  • Patterns of Spatial Variability of Mobile Macro-Invertebrate Assemblages Within a Posidonia Oceanica Meadow R
    Journal of Natural History, 2015 Vol. 49, Nos. 41–42, 2559–2581, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2015.1021872 Patterns of spatial variability of mobile macro-invertebrate assemblages within a Posidonia oceanica meadow R. Bedini*, M. Bedini, L. Bonechi and L. Piazzi Istituto di Biologia ed Ecologia Marina, Piombino, Italy (Received 22 April 2013; accepted 22 January 2015; first published online 10 April 2015) The study evaluated patterns of spatial variability of mobile macro-invertebrate assemblages associated with Posidonia oceanica leaves within a meadow at three different depths and three different coastal wave-exposures. A total of 171 taxa was found, among them two Nemertea, 65 Mollusca, 91 Arthropoda, eight Annelida and five Echinodermata. The total number of taxa per sample was higher in intermediate and deep stands than in shallow ones, while no significant differences among coastal wave-exposures were observed. Multivariate analyses detected significant differences in the structure of assemblages in relation to depth and coastal wave-exposure. Mollusca were more abundant in shallow stands, while Crustacea and Echinodermata increased in intermediate and deep stands. Moreover, patterns of spatial variability changed with depth: shallow and inter- mediate assemblages showed high small-scale (tens of metres apart) variability, while deep assemblages showed high variability at intermediate scale (hundreds of metres apart). Keywords: depth; mobile macro-invertebrates; orientation; Posidonia oceanica; spatial variability Introduction Natural systems may vary in space and time, following patterns of organismal distribution (Menge and Olson 1990; Schneider 1994). Moreover, the variability of natural assemblages is scale dependent (Underwood and Chapman 1996; Benedetti- Cecchi 2001; Terlizzi et al.

Paolo Giulio Albano Coordinatore Dottorato Relatore Prof.ssa Barbara Mantovani Prof. Francesco Zaccanti Co-relatore Prof. Bruno Sabelli Esame finale anno 2011 to Ilaria and Chiara, my daughters This PhD thesis is the completion of a long path from childhood amateur conchology to scientific research. Many people were involved in this journey, but key characters are three. Luca Marini, director of “Secche di Tor Paterno” Marine Protected Area, shared the project idea of field research on molluscs and trusted me in accomplishing the task. Without his active support in finding funds for the field activities this project would have not started. It is no exaggeration saying I would not have even thought of entering the PhD without him. Bruno Sabelli, my PhD advisor, is another person who trusted me above reasonable expectations. Witness of my childhood love for shells, he has become witness of my metamorphosis to a researcher. Last, but not least, Manuela, my wife, shared my objectives and supported me every single day despite the family challenges we had to face. Many more people helped profusely. I sincerely hope not to forget anyone. Marco Oliverio, Sabrina Macchioni, Letizia Argenti and Roberto Maltini were great SCUBA diving buddies during field activities. Betulla Morello, former researcher at ISMAR-CNR in Ancona, was my guide through the previously unexplored land of non-parametric multivariate statistics.

  • The Molluscan Assemblages Inhabiting the Leaves and Rhizomes of a Deep Water Posidonia Oceanica Settlement in the Central Tyrrhenian Sea
    SCIENTIA MARINA 76(4) December 2012, 721-732, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 doi: 10.3989/scimar.03396.02C The molluscan assemblages inhabiting the leaves and rhizomes of a deep water Posidonia oceanica settlement in the central Tyrrhenian Sea PAOLO G. ALBANO and BRUNO SABELLI Department of Experimental Evolutionary Biology, University of Bologna, Via Selmi, 3, 40126 Bologna, Italy. E-mail: [email protected] SUMMARY: The molluscan assemblages inhabiting the leaf and rhizome layers of Posidonia oceanica were studied in a deep water (–24/26 m) settlement of a highly heterogeneous substratum on an off-shore reef in the central Tyrrhenian Sea. This is one of the few works dealing with the rhizome layer and with Posidonia oceanica that has settled on hard substrata. The leaf assemblage only had a few species, less than other assemblages at a comparable depth in the same basin. This poorness may be due to the depth, but it may also be due to the high fragmentation of the meadow. However, the high percentage of carnivores is consistent with previous observations in deep water meadows. The rhizome assemblage is highly diverse both in terms of species and feeding guilds, which could be explained by the higher affinity for low light conditions of most molluscs and the greater habitat heterogeneity. The marked differences in the two taxocoenoses and the high diversification of the rhizome assemblage evidence that they should be included in studies on the potential diversity of Posidonia oceanica meadows. Failure to consider this layer seriously affects any evaluation of the biodiversity of this habitat, which is of great conservation interest.

ABSTRACT - The interplay between carbonate and siliciclastic sediment production in shallow marine environments may result in the development of mixed depositional systems showing a cyclical arrangement of sedimentary facies. The palaeoenvironmental record associated with these cyclical facies changes is not always univocally correlated with eustatic oscillations, suggesting that other forcing processes have played an additional role. The Castell’Arquato Basin (CAB: Pliocene-Pleistocene, Northern Apennines, Italy) offers the opportunity to integrate the study of small and large-scale stratigraphic architectures with that of shell beds in shelf to deep-water successions.

Thus new data allowed to enlarge its geographical distribution and the current taxonomical status of the species. Comparisons with shell and soft parts of similar congeners are made. In par- ticular, differences between Jujubinus seguenzae Ghisotti et Melone, 1975 and the main “morphs” of J. striatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Gastropoda Vetigastropoda Trochidae) will be un- derlined and the possibility that this last taxon would be better re-defined on the basis of the original materials is discussed.

  • Conservation and Management 113 CARLO NIKE BIANCHI · FRANCESCO CINELLI · GIULIO RELINI
    Conservation and management 113 CARLO NIKE BIANCHI · FRANCESCO CINELLI · GIULIO RELINI ■ Italian and international laws on protection All the species of Italian phanerogams growing in marine and/or brackish waters are considered deserving of protection as species and/or habitats, and are listed in international agreements and conventions. Unfortunately, in the Habitats Directive, adopted by Italy with the “Regulations implementing EEC Directive 92/43 relating to the conservation of natural Neptune grass flower and semi-natural habitats, as well as the wild flora and fauna, D.P.R. 357 of 08.09.1997 (G.U. 248 of 23.10.1997)”, the only marine phanerogam cited is Posidonia oceanica, and as a habitat (Annex I) and not as a species (Annexes II and IV). This is an enormous problem, because Directive 92/43 is the most important and cogent law for nature conservation as it is the only one with true sanctioning powers. The 1979 Berne Convention on wildlife and the natural environment in Europe was ratified by Italy in 1981 (Law 503 of 05/08/1981), but its Annexes regarding plants were only modified in 1996 (implemented by Italy in 1998) with the insertion of various species, including Cymodocea nodosa, Posidonia oceanica and Zostera marina. These were inserted in Annex 1, covering strictly protected plant species, for the conservation of which it is also necessary to protect the habitats in which they grow. It is the only convention, for the moment, in which C. nodosa is also considered as a species to be strictly protected. A fundamental contribution towards surmounting the shortcomings of the Habitats Directives in the marine environment is provided by the Barcelona Convention (1995), which contains various protocols, including the “Protocol related to specially protected areas and the biological diversity of the Mediterranean” (SPA/BIO).

Therefore, seamounts can only exist where there are sea beds more than one kilo- metre deep, or, which is one and the same thing, over 60%–62% of the land surface1. There are also thousands of smaller elevations that tend to be known as abyssal hills (when they are less than 500 metres) or mounds (between 500 and 1,000 metres). Whether in isolation or as part of extensive ranges, there are possibly more than 100,000 sea- mounts around the world2. At present, close to 30,000 of them have been identified, of which around 1,000 can be found in the Atlantic Ocean3, where in addition the largest range in the world can be found; the Mid–Atlantic Ridge, which stretches from Iceland to the Antarctic.

  • Supplement – December 2017 – Survey of the Literature on Recent
    A Malacological Journal ISSN 1565-1916 No. 36 - SUPPLEMENT DECEMBER 2017 2 SURVEY OF THE LITERATURE ON RECENT SHELLS FROM THE RED SEA (third enlarged and revised edition) L.J. van Gemert* Summary This literature survey lists approximately 3,050 references. Shells are being considered here as the shell bearing molluscs of the Gastropoda, Bivalvia and Scaphopoda. The area does not only comprise the Red Sea, but also the Gulf of Aden, Somalia and the Suez Canal, including the Lessepsian species in the Mediterranean Sea. Literature on fossils shells, particularly those from the Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene, is listed too. Introduction My interest in recent shells from the Red Sea dates from about 1996. Since then, I have been, now and then, trying to obtain information on this subject. Some years ago I decide to stop gathering data in a haphazard way and to do it more properly. This resulted in a first survey of approximately 1,420 and a second one of 2,025 references (van Gemert, 2010 & 2011). Since then, this survey has again been enlarged and revised and a number of errors have been corrected. It contains now approximately 3,050 references. Scope In principle every publication in which molluscs are reported to live or have lived in the Red Sea should be listed in the survey. This means that besides primary literature, i.e. articles in which researchers are reporting their finds for the first time, secondary and tertiary literature, i.e. reviews, monographs, books, etc are to be included too. These publications were written not only by a wide range of authors ranging from amateur shell collectors to professional malacologists but also people interested in the field of archaeology, geology, etc.
