The Collective Article “New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records” of the Marine Science journal offers means to publish biodiversity records in Sea. current article is divided per countries, listed according a west-east geographic position. New data are reported for 7 different although one species hereby from Malta overall new entire basin, and presumably present also Israel Lebanon (see below Malta). Italy: rare native fish Gobius kolombatovici first Ionian Sea, whilst alien jellyfish...
Article Contribution to the Knowledge of Benthic Marine Algae on Rocky Substrata Maltese Islands (Mediterranean Sea) was published January 1, 1997 in journal Botanica Marina (volume 40, issue 1-6).
The MARCOS cruise, which took place in the South Central Mediterranean Sea on board RV ‘Urania’, resulted collection of 27 species Echinodermata from shallow to bathyal depths, many around Malta (the Fisheries Management Zone). fauna is represented by common rare taxa already reported with exception amphi-Atlantic ophiuroid Ophiotreta valenciennesi rufescens (Koehler, 1896), recorded Basin for first time. Odontaster mediterraneus (von Marenzeller, 1893) and Luidia sarsi Lutken, 1858 are also...
Twenty-six specimens of Heteralepas were discovered attached to a derelict nylon mooring line recovered from 100–150 m depth off Malta in the Mediterranean Sea. These shell-less barnacles could be distinguished 28 previously described species by following combination morphological characters: relative lengths capitulum and peduncle; presence clear demarcation between ovoid wrinkled but lacking tubercles ridges; aperture large with crenulate or flaring lips. COI 18S, 12S ribosomal RNA gene...
The family Cerithiopsidae H. Adams and A. Adams, 1853 is distributed worldwide, comprises around 800 extant species divided into ~40 genera. most speciose genus within the Cerithiopsis Forbes Hanley, 1850, a taxon currently used as general receptacle rather than proper phylogenetic lineage. We hereby redescribe rare horrida di Monterosato, 1874, review its nomenclature, known material, distribution well figure entire protoconch, operculum, radula for first time. Our results highlight extreme...
The presence of specimens the asteroid Sclerasterias richardi(Perrier, 1882) in Maltese waters,with some new details its morphology (observed by SEM) and with special reference to madreporites,is reported.
Atys jeffreysi is a heterobranch Cephalaspidea gastropod belonging to the family Haminoeidae occurring in Mediterranean Sea, Madeira and Canary archipelagos. Nearly nothing known about internal anatomical features of this species. In paper we redescribe species A. based on fine work scanning electron microscopy. DNA barcodes are provided for first time macandrewii, only two genus native Sea. The genetic distance (COI uncorrected p-distance) between them estimate at 21.6%. A Bayesian...
The marine isopod family Acanthaspidiidae Menzies, 1962 (Asellota, Janiroidea) has global distribution from shelf to hadal depth. majority of species been recorded relatively deep waters and the Southern Hemisphere. To date, 36 have described in belonging three genera:
