Workshop “Planning the Marine Space for a Sustainable Blue Economy in the Mediterranean” – Rimini (IT) – 8 november

You are invited to join us on November 8, from 9.15 to 13.00 CET, at Ecomondo 2023 (https://en.ecomondo.com/) – Rimini (IT), to participate in the Workshop “Planning the Marine Space for a Sustainable Blue Economy in the Mediterranean”.

The Workshop is co-organised by Ecomondo Scientific Technical Committee, European Commission – DG MARE, CNR-IUAV-CORILA.

You can find more information and the agenda here: https://en.ecomondo.com/link/seminars-and-conferences/e23520398/planning-the-marine-space-for-a-sustainable-blue-economy-in-italy-and-in-the-mediterranean.html.

You can attend in person or online.

In both cases, you have first to register at the Ecomondo Visitors Area https://en.ecomondo.com/visit/take-part/reserved-area.

If you will attend online, the link to connect is the following: https://community.greentechinsights.com/event/ecomondo-2023
The credentials to access the Digital Platform are the same used to register at the Ecomondo Visitors Area.
You will find the agenda of the events’ programme of Ecomondo in the “Program” button of the home page and you will only have to click on the title of the event in order to watch the live streaming.

If you will attend in person, you will need to follow these simple steps, in order to obtain a free entrance pass valid over the 4-days event:

1. Register and access the Ecomondo Visitors Area
2. Enter the invitation code F4REL in the “INVITE Code Validation” field provided;
3. Print out the entrance ticket that will allow free access to the turnstiles for all four days of the fair.

NB: In case there are other invitations in your Reserved Area, the ticket-speaker is the last one that will be generated (at the bottom of the list).

Terminate le attività del Biodiversity Gateway presso il Museo di Storia Naturale, con oltre 800 studenti.

Venezia, 6 febbraio 2025 – Si sono concluse con successo le attività didattiche del progetto “Biodiversità in Laguna di Venezia”, organizzate dal Biodiversity Gateway () in collaborazione con il Museo di Storia Naturale Giancarlo Ligabue e la cooperativa Sestante di Venezia. Il progetto, coordinato dal CNR-ISMAR nell’ambito del National Biodiversity Future Center (NBFC), ha coinvolto quaranta classi delle scuole primarie e secondarie durante l’anno scolastico 2024/2025, seguite da Laura Cannarozzi (CNR ISMAR) e Filippo Da Ponte (Sestante).

Dopo una prima fase di incontri in classe, gli studenti hanno partecipato a laboratori presso il Museo di Storia Naturale, dove hanno potuto osservare da vicino campioni di organismi e approfondire temi legati alla biodiversità, alle specie aliene e all’importanza degli equilibri ambientali.

Il percorso didattico proseguirà in primavera con uscite in laguna e laboratori presso il Portale della Biodiversità, situato nella sede del CNR-ISMAR di Venezia, offrendo agli studenti un’esperienza completa e immersiva nello studio della biodiversità lagunare.

Gian Marco Palamara, CNR-ISMAR-Roma
“Integrated Modelling for Integrative Ecology”

ABSTRACT: Ecology is a discipline with flexible boundaries, where characterizing species interactions and ecosystem responses often requires accounting for the complexity, nonlinearity, and stochastic nature of biological and environmental processes.
In this talk, I will present different ecological case studies combining experimental and theoretical approaches to explore population and community dynamics under environmental stress and spatial heterogeneity. In the first part of the talk, we analyse long-term experiments on Daphnia galeata exposed to sublethal pesticide concentrations using a stochastic, age-structured population model. Bayesian inference reveals significant treatment effects — particularly for the insecticide Diazinon — on mortality and fertility, with clone-specific responses reflecting potential adaptation. The model also accounts for strong demographic stochasticity, supporting more reliable interpretation of ecotoxicological data. In a second case study, we develop stochastic models for multi-species systems, including food webs and metacommunities. Using continuous-time Markov processes, we revisit functional response theory, predator prey equations, and finally explore biodiversity dynamics in dynamic landscapes modelled as time-varying random geometric graphs with neutral dynamics. Among other things, our findings show that fluctuating connectivity can enhance both local and regional species richness, offering new theoretical insights into spatiotemporal drivers of biodiversity.
Together, these studies demonstrate how stochastic models can reveal hidden mechanisms in ecological systems — from controlled experiments to complex landscapes.

Gian Marco Palamara was born in Rome and trained as a physicist. For over a decade, he has worked internationally at the intersection of theoretical ecology and ecological modelling, collaborating closely with empiricists to develop robust theoretical frameworks for understanding the drivers of biological diversity. More recently, Gian Marco has been exploring integrative approaches to ecology that bridge disciplinary boundaries, drawing together insights from the mathematical, natural, and social sciences.
