Replicated samples were taken using a Box Core, sampling an area of 0.1 m2 at 31 stations along two depth transects, 500 and 1000 m. A total of 1229 individuals belonging to 4 classes and 28 species were collected. Two species (Akritogyra conspicua and Liostomia hansgei) are new records for the marine molluscan fauna of Turkey and four species (Benthonella tenella, Odostomia silesui, Syrnola minuta and Crenilabium exile) are new records for the molluscan fauna of the Sea of Marmara. A relatively richer fauna was determined at a depth of 500 m (25 species) compared to 1000 m (17 species).The most dominant species at 500 m and 1000 m depths were Crenilabium exile and Parthenina flexuosa, respectively. Number of species and number of individuals varied significantly only between depths, while number of individuals changed significantly among basins (ANOVA test). A significant difference in species assemblages between the Tekirdağ and the Central Basins was detected (ANOSIM test). Multivariate analysis showed that depth was the main factor influencing the molluscan assemblages in the area.

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.

  • TUBI (Turkish Benthic Index): a New Biotic Index for Assessing Impacts of Organic Pollution on Benthic Communities
    J. Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 21, No. 2: 135-168 (2015) RESEARCH ARTICLE TUBI (TUrkish Benthic Index): A new biotic index for assessing impacts of organic pollution on benthic communities Melih Ertan Çinar1*, Kerem Bakır1, Bilal Öztürk1, Tuncer Katağan1, Ertan Dağlı1, Şermin Açık2, Alper Doğan1, Banu Bitlis Bakır2 1 Department of Hydrobiology, Faculty of Fisheries, Ege University, 35100, Bornova, İzmir, TURKEY 2 Institute of Marine Sciences and Technology, Dokuz Eylül University, İnciraltı, 35340, İzmir, TURKEY *Corresponding autor: [email protected] Abstract A new biotic index, TUBI (TUrkish Benthic Index) is proposed here to assess the impacts of organic enrichments on benthic community structures. This new index has two metrics; the Shannon-Weiver’s diversity index (metric 1) and the relative abundance of ecological groups (metric 2). The ecological groups of species, which include five categories, were re-organized under three major categories here, namely, sensitive species (including GI and GII), tolerant species (GIII) and opportunistic species (GIV and GV). The metric 2 considers these groups with different weights and eliminates sensitive species in the calculation. Scores of TUBI vary between 0 and 5, and the benthic quality status increases with increasing TUBI scores. Benthic samples collected from Izmir Bay, and the Aegean and Levantine Seas were analyzed by using different biotic indices such as AMBI, M-AMBI, BENTIX, MEDOCC and TUBI, based on the national database for the ecological groups of benthic species. All biotic indices used, with some exceptions, discriminated poor and bad ecological status in the regions. The correlation analysis performed between the total organic carbon in sediment and total inorganic nitrogen in deep water, and biotic indices indicated that TUBI possessed the highest negative correlation values with these environmental variables, therefore better detecting the variability across a gradient of pollution-mediated impacts on benthic communities.

    Quaderno di Studi e Notizie di Storia Naturale della Romagna Quad. Studi Nat. Romagna, 26: 1-80 giugno 2008 ISSN 1123-6787 Cesare Tabanelli ASSOCIAZIONI DI PALEOCOMUNITÁ BATIALI A MOLLUSCHI BENTONICI NEL PLIOCENE DELLA ROMAGNA Metodologie ed indicazioni per nuove tematiche Riassunto L’autore analizza l’importanza che i fattori temperatura e batimetria hanno sulla distribuzione del bentos marino. Esamina poi i riferimenti bibliografici secondo i quali durante il Pliocene il Mare Mediterraneo era contrassegnato da una circolazione delle acque di tipo oceanico. Stando a questo modello erano presenti due corpi d’acqua aventi peculiarità termiche diverse: uno superiore di acque temperate calde (termosfera) ed uno inferiore di acque profonde fredde (psicrosfera). Conseguentemente essi dovevano essere separati da una zona di transizione (termoclino). Attualmente in Mediterraneo vige invece uno stato di omotermia calda. L’autore propone quindi di inquadrare le paleocomunità a molluschi bentonici relative al piano batiale, in tre diversi tipi di associazioni così denominate: - Associazione delle Paleocomunità soggette all’influenza della Termosfera (A.P.T.). - Associazione delle Paleocomunità soggette all’influenza della Psicrosfera (A.P.P.). - Associazione delle Paleocomunità Interposte (A.P.I.), ubicate nella zona del termoclino. Le prime due associazioni sono soprannominate “primarie” e le relative specie, sulla base dei dati riscontrati in campagna e desunti dalla bibliografia, vengono distinte in “esclusive” e “preferenziali”. Con il termine “abituali” sono state invece indicate quelle specie euriterme capaci di adattarsi sia sui fondali sottoposti all’influenza della termosfera che della psicrosfera. Questa suddivisione in categorie ha condotto alla realizzazione della tabella 1. Questa tiene conto solo delle specie ritrovate nei depositi profondi della successione romagnola e conseguentemente fa riferimento anche a dati inediti.

Infante de Henrique 7, Areias São João, P-8200 Albufeira, Portugal; email: [email protected] 4 Corresponding author Received 25 February 2017, revised version accepted 7 July 2018 In this final paper reviewing the Zanclean lower Pliocene assemblage of Le Pigeon Blanc, Loire-Atlantique department, France, which we consider the ‘type’ locality for Assemblage III of Van Dingenen et al. (2015), we cover the Conoidea and the Heterobranchia. Fifty-nine species are recorded, of which 14 are new: Asthenotoma lanceolata nov. sp., Aphanitoma marqueti nov. sp., Clathurella pierreaimei nov. sp., Clavatula helwerdae nov. sp., Haedropleura fratemcontii nov. sp., Bela falbalae nov. sp., Raphitoma georgesi nov. sp., Raphitoma landreauensis nov. sp., Raphitoma palumbina nov. sp., Raphitoma turtaudierei nov. sp., Raphitoma vercingetorixi nov. sp., Raphitoma pseudoconcinna nov. sp., Adelphotectonica bieleri nov. sp., and Ondina asterixi nov. sp. One new name is erected: Genota maximei nov. nom. is proposed for Pleurotoma insignis Millet, non Edwards, 1861. Actaeonidea achatina Sacco, 1896 is considered a junior subjective synonym of Rictaxis tornatus (Millet, 1854).

  • NEAT Mollusca
    NEAT (North East Atlantic Taxa): Scandinavian marine Mollusca Check-List compiled at TMBL (Tjärnö Marine Biological Laboratory) by: Hans G. Hansson 1994-02-02 / small revisions until February 1997, when it was published on Internet as a pdf file and then republished August 1998.. Citation suggested: Hansson, H.G. (Comp.), NEAT (North East Atlantic Taxa): Scandinavian marine Mollusca Check-List. Internet Ed., Aug. 1998. [http://www.tmbl.gu.se]. Denotations: (™) = Genotype @ = Associated to * = General note PHYLUM, CLASSIS, SUBCLASSIS, SUPERORDO, ORDO, SUBORDO, INFRAORDO, Superfamilia, Familia, Subfamilia, Genus & species N.B.: This is one of several preliminary check-lists, covering S Scandinavian marine animal (and partly marine protoctistan) taxa. Some financial support from (or via) NKMB (Nordiskt Kollegium för Marin Biologi), during the last years of the existence of this organization (until 1993), is thankfully acknowledged. The primary purpose of these checklists is to faciliate for everyone, trying to identify organisms from the area, to know which species that earlier have been encountered there, or in neighbouring areas. A secondary purpose is to faciliate for non-experts to put as correct names as possible on organisms, including names of authors and years of description. So far these checklists are very preliminary. Due to restricted access to literature there are (some known, and probably many unknown) omissions in the lists. Certainly also several errors may be found, especially regarding taxa like Plathelminthes and Nematoda, where the experience of the compiler is very rudimentary, or. e.g. Porifera, where, at least in certain families, taxonomic confusion seems to prevail. This is very much a small modernization of T.

  • Biodiversita' Ed Evoluzione
    Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna DOTTORATO DI RICERCA IN BIODIVERSITA’ ED EVOLUZIONE Ciclo XXIII Settore scientifico-disciplinare di afferenza: BIO/05 ZOOLOGIA MOLLUSCS OF THE MARINE PROTECTED AREA “SECCHE DI TOR PATERNO” Presentata da: Dott. 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.
