The Mediterranean Sea is home to over 2/3 of the world’s charter boat traffic and hosts an estimated 1.5 million recreational boats. Studies elsewhere have demonstrated marinas as important hubs for stepping-stone transfer non-indigenous species (NIS), but these unique anthropogenic, typically artificial habitats largely gone overlooked in sources NIS hot-spots. From April 2015 November 2016, 34 were sampled across following countries: Spain, France, Italy, Malta, Greece, Turkey Cyprus...
The study of ecosystem functioning – the role which organisms play in an is becoming increasingly important marine ecological research. functional structure a community can be represented by set traits assigned to behavioural, reproductive and morphological characteristics. collection these from literature however laborious time-consuming process, gaps knowledge restricted availability are common problem.

The last annotated checklist of marine polychaetes in Greece was published 2001. Since then, global taxonomic progress, combined with many new species records for Greece, required a thorough review the taxonomic, nomenclatural and biogeographic status national list. This revises all extant polychaete reported from Greek Exclusive Economic Zone since 1832. work undertaken as part efforts on compiling inventory (Greek Taxon Information System initiative) framework LifeWatchGreece Research...
Molecular methods such as DNA/eDNA metabarcoding have emerged useful tools to document the biodiversity of complex communities over large spatio-temporal scales. We established an international Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON) combining standardised sampling using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) with for genetic marine hard-bottom benthic communities. Here, we present data our first campaign comprising 56 ARMS units deployed in 2018-2019 and retrieved...
Continuing the international efforts of ARMS Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (ARMS-MBON), we present data from second sampling campaign, coming 56 Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) deployed in 2020 and 2021 along European coasts under Omics (EMO BON). The set includes information on locations conditions, sample archiving, quality reports collected samples. Data metadata are openly accessible can be downloaded associated GitHub repository. Sequence accessed via Nucleotide...
Unmanned aerial and autonomous surface vehicles (UAVs ASVs, respectively) are two emerging technologies for the mapping of coastal marine environments. Using UAV photogrammetry, sea-bottom composition can be resolved with very high fidelity in shallow waters. At greater depths, acoustic methodologies have far better propagation properties compared to optics; therefore, ASVs equipped multibeam echosounders (MBES) better-suited applications deeper In this work, a classification methodology is...
