Not All Aliens Come to Harm (Maybe): Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814) Population and Habitat From a Coastal Lagoon (Central Mediterranean Sea)

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pinctada radiata, Leach, 1814, is considered the first Indo‐Pacific bivalve introduced in the Mediterranean Sea after the Suez Canal opening and it is now reckoned among the 100 most invasive species within the basin. It is important to assess and describe its established populations in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems to understand the ...

First Record of the Alien and Invasive Polychaete Laonome triangularis Hutchings & Murray, 1984 (Annelida, Sabellidae) in Italian Waters

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
In recent years, the introduction of alien and invasive marine species in the Mediterranean Sea has rapidly increased. Laonome triangularis is a sabellid worm, native to the Australian coasts.

Assessing the ecological and aesthetic effectiveness of restoration interventions on coralligenous reefs

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Although tools for actively restoring marine habitats have advanced considerably, the capacity and timeframes for ecosystem recovery remain uncertain. Time and funding constraints, and lacking metrics to quantify the recovery process, represent the primary obstacles to evaluating restoration success.

A micro‐CT approach to the anatomy of Pectinariidae Quatrefages, 1866 (Annelida)

open access: yesActa Zoologica, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 463-484, October 2025.
Abstract The Micro‐computed X‐ray tomography (micro‐CT) technique is used to examine the external and internal anatomy of four species of Pectinariidae (Annelida: Terebellida): Amphictene auricoma, Cistenides granulata, Cistenides hyperborea and Lagis sp., from material collected off Iceland and NW Spain.

Combined morphological and molecular data unveils relationships of Pseudobranchiomma (Sabellidae, Annelida) and reveals higher diversity of this intriguing group of fan worms in Australia, including potentially introduced species

open access: yesZooKeys, 2016
Pseudobranchiomma (Sabellidae, Annelida) is a small and heterogeneous group of fan worms found in shallow marine environments and is generally associated with hard substrates. The delineation and composition of this genus is problematic since it has been

A dataset of individual wet weights of benthic macroinvertebrates

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 9, Issue 6, Page 696-715, December 2024.
Abstract Biomass estimates are crucial for modeling and understanding energy flow through ecosystems. Many modeling frameworks rely on published body weights of organisms to convert density estimates to biomass. However, published body weight data are limited to few taxa in a limited number of systems. Here we present mean individual weights for common

Modelling spatial distributions of biogenic habitat‐forming taxa to inform marine spatial planning

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Biogenic habitats are foundational habitats for species assemblages and drive a range of ecosystem functions. The Hauraki Gulf/Tiikapa Moana is the most intensively used coastal area in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and decades of commercial fishing, sedimentation and industrialization have degraded biogenic habitats in the Gulf.

Ocean deoxygenation caused non‐linear responses in the structure and functioning of benthic ecosystems

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 1, January 2024.
Over the past decades, there has been a gradual decline in global ocean oxygen concentrations due to climate change (ocean warming) and human activities (eutrophication). How this long‐term deoxygenation affects the macrobenthic communities and sediment biogeochemistry remain elusive.

Preliminary evidences of circadian fan activity rhythm in Sabella spallanzanii (Gmelin, 1791) (Polychaeta: Sabellidae)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2006
The fan activity rhythm of Sabella spallanzanii (Gmelin, 1791) and its entrainment capability to light were studied. Animals were tested under constant darkness (DD) followed by two consecutive 24 h light-darkness regimes: a first 11 h light ...
