MEDITS Survey – Instruction Manual - Version 7 3 Preamble The MEDITS project started in 1994 within the cooperation between several research Institutes from the four Mediterranean member States of the European Union. The target was to conduct a common bottom trawl survey in the Mediterranean in which all the participants use the same gear, the same sampling protocol and the same methodology. A first manual with the major specifications was prepared at the start of the project. The manual was revised in 1995, following the 1994 survey, taking into account the methodological improvements acquired during the first survey. During the course of years, several improvements were made. A new version of the manual was issued each time it was felt necessary to make improvements to the previous protocol. In any case, each time the MEDITS co-ordination committee ensured that amendments did not disrupt the consistency of the series. The third version of this manual was edited in 1999, while the fourth one served as a manual for the surveys carried out between 2000 and 2006. The fifth version, although issued in 2007, included improvements adopted by the MEDITS group since 2005, and was the protocol followed from the 2005 until 2011 surveys. In 2012 the revision 6 was issued, which included substantial modifications to the MEDITS manual, though not affecting the main characteristics of the protocol regarding the sampling scheme, methods and gear. This new version included changes in the list of target species and faunistic categories, which were both expanded. In addition, the protocol for otolith and biological parameters sampling and measurements was included and the storage data formats were adjusted accordingly. The present version number 7, in continuity with the previous one, is amending or innovating some aspects, while incorporating more specific and standardised gear checks and proposing a common protocol for the voluntary collection of data on marine litters, in agreements with the requirements of the Marine Strategy Directive Framework (Directive 2008/56/EC). This version 7 is thus a revision of the 2012 MEDITS handbook, taking into consideration the evolution of the MEDITS survey within the Data Collection Framework. MEDITS Survey – Instruction Manual - Version 7 4 Co-ordination of the MEDITS program (2013) Co-ordination The MEDITS program is currently co-ordinated at international level by Maria Teresa Spedicato (COISPA Tecnologia&Ricerca, Italy).

  • Analisi Archeozoologica Della Fauna Proveniente Dallo Scavo Di Fonteblanda (Grosseto), 1993
    ANALISI ARCHEOZOOLOGICA DELLA FAUNA PROVENIENTE DALLO SCAVO DI FONTEBLANDA (GROSSETO), 1993 (Con la tav. XXIII f.t.) Lo scavo, condotto in più fasi e ubicato nell’area portuale di Talamone (GR), tra la località di Fonteblanda e quella di La Puntata1 ha restituito, durante la campagna del 1993, un buon numero di reperti osteologici animali, attribuibili, in base alla presenza e alla concomitanza di resti archeologici in prevalenza ceramici, al VI secolo a.C. Il materiale proviene, nella sua interezza, da una discarica, anch’essa scavata a più riprese, ed è stato suddiviso in due principali unità stratigrafiche: US 101 e US 103, le quali a loro volta presentano una diversificazione del materiale in base al loro ritrovamen­ to in relazione all’Ambiente XY, ovvero US 101 Ambiente XY e US 103 Ambiente XY. Tuttavia, nonostante l’accurata distinzione stratigrafica, per quanto concerne Io studio archeozoologico, i reperti possono essere tutti inquadrati nell’unico contesto della sud­ detta discarica trovata in prossimità di una strada che passava di fronte all’Ambiente XY e, su di essi, è stato possibile compiere uno studio globale, calcolando il numero minimo d’individui (NMI, cioè il più piccolo numero di individui necessario per contare tutti gli elementi scheletrici di una determinata specie, il quale annulla, in parte, gli effetti della frammentazione rendendo migliore la visione di insieme), l’altezza al garrese (solo per alcuni esemplari), l’analisi dell’età di morte (condotta in base all’usura dentaria e alla tipologia delle saldature delle estremità alle diafisi) e dei tagli di macellazione, scarnifi­ cazione e disarticolazione, chiaro simbolo di uso alimentare delle specie di macrofauna rinvenute* 2.

Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv, 69978, Israel 2The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History and National Research Center, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Received: 5 May 2015 / Accepted: 24 November 2015 / Published online: 30 December 2015 Handling editor: Vadim Panov Abstract Environmental factors, such as temperature and salinity, are known to influence distribution patterns and invasion success in ascidians. The solitary ascidian Microcosmus exasperatus Heller, 1878 has a wide global distribution and can be found in both tropical and sub-tropical waters. In the Mediterranean Sea, it is considered to be an invasive species introduced through the Suez Canal, with a restricted distribution in the eastern Mediterranean. Despite its global distribution, the environmental tolerances of this species are poorly known. We examined the effect of varying temperature and salinity on the survival of adult individuals of M. exasperatus in a laboratory setting to partially determine its environmental tolerance range. In addition, it’s global and local distribution as well as the seasonal abundance in ‘Akko Bay (northern Mediterranean coast of Israel) were examined. Field observations and laboratory experiments show that M. exasperatus is able to tolerate a temperature range of 12–30 ºC, and salinity of 37–45, but it survived poorly in salinity of 33–35 and temperatures > 32 ºC.

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.

  • Reconnaître Les Principaux Bivalves Fouisseurs Ou Foreurs Au Moyen De Leurs Siphons
    Reconnaître les principaux bivalves fouisseurs ou foreurs au moyen de leurs siphons. 56 espèces Clé de détermination des 20 taxons les plus gros Yves MÜLLER Yves Müller Mai 2016 Reconnaître les principaux bivalves fouisseurs ou foreurs au moyen de leurs siphons. Dans la quasi-totalité des ouvrages traitant des mollusques lamellibranches (ou mollusques bivalves), ce sont les coquilles qui sont décrites (la conchyologie) avec principalement la description des charnières pour la classification. Pour les parties molles (la malacologie) ce sont les branchies qui sont utilisées. Ce qui n’est pas très accessible au plongeur même photographe ! Selon Martoja (1995) 75 % des espèces de bivalves vivent dans les fonds meubles. Certaines espèces trahissent leur présence par leurs siphons qui affleurent à la surface du sédiment, mais il est difficile, au cours d’une plongée, d’identifier les bivalves enfouis dans le sédiment. D’autres espèces de bivalves vivent dans des substrats durs (bois, roche). Ils forent alors une loge dans ce substrat et en général seuls les siphons sont visibles. Le même problème se pose, à quelle espèce appartiennent les siphons ? Selon Bouchet et al. (1978 :92): « Les siphons constituent un moyen de détermination des bivalves aussi fiable que la coquille et la charnière ». Des auteurs anciens comme Deshayes (1844-1848), Forbes et Hanley (1850-1853), Jeffreys (1863, 1865) et Meyer & Möbius (1872) et quelques autres plus récents comme Owen (1953 ; 1959), Purchon (1955a, b), Holme (1959) et Amouroux (1980) ont décrit les siphons de plusieurs espèces. La plupart des espèces de bivalves mesurent entre un et plusieurs centimètres mais les siphons sont pour la plupart courts ou très fins et rétractiles au moindre danger, donc difficilement observables en plongée.
