A mass mortality event (MME) affecting the fan mussel Pinna nobilis was first detected in Spain autumn 2016 and spread north- eastward through Mediterranean Sea. Various pathogens have been blamed for contributing to MME, with emphasis Haplosporidium pinnae , Mycobacterium sp. Vibrio spp. In this study, samples from 762 mussels (necropsies 263 individuals, mantle biopsies 499) of various health conditions, wide geographic age range, taken before during MME environments along Sea, were used...
Molecular methods such as DNA/eDNA metabarcoding have emerged useful tools to document the biodiversity of complex communities over large spatio-temporal scales. We established an international Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON) combining standardised sampling using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) with for genetic marine hard-bottom benthic communities. Here, we present data our first campaign comprising 56 ARMS units deployed in 2018-2019 and retrieved...

The fan mussel Pinna nobilis Linnaeus, 1758 is an endemic species of the Mediterranean Sea, protected by international agreements. It one largest bivalves in world, playing important role benthic communities; yet it has been recently characterized as Critically Endangered IUCN, due to mass mortality events. In this context, assessment genetic variation remaining P. populations and evaluation connectivity among them are crucial elements for conservation species. For purpose, samples were...
Historical biodiversity documents comprise an important link to the long-term data life cycle and provide useful insights on several aspects of research management. However, because their historical context, they present specific challenges, primarily time- effort-consuming in curation. The rescue process requires a multidisciplinary effort involving four tasks: (a) Document digitisation (b) Transcription, which involves text recognition correction, (c) Information Extraction, is performed...
The Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS) (Klein et al. 2019) is a global database of marine biodiversity and associated environmental data, which provides critical information to researchers policymakers worldwide. Ensuring the accuracy consistency data in OBIS essential for its usefulness value, not only scientific community but also science-policy interface. Data Quality Assessment Enhancement Project Team (QCPT), formed 2019 by steering group, aims assess enhance quality. It has...
