Rajidae (colloquially known as skates and rays) experienced multiple parallel adaptive radiations allowing high species diversity great differences of composition between regional faunas. Nevertheless, they show considerable conservation bio-ecological, morphological reproductive traits. The evolutionary history dispersal North-east Atlantic Mediterranean rajid fauna were investigated throughout the sequence analysis control region 16S rDNA mitochondrial genes. Molecular estimates divergence...
Mesophotic assemblages are the next frontier of marine exploration in Mediterranean Sea. Located below recreational scuba diving depths, they difficult to access but host a diverse array habitats structured by large invertebrate species. The Eastern has been much less explored than western part basin and its mesophotic virtually unknown. We here describe two (77-92 m depth) molluscan at rocky reef on soft substrate off northern Israel. record 172 species, which 43 (25%) first records for...
Abstract The fine structure of midgut cells in two species Cladocera (Crustacea: Branchiopoda) has unique features when it is compared to that the midguts other arthropods. Features which suggest food absorbed digested form are: presence peritrophic membrane, glycocalyx, almost complete absence pinocytotic vesicles, and large surface area a great number microvilli. Digested products presumably pass into hemolymph through network extracellular canals cisterns surrounding basal ends intestinal...
The molluscan assemblages inhabiting the leaf and rhizome layers of Posidonia oceanica were studied in a deep water (–24/26 m) settlement highly heterogeneous substratum on an off-shore reef central Tyrrhenian Sea. This is one few works dealing with layer that has settled hard substrata. assemblage only had species, less than other at comparable depth same basin. poorness may be due to depth, but it also high fragmentation meadow. However, percentage carnivores consistent previous...
While central and northern European land-mollusc forest communities have received considerable research effort, southern Europe has enjoyed much less attention.Despite the extent of Italian forests in terms altitude latitude, there been only one previous quantitative study their molluscan faunas.This paper describes six habitats Italy along an altitudinal transect.Species richness had its highest values at low elevations, especially maritime woodland riverine poplar woodland.Species...
Anadara demiri (Piani, 1981) is an alien species in the Mediterranean Sea extending its range from Turkey westernly to Adriatic Sea, where it locally abundant. The was first identified as Arca amygdalum Philippi, 1847 1970s. locus typicus of A. China. This identification has never been discussed and thought be Indo-Pacific origin date. However, province no shows any similarity with . Morphological molecular data suggest closely related transversa (Say, 1822), a common eastern coasts North...
This work represents an attempt to resolve the confused and contradictory taxonomy of Mediterranean chitons genus Acanthochitona by analysing morphological (SEM observations aesthetes, radula girdle) molecular data (COI, 12S, ITS1). Both analyses support validity three species, fascicularis, A. crinita oblonga, latter two which were previously considered as synonymous.
Species are fundamental units in evolutionary biology. However, defining them taxonomically problematic groups requires integration of independent sources information order to develop robust hypotheses for taxonomic classification. Here, we propose an integrative framework species delimitation the Mediterranean genus Cerithium (Caenogastropoda: Cerithiidae), whose shells show a wide variety forms resulting morphological identification at level. Combined sequence data two mitochondrial genes...

The importance of natural history museums is often underappreciated, but they provide society with a number services. Among these, are fundamental tool for assessing extinction rates and range contractions, or the only way to access species extinct in historical times. In this perspective, we describe here collection Unionida Museo di Zoologia dell’Università Bologna, containing one (Epioblasma haysiana) nine threatened species, plus another 47 species. was built mid-19th century potentially...

The Mediterranean mangeliid species commonly ascribed to the genus Mangelia Risso, 1826 are here reviewed with description of three new species: algarvensis Spada n. sp., M. striolatoides Sabelli & sp. and tenuisculpta One genus, Pseudomangelia gen.

ISSN 0024–1164. few shells of Micropilina (Mollusca, Monoplacophora) have been found in middle Pleistocene (Sicilian) epibathyal clays at Archi (Reggio Calabria, southern Italy). The species appears conchologically indistinguishable from the Recent Atlantic taxon minuta Warén, 1989. This finding represents first record a
