  • Faunistic Assemblages of a Sublittoral Coarse Sand Habitat of the Northwestern Mediterranean
    Scientia Marina 75(1) March 2011, 189-196, Barcelona (Spain) ISSN: 0214-8358 doi: 10.3989/scimar.2011.75n1189 Faunistic assemblages of a sublittoral coarse sand habitat of the northwestern Mediterranean EVA PUBILL 1, PERE ABELLÓ 1, MONTSERRAT RAMÓN 2,1 and MARC BAETA 3 1 Institut de Ciències del Mar (CSIC), Passeig Marítim de la Barceloneta, 37-49, 08003 Barcelona, Spain.

SUMMARY: The sublittoral megabenthic assemblages of a northwestern Mediterranean coarse sandy beach exploited for the bivalve Callista chione were studied. The spatial and bathymetric variability of its distinctive faunal assemblages was characterised by quantitative sampling performed with a clam dredge. The taxa studied were Mollusca Bivalvia and Gastropoda, Crustacea Decapoda, Echinodermata and Pisces, which accounted for over 99% of the total biomass. Three well- differentiated species assemblages were identified: (1) assemblage MSS (Medium Sand Shallow) in medium sand (D50=0.37 mm) and shallow waters (mean depth =6.5 m), (2) assemblage CSS (Coarse Sand Shallow) in coarse sand (D50=0.62 mm) in shallow waters (mean depth =6.7 m), and (3) assemblage CSD (Coarse Sand Deep) in coarse sand (D50=0.64 mm) in deeper waters (mean depth =16.2 m). Assemblage MSS was characterised by the codominance of the bivalves Mactra stultorum and Acanthocardia tuberculata. C. chione was dominant in both density and biomass in assemblages CSS and CSD.

Abstract Detection of a population of Pseudosquillopsis cerisii (Roux, 1828) (Crustacea, Stomatopoda, Parasquillidae) in the northwestern Mediterranean. A population of the poorly–known stomatopod crustacean, Pseudosquillopsis cerisii, was detected in the NW Mediterranean Sea. To date, in Mediterranean waters, this species was only known from rare reports that were mainly based on the occurrence of single individuals. Analysis of the stomach contents of ��sh predators caught i n coastal trammel–net artisanal ��sheri es r evealed several i ndividuals of t his species on a sandy bottom with nearby Posidonia seagrass beds in an area within the vicinity of Vilanova i la Geltrú (Catalonia). This is the ��rst r eport of t he species fr o m I beri an Peninsula waters. Key words: Pseudosquillopsis cerisii , Biogeography, Mediterranean, Occurrence, Population, Record Resumen Detección de una población de Pseudosquillopsis cerisii (Roux, 1828) (Crustacea, Sto - matopoda, Parasquillidae) en el Mediterráneo noroccidental. Se ha detectado una población de Pseudosquillopsis cerisii , un crustáceo estomatópodo escasamente conocido en el Mediterráneo noroccidental. En aguas mediterráneas, esta especie era conocida hasta la fecha tan solo por unas cuantas citas principalmente de ejemplares aislados. El análisis del contenido gástrico de peces depredadores capturados utilizando trasmallos en pesca artesanal ha permitido la detección de varios individuos de esta especie en fondos de arena situados en aguas próximas a Vilanova i la Geltrú (Cataluña), en las cercanías de praderas de Posidonia .

This webtool is an integrated hub which allows the presentation and traceability of the agrofood products of project partners territories. Its function is mainfold: it is a showcase for the traditional products of Adriatic Countries, it has a section dedicated for the producers, it is a virtual place in which agrifood professionals and researchers can exchange information, ideas and updating on agrifood innovation and safety.” Itinerary 1 1st Day Description of the itinerary. Name of the place to visit: Visit Corfu Melissokoliki – Benitses Map Benitses village, a beautiful holiday tourist resort Benitses village is one of the original holiday resorts in Greece, a very old village, proud of its traditions. Perhaps one of the most famous seaside villages in the country due to the strange and strong attraction exerted to almost every visitor to Corfu that is difficult to describe in words. May be is the lush vegetation on the surrounding mountains, the notorious nightlife of the recent past, the beautiful history of the place, or the famous first guests and residents of the 50s..no one can say. Benitses from Koutsomaroula baySyvota at Greek mainland The original part lies in a beautiful location in the middle of a green valley that sweeps down to the sea and has kept its natural beauty intact despite the intense activity and large touristic development since mass tourism started in the 1960s.

  • THE DONOUSA MIRACLE a Scientist Bio-Interview with Prof
    THE DONOUSA MIRACLE A Scientist Bio-Interview with Prof. Leonidas A. Papakonstantinidis. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Leonidas_Papakonstantinidis https://researchleap.com/wp- content/uploads/2018/02/04_A_Social_Welfare_Economics_Proposal.edited.pdf Interviewer: Stephen I. Ternyik, Techno-Logos, Inc. (-1985) https://www.sociostudies.org/authors/ternyik_stephen_i/ Sudden mind changes seem to happen by a rapid transformation of the heart beat frequency. Such a deep psychological moment happened to you, when you visited Donousa island in 1979. You came as developmental and academic bureaucrat from the capital (Athens) and you were a bit over 30 years. What did strike you, the young careerist, so much, in that geo-meta-physical location? Yes, I came as a developmental and academic bureaucrat (Agricultural Bank of Greece, Direction of Studies and Planning) from the capital Athens to report on the small Cyclades-Aegean islands, and I started from Donousa. My turning point in the mind was a scene with the mute coachman driving the mule, as opposed to the limousine, which took us from Brussels airport to the building of the European Commission, called the Berlaymont. This was the period (1976-1979) of Greece’s accession to the EEC (now EU). The population of Donousa was fully isolated from what is called ‘quality of life’ or standard of living. I had no idea on how these people faced their day-to- day problems, especially those related to health. No electricity, no water, no infrastructure, no roads, no official port; it was a boat that brought guests to the island. It then literally clicked in me, and I refused my predetermined career, while all other bank direction members (27) became high profile academics or politicians.

  • Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Anostomidae)
    Neotropical Ichthyology, 4(1):27-44, 2006 Copyright © 2006 Sociedade Brasileira de Ictiologia Revision of the South American freshwater fish genus Laemolyta Cope, 1872 (Ostariophysi: Characiformes: Anostomidae) Kelly Cristina Mautari and Naércio Aquino Menezes The anostomid genus Laemolyta Cope, 1872, is redefined.Various morphological, especially osteological characters in addi- tion to the commonly utilized features of dentition proved useful for its characterization. A taxonomic revision of all species was made using meristics, morphometrics and color pattern. Five species are recognized: Laemolyta fernandezi Myers, 1950, from the río Orinoco (Venezuela) and the sub-basins Tocantins/Araguaia and Xingu, L. orinocensis (Steindachner, 1879), restricted to the río Orinoco, L. garmani (Borodin, 1931) and L. proxima (Garman, 1890), from the Amazon basin with the latter also occurring in the Essequibo River (Guiana), and L. taeniata (Kner, 1859), from the Amazon and Orinoco basins. Laemolyta garmani macra is considered a synonym of L. garmani, L. petiti a synonym of L. fernandezi, and L. nitens and L. varia synonyms of L. proxima. Lectotypes are designated herein for L. orinocencis and L. taeniata. O gênero Laemolyta Cope, 1872 da família Anostomidae é redefinido e além das características da dentição usualmente utilizadas, outros caracteres morfológicos, principalmente osteológicos, também se revelaram úteis para sua conceituação. Foi feita a revisão taxonômica de todas as espécies utilizando-se dados morfométricos, merísticos e padrão de colorido. Cinco espécies são reconhecidas: Laemolyta fernandezi Myers, 1950 do rio Orinoco (Venezuela) e rios Tocantins/Araguaia e Xingu, Laemolyta orinocensis (Steindachner, 1879) restrita ao rio Orenoco, L. garmani (Borodin, 1931) e Laemolyta proxima (Garman, 1890) da bacia Amazônica, esta última ocorrendo também no rio Essequibo (Guianas) e Laemolyta taeniata (Kner, 1859) da bacia Amazônica e rio Orenoco.

Apart from being the delight of collectors, the PMM started a new way of layout and publishing - followed today by many authors. Internet technology has allowed more than 50 experts worldwide to work on the collection that forms the base of the 4 PMM books. This expertise, together with modern means of identification has allowed a quality in determinations which is unique in books covering a geographical area. Our Volume 1 was published only 9 years ago: in 2008. Since that time “a lot” has changed. Finally, after almost two decades, the digital world has been embraced by the scientific community, and a new generation of young scientists appeared, well acquainted with text processors, internet communication and digital photographic skills. Museums all over the planet start putting the holotypes online – a still ongoing process – which saves taxonomists from huge confusion and “guessing” about how animals look like. Initiatives as Biodiversity Heritage Library made accessible huge libraries to many thousands of biologists who, without that, were not able to publish properly. The process of all these technological revolutions is ongoing and improves taxonomy and nomenclature in a way which is unprecedented.
