The Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus, which is native to the western coast and listed among 100 most invasive alien species in Mediterranean Sea, attracting a great deal of interest because its rapid colonisation new areas, significant increase population, impacts it may have on ecosystems ecosystem services. Outside natural distribution range, was first found European coasts early 1900s introduced into Sea few decades later, probably through ballast water. Currently, almost entire Basin also expanding Black along north African Iberian coasts. Based systematic review C. sapidus occurrences, this study describes distribution, aggregation patterns, spatial structure Northwest Europe, adjacent waters series ecological indicators elaborated using GIS spatial–temporal statistics. main results highlight that waters, while northern population remains confined some areas. Furthermore, detection methods are analysed, finding traps nets frequently used methods, management suggestions provided.

Studies of non-indigenous species (NIS) often tend to focus on medium and large-sized taxa with potential for remarkable ecological and/or economic impact, whereas the early detection small invertebrates is delayed due taxonomic challenge, lack consistent, standardised monitoring efforts limited funding. This study represents first records marine amphipod Laticorophium baconi (Shoemaker, 1934) in Morocco, Tunisia, Corsica (France), Italy, Greece, Egypt, Saudi Arabia New Caledonia (France). Furthermore, it reports an expansion its known distribution Portugal (earliest northernmost record country Macaronesia), Spain Atlantic Mediterranean European waters), Australia (first Indian Ocean). Recreational boating commercial shipping, mainly through hull fouling secondarily ballast waters, are proposed as vectors introduction secondary spread L. baconi. The following traits, analysed during present study, could contribute invasive potential: (i) quick extensive worldwide, (ii) high densities marinas, harbours, other artificial habitats, including aquaculture facilities floating debris, (iii) ability short-term colonisation empty niches, (iv) diet based detritus suggesting opportunistic feeding behaviour, (v) population survival seasonal fluctuations different regions. Taxonomic expertise scientific collaboration, multidisciplinary networks experts, crucial detection, updates, risk assessment overlooked stowaways environments.

The Greek Seas are greatly exposed to the proliferation of marine alien species. At least 242 species have been reported within territorial waters, three-quarters which considered established, while their rate introduction is increasing. Some these exhibit high invasiveness, imposing severe impacts on native ecosystems and ecosystem services. spatiotemporal outside natural boundaries depends several parameters, including biological characteristics, distribution range, pathway, time initial introduction. Knowing current potential essential for implementation effective management actions. To investigate impactful cryptogenic (ICAS) in Seas, we combined all records available until end 2020 from eight types data sources: (1) scientific literature, (2) grey (3) offline databases, (4) online (5) personal observations independent researchers, (6) communications with divers diving centers, (7) situ underwater sampling, (8) social networks. results 5478 georeferenced refer 60 ICAS belonging 16 taxonomic groups. number overall present an increasing trend northern southern parts our study area, there a clear distinction community composition between subregions. This latitudinal gradient mainly due large thermophilous Lessepsian West Indo-Pacific origin, reach area through unaided dispersal. On other hand, transport stowaways appear be more prevalent areas located near ports, show significant differences numbers compared sites far ports. Most (>40% total) were associated rocky reefs, partly reflecting preference this habitat type but also presence conspicuous, reef-associated fish. published records, as well ICAS, shows dramatic increase time, highlighting urgent need immediate proactive actions scientifically informed control measures.

The invasion history of the gastropod mollusk Bursatella leachii in Mediterranean Sea demonstrates a dynamic progression through distinct phases, comprising arrival, establishment, and expansion phases. Initial records 1930s trace its entry Suez Canal, likely followed by larval transport to Aegean facilitated natural currents. subsequent spread Maltese Italian waters suggests secondary dispersion favored maritime traffic or aquaculture activities. establishment phase shows significant increase occurrences spatial dispersion, with aggregated nuclei central Mediterranean. was characterized rapid dispersal intensified densities, particularly Aegean, Adriatic, Spanish coasts. These findings underscore species’ capability invade from multiple fronts, driven both human-mediated processes. A new location Strait Sicily, i.e., island Lampedusa, is reported present paper for species. Given low number observations, viable population on not confirmed, although detection validates Straits Sicily as key area intense settlement

The worldwide decline of macroalgal forests is raising major concerns for the potentially negative consequences on biodiversity and ecosystem functions, pushing definition specific conservation restoration measures. Protecting restoring these habitats requires detailed information their distribution, ecological status, drivers decline. Here, we provide most updated available distribution Mediterranean Cystoseira s.l. by conducting a comprehensive bibliographic survey literature published from 2009 to 2021, complemented unpublished data. We also insights into status stressors affecting them across basin. Our results show that coasts remain un(der)studied concentrated in spatially limited coastal areas, restricted very few species. When reported, data highly heterogeneous, making any comparisons problematic, what claims description use easy standardized monitoring methods comparative purposes. Drivers forest have been even less investigated and, therefore, still poorly characterized. highlight our current knowledge insufficient implement effective strategies at basin scale but regionally. call urgent need mapping obtain baseline future management involving conservation, mitigation threatening degraded forests.

The Mediterranean Sea is a biodiversity hotspot, being home to vast array of marine species. Furthermore, seawater warming facilitating the arrival and spread new thermophilic species, posing severe threat biodiversity. Among species currently extending their range increasing in abundance waters, sea chubs (genus Kyphosus ) are one most enigmatic. One challenge arises from high phenotypic similarity between two congeneric documented basin: vaigiensis sectatrix . Their resemblance has often led identification challenges, resulting incorrect or omitted species-level classifications. Therefore, despite growing presence these fish Mediterranean, it remains unclear whether only both experiencing demographic increase extension. To date, there have been 26 reports individuals Sea, 24 separate papers. Here, we reviewed history genus basin provided 13 records multiple localities along coasts. In addition, sequenced entire mitogenomes specimens, assessed phylogenetic relationships with published mitochondrial DNAs around world, conducted detailed morphological meristic analyses on them, allowing us provide accurate identifications. Our results indicate that K. expanding its while still very rare sporadically reported. Notably, our mitogenome data likely came Atlantic no evidence support an entrance through Red any other anthropogenic vector. Finally, potential ecological fishing impacts associated proliferation region discussed.
