The Ascidians of Tossa De Mar (NE Spain) II.- Biological Cycles of the Colonial Species
Cah. Biol. Mar. (1988),29: 407-418 Roscoff The ascidians of Tossa de Mar (NE Spain) II.- Biological cycles of the colonial species x. Turon Dep!. of Animal Biology (Vertebrates). Fac. of Biology. Univ. of Barcclona. Avgda. Diagonal, 645. 08028 Barcelona. Spain. Abstract : The ascidians from a locality on the Spanish NE coast were sampled from November 1984 until January 1986, with the aim of studying their biological cycles. Only the results conceming the co lonial species will be presented here. The samplings were performed twice a month, and the relative abundance, reproductivc statc and presence of resistance forms of the compound ascidian species were evaluated. Many species feature seasonal variations in abundance and even disappear from the samples in the unfavourable season. The reproductive periods are always restricted to a certain part of the year and they are strongly correlated with the biogeographical distribution of the species. The tempe rature ap pears as the main factor controlling ascidian reproduction. Notes are made on the significance of the resistance forms in the families Polyclinidae and Didemnidae. Résumé: Les ascidics présentes dans les fonds rocheux d'une localité de la côte NE espagnole ont été étudiées depuis novembrc 1984 jusqu'à janvier 1986, dans Ic but de préciser leurs cycles biologiques. Dans ce travail, seuls les résultats correspondant à des espèces coloniales seront présentés. L'abondance relative, les périodes de reproduction sexuée et la présence de formes de résistance ont été évaluées deux fois par mois pendant l'étude. Beaucoup d'espèces montrcnt des variations saisonnières d'abondance, et quelques-unes même dis paraissent pendant la saison défavorable. -

It has a relatively short-lived larval stage, spending only limited time in the water column before settling on a desirable substrate. Early detection of this species is an important step in both the prevention of its spread and of successful eradication. Here we report the development of a qPCR based assay, targeted to a region of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene, using TaqMan® MGB, for the early identification of S. -
Ascidiacea (Chordata: Tunicata) of Greece: an Updated Checklist

Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e9273. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.4.e9273 Abstract Background The checklist of the ascidian fauna (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) of Greece was compiled within the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS), an application of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) aiming to produce a complete checklist of species recorded from Greece. This checklist was constructed by updating an existing one with the inclusion of recently published records. All the reported species from Greek waters were taxonomically revised and cross-checked with the Ascidiacea World Database. New information The updated checklist of the class Ascidiacea of Greece comprises 75 species, classified in 33 genera, 12 families, and 3 orders. In total, 8 species have been added to the previous species list (4 Aplousobranchia, 2 Phlebobranchia, and 2 Stolidobranchia). Aplousobranchia was the most speciose order, followed by Stolidobranchia. Most species belonged to the families Didemnidae, Polyclinidae, Pyuridae, Ascidiidae, and Styelidae; these 4 families comprise 76% of the Greek ascidian species richness. The present effort revealed the limited taxonomic research effort devoted to the ascidian fauna of Greece, © Antoniadou C et al. -

Internal phylogeny and relationships between Styelidae and Pyuridae 37 were inconclusive however. In order to clarify these points we used mitochondrial and 38 nuclear sequences from 31 species of Styelidae and 25 of Pyuridae. Phylogenetic trees 39 recovered the Pyuridae as a monophyletic clade, and their genera appeared as 40 monophyletic with the exception of Pyura. -
Factors Structuring Fucus Communities at Open and Complex Coastlines in the Baltic Sea
Factors structuring Fucus communities at open and complex coastlines in the Baltic Sea Martin Isæus Department of Botany, Stockholm University 2004 © Martin Isæus ISBN 91-7265-846-0 Print Center, Frescati Stockholm 2004 Front page photo by Martin Isæus. Sketched illustrations by Meta Isæus-Berlin. 2 Doctoral dissertation 2004 Martin Isæus Department of Botany Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm Sweden Abstract This thesis deals with physical factors and biological interactions affecting the distribution of two fucoid species, Fucus vesiculosus and F. serratus, in the Baltic Sea. Studies have been carried out in two quite different environments: an archipelago, and an open rocky coast. The archipelago has an extremely long coastline with a heterogeneous submerged landscape of different substrate types, slopes, water qualities, and degrees of wave exposure. The factors influencing F. vesiculosus distribution, morphology and epiphyte composition were studied in the Stockholm archipelago using field surveys and spatial modelling in Geographic information systems (GIS). A GIS-method to estimate wave exposure was developed and validated by comparing the result to an index based on vertical zonation of lichens. Wave exposure was considered an important factor for predicting the distribution of F. vesiculosus by its ability to clean hard surfaces from silt, and a predictive model was constructed based on the information of wave exposure and slope of the shore. It is suggested that the lower distribution boundary of attached F. vesiculosus is set by sediment in sheltered parts of the archipelago, and by light availability in highly wave exposed parts. The morphology of F. vesiculosus was studied over a wave exposure gradient, and several characters responded in accordance with earlier studies. -
Seasearch Seasearch Wales 2012 Summary Report Summary Report
Seasearch Wales 2012 Summary Report report prepared by Kate Lock, South and West Wales coco----ordinatorordinator Liz MorMorris,ris, North Wales coco----ordinatorordinator Chris Wood, National coco----ordinatorordinator Seasearch Wales 2012 Seasearch is a volunteer marine habitat and species surveying scheme for recreational divers in Britain and Ireland. It is coordinated by the Marine Conservation Society. This report summarises the Seasearch activity in Wales in 2012. It includes summaries of the sites surveyed and identifies rare or unusual species and habitats encountered. These include a number of Welsh Biodiversity Action Plan habitats and species. It does not include all of the detailed data as this has been entered into the Marine Recorder database and supplied to Natural Resources Wales for use in its marine conservation activities. The data is also available on-line through the National Biodiversity Network. During 2012 we continued to focus on Biodiversity Action Plan species and habitats and on sites that had not been previously surveyed. Data from Wales in 2012 comprised 192 Observation Forms, 154 Survey Forms and 1 sea fan record. The total of 347 represents 19% of the data for the whole of Britain and Ireland. Seasearch in Wales is delivered by two Seasearch regional coordinators. Kate Lock coordinates the South and West Wales region which extends from the Severn estuary to Aberystwyth. Liz Morris coordinates the North Wales region which extends from Aberystwyth to the Dee. The two coordinators are assisted by a number of active Seasearch Tutors, Assistant Tutors and Dive Organisers. Overall guidance and support is provided by the National Seasearch Coordinator, Chris Wood. -

De befinner sig mellan poesi och verklighet. De är D osynliga ovan ytan men finns ändå och befolkar havets landskap som är lika verkligt och påtagligt som världen ovan. En av dem suddar ut gränsen mellan djur och växt. En är änglalik men har en djävulsk insida. Många är färgsprakande med utskott som innehåller apte- rade nässelkapslar, vilka de får från de nässeldjur de äter. Pussar du någon av dem så svider det rejält på läpparna. En är stor, vit och mjuk med ett skal dolt av tjocka mantelflikar och kom- mer bara upp ur den mjuka bottenleran för att lägga en äggmassa som liknar finska marmeladkulor.

After the LGM, rocky shores ecosystem development along European coasts was influenced mainly by movement of the littoral species in the wake of receding ice, while rocky shores of Iceland and NE-America were most likely colonized from N- Europe. -
