In the late summer of 1999, an extensive mortality gorgonians and other epi‐benthic organisms was observed in Ligurian Sea (Mediterranean Sea) from Tuscan Archipelago to Marseille. Quantitative data Tino Island Portofino Promontory indicated that proportion affected ranged 60% 100% populations having a density 9–27.8 colonies m −2 , suggesting millions sea fans died along coast Liguria. This mass episode coincided with sudden increase water temperature down more than 50 depth. Laboratory...
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...
Abstract Dark marine habitats are often characterized by a food-limited condition. Peculiar dark include caves, the absence of light and limited water flow, which lead to reduced fluxes organic matter for cave-dwelling organisms. We investigated whether most abundant common fish Apogon imberbis has potential play role trophic vector in Mediterranean caves. first analysed stomach contents check repletion changes according nycthemeral cycle. then identified prey items, see they belong species...
This synopsis focuses on the effects of climate change Mediterranean seagrasses, and associated communities, contribution main species, Posidonia oceanica, to mitigation through its role sequestering carbon dioxide. Whilst regression seagrass meadows is well documented, generally linked anthropogenic pressures, global warming could be a cause new significant regressions, notably introduction exotic rise Sea-Surface Temperature (SST), relative sea level. Seagrass communities also affected by...
Results of recent fieldwork were compared with data collected in 1981, taken as a reference condition. Surveys conducted the same method (time-based visual census along random paths), sites, by people. Semi-quantitative inventories conspicuous species analysed univariate and multivariate techniques. Available information on main potential stressors indicated that regime shift has occurred these 30+ years: sea surface temperature rose by1-2°C, human pressure grew impressively, invasion...

Abstract Here we review the multiple interactions between endemic Mediterranean seagrass, Posidonia oceanica , and coastal geomorphologic processes as an outstanding example of biogeomorphology, taking into account recent advances in field. Seagrass meadows are among most important elements for functioning marine ecosystems, represent a major focus research conservation. Being considered priority habitat, P. protected by several European Union directives national laws. In this paper examine:...
Abstract. Inundations and landslides are widespread phenomena in Italy, where they cause severe damage pose a threat to the population. Little is known about public perception of landslide flood risk. This surprising, as an accurate important for successful implementation many risk reduction or adaptation strategies. In attempt address this gap, we have conducted two national surveys measure amongst population Italy. The were 2012 2013, consisted approximately 3100 computer-assisted...
Understanding the effects of environmental change on ecosystems requires identification baselines that may act as reference conditions. However, continuous these references challenges our ability to define true natural status ecosystems. The so-called sliding baseline syndrome can be overcome through analysis quantitative time series, which are, however, extremely rare. Here we show how combining historical data with descriptive 'naturalistic' information arranged in a chronological chain...

The Ligurian Sea is a deep basin in the northernmost sector of western Mediterranean which shows peculiar hydrodynamic and meteo-oceanographic features. coasts are among most urbanised industrialised along Italian coastline: main causes disturbance being littoral urban development harbour activities, building rail- highways, presence several polluted discharges. This review, by evaluating huge scientific output published last three decades, describes discusses important geological,...
