Abstract

To enrich spatio-temporal information on the distribution of alien, cryptogenic, and neonative species in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, a collective effort by 173 marine scientists was made to provide unpublished records and make them open access to the scientific community. Through this effort, we collected and harmonized a dataset of 12,649 records. It includes 247 taxa, of which 217 are Animalia, 25 Plantae and 5 Chromista, from 23 countries surrounding the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Chordata was the most abundant taxonomic group, followed by Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Annelida. In terms of species records, Siganus luridus, Siganus rivulatus, Saurida lessepsianus, Pterois miles, Upeneus moluccensis, Charybdis (Archias) longicollis, and Caulerpa cylindracea were the most numerous. The temporal distribution of the records ranges from 1973 to 2022, with 44% of the records in 2020–2021. Lethrinus borbonicus is reported for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea, while Pomatoschistus quagga, Caulerpa cylindracea, Grateloupia turuturu, and Misophria pallida are first records for the Black Sea; Kapraunia schneideri is recorded for the second time in the Mediterranean and for the first time in Israel; Prionospio depauperata and Pseudonereis anomala are reported for the first time from the Sea of Marmara. Many first country records are also included, namely: Amathia verticillata (Montenegro), Ampithoe valida (Italy), Antithamnion amphigeneum (Greece), Clavelina oblonga (Tunisia and Slovenia), Dendostrea cf. folium (Syria), Epinephelus fasciatus (Tunisia), Ganonema farinosum (Montenegro), Macrorhynchia philippina (Tunisia), Marenzelleria neglecta (Romania), Paratapes textilis (Tunisia), and Botrylloides diegensis (Tunisia).

Abstract

The red gorgonian Paramuricea clavata is a fundamental ecosystem engineer of coralligenous biocenosis in the Mediterranean Sea, where it plays crucial ecological functions and enhances the habitat biodiversity. However, this species is strongly endangered due to climate change-related stressors such as mucilage events, which have increased in recent decades causing extensive damage and mortality, but whose impacts at the molecular and cellular levels are still unexplored. In this study, different cellular stress biomarkers were analyzed in mucilage-colonized P. clavata specimens living in the Portofino Marine Protected Area (Ligurian Sea, Italy), in order to elucidate the cellular pathways affected by mucilage and the cellular defense mechanisms adopted. Within these colonies, portions of healthy tissue located at different distances from mucilage-induced necrosis were considered. Our results showed that mucilage affected the cellular oxidative status and impaired lipid cell membranes of the whole P. clavata colony. Indeed, an increase in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR) enzymatic activity and in the level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) was detected in colonies showing mucilage-induced necrotic tissues compared to healthy ones. In particular, fragments sampled just next to the necrotic tissue displayed the highest levels of SOD and LPO, indicating that harmful oxidative damage was in progress, especially in portions neighboring the mucilage colonization. In this context, the up-regulation of the antioxidant mechanisms might represent a defense and a barrier from hypoxic or anoxic conditions created by mucilage overgrowth or by the invasion of toxic organisms embedded in the mucilaginous aggregates. On the contrary, the cellular protein homeostasis, analyzed by the expression of the 60-kDa Heat shock protein (Hsp60), was not altered by the mucilage. This analysis contributes to provide new insights into the cellular and molecular response of

Abstract

Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) and mass mortality events (MMEs) of marine organisms are one of their main ecological impacts. Here, we show that during the 2015–2019 period, the Mediterranean Sea has experienced exceptional thermal conditions resulting in the onset of five consecutive years of widespread MMEs across the basin. These MMEs affected thousands of kilometers of coastline from the surface to 45 m, across a range of marine habitats and taxa (50 taxa across 8 phyla). Significant relationships were found between the incidence of MMEs and the heat exposure associated with MHWs observed both at the surface and across depths. Our findings reveal that the Mediterranean Sea is experiencing an acceleration of the ecological impacts of MHWs which poses an unprecedented threat to its ecosystems' health and functioning. Overall, we show that increasing the resolution of empirical observation is critical to enhancing our ability to more effectively understand and manage the consequences of climate change.

26. Chapter One - Serpulid reefs and their role in aquatic ecosystems: A global review.

Abstract

The Serpulidae are a large family of sedentary polychaetes, characterized by a calcareous habitation tube, which they cannot leave. The calcium carbonate tube is in the form of both aragonite and calcite, in fairly constant ratio for each taxon. Tubes are cemented firmly to any hard substrate (in only few species tubes are free). Although in the majority of the species the tubes encrust the substrate for all their length, the distal part may eventually detach and grow erectly. Certain species in dense populations build tubes vertical to the substrate in clumps and cement the tubes to each other. This gives serpulids the capability of forming reef-life structures when densely settling. Despite the relative smallness of the individual tubes (rarely longer than 15 cm and wider than 1 cm), such reef-like structures may cover tens of m2, with a layer more than 1 m thick. Serpulid reefs can be divided roughly into seven groups, according to the building modality and the type of habitat they occupy: (i) pseudocolonies; (ii) littoral belts; (iii) subtidal to deep-water reefs; (iv) reefs in coastal lakes and harbours; (v) brackish water reefs; (vi) tapestries in freshwater caves; (vii) biostalactites inside marine caves. The role of serpulid reefs in the ecosystems they inhabit is multifarious and may be distinguished in functions (biomass and production, benthic pelagic coupling, resistance and resilience, reproductive and survivorship strategies, trophodynamics, bioconstruction, living space and refuge, nursery, sediment formation and retention, food for other species, carbonate deposition and storage) and services (water clearance, reef associated fishery, cultural benefits). On the other hand, many serpulids are important constituents of biological fouling, and their calcareous masses damage submerged artefacts, causing huge economic costs. Positive and negative roles of serpulid reefs need to be compared with common metrics; the overall balance, however, is still to be assessed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Monitoring the spread of non-indigenous species is fundamental to study global warming effects on marine biodiversity. A valuable tool is represented by the continuous updating of the geographic range expansion of non-indigenous species. Lamprohaminoea ovalis is a Lessepsian mollusc initially recorded in the Mediterranean Sea in 2001. This paper reports its range expansion over the last 20 years related to water warming. The first record of Lamprohaminoea ovalis from the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean) is also reported. Two individuals (about 10 mm length) were observed on a sub-vertical rocky bottom at 26 m depth displaying potential trailing behaviour. This recent finding extends the currently known distributional range of Lamprohaminoea ovalis, representing the northernmost occurrence of this non-indigenous species in the western Mediterranean Sea.

Blue holes are vertical water-filled openings in carbonate rock that exhibit complex morphology, ecology, and water chemistry. In this study, macroscopic microbial mat structures found in complete anoxic conditions in the Faanu Mudugau Blue Hole (Maldives) were studied by metagenomic methods. Such communities have likely been evolutionary isolated from the surrounding marine environment for more than 10,000 years since the Blue Hole formation during the last Ice Age. A total of 48 high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were recovered, predominantly composed of the phyla Chloroflexota, Proteobacteria and Desulfobacterota. None of these MAGs have been classified to species level (<95% ANI), suggesting the discovery of several new microbial taxa. In particular, MAGs belonging to novel bacterial genera within the order Dehalococcoidales accounted for 20% of the macroscopic mat community. Genome-resolved metabolic analysis of this dominant microbial fraction revealed a mixotrophic lifestyle based on energy conservation via fermentation, hydrogen metabolism and anaerobic CO 2 fixation through the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. Interestingly, these bacteria showed a high proportion of ancestral genes in their genomes providing intriguing perspectives on mechanisms driving microbial evolution in this peculiar environment. Overall, our results provide new knowledge for understanding microbial life under extreme conditions in blue hole environments., (© 2024 The Author(s).
