    MALAKOLÓGIAI TÁJÉKOZTATÓ MALACOLOGICAL NEWSLETTER 2001 19: 95–101 Data to the malacofauna of Katavothres (Kefalinia, Greece) E. De Smit–K. Bába Abstract: The authors evaluated the samples collected by Marninus De Smit in 1999 at the collection site of Katavothres, on the isle of Kefalinia, Greece. Key-words: Katavothers, Greece, Marin mollusc fauna Material and methods Sample collections were carried out in a southern bay of the isle of Kefalinia, on the coast of Katavothres (09.06.1999.) For the determination of the order of families we used Poppe, G. T.–Gotto, Y. (1991–1993) Vol. I-II. For the identification of species we gave preference to the following publications: Nordsieik, F. (1968, 1969, 1972) Poppe, G. T.–Gotto, Y. (1991, 1993), D’ Angeló–Gargiullo, S. (1978) and also Ghisotti, F.–Melone, G. (1971, 1972, 1975) Results The collections yielded species from Scaphopoda, Lamellibranchiata and Gastropoda class- es. Altogether 7697 individuals belonging to 188 species were collected. (Scaphopoda: 1 family 1 species, Lamellibranchiata: 30 families 90 species 3811 specimen, Gastropoda: 42 families 188 species 7697 specimen). From the Bivalvia the Musculus laevigatus is a cir- cumpolar, the Hiatellidae: Hiatella arctica is a boreal circumpolar species. From the Gastropoda the Trochidae: Clanculus striatus, Phasianellidae: Tricolia miniata are known as belonging to the Southern Mediterranean. Most probably they spread due shipping. From most of the species encountered 1-40 individuals were found. More than 100 indi- viduals were collected from the species below: Jujubinus striatus, Gibbula philberti, Truncatella subcylindrica, Alvania consociella, Bittium latreilli, Bittium reticulatum, Cerithium alucaster, Gibberula miliaria, Granulina clandestina. Summary From the alluvial deposits on an island near Greece 11 508 individuals from 279 species of 72 families from 3 orders were encountered.

  • Biogeographical Homogeneity in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. II
    Vol. 19: 75–84, 2013 AQUATIC BIOLOGY Published online September 4 doi: 10.3354/ab00521 Aquat Biol Biogeographical homogeneity in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. II. Temporal variation in Lebanese bivalve biota Fabio Crocetta1,*, Ghazi Bitar2, Helmut Zibrowius3, Marco Oliverio4 1Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn, Villa Comunale, 80121, Napoli, Italy 2Department of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Sciences, Lebanese University, Hadath, Lebanon 3Le Corbusier 644, 280 Boulevard Michelet, 13008 Marseille, France 4Dipartimento di Biologia e Biotecnologie ‘Charles Darwin’, University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’, Viale dell’Università 32, 00185 Roma, Italy ABSTRACT: Lebanon (eastern Mediterranean Sea) is an area of particular biogeographic signifi- cance for studying the structure of eastern Mediterranean marine biodiversity and its recent changes. Based on literature records and original samples, we review here the knowledge of the Lebanese marine bivalve biota, tracing its changes during the last 170 yr. The updated checklist of bivalves of Lebanon yielded a total of 114 species (96 native and 18 alien taxa), accounting for ca. 26.5% of the known Mediterranean Bivalvia and thus representing a particularly poor fauna. Analysis of the 21 taxa historically described on Lebanese material only yielded 2 available names. Records of 24 species are new for the Lebanese fauna, and Lioberus ligneus is also a new record for the Mediterranean Sea. Comparisons between molluscan records by past (before 1950) and modern (after 1950) authors revealed temporal variations and qualitative modifications of the Lebanese bivalve fauna, mostly affected by the introduction of Erythraean species. The rate of recording of new alien species (evaluated in decades) revealed later first local arrivals (after 1900) than those observed for other eastern Mediterranean shores, while the peak in records in conjunc- tion with our samplings (1991 to 2010) emphasizes the need for increased field work to monitor their arrival and establishment.

Stagno d’Al - contres 31, 98166 Messina, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] 2Via Bologna, 18/A, 87032 Amantea, Cosenza, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT First quantitative data on mollusc assemblages from the Capo d’Armi cliff, at the south en - trance of the Strait of Messina, provided a baseline for monitoring changes in benthic biod- iversity of a crucial Mediterranean area, whose depletion might already be advanced. A total of 133 benthic taxa have been recorded, and their distribution evaluated according to depth and seasonality. Bathymetric distribution showed scanty differences between the 4-6 meters and 12-16 meters depth levels, sharing all the 22 most abundant species. Season markedly affected species composition, since 42 taxa were exclusively recorded in spring and 35 in autumn, contrary to 56 shared taxa. The occurrence of some uncommon taxa has also been discussed. The benthic mollusc assemblages, although sampled in Ionian Sea, showed a clear western species composition, in accordance with literature placing east of the Strait the bound- ary line between western and eastern Mediterranean eco-regions. Opposite, occasional records of six mesopelagic species, which included the first record for this area of Atlanta helicinoi - dea

  • Ground Beetle Communities (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Holm Oak-Forests (Quercus Ilex) and Their Degradation Stages on Mallorca (Iles Baleares, Spain)
    Ground beetle communities (Coleoptera, Carabidae) of Holm oak-forests (Quercus ilex) and their degradation stages on Mallorca (Iles Baleares, Spain) Raphael SCHULLER and Erik ARNDT Schuller, R. and Arndt, E. 2008. Ground beetle communities (Coleoptera, Carabidae) SHNB of Holm oak-forests (Quercus ilex) and their degradation stages on Mallorca (Iles Baleares, Spain). Boll. Soc. Hist. Nat. Balears, 51: 63-72. ISSN 0212-260X. Palma de Mallorca. Ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) were examined in the Serra de Tramuntana (Mallorca). These beetles serve as ecological indicators to describe effects of human impact in terrestrial habitats and are used in nature conservation. There were analysed holm oak (Quercus ilex) forest sites as well as garrigue sites in former oak forest SOCIETAT D’HISTÒRIA areas. A total of 17 Carabid species with 1810 individuals was recorded. One species, NATURAL DE LES BALEARS Pseudomasoreus canigoulensis, was found first time on the Balearic islands. The species numbers per site varied between 2-6 in forests and 5-10 in garrigues. Despite the lower species number, the forest sites had more individuals due to a large population density of Calosoma sycophanta, a specialized oak forest species. The ground beetle community changes clearly between forest and garrigue in the Serra de Tramuntana despite the fact that both habitat types are located in direct neighbourhood and that both habitat types are shared by many abundant species in other Mediterranean areas (e.g. Greek mountains). We must conclude that the decrease of forest area and forest fragmentation of Mallorca are connected with decrease and possible disappearing of typical (in part endemic) forest Carabidae which do not find secondary habitats in shrubland.

  • Riordino Deelle Unità Stratigrafiche Nel Pleistocene Inferiore
    Studi costieri - 2006 - 12: Il Quaternario della Toscana costiera Il Quaternario della Toscana costiera Giovanni Boschian 1 , Alessandro Bossio 2, Barbara Dall’Antonia 2, Renzo Mazzanti 3 1 - 2 - 3 - Riassunto Questo saggio presenta una rassegna delle conoscenze acquisite sul Quaternario della Toscana Costiera, a partire dal 1984, anno in cui fu pubblicata su questo tema la monografia di Mazzanti. Nello studio dell’Olocene ci siamo limitati alla situazione presente in Età Romana, non tanto perché considerata priva di interventi antropici, bensì in quanto la più vicina nel tempo ad uno stato del territorio non influenzato da questi ultimi. Particolare attenzione è stata posta alla precisazione dei riferimenti cronologici dei livelli delle successioni stratigrafiche marine, datati secondo i moderni criteri di biozonazione basata principalmente sulle associ- azioni a Foraminiferi planctonici ed a Nannoplancton calcareo. D’altra parte non è stato trascurato il richi- amo a fossili di altri gruppi sistematici e loro associazioni di particolare significato stratigrafico (cronologi- co e/o paleoambientale) sia per le successioni marine, sia per le continentali, né ovviamente sono state trascurate le informazioni offerte dalle determinazioni radiometriche di età. Per agevolare la lettura di questo complesso riassunto, consigliamo di consultare i riferimenti offerti nella Figura 4. Un primo ciclo sedimentario, presente solo nel Valdarno Inferiore e nel Bacino di Castiglioncello – S. Vincenzo, e datato al Santerniano-Emiliano è composto da sedimenti litoranei (Conglomerati di V.la Magrini, trasgressivi), da sedimenti di ambiente più profondo (Sabbie e argille ad Arctica islandica, for- mazione qui ridefinita come Fm di Morrona), datati al Santerniano e all’Emiliano, da sedimenti di ambi- ente nuovamente poco profondo (Sabbie di Nugola Vecchia nel Valdarno Inferiore e Calcari di Montescudaio nel Bacino di Castiglioncello – S.

    LES PEUPLEMENTS DES COLÉOPTÈRES DU MARAIS SALÉ DE L’embouCHURE DE LA TAFNA (ALGÉRIE) Samira BOUKLI HACENE 1, Karima HASSAINE 1 & Philippe PONEL 2 SUMMARY. — Coleopteran communities of the salt marsh at the mouth of the Tafna River (Algeria). — A study of Coleopteran communities was conducted between October 2009 and September 2010 in the salt marsh at the mouth of the Tafna River. Bimonthly trappings were carried out in five groups of vegetation and yielded 3833 specimens belonging to 140 species. This richness varies from one group to another (19 to 87 species). The high values are directly related to a shorter period of submersion, a lower salinity but also a greater floristic richness. Diversity indicators show that communities are diversified, regular and well structured with the exception of the samples from the lowest points where the highest salt concentrations are recorded. The highest richness and abundance are recorded mainly between early spring and early summer. Community composition is very different from one group to another ; the similarity index does not exceed 40 %. The spatial micro-distribution of grouping floristic species has been demonstrated through an ascend- ing hierarchical analysis. RÉSUMÉ. — Une étude des peuplements des Coléoptères a été réalisée entre octobre 2009 et septembre 2010 dans le marais salé de l’embouchure de la Tafna. Des piégeages bimensuels effectués dans cinq grou- pements de végétation ont fourni 3833 spécimens répartis en 140 espèces. Cette richesse spécifique varie d’un groupement à un autre (de 19 à 87 espèces). Les richesses élevées sont en relation directe avec une période de submersion moins longue, un taux de salinité moins élevé mais également une richesse floristi- que plus importante.

Lecce-Monteroni 73100 Lecce RESEARCH ARTICLE ITALY Abstract 1 - Lagoons are ecotones between freshwater, marine and terrestrial biotopes, characterized by internal ecosystem heterogeneity, due to patchy spatial and temporal distribution of biotic and abiotic components, and inter-ecosystem heterogeneity, due to the various terrestrial-freshwater and freshwater-marine interfaces. 2 - Here, we carried out an analysis of environmental heterogeneity and benthic macro-invertebrate guilds in a sample of 26 Italian lagoons based on literature produced over a 25 year period.. 3 - In all, 944 taxonomic units, belonging to 13 phyla, 106 orders and 343 families, were recorded. Most species had a very restricted geographic distribution range. 75% of the macroinvertebrate taxa were observed in less than three of the twenty-six lagoons considered. 4 - Similarity among macroinvertebrate guilds in lagoon ecosystems was remarkably low, ranging from 10.5%±7.5% to 34.2%±14.4% depending on the level of taxonomic resolution. 5 - Taxonomic heterogeneity was due to both differences in species richness and to differences in species composition: width of seaward outlet, lagoon surface area and water salinity were the most important factors affecting species richness, together accounting for up to 75% of observed inter-lagoon heterogeneity, while distance between lagoons was the most significant factor affecting similarity of species composition.

  • Data About the Molluscs of Adria
    Acta Biologica Szeged 13, (3—4), pp. 137—112 (1967) DATA ABOUT THE MOLLUSCS OF ADRIA A. HORVÁTH—K. BABA Institute for Systematic Zoology of the Attila József University Szeged and Institute for Zoology of the Teacher's Training College Szeged (Received October 31, 1967) The data presented in this paper were collected by K. Bába, according to the points of view of a previous discussion with A. Horváth, in August 1966. Our purpose was to study the qualitative and quantitative division of molluscs in the littoral biotopes. The collection has taken place in two ways. (A) Cenological collection, collecting every specimen in a square area of definite size. (B) Individual collection, collecting the molluscs found during perambulating a larger area. The results of these collections are made known one by one, as follows. The numbers, written after the Latin names of species, are meaning the number of the found specimens, after them it is indicated in brackets, as well, how many of them were juvenile specimens. Cenological collections Rocky bay, 1 km from the village Grljévac-Postrana, extension about 1—1.5 km. (1) August 16th. Muddy bottom in front of the camping ground, about 20 m from the coast, from a depth of 1—2 m, among algae Posi- donia oceanica L., on a surface of 1 sq.m. On the bottom there were Loripes lacteus (L.) 11 (8 juv.) and Gafrarium minimum (Mont.) 1. On the alga: Calliostoma zizyphinus (L.) 1. In some more square metres, examined for control, there were Loripes lacteus (L.) 3—7 and Cerithium vulgatum B r u g.

    NAT. CROAT. VOL. 15 No 3 109¿169 ZAGREB September 30, 2006 original scientific paper / izvorni znanstveni rad MARINE FAUNA OF MLJET NATIONAL PARK (ADRIATIC SEA, CROATIA). 5. MOLLUSCA: BIVALVIA TIHANA [ILETI] Croatian Malacological Society, Ratarska 61, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia (E-mail: [email protected]) [ileti}, T.: Marine fauna of Mljet National Park (Adriatic Sea, Croatia). 5. Mollusca: Bivalvia. Nat. Croat., Vol. 15, No. 3., 109–169, 2006, Zagreb. A 130 bivalve species from 38 families were recorded in the Mljet National Park during research carried out from 1995 to 2002. In situ observations and collections were realised by skin and SCUBA diving at 63 sites, to a maximum depth of 58 m. At 21 stations bivalves were collected by Van Veen grab, at six stations by trammel bottom sets and at one station outside the borders of the National Park by a commercial bottom trawl. For each species, the general distribution, depth range, habitat, ecological data and significant remarks are presented. Records published previously were reviewed and a bivalve check-list for the Mljet National Park with a total of 146 species belonging to 39 families was generated. Listed species account for about 70% of bivalves noted in the Adriatic Sea. Sixty-one species were recorded for the first time in the Mljet Island area. One juvenile individual of an Indo-Pacific species Semipallium coruscans coruscans (Hinds, 1845) was recorded for the first time in the Mediterranean. Some species rarely noted for the Adriatic Sea, and also rarely recorded at the stations surveyed were Nuculana pella, Palliolum striatum, Pseudamussium sulcatum, Limatula gwyni, Thyasira granulosa, Astarte sulcata, Venus casina, Globivenus effosa, Clausinella fasciata, Lajonkairia lajonkairii, Mysia undata, Thracia villosiuscula, Cardiomya costellata, Ennucula aegeensis, Barbatia clathrata, and Galeomma turtoni.
