个人简介
Dr Antonio Canepa has worked on the study of environmental forcings on the distribution and behaviours of the massive proliferation of organisms that indicate climate change and that on some occasions represent a threat to public health. Among his most cited works (93 citations) is a compilation work (published in a book) about the available knowledge and new contributions of his own on the distribution and environmental forcing of population fluctuations and distribution of the most common jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea ( Canepa et al., 2014). This paper presents a new hypothesis regarding the association of geomorphology and coastal hydrology associated with underwater canyons in the concentration of organisms in coastal areas and how citizen science data contribute to the knowledge of these patterns and processes. In this work, Dr Canepa contributed new knowledge and compiled all the information available to date for the species in the Mediterranean Sea, coordinating the work with researchers from 2 other countries. In this and future works he has promoted the use of participatory monitoring and citizen science in understanding mesoscale phenomena. Thus, in 2015 (Benedetti-Cecchi, et al.) Using “environmental bootstrap” techniques on participatory data of jellyfish arrivals to the coasts of Catalonia, they supported the hypothesis of the role of canyons in channelling jellyfish to the coast in moments of emergence, providing a new mechanism unknown until that date of formation of large aggregations with implications for the economy and tourism (Nunes et al., 2015) and on people's health (Bordehore et al., 2016). In the study of environmental forcings, Dr Canepa worked on a new theory related to the role of the melting of Antarctic glaciers and the consequent dragging of sediment as a cause of massive mortalities of key species of the Antarctic ecosystem (Fuentes et al., 2016), a phenomenon never before described. In this work, both field campaigns and laboratory experiments were carried out in which the analysis of the results showed that the deaths were due to environmental forcings accelerated by human activity. In this same sense, in 2017, Dr Canepa and collaborators determined the environmental variables that determine the presence and massive proliferation of a coastal jellyfish with high danger to human health, where the most important variables had to do with the activity concerning the increase in nutrients in the coastal zone due, in part, to the excess contribution of nutrients to the coastal environment. This hypothesis generated provided novel information for a poorly reported species, but with great impact on the coastal economy and the health of tourists (Borde et al, 2011). In 2020, Dr Canepa and collaborators characterized the disturbances of large-scale oceanographic phenomena (ENSO) and their role in the generation, maintenance and distribution of one of the most striking proliferation and massive arrivals to the coast that exist of a pelagic species. (Siphonophora) highly toxic, for more than three consecutive years that brought consequences on the health of people and the management of coastal areas. The data of the massive arrival of the organizations to the coastal zones were collected in a participatory way, giving support once again to the use of citizen science in the understanding and generation of new knowledge on Spatio-temporal scales difficult to comprehend by traditional science ( Canepa et al., 2020). Recently, Dr Canepa has participated in the modelling of the probability of arrival of swarms of jellyfish on the coasts of 4 countries in the western basin of the Mediterranean Sea, using Citizen Science data. These data, which came from 4 countries and two different schemes for citizen participation, also shed light on the necessary processing and standardization techniques when working with data from citizen science (Marambio et al., 2021). To understand oceanographic dynamics and their influence on the early stages of these organisms, Dr Canepa participated in a work in which statistical modelling methods were able to determine the role of water masses and spatial heterogeneity as forcing their distribution. early stages, generating new knowledge about very little known organisms. During the last years, Dr Canepa has worked in the connection with the environment and scientific dissemination, coordinating and directing Citizen Science projects related to the ecological quality of river systems. In these projects, he has given more than 30 talks and workshops on scientific dissemination of the role of citizen science in the study and conservation of ecosystems, particularly in fluvial systems. It has also collaborated with companies, universities and non-governmental organizations in the education and training of technicians and scientists in data analysis techniques from participatory Biodiversity monitoring.
