This collaborative effort by many specialists across the Mediterranean presents an updated annotated list of alien marine species in Sea. Alien have been grouped into six broad categories namely established, casual, questionable, cryptogenic, excluded and invasive, presented lists major ecofunctional/taxonomic groups. The establishment success within each group is provided while questionable records are commented brief. A total 963 reported from until December 2005, 218 which classified as...
Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) mass mortality events (MMEs) organisms are one their main ecological impacts. Here, we show that during 2015-2019 period, Mediterranean Sea has experienced exceptional thermal conditions resulting onset five consecutive years widespread MMEs across basin. These affected thousands kilometers coastline from surface to 45 m, a range habitats taxa (50 8 phyla). Significant relationships were found...
Following the symposium held in June 1984 at Port Cros, methods of underwater observation fish communities and populations are critically reviewed. Particular emphasis is laid upon possible causes bias, ways circumventing them. Given some necessary precautions adequate training, within definite limits, observations counts can produce highly reliable results, not obtainable by «blind» techniques. Some examples given, based personal experiences participants, both Mediterranean Indo-Pacific.
Abstract. The fish assemblages of a strictly protected area and neighbouring fished area, located off Mediterranean urbanized coast (Carry‐le‐Rouet, France), were compared in order to select the most evident, constant, easily recorded indices ‘reserve effect’. Visual censusing was repeated simultaneously at both sites eight time year during 3 years along four permanent transects layed on shallow rocky bottoms (9–14 m). Overall species richness 16% higher reserve, but differences average...
Abstract. A Mediterranean fish assemblage has been visually censused over a period of two years from permanent, rocky, infralittoral stations (10–15 m) which display high habitat complexity and are located in protected area. Six home‐range categories were defined for better understanding the community structure was analyzed through qualitative quantitative data. The respective roles different sources variability species composition numerical abundance evaluated.
The genus CollarinaJullien, 1886 (Cribrilinidae Hincks, 1879) has until now been known from the Atlantic-Mediterranean region as just two species, C. balzaci (Audouin, 1826), synonym of Collarina cribrosaJullien, 1886, type species genus, considered to be widely distributed northern British Isles SE Mediterranean, and fayalensis Harmelin, 1978 Macaronesian Isles. Abundant material collected in Mediterranean NE Atlantic, coupled with examination museum specimens, allowed better definition...
Large artificial reef units (LARUs; 158 m 3 ) comprise 38% of 40 000 reefs deployed in France since 1985. Habitat complexity one LARU was increased situ 1991 when 37 small-sized building materials placed randomly inside the empty chambers. The fish fauna, before and after added complexity, compared with fauna an unmodified control through 1987–1989 1997–1998, respectively, by visual censuses. experimental showed higher values all community metrics investigated treatment: total species...
HorneraLamouroux, 1821, a genus which includes large, rigidly erect, ramified and highly calcified cancellate cyclostome species, is represented in the Mediterranean Sea by two H. frondiculata (Lamarck, 1816), type species of genus, previously left unnamed or wrongly attributed to northern lichenoides (Linnæus, 1758), classified under this name as threatened (Barcelona Convention, Annex II). On basis abundant material including well-preserved colonies collected diving, distinctive...
Phylogenetic relationships and the timing of evolutionary events are essential for understanding evolution on longer time scales. Cheilostome bryozoans a group ubiquitous, species-rich, marine colonial organisms with an excellent fossil record but lack phylogenetic inferred from molecular data. We present genome-skimmed data 395 cheilostomes combine these 315 published sequences to infer key among c. 500 cheilostome species. find that named genera species phylogenetically coherent, rendering...
The taxonomy of cyclostome bryozoans is founded on characters the skeleton, but molecular sequence data have increasingly shown that established higher taxa are not monophyletic. Here we describe skeletal morphology a new species from Guadeloupe (French West Indies) with erect ramose colonies consisting long, curved zooids typical suborder Cerioporina among living cyclostomes. However, evidence nuclear ribosomal RNA genes 18S and 28S places taxon in Rectangulata, where this colony-form has...

In this Collective Article on “New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records”, we present additional records of species found in the Sea. These refer to eight different countries throughout northern part basin, and include 28 species, belonging five phyla. The findings per country following species: Spain: Callinectes sapidus Chelidonura fulvipunctata; Monaco: Aplysia dactylomela; Italy: Charybdis (Charybdis) feriata, Carcharodon carcharias, Seriola fasciata, Siganus rivulatus; Malta: Pomacanthus...
Ten new species belonging to three genera (Atlantisina gen. nov., Bathycyclopora Calvetopora nov.) of umbonulomorph bryozoans from northeastern Atlantic seamounts, islands, and the continental slope are introduced. We furthermore erect family Atlantisinidae fam. nov. for these genera. Eight belong genus Atlantisina: Atlantisina atlantis et sp.

The Diastoporidan colony consists of three zones: marginal common bud, a narrow middle zone with erect peristomes and active polypides nourishing the whole colony, large central where are detached, secondary orifices thus formed closed by terminal diaphragms, feeding have degenerated. In many Diastoporidae closure is complete, but in several species diaphragm raised into narrow, open tubule. latter type dwarfed polypide one tentacle only regenerated: autozooid transformed heterozooid...
The brown meagre Sciaena umbra, an iconic demersal fish species in Mediterranean coastal habitats, is particularly vulnerable to fishing pressure and presents a worrying population decline. Fish numbers sizes were surveyed by visual census at Scandola (Corsica) outside reserve zones subject increasing levels of protection, including unprotected (UP) where all activities are permitted, buffer (BZ) partial protection totally protected no-take integral zone (IR). numerical abundance, individual...
Populations of three species juvenile Sparidae ( Diplodus puntazzo , sargus and vulgaris ) were sampled at different spatial scales in the north-western Mediterranean Sea over two years to follow growth after settlement. Length–frequency distributions collected each week for periods six months following arrival off-shore larvae inshore habitats. Data by underwater visual census along permanent transects. Growth rate measured as slope linear relationship between mean size time varied species....
The invasive zooxanthellate coral Oculina patagonica is recorded for the first time from Algeria (2005, 2007) and Tunisia (2006, 2008). Its occurrence in Mediterranean summarized aspects of its biology are discussed an attempt to understand how new sites may have been colonized.
