismic activity which mirrors the geodynamic processes due to the convergence between the African and the Eurasian plates. In the last four centuries, a significant number of disastrous earthquakes originated along the Arc. Among these, the most noteworthy event occurred on December 28, 1908 (known as the Reggio Calabria-Messina earthquake), in the Messina Strait area and caused a large tsunami and more than 100,000 casualties. In this research we focus on the relationships between the general tectonic setting, which characterize the Messina Strait and adjacent areas, seismicity patterns and the crustal structure. We analyzed a data set consisting of more than 300 events occurring in the years from 1999 to 2007, having a magnitude range from 1.0 to 3.8. This data set was exploited in a local earthquake tomography, by carrying out a simultaneous inversion of both the three-dimensional velocity structure and the distribution of seismic foci. We applied the “tomoADD” algorithm, which uses a combination of absolute and differential arrival times and a concept of self-adapting grid geometry, accounting for ray density encountered across the volume. With this method the accuracy of event locations is improved and velocity structure near the source region is resolved in more detail than standard tomography. Fault plane solutions were obtained for the major and best-recorded earthquakes. The obtained velocity images highlight vertical and lateral heterogeneities that can be associated with structural features striking from NNE-SSW to NE-SW. These results are consistent with important tectonic elements visible at the surface and the pattern delineated by earthquake locations and focal mechanisms.

    Description: This study summarizes the results of structural, geochemical and seismological surveys carried out at Nisyros volcano (Aegean Sea, Greece) during 1999–2001. Field mapping and mesostructural measurements at the summit caldera (Lakki plain) indicate that faults follow two main strikes: NE-SW and N-S. The N-S striking fault depicts extensional features accommodating the left-lateral component of motion of the NE-SW- striking main faults. The NE-SW preferred strike of the Lakki faults and of the mineral-filled veins as well as the distribution and NE-SW elongation of the hydrothermal craters indicate that tectonics plays a major role in controlling the fluid pathway in the Nisyros caldera. The same NE-SW trend is depicted by CO2 anomalies revealed through detailed soil CO2 flux surveys, thus indicating a structural control on the pattern of the hydrothermal degassing. Degassing processes account for a thermal energy release of about 43 MW, most of which occurs at Lofos dome, an area that was affected by hydrothermal eruptions in historical times. The seismic study was conducted in June 2001, using a deployment specifically aimed at detecting signals of magmatic-hydrothermal origin. Our instruments recorded local and regional earthquakes, a few local longperiod events (LP), and bursts of monochromatic tremor. Local earthquake activity is concentrated beneath the caldera, at depths generally shallower than 6 km. Planewave decomposition of tremor signal indicates a shallow (〈200 m) source located in the eastern part of the caldera. Conversely, LP events depict a source located beneath the central part of the caldera, in the area of Lofos dome, at depths in the 1–2-km range. In agreement with geochemical and structural measurements, these data suggest that both the deeper and shallower part of the hydrothermal system are subjected to instability in the fluid flow regimes, probably consequent to transient pressurization of the reservoir. These instabilities may be related to input of hot fluids from the deeper magmatic system, as suggested by the variations in geochemical parameters observed after the 1997–1999 unrest episode. The significance of seismological and geochemical indicators as precursors of hydrothermal explosive activity at Nisyros is discussed.

    Description: Seismic quiescence and accelerating seismic energy release are considered as possible spatio-temporal patterns of the preparation process of the 6 September 2002 Palermo, Italy, earthquake (M 5.8). The detailed properties of the quiescence are analyzed applying the RTL algorithm. The RTL algorithm is based on the analysis of the RTL prognostic parameter, which is designed in such a way that it has a negative value if, in comparison with long-term background, there is a deficiency of events in the time–space vicinity of the tested point. The RTL parameter increases if activation of seismicity takes place. The RTL algorithm identified that a seismic quiescence started from the beginning of November 2001 and reached its minimum at the end of May 2002. The Palermo 2002 earthquake occurred 2 months after the RTL parameter restored its long-term background level. The application of a log-periodic time-to-failure model gives a ‘‘predicted’’ (in retrospect) magnitude M= 6.2 main shock on 5 May 2002.

    Description: The 1995–2004 seismicity in the Gargano Promontory (hereafter GP) foreland at the transition zone between Southern and Northern Apennine belts (Italy) is analyzed with the aim to put constraints on the present-day kinematics of this key-area of the foreland. The spatial distribution of earthquakes and 54 calculated focal mechanisms show that that the main GP ruptures develop along E-W striking, right-lateral strike-slip faults and NW- SE, normal to left-lateral second-order faults that move in response to a prevailing NW-SE compression (i.e. NE-SW extension). Tacking into account the depth of the relocated seismicity and the available geological information, we propose that the GP shear zone represents an E-W striking, major crustal discontinuity separating sectors of the foreland that move in response to the higher, northeastward propagation velocity of the thrust front of the Northern Apennines with respect to that of the Southern Apennines.

    Description: Reaction path modelling, coupled with preparatory inverse modelling, was applied to test this model’s ability to reproduce the wide compositional range of ground waters circulating in a restricted area in Piedmont, Italy. This approach is based on the assumption that the chemistry of groundwater evolves through a series of partial equilibria with secondary minerals until it reaches its final composition. PHREEQC (Purkhurst and Appelo, 1999) and EQ3/6 (Wolery and Daveler, 1992) software packages were used to effect simulations. Reaction-path modelling was performed in time mode, taking into account the different rates of dissolution of each dissolving mineral. Data from literature regarding the kinetic parameters of dissolving minerals and the mineralogical composition of the host-rock were used. The results of the reaction-path modelling show that the composition of the analysed water samples was adequately reproduced, notwithstanding the hydrogeological complexity of the studied area. Modelling results provided very different water compositions as an effect of the chemical maturity, the physico-chemical parameters (fCO2, fO2, and temperature) and the variable amounts of gypsum among dissolving rock-forming minerals, which occur in Miocene levels of the sedimentary sequence. Further variability is related to the occasional contribution of brackish waters trapped in euxinic marly sediments, locally sealed by overlying clays, that have assumed an artesian character. The composition of some of the water samples can only be predicted by simulation runs performed at a temperature higher than that of the outlet (40°C). These warm waters probably circulate in a restricted area near the town of Nizza Monferrato. The same area has recently been affected by moderate seismicity, which has been accompanied by changes in either the temperature or chemistry, or both, of the ground waters. The changes recorded, interpreted as having been triggered by variations in the local/regional stress load and/or seismic activity, have to be ascribed to the vertical heterogeneity of the aquifers, where waters of different temperature, salinity and chemical composition circulate and occasionally mix.

    Description: We describe the recent activity of the Cayambe-Afiladores-Sibundoy Fault (CASF) and recognise it as one of the major potential active structures of northwestern South America, based on field observations, stereoscopic aerial photos of offset late Pleistocene-Holocene deposits and landforms, and crustal seismic activity. The CASF runs for at least 270 km along the sub-Andean zone of northern Ecuador and southern Colombia. We measured systematic latest Pleistocene-Holocene right-lateral strike-slip motion and right-lateral reverse motion consistent with earthquake focal mechanism solutions, and estimated a 7.7 +/- 0.4 to 11.9 +/- 0.7 mm/yr slip-rate. Magnitudes of the earthquakes that could be generated by possible fault-segment reactivation range up to M 7.0 +/- 0.1. The CASF should be considered as a major source of possible future large magnitude earthquakes, presenting a seismic hazard for the densely populated regions to the west. The CASF is part of the tectonic boundary of the North Andean block escaping NNE-wards with respect to the stable South American plate.

    Description: With the aim to find a more objective way to detect seismic families, we applied a series of successive steps to constrain the results of a waveform similarity analysis. The evaluation of similarity was carried out on the waveforms recorded in the period 1999–2003 by the stations operating in the Garfagnana area, located in northern Tuscany (Italy). The algorithm is based on the cross-correlation technique applied in a process that overcomes the limit of one order of magnitude between events to be compared through a bridging technique. In practice, if two couples of events (A, B) and (B, C), each exceeding the correlation threshold, share a common quake (B), then all three events are attributed to the same family even if the match between A and C is below a value chosen as a reference for similarity. To avoid any subjective choice of threshold for cross-correlation values, the results from the computation algorithm are submitted to a routine that gives increasing reliability to them if they are confirmed by the three components of the seismogram and if the number of families detected by each station is confirmed by more recordings. This latter constraint is made possible by the geometry of the recording network, with interdistances between stations of the order of 40–50 km. The process finally leads to the recognition of 27 families detected and confirmed by, on average, 3 stations that represent 40% of the recording capabilities. Since the performances of the recording network have been very odd in the past, especially in the early years of operation, the reliability of the detection is much higher, as in most cases the stations that detected the families were the only ones to be effectively recording. The methodology proved to be more efficient than other methods applied in the past; moreover, the results could be probably improved even more if, instead of doing a one-run process, it would be borne as a trial-and-error approach.

    Description: Earthquakes beneath Vulcano (Aeolian Island, Italy) are associated with fracturing (single events and sporadic swarms of low magnitude) or related to processes of the geothermal system (Montalto, 1994). This latter processes is responsible for most of the background activity, which is represented by weak events originating at shallow depth under the La Fossa cone (H〈1.5 Km below sea level). In order to improved the Permanent Seismic Network (PSN) run by Catania Section of Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV-CT) by installing additional 5 broad-band stations surrounding the La Fossa crater, to. In particular, on November 2005 along the north rim of La Fossa cone, 3 digital stations were installed with an array configuration; thereafter, in spring 2007 another two stations were installed at the southern base of the cone. All the stations are currently in continual transmission with Lipari Observatory. We considered about 1200 micro-earthquakes recorded from January 2004 to July 2007 associated with fluid dynamics processes. Studying 1007 of these events, six classes of events have been recognized by visual inspection, spectral and cross correlation analyses. Three episodes of increasing occurrence accompanying geothermal and geochemical anomalies have been recorded during this time period. The improved seismic network allowed the location of 55 events with unprecedented resolution and to highlight a space distribution depending on the classes of events. The events are located in the central and south-oriental sector of the cone at 500-1000 meter b.s.l. depth and events of each class seem clustering in preferential sectors.

    Description: This study provides new seismological information to characterize the seismically active area of the Gioia Tauro basin (southern Calabria, Italy). Seismic activity recorded by a temporary network from 1985 to 1994 was analyzed for focal mechanisms, stress tensor inversion, P-wave seismic attenuation and earthquake source parameters estimation. Fault plane solutions of selected events showed a variety of different mechanisms, even if a prevalence of normal dip-slip solutions with prevalent rupture orientations occurring along ca. NE-SW directions was observed. Stress tensor inversion analysis disclosed a region governed mainly by a NW-SE extensional stress regime with a nearly vertical σ1. These results are consistent with the structure movements affecting the studied area and with geodetic data. Furthermore, evaluation of P-waves seismic attenuation and earthquake source parameters of a subset of events highlighted a strong heterogeneity of the crust and the presence of fault segments and/or weakened zones where great stress accumulation or long-rupture propagation are hindered.

    Description: The Caribbean encrusting and excavating sponges Cliona aprica, C. caribbaea, C. delitrix and C. tenuis (Porifera, Hadromerida, Clionaidae), aggresively undermine and displace live coral tissue. At San Andrés island and Islas del Rosario (Colombian Caribbean), in all 145 observed cases of direct contact of the sponges C. aprica, C. caribbaea and C. tenuis with 17 coral species, corals showed unhealthy signs in their tissue. It was also noticed that the surface of these sponges is colonized by few organisms and that they are rarely preyed upon. To establish the possible use of chemical substances by these sponges in competition for space with corals (allelopathy), as inhibitors of larval settlement (antifouling), and as feeding deterrents against generalist fish (antipredatory), the activity of crude organic extracts was experimentally evaluated. Extracts were prepared in methanol and 1:2 metanol:dichloromethane and incorporated in experimental media at the natural concentration within the sponges. Using an unpublished method being developed by J. Pawlik (University of North Caroline at Wilmington) and M. Ilan (Tel Aviv University), PhytagelTM disks with crude extracts of each of the four sponge species, placed on the coral Montastrea cavernosa, produced a greater degree of polyp mortality than control gels without extract. Gels with extracts of the sponges C. aprica and C. caribbaea + C. tenuis, served in Petri dishes and used as substratum in the field, inhibited significantly the settlement of fouling organisms, in comparison to control gels. In laboratory trials, wheat flour pellets with extracts C. delitrix and C. caribbaea + C. tenuis were significantly rejected by the omnivore reef damselfish, Stegastes partitus, whereas pellets with extract of C. aprica did not deter feeding. These results suggest that substances present in the crude organic extracts of these sponges may be responsible in part for their ability to compete for reef substrata and to defend themselves from potential aggressors.

    Description: This document, which is directed at the fishing sector, researchers, conservationists and fishery administrators, was developed by researchers who are members of the Specialists Group for Marine Turtle Research and conservation in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWA) in response to the urgent need to evaluate the impact generated on sea turtles by fisheries. Historically, sea turtle conservation efforts have focused almost exclusively on the protection of nesting beaches. Nevertheless, over the last decade, research has proved incidental mortality as a result of fishing activities to be one of the greatest threats to these animals. This type of interaction is not only problematic for turtles, but also generates financial losses for fishermen and businesses. In spite of the efforts that are currently underway, researchers still do not have a detailed understanding of the impact that bycatch produces on sea turtle populations in the SWA. We have a long way to go before its effects can be minimized. Further research is needed regarding the biology and ecology of the various turtle species as well as the effective application of mitigation measures. The life cycles of sea turtles are long and complex. Turtles occupy various ecosystems (nesting beaches, coastal, neritic and oceanic zones, as well as pelagic and demersal areas) throughout their lifetimes, transcending various Exclusive Economic Zones and International Waters. The five species that inhabit the SWA region perform vast feeding and reproductive migrations, traveling through areas where many different fishing fleets operate. Therefore, sea turtles in the SWA interact with virtually all fisheries. These circumstances make it necessary to carry out biological, fishing related and conservation studies on a regional level. The efficiency of the existing international and national legal instruments has yet to be determined, in terms of their effectiveness in protecting sea turtles. In some cases, legislation that is specifically related to the interaction between fisheries and turtles does exist, such as those laws requiring the mandatory use of turtle excluding devices (TEDs). There are also explicit bans on sea turtle capture. Nevertheless, none of these regulations prevent sea turtle bycatch. Although some regional legal instruments are needed, these and the existing legislation will only be effective if they are accompanied by a broader range of permanent education and control measures, to achieve the commitment of all the parties involved. The ecosystem approach is gaining popularity among fishery administration organizations. Research and conservation efforts should also be moving in that direction. A regional and international effort is required in order to compile information regarding the bycatch produced by the various types of fisheries and fleets operating in the area. The enormous increase in fishing pressure that these fleets are exerting in this area has not been accompanied by an increase in information regarding the bycatch of species that have no commercial value. Pelagic longlining is one of the fishing methods, which must be most closely monitored, due to the high levels of bycatch that it produces, as well its ample distribution throughout the region, and the high level of fishing effort that it accounts for. Coastal trawlers and gillnetters must also be considered critical players, because they too produce a large rate of bycatch. These are the three types of fisheries that are most broadly distributed throughout the region, accounting for the majority of the fishing effort. Most of the institutions that work toward sea turtle conservation in the area have only begun to address the issue of bycatch over the last decade. This timeframe is reflected in the scope and quantity of the available publications, as well as the progress of activities directed at mitigating this problem. All of the institutions that have been mentioned in this report have made the gathering of information regarding interaction between sea turtles and fisheries one of their top priorities. Some institutions are even developing working programs for monitoring fisheries and testing mitigation measures. Many of these institutions have managed to develop adequate relationships with fishermen, ship owners and administrators. Nevertheless, limited access to funding is an obstacle to the development and testing of mitigation measures. The SWA network, which is a very valuable instrument that was created in 2003, has allowed the region’s institutions and researchers to exchange information and share their experience, in addition to lending each other support in carrying out joint activities, thus strengthening sea turtle conservation efforts. The capacity demonstrated so far by the region’s researchers and institutions, testifies to their ability to continue to make progress in knowledge generation and tests of bycatch mitigation measures.

    Description: The mean objetives ofthe present study were to establish the existence of demersal fish associations in the shelf and superior slope of the Colombian Caribbean northern zone and determine if the biotical patterns determineted by these associations are correlationed with the patterns structured by the environmental conditions evaluated. Data were taken from three demersal resources assessment surveys of the INPA-VECEP/UE Program, carried out during the period 1995-1996. The station groups were not consistent in terms of species composition along the different periods. The dominant characteristics of demersal species associations was the absence of temporal persistence. Only it was possible to find some partial associations which remain during a maximum oftwo sampling periods: Rhomboplites aurorubens/Priacanthus arenatus, Lutjanus analis/Lutjanus synagris y Eucinostomus argenteus/Upeneus parvus. It were observed seasonal changes in the set of environmental variables which better explain the community structure, but depth always appears in the optimal correlation set. Apparently, species co-existence is rather due to a common answer to environmental gradients, than to species interactions: Nevertheless, the relatively low correlations seem to indicate that other factors, like migrations for biological reasons, could also affect the structure and composition of demersal fish associations, on a smaller time scale.
    Description: El presente estudio se centró en los objetivos de establecer la existencia de asociaciones de peces demersales en la plataforma y el talud superior de la zona norte del Caribe colombiano, y determinar si los patrones bióticos determinados por estas asociaciones se correlacionan con los patrones estructurados por las condiciones ambientales evaluadas. Los datos del estudio provinieron de tres campañas de evaluación de recursos demersales del Programa INPA-VECEP/UE, efectuadas durante el período 1995-1996. La característica dominante de los grupos de estaciones y de las asociaciones de peces demersales fue la carencia de persistencia temporal. Únicamente fue factible establecer la persistencia de algunas asociaciones parciales durante un máximo de dos períodos de muestreo, como fue el caso de Rhomboplites aurorubens/Priacanthus arenatus, Lutjanus analis/Lutjanus synagris y Eucinostomus argenteus/Upeneus parvus. Se presentaron cambios estacionales en el conjunto de variables ambientales que explicaron de mejor forma la estructura comunitaria, a excepción de la profundidad, que siempre figuró en la combinación que produjo la correlación óptima. Los cambios en los patrones bióticos parecen señalar que la co-existencia de las especies se debe básicamente a una respuesta común a los radientes ambientales, antes que a interacciones entre especies. Sin embargo, el hecho de que estas correlaciones fuesen relativamente bajas parece indicar que a una escala de tiempo menor otros factores, tales como posibles migraciones por razones biológicas,también podrían afectar la estructura y composición de las asociaciones de peces demersales.

    Description: Este documento, dirigido al sector pesquero, investigadores, conservacionistas y administradores de las pesquerías, surge como respuesta de investigadores pertenecientes al Grupo de Especialistas en Investigación y Conservación de Tortugas Marinas en el Atlántico Sud Occidental (ASO) a la urgente necesidad de evaluar el impacto de las pesquerías sobre las tortugas marinas. Históricamente, los esfuerzos referidos a la conservación de las tortugas marinas se han dirigido casi exclusivamente a proteger las playas de anidación. Sin embargo en la última década se ha podido comprobar que una de las mayores amenazas es la mortalidad incidental causada por las pesquerías. Esta interacción no implica únicamente un problema para las tortugas, sino que también genera pérdidas económicas para los pescadores y las empresas.
    Description: This document, which is directed at the fishing sector, researchers, conservationists and fishery administrators, was developed by researchers who are members of the Specialists Group for Marine Turtle Research and Conservation in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWA) in response to the urgent need to evaluate the impact generated on sea turtles by fisheries. Historically, sea turtle conservation efforts have focused almost exclusively on the protection of nesting beaches. Nevertheless, over the last decade, research has proved incidental mortality as a result of fishing activities to be one of the greatest threats to these animals. This type of interaction is not only problematic for turtles, but also generates financial losses for fishermen and businesses.

    Description: The Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) is designed to safeguard the world's threatened biodiversity hotspots in developing countries. It is a joint initiative of Conservation International (CI), the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the Government of Japan, the MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank. CEPF supports projects in hotspots, areas with more than 60 percent of the Earth’s terrestrial species in just 1.4 percent of its land surface. A fundamental purpose of CEPF is to ensure that civil society is engaged in efforts to conserve biodiversity in the hotspots. An additional purpose is to ensure that those efforts complement existing strategies and frameworks established by local, regional and national governments. CEPF aims to promote working alliances among community groups, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), government, academic institutions and the private sector, combining unique capacities and eliminating duplication of efforts for a comprehensive approach to conservation. CEPF is unique among funding mechanisms in that it focuses on biological areas rather than political boundaries and examines conservation threats on a corridor-wide basis to identify and support a regional, rather than a national, approach to achieving conservation outcomes. Corridors are determined through a process of identifying important species, site and corridor-level conservation outcomes for the hotspot. CEPF targets transboundary cooperation when areas rich in biological value straddle national borders, or in areas where a regional approach will be more effective than a national approach.

    Description: Coral reefs along the entire coast of Kenya suffered widespread bleaching and mortality of corals during the first half of 1998 (Wilkinson, 1998; Obura, 1999; McClanahan et al., 1999). This status report summarises findings relating specifically to coral bleaching, mortality and effects on benthic community structure. In addition, preliminary results from a number of research projects investigating different aspects of the bleaching event are reported here. In shallow waters, on a per-area basis, most of Kenya’s southern fringing reefs have lost between 66% and 80% of their live corals. Coral reefs in deeper water suffered less mortality due to lesser exposure to higher temperatures. Reefs on the northern part of the coast, influenced by cold water currents from Somalia, also suffered less mortality of corals. Coral recruitment appears to be low on Kenyan reefs except for some minor shallow patch reefs. It is likely that alterations in reef ecology due to overfishing (McClanahan & Muthiga, 1988) and consequent rapid growth of fleshy algae may have delaying effects on coral and reef recovery. Effects of the coral mortality on other components of the reef community, such as on algae, invertebrates and fish are only just beginning to be noticed, 1.5 years after the bleaching event. These components are the subject of ongoing research in an integrated study of the Mombasa Marine Park by scientists at the Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute.

    Description: Even though Mozambique has the greatest reported diversity of butterflyfishes (24 species) of the continental states of the Western Indian Ocean region, aspects of the ecology and distribution of this group in Mozambique are poorly documented. The distribution, diversity and community structure of butterflyfishes were studied on nine reefs in southern Mozambique using the point count method. Nineteen species from four genera were identified. Three with generalist feeding habits (i.e. Chaetodon auriga, C. guttatissimus and C. interruptus) were the most abundant with a wide distribution range. The butterflyfish communities of intertidal reefs at Inhaca Island differed from those of the offshore, subtidal reefs, as shown by uni- and multivariate analysis of abundance and diversity data. This is attributed to differences in habitat structure and food availability. However, most species occurred on both reef types. The butterflyfish diversity of the area is considered high and comparable to other high latitude reef areas in the world. These results emphasize the high biodiversity of the region and constitutes a latitudinal biodiversity peak. These findings also highlight the need for effective conservation measures.

    Description: Three shallow reef sites were investigated during four seasons Autumn, 2003, Winter, Spring and Summer, 2004) off the Marine Biological Station at Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt. Thirty-eight scleractinian coral species were recorded at the studied sites. Generally, Twenty-six species were affected by more than one factor (such as high temperature, solar radiation, sedimentation and algae), while the last twelve species remained healthy. The affected species (26 species) were divided into the following: five species were affected by combination of high temperature and direct exposure to solar radiation during the neap tide, eleven species only were affected by sedimentation and increasing algal cover and ten species were affected by high temperature, solar radiation, sedimentation and algae all together. Coral bleaching and death in some cases were due to these factors. Galaxea fascicularis, Seriatopora hystrix and Millepora dichotoma were partially bleached but recovered during the high tide time within weeks. Few species such as Acropora granulosa, Montipora venosa, Goniastrea pectinata and Porites solida were completely bleached and could not recover but died. Repeated leaching events in the future may expose corals to an increasingly hostile environment.

    Description: This study has been carried out over a period of four months (August, November 2001 and January, March 2002). The study aimed at establishing the magnitude of parasitization in different fish species as well as quantifying the relationship between the parasites and their fish hosts. Fish samples were collected from five main landing beaches: Vanga, Shimoni, Gazi, Mombasa and Kilifi. Fish samples examined for Parasites included: Siganus sutor, Plectorhynchus flavomaculatus, P. Sordidus, Lethrinus nebulosus, Sardinella gibosa, Scarus horrid, Sellar crumenophthalmus, Rastrelliger kanarguta, Parupeneus indicus, Mugil cephalus, Scombromorus commerson, Epinephelus macrospilas, Thunnus sp, Leptoscarus viagensis, L. sordidus and Hemiramphus far. Fish samples were purchased from fishermen who used a variety of fishing gears mainly gillnets, traps (madema), hand lines and cast nets. Results of this study have revealed that out of the 16 fish species examined, only 8 species were infected with parasites. These were the rabit fish (Siganus sutor), the mackerels (Selar crumenophthalmus, Scormbromorus commerson and Ratrelliger Kanarguta), Parrot Fish (Leptoscarus vagiensis,), the sardine (Sardinella gibosa), the tuna (Thunnus sp,), and the needle fish (Hemiramphus far). Of the eight species, S. sutor was the most heavily infected with helminth parasites while Sardinella and Leptoscarus were the main species infected with ectoparasites. Intensity of infection increased with age (size) especially in Siganus sutor where very young fish were rarely infected while adults were heavily infected (P〈0.01).

    Description: RESUME: Les eaux océaniques mauritaniennes sont au carrefour d'eaux froides et salées provenant du Nord, et d'autres chaudes et moins salées du Sud. L'interaction de ces eaux est à l'origine d'un régime hydrologique à 4 saisons: une saison froide de janvier à mai, une saison de transition froide-chaude de juin à juillet, une saison chaude d'août à octobre et enfin une saison de transition chaude – froide de novembre à décembre. La présente étude met en relation ces variations hydrologiques saisonnières, la distribution et la biologie de Mustelus mustelus. La distribution spatiale et temporelle de M. mustelus sur le plateau continental mauritanien a été suivie en analysant les données récoltées au cours de 20 campagnes de prospections scientifiques, 13 hauturières et 7 côtières, réparties sur les 4 saisons hydrologiques qui caractérisent cette zone géographique. La population d'émissoles est concentrée au Nord du Cap Timiris. L'espèce ne semble pas effectuer de migration latitudinale, mais un déplacement côte - large et inversement a été mis en évidence. Durant la saison froide, cette espèce à affinité tropicale est repoussée vers la côte, dans la Baie du Lévrier et le Nord Est du Banc d'Arguin par les basses températures venant du Nord qui persistent sur le plateau continental mauritanien de janvier à mai. Ce sont surtout les mâles matures qui rejoignent alors, pour l'accouplement, les femelles, de distribution plus côtière. Entre juin et octobre, avec le réchauffement des eaux, les mâles commencent à se déplacer vers des eaux plus profondes. Mais dès le début du refroidissement, un nouveau mouvement vers la côte s'amorce. Un échantillonnage mensuel des débarquements de la Pêche Artisanale a permis de collecter, en 2 ans, 2510 séries de données individuelles exploitées pour les études de l'alimentation, de la reproduction et de la croissance. L'étude des contenus stomacaux n'a pas montré de différence significative entre les femelles et les mâles, l'analyse a été faite sans distinction des sexes. Le nombre d'estomacs vides est de 10,3 % des estomacs examinés. La distribution Nord de M. mustelus pourrait être liée à l'abondance des principales proies de l'espèce, les bernard-l'hermites (Anomoures). En effet, ces proies qui seraient abondantes dans sa zone de répartition sont dominantes aussi bien en termes de nombre que de poids et d'occurrence dans les contenus des estomacs examinés. Les proies secondaires sont des Poissons, des Mollusques et des Annélides. Ainsi, l'émissole serait une espèce opportuniste qui se nourrit principalement de proies les plus vulnérables et accessoirement de proies de capture plus difficiles. L'étude du régime alimentaire chez l'émissole lisse en Mauritanie témoigne d'un comportement en rapport étroit avec le fond. La distribution différentielle des deux sexes influence le sex ratio qui est en faveur des femelles dans la zone côtière et des mâles dans la zone hauturière. La taille de première maturité sexuelle de M. mustelus en Mauritanie est de 67 cm pour les mâles et 72 cm pour les femelles. Chez les femelles, l'activité vitellogénique est continue et dure toute l'année chez les femelles matures (y compris gestantes) sauf en période de fécondation, période pendant laquelle elle est arrêtée. Le nombre d'ovocytes vitellogèniques de grand diamètre (supérieur ou égal à 10 mm) atteint un maximum en mai dans l'unique ovaire droit présent chez les émissoles lisses. La chute de leur nombre dans l'ovaire en juin et juillet annonce l'ovulation. Les mâles s'accouplent avec les femelles entre janvier et mai; les spermatozoïdes sont alors stockés dans le tiers inférieur des glandes nidamentaires jusqu'à la période de fécondation (juillet-août). L'organogenèse dure jusqu'aux mois d'octobre – novembre; elle aboutit alors à des embryons qui ressemblent morphologiquement aux adultes, au-delà de ces mois, le développement embryonnaire se limite à une augmentation de taille et de poids. Les embryons sortent de leurs capsules, les réserves vitellines se résorbent et sont remplacées par le placenta. Chez les femelles, la durée de la gestation est de 7 à 10 mois. Les femelles commencent à mettre bas à partir de février, la parturition se poursuit jusqu'en juin, mois pendant lequel les rares femelles encore gestantes mettent bas. A la naissance les juvéniles ont des tailles comprises entre 240 et 320 mm. La fécondité utérine maximale observée au cours de cette étude est 13 embryons; la moyenne est de 4 embryons par portée. Les bandes de croissances observées dans des coupes de vertèbres de femelles de 45 à 99 cm et de mâles de 50 à 85 cm de longueur totale ont été utilisées pour l'estimation de l'âge des poissons. Les données d'âge et de longueur ont permis d'établir les équations de croissances selon les modèles de Von Bertalanffy et de Holden. Ces modèles conduisant à des résultats différents; celui de Von Bertalanffy a été retenu en raison de sa flexibilité qui rend son application plus courante dans les pêcheries. Les paramètres de ce modèle sont, pour les femelles K=0,21, L∞=113,4 et t0=-2,03, pour les mâles K=0,26; L∞=91,3 et t0= -2,43. Les femelles ont donc des croissances plus rapides que les mâles et les âges à la première maturité sexuelle sont de 2,6 ans pour les mâles et de 2,8 pour les femelles. #
    Description: ABSTRACT: Mauritanian coastal waters are crossroads between cold and salted northern waters, and warmer and less salted southern waters. The interaction of these waters is at the origin of four hydrological seasons: cold (January to May), cold-to-warm transition (June-July), warm (August to October) and warm-to-cold transition (November-December). The present study connects these seasonal hydrological variations with the distribution and biology of Mustelus mustelus. Spatial and temporal distribution of M. mustelus on the Mauritanian continental shelf was followed while analyzing data collected during 20 scientific campaigns, 13 deep-sea and 7 coastal, distributed over the 4 hydrological seasons which characterize this geographical area. Smoothound sharks population is concentrated North of Cape Timiris. The species does not seem to carry out of latitudinal migration, but a coast to deep sea displacement - and conversely a deep sea to coast - was found. During the cold season, this species with tropical affinity is pushed back towards the coast, in Baie du Lévrier and Northeast of the Banc d’Arguin by cold water temperatures coming from the North which persist on the Mauritanian continental shelf from January to May. Mature males then join, for the coupling, females, which are of more coastal distribution. Between June and October, with the reheating of water, males start to move towards deeper water. But from the very start of cooling, a new movement towards the coast starts. A monthly sampling of the artisanal fishery catches made it possible to collect, in 2 years, 2,510 individual specimen data for the study of food, reproduction and growth. The study of stomach contents did not show a significant differences between females and males. The analysis was made regardless of gender. The number of empty stomachs is 10,3 % of the examined stomachs. The Northern distribution of M. mustelus could be related to the abundance of the principal prey species, the hermit crab (Anomoura). Indeed, these preys which would be abundant in its zone of distribution are dominant in terms of number, biomass and occurrence in the contents of the examined stomachs. The secondary preys are of fish, molluscs and annelids. Thus, smoothound shark would be an opportunist species which feeds mainly on the most vulnerable preys and incidentally on more difficult preys of capture. The study of the smoothound shark diet in Mauritania testifies to a behavior in close connection with the bottom. The differential distribution of the two sexes influences the sex ratio which is in favor of females in the coastal zone and males in the deep-sea zone. Size at first sexual maturity of M. mustelus in Mauritania is 67 and 72 cm for males and females, respectively. For females, the vitellogenic activity is continuous year-round for mature females (including gestating ones), except during the period of fecundation. The number of vitellogenic ovocytes of large diameter (greater or equal to 10 mm) reaches a maximum in May in the single right ovary of the smoothound shark. The fall of their number in June and July announces ovulation. Males couple themselves with females between January and May; spermatozoids are then stored in the nidamental glands lower third until the period of fecundation (July-August). Organogenesis lasts until October - November; it then leads to embryos which resemble to the adults morphologically. Afterwards, the embryonic development is limited to an increase in size and weight. The embryos leave their capsules, vitellogenic reserves reabsorb and are replaced by the placenta. Gestation period is 7 to 10 months for females. The females start to put low as from February, parturition continues until June, month during which the rare still gestating females give birth. With birth the youthful ones have sizes ranging between 240 and 320 mm. The maximum observed fecundity during this study is 13 embryos; the average is of 4 embryos per litter. Growth bands observed in cuts of vertebrae on females and males of total length ranging from 45 to 99 cm and from 50 to 85 cm, respectively, were used to estimate fish age. Age and length data made it possible to establish growth equations according to Von Bertalanffy and Holden’s models. These models lead to different results; Von Bertalanffy model was retained because of its flexibility which makes its application more current in fisheries. The parameters of this model are K=0.21, L∞=113.4 for females and t0= -2.03, and K=0.26 L∞=91.3 and t0 = -2.43 for males. The females tend to grow faster than males and the age at the first sexual maturity is 2.6 and 2.8 years for males and females, respectively.

    Description: Cette thèse étudie le problème de la gestion des pêches au sein d’une AMP, en tenant compte du système économique global ainsi que des transformations structurelles qui affectent celui ci, et en diversifiant les critères de gestion. Le cas d’étude est la RBDS (Sénégal). Une enquête de terrain montre que la population de cette localité diversifie ses activités essentiellement entre l’agriculture, la pêche et le tourisme. Une analyse économétrique indique que la démographie, la sécheresse et la baisse du prix de l’arachide sur le marché mondial sont les principales causes de la crise agricole dans la région. Cette crise favorise la diversification vers la pêche. Un modèle théorique étudiant ce processus montre qu’il conduit la pêche à l’équilibre de libre accès. Le chômage et /ou l’émigration se développent. Un second modèle montre que le développement d’une nouvelle activité basé sur un usage non extractif des ressources naturelles telle que l’écotourisme, permet de lutter contre le chômage et de générer une rente positive même si la rente halieutique est totalement dissipée. Un troisième modèle indique que la création de nouvelles réserves, telles qu’envisagées dans la RBDS, peut, dans certaines circonstances, développer l’emploi à la pêche, améliorer la conservation des ressources et favoriser le développement de l’écotourisme.

    Description: Diel vertical migration of different zooplankton groups in Dekhaila Harbor was studied monthly from May 2003 to April 2004. Generally, more groups were found in the surface layer (0-10 m.) than the deeper one (10-20 m.). Some zooplankton groups undergo significant vertical migration at certain time of the year, others showed no clear differences in distribution patterns and exhibited no directed movement patterns. Some species stayed a part of the day within certain layer of the water column, others were randomly dispersed in the whole water column during different hours. Responses appear to depend also on the life stages of each zooplankton group, as well as other ecological conditions such as temperature, light and amount of food. Population budget indicates that the abundance of some groups was greater at the morning time, others at the sunset time. While the noon time often showed lower density. The time of the day which showed the lowest count of each group is known as the day deficit, which is probably due to diel horizontal migrations.

    Description: Historic environmental, faunal, floral and socioeconomic data of Gazi Bay in coastal Kenya were collated and integrated into a GIS environment and data of impacts due to various factors were then related to remotely sensed data. Rhizophora mucronata, a valuable mangrove species, was investigated. Very low values of basal area (7.7 m2/ha and 4.9 m2/ha) and complexity indices (1.86 and 1.12) at Makongeni and Kinondo 1, respectively, reflected intense human pressure in these areas. Areas that were easily accessible or close to human settlements appeared more vulnerable. Accrued information from a socioeconomic survey carried out over the same period corroborates the hypothesis that human influence was a major contributor to these changes. Historic aerial photographs together with satellite imagery indicate less than 20% decrease in coverage of R. mucronata between 1965 and 1992, but an increase of almost 35% in sand cover over the same period. The approach that was used in this study, one largely unprecedented in the East African region, was useful in drawing the conclusion that human influence was the most probable trigger of the observed changes.

    Description: Marine thecate heterotrophic dinoflagellates likely play an important role in the consumption of primary productivity and in the trophic structure of the plankton, yet we know little about these species. This thesis expanded our understanding of the autecology and evolutionary history of the Protoperidinium and diplopsalids. The distributions of Protoperidinium species off the southwestern coast of Ireland were influenced by physical oceanographic conditions coupled with the availability of preferred prey. The distributions of individual Protoperidinium species varied widely from the distribution of total Protoperidinium, indicating differences in ecologies among species. Certain species of Protoperidinium co-occurred with known preferred phytoplankton prey species. Concentrations of other Protoperidinium species were not related to those of any particular phytoplankton species, indicating that these Protoperidinium may rely on phytoplankton or other food sources beyond those already known, may not be species specific selective feeders, or may have become uncoupled from their preferred prey. The description of the sexual and asexual life history of Protoperidinium steidingerae provided the first account of the life history of any Protoperidinium species. Asexual division occurred by eleutheroschisis within a temporary, immotile cyst, yielding two daughter cells. Daughter cells were initially round and half to two-thirds the size of parent cells, then rapidly increased in size, forming horns before separating. Sexual reproduction was constitutive in clonal cultures, indicating that the species may be homothallic. Fusing gametes were isogamous, and resulted in a planozygote with two longitudinal flagella. Hypnozygotes had a mandatory dormancy period of ca. 70 days. Germination resulted in planomeiocytes with two longitudinal flagella. Nuclear cyclosis may occur in the planomeiocyte stage. A high level of morphological diversity among life history stages of P. steidingerae has led to mis-classification and taxonomic inaccuracy of Protoperidinium species identified from field samples. The large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA) molecular phylogeny of the heterotrophic dinoflagellates revealed that the genus Protoperidinium appeared to be recently diverged within the dinoflagellates. In maximum parsimony and neighbor joining analysis, Protoperidinium formed a monophyletic group, evolving from diplopsalid dinoflagellates. In maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses, however, Protoperidinium was polyphyletic, as the lenticular, diplopsalid heterotroph, Diplopsalis lenticula Bergh, was inserted within the Protoperidinium clade basal to Protoperidinium excentricum (Paulsen) Balech, and Preperidinium meunieri (Pavillard) Elbrächter fell within a separate clade as a sister to the Oceanica section and Protoperidinium steidingerae Balech. In all analyses, the Protoperidinium were divided into two major clades, with members in the Oceanica group and subgenus Testeria in one clade, and the Excentrica, Conica, Pellucida, Pyriforme, and Divergens sections in another clade. The LSU rDNA molecular phylogeny supported the historical morphologically determined sections, but not a simple morphology-based model of evolution based on thecal plate shape. LSU rDNA gene sequences are frequently used to infer the phylogeny of organisms. The many copies of the LSU rDNA found in the genome are thought to be kept homogenous by concerted evolution. In Protoperidinium species, however, there was high intragenomic diversity in the D1-D6 region of the LSU rDNA. For each species, the clone library was usually comprised of one highly represented copy and many unique sequences. Sequence differences were primarily characterized by single base pair substitutions, single base pair insertion/deletions (indels), and/or large indels. Phylogenetic analysis of all clones gave strong support for monophyly of the polymorphic copies of each species, and recovered the same species tree as an analysis using just one sequence per species. Analysis of LSU rDNA gene expression in three species by RT-PCR indicated that copies with fewer substitutions and fewer and smaller indels are expressed, and that 50% or more of the copies are pseudogenes. High intraspecific and intraindividual LSU rDNA sequence variability could lead to inaccurate species phylogenies and over-estimation of species diversity in environmental sequencing studies. This thesis has explored the ecology, life history, molecular phylogeny, and intraspecific DNA sequence variability of marine thecate heterotrohic dinoflagellates using a wide range of methodologies, including field sampling, culturing, microscopy, morphological analyses, histological staining, and molecular biology. The work here has broadened our understanding of the Protoperidinium and diplopsalids, providing new insights into the ecological and evolutionary relationships of these heterotrophs with other plankton species.

    Description: Eastern mud snails (Ilyanassa obsoleta) in densities of zero, six or twelve snails were placed in flow-through-laboratory microcosms (765 cm2) and incubated for five weeks. Other tanks were raked daily to a depth of 10 mm. Grazing by low densities of snails significantly increased chlorophyll standing stock, respiration and gross photosynthesis as measured by light and dark exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide compared to untreated tanks. The standing stocks of algal pigments, respiration and photosynthesis were depressed in the microcosms which received the 12-snail or the raking treatments. Simulating snail excretion by fertilization with ammonium increased chlorophyll standing stock by a similar magnitude, but this effect could be inhibited by raking the sediments daily. At low densities Ilyanassa's acceleration of nutrient cycling stimulates algal growth, but this effect is overwhelmed at higher densities by overgrazing and stirring inhibition. The dominant benthic algal group in the containers were pennate diatoms. Grazed containers contained a larger percentage of the non-motile classes of diatoms, as compared to the motile forms which predominated in the untreated microcosms. The snails are able to selectively graze these mobile species. Their gut contents are enriched in carbon. nitrogen and algal pigment content by 20-40 times over the surface sediments. A small, non-significant, growth effect can be seen in the snails' response to density changes, but another marsh consumer, Fundulus heteroclitus, grows faster at low snail densities when snails are absent.

    Description: Signal source intensity and detection range, which integrates source intensity with propagation loss, background noise and receiver hearing abilities, are important characteristics of communication signals. Apparent source levels were calculated for 819 pulsed calls and 24 whistles produced by free-ranging resident killer whales by triangulating the angles-of-arrival of sounds on two beamforming arrays towed in series. Levels in the 1-20 kHz band ranged from 131-168 dB re 1μPa @1m, with differences in the means of different sound classes (whistles: 140.2 ± 4.1 dB; variable calls: 146.6 ± 6.6 dB; stereotyped calls: 152.6 ± 5.9 dB), and among stereotyped call types. Repertoire diversity carried through to estimates of active space, with “long-range” stereotyped calls all containing overlapping, independently-modulated high-frequency components (mean estimated active space of 10-16km in sea state zero) and “short-range” sounds (5-9 km) included all stereotyped calls without a high-frequency component, whistles, and variable calls. Short-range sounds are reported to be more common during social and resting behaviors, while long-range stereotyped calls predominate in dispersed travel and foraging behaviors. These results suggest that variability in sound pressure levels may reflect diverse social and ecological functions of the acoustic repertoire of killer whales.

    Description: A decade long Synthesis and Modeling Project (SMP) was conducted as the final element of the U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS). The SMP goal was to synthesize knowledge gained from field studies into a set of models that reflect our current understanding of the oceanic carbon cycle. Specific, innovative aspects of the project included the close partnership among scientists conducting field, laboratory, remote sensing, and numerical research and the strong emphasis on data management and web-based, public release of models and data products. Several recurrent science themes arose across the SMP effort including: the development of a new generation of ocean ecosystem and biogeochemistry models that include iron limitation, flexible elemental composition, size structure, geochemical functional groups and particle composition; the application of inverse models and data assimilation techniques to marine food-web data; the creation of whole-ocean synthesis products from the JGOFS global CO2 survey and other studies; and the analysis and modeling of ecosystem and biogeochemical responses to climate and CO2 system perturbations on time-scales ranging from seasonal and interannual variability to anthropogenic climate warming and longer.
    Description: The U.S. JGOFS SMP management effort was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF/NCAR 97-142 and NSF OCE-0335589).

    Description: Thirty years have passed since Carl Woese proposed three primary domains of life based on the phylogenetic analysis of ribosomal RNA genes. Adopted by researchers worldwide, ribosomal RNA has become the “gold-standard” for molecular taxonomy, biodiversity analysis and the identification of microorganisms. The more than 700,000 rRNA sequences in public databases constitute an unprecedented hallmark of the richness of microbial biodiversity on earth. The International Workshop on Ribosomal RNA Technology convened on April 7-9, 2008 in Bremen, Germany (http://www.arb-silva.de/rrna-workshop) to summarize the current status of the field and strategize on the best ways of proceeding on both biological and technological fronts. In five sessions, 26 leading international speakers and ~120 participants representing diverse disciplines discussed new technological approaches to address three basic ecological questions: “Who is out there?” “How many are there?” and “What are they doing?”
    Description: The workshop was a joint collaborative effort of the Max Planck Institute in Bremen and the Ribocon GmbH Bremen, the Technical University Munich, the International Census of Marine Microbes (ICoMM) and the European Census of Marine Life (EuroCoML). The workshop was further sponsored by the Operon and BioCat biotechnology companies.

    Description: Global data have been widely used for seismicity and seismic hazard assessment by seismologists. In the present study we evaluate worldwide seismicity in terms of maps of maximum observed magnitude (Mmax), seismic moment (M 0 ) and seismic moment rate (M 0S). The data set used consists of a complete and homogeneous global catalogue of shallow (h £ 60 km) earthquakes of magnitude MS ³ 5.5 for the time period 1894-1992. In order to construct maps of seismicity and seismic hazard the parameters a and b derived from the magnitude-frequency relationship were estimated by both: a) the least squares, and b) the maximum likelihood, methods. The values of a and b were determined considering circles centered at each grid point 1° (of a mesh 1° ´1°) and of varying radius, which starts from 30 km and moves with a step of 10 km. Only a and b values which fulfill some predefined conditions were considered in the further procedure for evaluating the seismic hazard maps. The obtained worldwide M max distribution in general delineates the contours of the plate boundaries. The highest values of M max observed are along the circum-Pacific belt and in the Himalayan area. The subduction plate boundaries are characterized by the largest amount of M 0 , while areas of continental collision are next. The highest values of seismic moment rate (per 1 year and per equal area of 10 000 km 2) are found in the Southern Himalayas. The western coasts of U.S.A., Northwestern Canada and Alaska, the Indian Ocean and the eastern rift of Africa are characterized by high values of M 0 , while most of the Pacific subduction zones have lower values of seismic moment rate. Finally we analyzed the seismic hazard in South America comparing the predicted by the NUVEL1 model convergence slip rate between Nazca and South America plates with the average slip rate due to earthquakes. This consideration allows for distinguishing between zones of high and low coupling along the studied convergence plate boundary.

    Description: Originally issued as Reference No. 58-43, series later renamed WHOI- .
    Description: During the summers of 1956 and 1957 an investigation was made of certain ecological relations involving light in Duck Pond, Wellfleet, Massachusetts, because of the unusually high clarity of the water. The maximum transparency observed (extinction coefficient, k = 0.11) was far greater than most ponds and about equal to that in the slope water beyond the continental shelf off the Atlantic coast. The illumination reaching the bottom of the pond at 18 m was 11% of the surface light and made possible a thick growth of Sphagnum at that depth. Phytoplankton was scarce and consisted mostly of minute forms. The zooplankton, which ranged in abundance up to 78 organisms per liter, consisted almost entirely of one species of copepod, Diaptomus minutus Lillj. Quantitative sampling of this population by means of a pump at a series of depths and at various hours of the day revealed a partial migration of this species from near the bottom to the surface at sunset on one occasion, but no large fraction of the population carried out a vertical migration on 4 other sunset periods or 2 sunrise periods subsequently studied. On certain of these occasions, however, there was a slight but detectib1e movement of the animals toward the surface at sunset followed by a redistribution to deeper levels. At sunrise the animals showed a tendency to move at first toward the surface and then away from it, although on one occasion the population remained quite evenly distributed at all levels. It is pointed out that because of the high transparency those zooplankters living in the pond are able to withstand high illumination at all depths. Relations between the extreme water clarity and the activities of the zooplankton, as well as other unusual features of the pond are discussed.

    Description: Earthquake scarps associated with recent historical events have been found on the floor of the Sea of Marmara, along the North Anatolian Fault (NAF). The MAuto-Regressive Moving Average-processRASCARPS cruise using an unmanned submersible (ROV) provides direct observations to study the fine-scale morphology and geology of those scarps, their distribution, and geometry. The observations are consistent with the diversity of fault mechanisms and the fault segmentation within the north Marmara extensional step-over, between the strike-slip Ganos and Izmit faults. Smaller strike-slip segments and pull-apart basins alternate within the main step-over, commonly combining strike-slip and extension. Rapid sedimentation rates of 1-3 mm/yr appear to compete with normal faulting components of up to 6 mm/yr at the pull-apart margins. In spite of the fast sedimentation rates the submarine scarps are preserved and accumulate relief. Sets of youthful earthquake scarps extend offshore from the Ganos and Izmit faults on land into the Sea of Marmara. Our observations suggest that they correspond to the submarine ruptures of the 1999 Izmit (Mw 7.4) and the 1912 Ganos (Ms 7.4) earthquakes. While the 1999 rupture ends at the immediate eastern entrance of the extensional Cinarcik Basin, the 1912 rupture appears to have crossed the Ganos restraining bend into the Sea of Marmara floor for 60 km with a right-lateral slip of 5 m, ending in the Central Basin step-over. From the Gulf of Saros to Marmara the total 1912 rupture length is probably about 140 km, not 50 km as previously thought. The direct observations of submarine scarps in Marmara are critical to defining barriers that have arrested past earthquakes as well as defining a possible segmentation of the contemporary state of loading. Incorporating the submarine scarp evidence modifies substantially our understanding of the current state of loading along the NAF next to Istanbul. Coulomb stress modeling shows a zone of maximum loading with at least 4-5 m of slip deficit encompassing the strike-slip segment 70 km long between the Cinarcik and Central Basins. That segment alone would be capable of generating a large-magnitude earthquake (Mw 7.2). Other segments in Marmara appear less loaded. FROTH
