Citizen science in marine biodiversity monitoring encounters several challenges such as obtaining unstructured data which may lead to underestimate species presence or introduce spatial bias. In addition those inherent the environment. To address these challenges, efforts must be directed towards (1) enhancing participant engagement increase volume of collected, and (2) developing methods standardize obtained. As December 2024th, over 260.000 observations have been recorded during...
The ongoing biodiversity crisis may result in much of the ocean's being lost or deeply modified without even known. Biological observations need to improve radically serve our understanding marine ecosystems and under multiple climate anthropogenic-related impacts. In European ANERIS project (operAtional seNsing lifE technologies for maRIne ecosystemS), we address these observational challenges by developing next generation sensing marine-life.The proposes concept Operational Marine Biology,...
Bioblitzes have been proven a successful approach for biodiversity monitoring with volunteer participation. are intense periods of biological surveying, in the framework friendly competition among all participants, an attempt to record living species within designated area over continuous time period (e.g., usually 24 hours). The use citizen science platforms, which allow sharing photos organisms participants and validating these observations collaborative way, facilitates design bioblitzes...
The genus Doto Oken, 1815 is, taxonomically, one of the most complex genera nudibranchs due to cryptic nature its species, their small body size, and homogeneity among internal external features. Here, an extensive molecular analysis Mediterranean, Northeastern Atlantic, South American specimens sheds light on species-level taxonomy group. Our multilocus analyses include 171 specimens, 59 newly sequenced, corresponding 20 species. Ten species are included in a phylogeny for first time, two...

Abstract Effective citizen engagement is generally accepted as one of the most important steps for success science programs. However, there a lack common theoretical framework recruitment and projects rely on intuition or trial-and-error to develop their strategies. needs participation frameworks concurrent action different roles implement framework. Besides, we must consider various short-term long-term communities involved in project. Furthermore, platforms are evolving towards...
In the present study, a revision of phylogeny and taxonomy family Dorididae is carried out focusing on genus Doris Linnaeus, 1758. The type species D. verrucosa 1758 blueish yellow morphotype ocelligera collected in different localities Mediterranean Sea North-East Atlantic were sequenced, as well bertheloti elusive marmorata for first time. genetic markers include cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, 16S rRNA, histone 3. phylogenetic results suggest that paraphyletic, morphotypes separate into...
Abstract The evolutionary relationships among genera within the nudibranch family Discodorididae remain poorly understood, with comprehensive molecular studies still largely absent. Discodoris, most species-rich genus this family, has historically represented a wastebasket taxon where species ‘discodoridid’ morphology were placed. In study, we present data to evaluate taxonomic classification of and investigate potential (pseudo)cryptic diversity. Our analyses comprised multilocus...
Citizen (or community) science has provided copious and valuable information about charismatic marine taxa such as heterobranch gastropods, thus contributing enormously to the known geographic distribution of many sea slug species. This study reports new records elusive slugs in coastal western Mediterranean (especially on Catalan French coasts) contributes ecological regarding their phenology, diet behaviour. Out 39 species reported here, 23 are for coast (NE Spain), three pelagic pteropods...
Pteropods are a group of holoplanktonic gastropods special interest because their role in food webs and carbon cycling marine ecosystems. Shelled species indicators ocean acidification due to the high sensitivity calcification processes. Because global change, conserving biodiversity pteropods is key maintaining balance pelagos. Therefore, studying taxonomy genetic diversity relevant for better understanding possible effects rising temperatures, deoxygenation, or oceans. In this study, we...
Abstract Citizen science provides us with much information about charismatic taxa such as the opisthobranchs, thus contributing enormously to enlarging geographic distribution of species. This study collects new records elusive sea slugs and snails in Western Mediterranean coast (especially Catalan French coast) contributes ecological regarding phenology, diet, behaviour. Out 36 species reported here, 20 correspond (NE Spain), three are pelagic pteropods for Spanish coast, 10 other coast....
