Cenozoic Evolution of the North‐Eastern Mediterranean Basins

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The Eastern Mediterranean lies at the junction of the African, Arabian, and Eurasian plates, a region shaped by a long and complex tectonic history. While the Levant Basin in the southern sector has been extensively studied for hydrocarbon exploration, the northern domain offshore Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon remains less understood.

Phylogeography of the widely distributed John Dory (Zeus faber, Actinopterygii: Zeiformes) reaffirms the prevalence of at least two deeply divergent clades

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 1, Page 373-386, January 2026.
Abstract The John Dory Zeus faber is a commercially exploited demersal fish species with a known distribution ranging from the Northeast Atlantic to parts of the Indian and Pacific oceans. A previous genetic survey using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA barcodes suggested the presence of two geographically segregated taxonomic units within Z ...

On the Fallacy of Color Discrimination: The Rise and Fall of a Rare and Endemic Box Crab (Brachyura: Calappidae)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the major reservoirs of marine biodiversity and harbors an exceptionally high number of endemic species. Nevertheless, the taxonomic status of many of these endemics still requires confirmation through integrative, modern approaches.

Clastic vs. primary precipitated evaporites in the Messinian sicilian Basins [PDF]

, 2006
The Messinian stratigraphy of Sicily has a particular importance for the comprehension ofthe Messinian salinity crisis as its successions bear the greatest similarity with those of thedeep Mediterranean basins. Despite the large number of studies carried
