1. New alien Mediterranean biodiversity records (August 2022)Francesco Tiralongo, Okan Akyol, Sara A. A. Al-Mabruk, Pietro Battaglia, Damla Beton, Banu Bitls, John Joseph Borg, Marc Bouchoucha, Melih Ertan Çinar, Fabio Crocetta, Branko Dragičević, Jakov Dulčić, Athanasios Evangelopoulos, Julian Evans, Ana Fortič, Robin P. M. Gauff, Constantinos Georgiadis, Mehmet Gökoğlu, Daniele Grech, Tamar Guy-Haim, Mehmet Fatih Huseyinoglu, Domen Trkov, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: In this Collective Article on alien and cryptogenic diversity in the Mediterranean Sea we report a total of 19 species belonging to nine Phyla and coming from nine countries. Several of these records concern fish species, and of particular interest are the first records of: Terapon puta for Italian waters; Pteragopus trispilus from Malta; Plotosus lineatus from Cyprus; and the northernmost Mediterranean record of Lagocephalus sceleratus. The northernmost Mediterranean record was also reported for the sea urchin Diadema setosum. The portunid crab Thalamita poissonii was recorded for the first time in Libya. The copepod Pseudodiaptomus marinus was recorded for the first time in the Marmara Sea. The polychaete Branchiomma luctuosum was recorded for the first time from the Mediterranean coast of France. The alien anemone Diadumene lineata was recorded for the first time from Slovenia. The macroalgae Sargassum furcatum was recorded for the first time from Italy. The new Mediterranean records here reported help tracing abundance and distribution of alien and cryptic species in the Mediterranean Sea.
