Time lags in non-indigenous species (NIS) reporting can create uncertainty the analysis of NIS introduction rates, which lead to inadequate actions, prevention measures and their evaluation. The present study aims highlight time marine Mediterranean Sea, i.e.: that mediates from detection a new Sea until its publication. Our results revealed lag has been considerably decreased during last decades. There is also noticeable difference association with taxonomic group species. Fish have...
Objective Τo determine whole-brain and regional functional connectivity (FC) characteristics of patients with neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE) or without manifestations (non-NPSLE) examine their association cognitive performance. Methods Cross-recurrence quantification analysis (CRQA) resting-state MRI (rs-fMRI) data was performed in 44 NPSLE, 20 NPSLE 35 healthy controls (HCs). Volumetric total brain specific cortical subcortical regions, where significant changes were identified, performed....
The findings of the crabs Arcania brevifrons and Macrophthalmus (Macrophthalmus) indicus, native to Indo-West Pacific Ocean Red Sea, Indian respectively, in 2021 are described from Rhodes Island, Greece.This first record leucosiid A. Hellenic waters Aegean Sea documents westward expansion its Mediterranean distribution.Two individuals introduced macrophthalmid M. (M.) indicus were found stomachs silver-cheeked toadfish (Lagocephalus sceleratus), a fish species that itself is invasive.For...
The first record of the tropical green seaweed Halimeda incrassata (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) in Eastern Mediterranean Sea is presented, based on several thalli found stomach a silver-cheeked toadfish (Lagocephalus sceleratus), collected off Plimmiri beach, Rhodes, Greece. Species identification was morphological and molecular using tufA gene as marker. finding comes 10 years after report species Mallorca (Western Sea), where H. has spread rapidly. pathway its introduction basin unknown,...

This study presents the impacts of dredge spoil dumping in pelagic habitat during a 27-month monitoring survey eastern Mediterranean coastal waters (Saronikos Gulf, Aegean Sea), with focus on changes trophic status and eutrophication levels, phytoplankton diversity bloom dynamics. A number environmental parameters metrics were significantly influenced by operations, specifically indices (number species, Diatoms:Dinoflagellates ratio) total abundance, Chlorophyll-a, light transmission,...
