  • Polychaetes from the Coast of Northern Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean Sea), with Two New Records for the Mediterranean Sea
    Cah. Biol. Mar. (2005) 46 : 143-159 Polychaetes from the coast of northern Cyprus (eastern Mediterranean Sea), with two new records for the Mediterranean Sea Melih Ertan ÇINAR Ege University, Faculty of Fisheries, Department of Hydrobiology, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, Turkey Fax: +90-2323883685, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Faunistic analysis of polychaetes collected during two cruises performed along the northern Cyprus in May 1997 and June 1998 yielded a total of 384 species belonging to 45 families. Among them, two species, namely Oenone cf. fulgi- da (Savigny, 1818) and Notomastus mossambicus (Thomassin, 1970), were new to the Mediterranean fauna, 19 species new to the eastern Mediterranean fauna, 90 species new to the Levant fauna and 209 species new to the Cypriot fauna, bringing the total number of taxa known from Cyprus to 456 species. A total of 11 polychaete species, which were previously regar- ded as Lessepsian species, were encountered, of which 7 are being newly reported for the first time along the coast of Cyprus. Two species new to the Mediterranean Sea, which could also be Lessepsian species as they have Indo-Pacific dis- tributions, were re-described and discussed. Résumé : Annélides polychètes de la côte nord de Chypre (Méditérranée orientale), dont deux nouvelles espèces pour la Méditerranée. L’analyse faunistique d’annélides polychètes récoltées au cours de deux campagnes effectuées le long du lit- toral nord de Chypre en mai 1997 et juin 1998 a fourni 384 espèces appartenant à 45 familles. Deux espèces, Oenone cf. fulgida (Savigny, 1818) et Notomastus mossambicus (Thomassin, 1970), sont nouvellement signalées pour la faune de Méditerranée, et il en est de même de 19 espèces pour la faune de la Méditerranée orientale, de 90 espèces pour la faune Levantine et de 209 espèces pour la faune Chypriote, ce qui porte le nombre des espèces connues de Chypre à 456.

  • (Spain) in 1972, I Received My First Diving Mask at the Age of Six and Wanted to Study Marine Life Since Then
    Born in Madrid (Spain) in 1972, I received my first diving mask at the age of six and wanted to study marine life since then. I got a Ms.C. in Biological Sciences at the University of Murcia and in Marine Biology at the University of Pisa, a Master on marine environment management at the Italian National Council of Research (CNR) in Mazara del Vallo, and a Ph.D. on Animal Biology at the University of Palermo. I am permanent researcher at CNR-IAMC since 2012 and a research fellow at SZN Anton Dohrn since 2016. I am interested in the ecological effects and the socio-economic consequences of (spatially explicit) resource management. Research topics include habitat modification and fragmentation, restoration of habitat- forming species, trophic cascades, stock rebuilding, marine protected areas, fishery reserves, and marine spatial planning.

The traditionally recognized classes were Polychaeta, Oligochaeta and Hirudinea. The latter two are now viewed as the taxon Clitellata, since recognizing Hirudinea with class rank renders Oligochaeta paraphyletic. Polychaeta appears to contain Clitellata, and so may be synonymous with Annelida. Current consensus would place previously rec- ognized phyla such as Echiura, Pogonophora, Sipuncula and Vestimentifera as annelids, though relationships among these and the various other annelid lineages are still unresolved. Key words: Polychaeta, Oligochaeta, Clitellata, Echiura, Pogonophora, Vestimentifera, Sipuncula, phylogeny, review Introduction Annelida is a group commonly referred to as segmented worms, found worldwide in terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats. The first annelids were formally named by Linnaeus, including well-known forms such as the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris Linnaeus, 1758, the medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis Linnaeus, 1758, and the sea-mouse Aphrodite aculeata Linnaeus, 1758.

  • A Check-List of Polychaete Species from the Black
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 18, No.1: 10-48 (2012) REVIEW ARTICLE A check-list of polychaete species (Annelida: Polychaeta) from the Black Sea Güley Kurt Şahin1*, Melih Ertan Çınar2 1Department of Biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Sinop University, 57000, Sinop, TURKEY 2Department of Hydrobiology, Faculty of Fisheries, Ege University, 35100, Bornova- Izmir, TURKEY *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Polychaetes from the Black Sea were reviewed based on the available literature. Lists of the valid species, re-assigned species and dubious species (nomen dubium or indeterminable species) reported from the region are provided. The checklist comprises 238 valid species belonging to 45 families. Twenty three species belonging to 8 families were considered as nomen dubium or indeterminable. Fifty-one species reported from the Black Sea between 1868 and 2011 have been synonymised with other species. Among the Black Sea countries, the coast of Bulgaria is represented by the highest number of polychaete species (192 species), followed by the coasts of Ukrania (161 species) and Romania (115 species). The highest number of species (119 species) were found on sandy substratum, the lowest number of species (7 species) on sponges. Nine alien polychaete species (Hesionides arenaria, Streptosyllis varians, Glycera capitata, Nephtys ciliata, Polydora cornuta, Prionospio pulchra, Streblospio gynobranchiata, Capitellethus dispar and Ficopomatus enigmaticus) were reported from the Black Sea up to now. The most speciose families in the area were Syllidae (32 species), Spionidae (31 species), Phyllodocidae (16 species) and Nereididae (15 species). By presenting a complete overview of the species reported from the area, this work summarises our current knowledge about the diversity of the Black Sea polychaetes and provides a database for future studies.

Abstract: The present study describes polychaete assemblages on three shallow-water benthic habitats, Ulva rigida, Cytoseira barbata and Mytilus galloprovincialis, in relation to space and time from the Sinop Peninsula (Turkish Black Sea coast). A total of 55 polychaete species and 21493 individuals belonging to 16 families were identified. Among the species, eight are reported for the first time from the Black Sea and 29 species from the Turkish Black Sea coasts. The polychaete density in the area ranged from 500 ind.m-2 to 46775 ind.m-2 (both on M. galloprovincialis), the polychaete biomass from 3.97 g.m-2 (on U. rigida) to 72.01 g.m-2 (on M. galloprovincialis). The highest diversity index values were calculated on M. galloprovincialis. Among the biotopes, C. barbata had the highest mean polychaete density in all seasons, whereas M. galloprovincialis possessed the highest mean biomass value in all seasons except in spring. Analysis of similarity revealed that polychaete community structure significantly differed among biotopes, sites and seasons. Résumé : Assemblages de Polychètes des habitats benthiques côtiers le long de la péninsule de Sinop (Mer Noire, Turquie). La présente étude décrit dans l’espace et le temps les assemblages de polychètes de la péninsule de Sinop (côte turque de la Mer Noire) de trois habitats benthiques peu profonds, Ulva rigida, Cytoseira barbata et Mytilus galloprovincialis.
