Spatial priorities for the conservation of three key Mediterranean habitats, i.e. seagrass Posidonia oceanica meadows, coralligenous formations, and marine caves, were determined through a systematic planning approach. Available information on distribution these habitats across entire Sea was compiled to produce basin-scale maps. Conservation targets each habitat type set according European Union guidelines. Surrogates used estimate spatial variation opportunity cost commercial,...
In this study, methanolic extracts of six marine algae belong to Rhodophyceae (Corallina officinalis), Phaeophyceae (Cystoseira barbata, Dictyota dichotoma,Halopteris filicina, Cladostephus spongiosus f. verticillatus) and Chlorophyceae (Ulva rigida) from the North Aegean Sea (Turkey) were studied for their antibacterial activity against pathogenic microbes, 3 gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus Enterococcus faecalis) Gram negative (Escherichia coli, Enterobacter...
The Collective Article “New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records” of the Marine Science journal offers means to publish biodiversity records in Sea. current article is divided per countries, listed according a west-east geographic position. New data are reported for 7 different although one species hereby from Malta overall new entire basin, and presumably present also Israel Lebanon (see below Malta).

The 2020's update of marine alien species list from Turkey yielded a total 539 belonging to 18 taxonomic groups, 404 which have become established in the region and 135 are casual. A 185 new been added since previous 2011. present compilation includes reports an ascidian (Rhodosoma turcicum) fauna range extensions six species. Among species, 105 invasive characters at least one zoogeographic region, comprising 19% all Mollusca ranked first terms number (123 species), followed by Foraminifera...

Macroalgal forests are one of the most productive and valuable marine ecosystems, but yet strongly exposed to fragmentation loss. Detailed large-scale information on their distribution is largely lacking, hindering conservation initiatives. In this study, a systematic effort combine spatial data Cystoseira C. Agardh canopies (Fucales, Phaeophyta) was carried out develop Habitat Suitability Model (HSM) at Mediterranean scale, providing critical tools improve site prioritization for...
This paper presents records extending or confirming the distribution of Mediterranean species. Three alien algae are included, namely Codium taylorii reported for first time from Aegean and Turkey (Izmir Gulf), Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Karpathos Chalki Isl., Sea) Ganonema farinosum Sea). As far as animals concerned, Litarachna divergens (Acari: Hydrachnidia) was recorded (Side, Eastern Mediterranean) represents a new amendment at genus level Turkish fauna. Other invertebrates...
Algal habitat-forming forests composed of fucalean brown seaweeds ( Cystoseira , Ericaria and Gongolaria ) have severely declined along the Mediterranean coasts, endangering maintenance essential ecosystem services. Numerous factors determine loss these assemblages operate at different spatial scales, which must be identified to plan conservation restoration actions. To explore critical stressors (natural anthropogenic) that may cause habitat degradation, we investigated (a) patterns...
We investigated sexual function in females with fibromyalgia (FM) and evaluate whether coexistent major depression (MD) has an additional negative effect on function.A total of 100 female subjects were enrolled the study, including 40 FM only, 27 plus MD 33 healthy volunteers as a control group. The diagnosis was made according to Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic Statistical Manual-IV interview Hamilton Depression Rate Scale used grade depression. Widespread pain quality life...
The current article presents 18 new records from seven Mediterranean countries. These include one rhodophyte, fournudibranchs, two crustaceans, stingray and 10 bony fishes. They are grouped by country as follows: Lebanon - first record ofthe Striped bass Morone saxatilis, the Himantura leoparda, Areolate grouper Epinephelus areolatus Spot-finporcupinefish Diodon hystrix various parts of country; Turkey invasive red alga Grateloupia turuturufrom sea Marmara (region Bandırma), slug...
Effective monitoring of non-indigenous seaweeds and combatting their effects relies on a solid confirmation the status respective species. We critically analysed presumed seaweed species reported from Mediterranean Sea, Northeast Atlantic Ocean Macaronesia, resulting in list 140 whose nature is undisputed. For an additional 87 it unclear if they are native or (cryptogenic species) identity requires (data deficient species). discuss factors underlying both taxonomic biogeographic...

Abstract This paper provides the first comprehensive checklist of seaweeds Cyprus, based on both literature records and new collections. The total number species infraspecific taxa currently accepted is 313, including 53 green algae (Ulvophyceae), 90 brown (Phaeophyceae), 170 red (Rhodophyta). Among them, 30 are reported for time from Cyprus: 7 algae, 9 14 while regarded as aliens. In addition, 10 pending confirmation their presence, 3 excludenda , inquirenda briefly discussed.
The present work reports on the extended distribution of nineteen species in Mediterranean. These are: Upeneus pori(Fish:Turkey), Bursatella leachii (Mollusca, Opisthobranchia: eastern coast Spain), Sparisoma cretense (Fish: Ionian coastof Greece), Pseudobryopsis myura (Chlorophyta: Turkey), Aplysia dactylomela Karpathos island,and Kyklades Archipelago, Asparagopsis armata and Botryocladia madagascariensis (Rhodophyta: South Peloponnesos,Greece), Oxynotus centrina Caulerpa racemosa var....
Marine macrophytes (macroalgae and angiosperms) were defined as one of the biological quality elements to assess ecological status transitional coastal waters by European Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC). In present study, Ecological Evaluation Index (EEI-c) was tested anthropogenic impact using marine benthic pressures MA-LUSI in Turkish waters. Macrophyte samples collected from 56 stations on coasts Turkey (at 17 Black Sea, 15 Marmara 13 Aegean Sea 11 Mediterranean water bodies)...
Abstract The coralligenous habitat was studied at the large Mediterranean scale, by applying a standardized, non‐destructive photo‐sampling protocol, developed in framework of CIGESMED project. results provided evidence to support following statements: (a) assemblage pattern is not homogeneously distributed across four ecoregions ( biotic gradients hypothesis ); and (b) does change significantly when information aggregated higher taxonomic levels sufficiency ). Surrogate categories than...
Seagrass Posidonia oceanica is an endemic and a keystone marine plant in the Mediterranean Sea. It has been decline distribution of P. meadows by several anthropogenic pressures (i.e. pollution, transportation, intensive coastal use, overfishing ground scanning methods, anchors, aquaculture activities, alien invasive species, overgrazing, tourist activities). The aim this study, to evaluate impact fish farm island (Kızkulesi Island, Dikili, İzmir) on seagrass meadow from Aegean coasts...
