We revise the Miocene Epitoniidae of Central Paratethys Sea and summarize literature data for Eastern Sea. In total we trace 106 species level taxa which 54 are formally introduced as new species, six probably but discussed in open nomenclature 16 documented combinations. This results an enormous increase number known epitoniid documents a so far strongly underrated diversity this gastropod family The high is related to favorable conditions during Climate Optimum.

When a species is introduced in new location, it common for to establish itself when finds favorable conditions the receptor community with regard interspecific interactions native species. The azooxanthellate corals Tubastraea coccinea and tagusensis are invasive Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, Brazilian Southwest Atlantic. They successful competitors space, have multiple reproductive modes, high larval dispersion recruitment, but studies on food trophic relationships genus still scarce. In present study, we used isotopic values δ13C δ15N investigate rocky shore communities invaded by T. under different oceanographic anthropogenic contexts. Using metrics derived from values, show that lower degree diversity, characterized similar ecologies while abiotic factors seem contribute biotic resistance exposed invasion events. spp. occupy niche space occupied suspension feeders, sharing resources already consumed community, which makes invading food.
