The state-of-art on alien species in the Mediterranean Sea is presented, making distinctions among four subregions defined EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive: (i) Western (WMED); (ii) Central (CMED); (iii) Adriatic (ADRIA); and (iv) Eastern (EMED). updated checklist (December 2010) of marine within each subregion, along with their acclimatization status origin, provided. A total 955 known Mediterranean, vast majority them having being introduced EMED (718), less WMED (328) CMED (267)...
More than 60 marine non-indigenous species (NIS) have been removed from previous lists and 84 added, bringing the total to 986 alien in Mediterranean [775 eastern (EMED), 249 central (CMED), 190 Adriatic Sea (ADRIA) 308 western (WMED)]. There were 48 new entries since 2011 which can be interpreted as approximately one entry every two weeks. The number of continues increase, by 2-3 per year for macrophytes, molluscs polychaetes, 3-4 crustaceans, 6 fish. dominant group among is (with 215...
An illustrated checklist of the Mollusca Galicia Bank, a large and deep seamount off NW Iberian Peninsula, is provided. The studied material was collected in 8 samples Seamount 1 cruise (1987), 7 ECOMARG 0709 (2009) 36 BANGAL 0711 (2011), between 615 1768 m. A total 212 species are known to occur at Bank (1 Monoplacophora, Solenogastres, 3 Polyplacophora, 132 Gastropoda, 54 Bivalvia, 6 Scaphopoda, 9 Cephalopoda), 21 which from previous studies only. Four described as new, 34 first record...
The introduction of new non-indigenous species (NIS) in Spanish marine waters is addressed under Descriptor 2 the European Union’s Marine Strategy Framework Directive. National baseline inventories NIS have been compiled and updated for three subregions (Western Mediterranean Sea, WMED; Bay Biscay–Iberian Coast, ABI; Macaronesia, AMA) with data from 1800 to 2021. An overall 574 were identified an alien, cryptogenic, crypto-expanding, or debatable status, mostly invertebrates (~65%) primary...
The fauna of molluscs associated with deep subtidal Zostera marina beds (12-16 m) in southern spain (alboran sea) has been characterised terms micro-habitat preference, feeding guilds and biogeographical affinity.The species list (162 taxa) is based on sampling completed before the strong eelgrass decline experienced 2005-2006, using different methods (small agassiz trawl covering 222 m 2 quadrates 0.06 ) temporal scales (months, day/night).dominant epifaunal are Jujubinus striatus, Rissoa...
A set of seven dredge hauls, between 195-215 m and 655-660 deep on the NW slope Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain), recovered 15 000 specimens belonging to 295 species molluscs. Of these, 254 are identified at level. Only 47 species, totalling 867 specimens, were live collected, which amounts 84% 94% represented only by shells. The dredges DW 133 (shallowest) 130 (deepest) hold highest number abundance, representing about 90% material. Fifty-one new records for Canarian waters; 23 Spanish...
The World Register of Marine species (WoRMS) has been established for a decade. early history the database involved compilation existing global and regional registers. This aggregation, combined with changes to data types changing needs WoRMS users, resulted in an evolution data-entry consistency over time. With task aggregating accepted names all marine approaching completion, our focus shifted improving quality held while keeping pace addition > 2000 new described annually. paper...

A checklist of marine Mollusca recorded in Spanish jurisdictional waters is presented, based on a thorough literature search and limited input recent field work. The list detailed according to the five demarcations Marine Strategy Framework Directive (NOR, north coast; SUR, coast Gulf Cádiz; ESAL, Strait Gibraltar Alboran Sea; LEBA, East Spain Balearic Islands; CAN, Canary Islands). differentiates coastal species living from supralittoral zone shelf break, deep-sea benthic or demersal...
Macro and megafauna were studied in the Avilés Canyon System (ACS), southern Bay of Biscay (Cantabrian Sea), during several oceanographic cruises carried out from 2009 to 2017. The biodiversity ACS is summarized its description herein updated after sampling surveys programmes (ECOMARG, INDEMARES, SponGES, INTEMARES) conducted by Spanish Institute Oceanography (IEO). This study has previous knowledge canyon area past national international projects, their reports publications as well data...
Abstract The structure of the molluscan assemblages inhabiting subtidal bottoms off west coast Malaga province (southern Spain) and their relation to sediment characteristics were analysed with both univariate multivariate parameters. Five significantly different identified assigned 'sables fins bien calibrés' (SFBC, well sorted fine sands); 'détritique côtier' (DC, coastal bioclastic envasé' (DE, muddy 'coralligène' (CO, coralligenous) biocoenoses Pérès Picard classification. A total 234...
The occurrences of non-indigenous marine molluscs in Tunisia are reviewed, based booth on a literature survey and original material. Species accepted as established if there two independent reports, either geographically separate or at least one month apart time. On these grounds, 14 species (12 alien 2 expanding their range from elsewhere the Mediterranean), 3 aliens need confirmation but likely to meet standards for acceptation short future, 5 records rebutted questioned. Two more may be...
ABSTRACT Oxygen stable isotope (δ18O) analysis of marine biogenic carbonates is widely used to study the temperature at which hard parts precipitated. This technique enables investigation environmental conditions experienced by carbonate-shelled organisms throughout their life. We this approach on four bivalve species from Coralline Crag Formation (Early Pliocene; UK), where warm- and cold-associated co-occur in Ramsholt Member. Our results reveal species-specific differences reconstructed...
Abstract Molluscs associated with a Zostera marina bed from Cantarriján bay (Southern Spain, Alboran Sea) at 14–16 m depth were sampled monthly October 1996 to September 1997. A total of 44,819 individuals belonging 80 species identified. In spite the high richness, only seven gastropods showed dominance value (D) higher than 1%. Jujubinus striatus was dominant assemblage 70.8% abundance. The other Rissoa membranacea (9.8%), Nassarius pygmaeus (5.8%), Mitrella minor (4%), Smaragdia viridis...
