Dg 4th juny to Dj 8th juny | ASLO Aquatic Sciences Meeting 20234–9 June 2023 · Palma de Mallorca, SpainResilience and Recovery in Aquatic SystemsConcepts of resilience and recovery do not only apply to aquatic ecosystems but also to societies when faced with disruptions and crises. Past events have shown that adaptability and decisiveness are important keys to resilience and recovery. Disruptions are opportune moments for setting up strategies for management and recovery. Faced with the COVID-19 pandemic, ASLO meetings have adapted by transforming the ASM 2021 Palma meeting to virtual with a positive attitude that in 2023 we will recover and meet in-person. Positivity is also an important factor. We do not dwell on problems, but we try to look for solutions and get united for whatever crisis we face. We will incorporate the theme of resilience and recovery in aquatic systems into the plenary sessions and encourage submissions that examine these topics and invite you to contribute special sessions on topics relevant to freshwater and marine ecosystems. Initially this meeting was scheduled to be held in Palma in 2021, but due to COVID-19, it became necessary to hold the ASLO 2021 Aquatic Sciences Meeting virtually. However, we plan to meet in Palma in 2023. Palau de Congressos | |

Dt 13th juny 11:00 am 12:00 pm | Predators and prey in a sea of mesoscale eddies Dra. Alice Della Penna This seminary is about pelagic organisms live and interact with each other in a highly dynamic environment which is structured by oceanographic features at multiple scales. Mesoscale eddies (rotating currents with lifetimes of few weeks-few months) have been observed to strongly impact the distribution of primary production in the ocean. At the other end of marine foodwebs, a growing number of animal tracking studies suggest that apex predators, from seabirds to sharks and marine mammals, tend to collocate with mesoscale eddies. Yet, the mechanisms behind this close relationship are not well understood. In this presentation, I will discuss some recent work that aims at understanding how mesoscale eddies affect the distribution of micronekton, a diverse group of animals ranging from small squids, fishes and crustacea, which are common prey items for pelagic predators. Using sonar acoustics as a proxy for the distribution of these organisms, I will show how we found a strong relationship between eddy properties and the distribution of micronekton, from the ocean surface to the mesopelagic ocean (200-1000 m deep) and from the North Atlantic to the Southern Ocean. These results can help explain why apex predators collocate with mesoscale eddies and what role oceanographic features play in structuring the distribution of micronekton worldwide.

Dt 4th jul. 11:00 am 12:00 pm | ABSTRACT Intrusions with water properties of the surface mixed layer are seen to occur in the stratified pycnocline. These features appear to be coherent pathways by which oxygen, phytoplankton carbon and other near-surface properties are transported to depth. What are the mechanisms for advective vertical transport or subduction of properties from the surface mixed layer to the subsurface? What are the Lagrangian pathways of subduction and what is the vertical flux induced through these mechanisms? These are some of the questions that we address in a program called CALYPSO, carried out in collaboration with IMEDEA and SOCIB. This seminar presents an overview and some research highlights.
Amala Mahadevan is a scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Her interests lie in exploring processes that shape the oceanic environment and contribute to the earth's climate. She uses models and observations to study transport and mixing processes in the ocean and their implications for oceanic biogeochemistry and ecology. She is particularly interested in understanding the link between physical and biological processes in the oceans, which is of relevance for the oceanic carbon cycle with which the earth’s climate is so intrinsically linked. Mahadevan, who earned her PhD at Stanford University, is the recipient of several research grants from National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, and the Office of Naval Research. She is engaged in an active research program with her collaborators, postdoctoral scientists, and PhD students in the MIT/WHOI Joint Program. Sala de Seminarios, IMEDEA | |

Dc 12th jul. 11:00 am 12:00 pm | Abstract: Floods resulting from extreme sea levels are among the costliest natural hazards, causing tens of billions of dollars in economic losses globally each year. Without adaption, such losses are certain to worsen in the decades ahead as sea level rises. Adaptation plans are key to reducing this vulnerability while also avoiding costly overprotection measures. However, their success relies on knowledge of how changes in mean climate affect the likelihood of extreme sea-level events. This effect can occur through both changes in storminess and changes in mean sea level (e.g., sea-level rise). While the effects of sea-level rise on extremes are easy to quantify, the role of changes in storminess is challenging to determine owing to low signal-to-noise ratios. Here, I will demonstrate that spatial coherence in sea-level extremes can be leveraged using Bayesian methods to drastically improve signal-to-noise ratios, allowing confident detection and attribution of changes in event probabilities. I will show that, contrary to the prevailing view, trends in surge extremes and sea-level rise both made comparable contributions to the overall change in extreme sea levels in Europe since 1960. The trend pattern of storm surge extremes reflects a combination of a north–south dipole associated with internal climate variability and a single-sign positive pattern related to anthropogenic forcing. These changes are consistent with a strengthening and eastward extension of the North Atlantic storm track, leading to increased storminess over Northwestern and Central Europe. Francisco M. Calafat is a senior scientist at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) in the UK and a former Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow (2011-2014). He obtained his PhD in Physics from the University of the Balearic Islands in 2010. Francisco is interested in the physics of sea-level changes, the influence of climate change on extreme weather and, increasingly, the transport of heat by ocean circulation. He is currently the NOC PI on the Sea-level CCI+ project focusing on understanding regional influences on global mean sea level, NOC PI on the 4DAtlantic project to quantify ocean heat transport using satellite data, and Co-I on the EPOC project to explain and predict the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation.

Dv 12th gen. 4:00 pm 4:30 pm | Abstract
Understanding the extent of animal mortality, the where and when mortality occurs, is paramount to implement effective conservation actions and secure the persistence of animal populations. Unfortunately, so far our understanding of animal survival (which is the inverse of mortality) is very limited, even for well-studied species such as vultures. Project SURVIVALIST has the ambitious objective of filling this knowledge gap for three European vultures (Griffon, Cinereous and Bearded vulture). Based on a large collaborative network, SURVIVALIST collated a uniquely large dataset (including >1400 vulture individuals across the three species) of high-resolution vulture tracking data. These data are analysed using novel approaches to quantify survival in time across the species annual cycle (e.g. during the breeding and non-breeding season) and life-stages (juvenile, immature, adults; Objective 1). Survival variation for each species is then mapped across space by integrating survival modeling with space use from the tracking data, to identify hotspots of vulture mortality (Objective 2).

Dv 26th gen. 4:00 pm 4:30 pm | AbstractMangrove deforestation and land subsidence have led to significant challenges such as coastal floods and retreat in northern Java. To address these issues, a large-scale Building with Nature (BwN) solution is being implemented by re-establishing a mangrove forest that acts as a coastal defence. Large semi-permeable bamboo dams are being built to facilitate natural mangrove recruitment by accumulating sediments and creating a habitat for the trees. The ecosystem that grows on these bamboo artificial structures and its effect on the surrounding ecosystem has not yet been fully studied. Within this context, we set up a three-month field experiment in which we looked at the development of a macrofouling community on bamboo poles and mangrove Avicennia marina trees, and the effect of the BwN structure on the development of such communities. We observed that bamboo poles get colonized faster and support a different community than mangrove trunks. Mangrove trees were colonized mostly by Ostreidae whereas bamboo poles by Amphibalanus. Percentage coverage was consistently higher on bamboo poles. Additionally, we observed lower coverage in the location affected by the semi-permeable barrier compared to locations that were not, potentially due to the sediments trapped by the barrier which may impede larval settlement. Lastly, we discuss the idea that the structure and its ecosystem may have a nutrient enrichment effect, potentially influencing mangrove tree resilience to strong winds. Our findings contribute insights into the ecological functions and implications of these BwN structures in the marine environment, emphasizing the importance of considering their broader impacts on mangrove ecosystems.

Dv 2nd febr. 4:00 pm 5:00 pm | AbstractMonitoring hydrodynamic and morphological features in coastal areas, as well as their evolution, is a key task to support coastal management, of upmost importance in the current context of sea-level rise. In-situ sampling is commonly used to monitor the nearshore; however, they are time-consuming, spatially-limited and scarce, especially during large wave or strong current events. In contrast, remote sensing measurements are able to estimate hydrodynamics and morphology at higher sampling rates and over broader coastal areas. However, some remote sensing technologies, like satellite, and video cameras, are not able to measure continuously, as opposed to shore-based X-band radars. Pulsed radar has been used for this purpose over 20 years now, but continuous wave radars, which are safer and cheaper than their pulsed counterpart, have been virtually unexplored for this purpose. In this talk I will present our current work on the adaptation of a continuous X-band radar system to measure ocean wave spectra, aiming to complement and improve video camera systems for nearshore monitoring.

Invitation to Ph.D. Thesis Defence Ph.D. thesis title: Individual Circadian Behaviour Variation in Wild Fish: Global Assessment, Environmental-Related effects, and Socio-Ecological Consequences. Ph.D. Student: Martina Martorell, Department of Marine Ecology, IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB) Supervisor: Dr Josep Alós, Department of Marine Ecology, IMEDEA (CSIC-UIB) The defence will take place on monday February, 5th at 11:00 at Sala de Grados B, Edificio Jovellanos, Universidad de les Illes Balears (UIB) Abstract: This thesis aims to comprehensively investigate the existence of chronotypes across different fish species and examines how environmental factors modulate them using cutting-edge fish tracking technologies. The thesis first investigates the presence of chronotypes in free-living fish species, clearly identifying these individual temporal patterns in several marine species. Fish behavior is known to be influenced by environmental factors. However, individuals within the same population can exhibit different responses to environmental gradients, referred to as behavioral reaction norms. Subsequently, the thesis describes a large-scale tracking experiment conducted to explore how those environmental gradients affect the expression of chronotypes in the pearly razorfish, Xyrichtys novacula. Behavioral traits typically covary, forming behavioral syndromes, yet few studies have explored chronotype-personality syndromes. This thesis proposes a novel methodological approach that combines laboratory and field experiments to quantitatively assess both classical and circadian-related behavioral traits in the pearly razorfish. Finally, it is well-established today that fishing exerts selective pressures on fish behavior. The final chapter of this thesis proposes a modeling approach to investigate whether exploitation by fishing may lead to directional selection on fish chronotypes. This PhD thesis introduces the field of marine eco-chronobiology, bridging gaps among three traditionally distinct disciplines: marine ecology, fisheries science, and chronobiology.
