Abstract Spread of alien species (AS) is a serious threat to marine habitats and analysis principal descriptors their occurrence pivotal set reliable conservation strategies. In order assess the susceptibility biological invasions, dataset was gathered 3899 from 29 phyla, taken 93 sites located along Italian coast in period 2000–2012. total, 61 AS belonging 11 phyla have been recorded. Invertebrates were most represented (63%). Alien found all examined (EUNIS, level 2), although they showed...
The new benthic toxic dinoflagellate, Ostreopsis fattorussoi sp. nov., is described from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, Lebanon and Cyprus coasts, supported by morphological molecular data. plate formula, Po, 3', 7″, 6c, 7s, 5‴, 2'''', typical for genus. It differs all other species in that (i) curved suture between plates 1' 3' makes them approximately hexagonal, (ii) lies left half of epitheca obliquely orientated leading to a characteristic shape 6″. round thecal pores are bigger than two...
The ecology of Ostreopsis cf. ovata blooms was investigated to evaluate the role environmental factors (temperature, hydrodynamism, nutrient concentrations, depth and substratum) on bloom dynamics. This paper reports present knowledge O. along Conero Riviera (NW Adriatic Sea), basis samplings carried out from 2006 2010. annual maximum benthic cell abundance always observed in late-summer, reaching order magnitude 106 cells g-1 fw (corresponding 107 dw 104 cm-2) macrophyte samples. Comparing...
The colonization of epilithic diatoms on artificial hard substrates (marble, quartzite and slate) was investigated a seasonal basis in subtidal site the northern Adriatic Sea to determine if substrate-dependent differences occurs define variations microepilithic communities terms abundance, biomass community structure. Artificial (smoothed small discs mounted Plexiglas sheet) were placed at depth 8 m April 2003, July January 2004 February 2004. collected after 6–7 weeks for counting...
