Introduction of the South American slipper limpet Crepipatella dilatata in Europe: Secondary spread in the Northeast Atlantic and first records for the Mediterranean Sea Mar. Biodivers. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-04
Abstract The slipper limpet Crepipatella dilatata, native to Chile and Argentina, was introduced in north-western Spain in 2005 and since then has spread to the Galician and Cantabrian coasts. In this work, we provide the first molecularly validated record of an established population of C. dilatata in central Portugal (Aveiro), and of reproductive individuals (i.e. brooding females) of C. dilatata

Functional arrangement and temporal analyses of the coastal fish community of the southern Gulf of Mexico Mar. Biodivers. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-01 Rosalía Aguilar-Medrano, María Eugenia Vega-Cendejas
The southern Gulf of Mexico presents a wide diversity of habitats and fish, which makes it important for its natural resources, and the expansion of the fishing, port, and oil industry. In the present study, physicochemical parameters, and the biomass, density, and functional arrangement of the fish community were contrasted over 32 stations and three years (2011–2013) to establish a baseline and assess

Effects of environmental and climatic drivers on abyssal macrobenthic infaunal communities from the NE Pacific nodule province Mar. Biodivers. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-01 Stefanie Kaiser, Paulo Bonifácio, Terue C. Kihara, Lenaick Menot, Annemiek Vink, Ann-Kathrin Wessels, Pedro Martinez Arbizu
The macrofauna in soft sediments of the deep seafloor is generally diverse and represents a comparatively well-studied faunal group of deep-sea ecosystems. In the abyss of the Clarion Clipperton Fracture Zone (CCFZ) in the NE Pacific, macrofauna are major contributors to benthic biodiversity. Their distribution, composition, and diversity have been frequently investigated to assess the potential impacts

Abstract A new species of the genus Lunovula Rosenberg, 1990, Lunovula supingae sp. nov. feeding on deep-sea hydroid Solanderia sp. (Solanderiidae, commonly known as tree hydroid) is described and illustrated from the East China Sea and South China Sea. It is most similar to Lunovula venusta Tsuchida & Kurozumi, 1999 in general shell shape but can be distinguished from the latter by having a more elevated

Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding is revolutionizing biodiversity monitoring, but comparisons against traditional data rarely include long-term historical inventories. We targeted eukaryotes by amplifying a fragment of the 18S gene from eDNA isolated from seawater samples at 20 sites in the Gulf of California (GC) and contrasted regional taxonomic diversity against 316 simultaneous visual

Tropical seamounts as stepping-stones for coral reef fishes: range extensions and new regional distributions from mesophotic ecosystems in the Coral Sea, Australia Mar. Biodivers. (IF 1.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-20
Abstract Seamounts and remote oceanic islands serve as valuable natural laboratories in which to study patterns and processes in marine biodiversity. A central hypothesis arising from studies of these systems is the ecological function of seamounts as stepping-stones for dispersal and population connectivity. Evidence of this mechanism exists for a range of taxa, including coral reef fishes, but is

Abstract Interest in deep-sea mining for polymetallic nodules as an alternative source to onshore mines for various high-technology metals has risen in recent years, as demands and costs have increased. The need for studies to assess its short- and long-term consequences on polymetallic nodule ecosystems is therefore also increasingly prescient. Recent image-based expedition studies have described
