“…Noteworthy is that although many euryhaline species from Tanaidacea are found in transitional habitats, most occur only temporarily in these environments, appearing unable to form stable populations there [65]. Furthermore, Ateş et al [66] reported that some species are particularly related to coarse grain size and low content of organic matter that were the conditions that distinguish C1.…”

The spatiotemporal variation in meiofaunal assemblages were investigated for the first time in the Cabras Lagoon, the largest transitional system in the Sardinian Island (W-Mediterranean Sea). Two main environmental (salinity and trophic) gradients highlighted a significant separation of the three study sites across the lagoon, which were consistent through time. The environmental variability and habitat heterogeneity of the Cabras Lagoon influenced the meiofauna. In particular, salinity and dissolved oxygen, primarily, shaped the meiofaunal assemblage structure at the seaward site which was significantly different from both the riverine and the organically enriched sites. On the other hand, the trophic components (e.g., organic matter, Chlorophyll-a, and phaeopigments) and the different degrees of confinement and saprobity among sites were the secondary factors contributing mostly to the separation between the latter two sites. The lack of significant differences in the temporal comparison of the meiofaunal assemblage structure along with the very low contribution of temperature to the meiofaunal ordination indicated that this assemblage was more affected by spatial rather than by temporal variation. This pattern was also supported by significant differences between the three sites in several univariate measures, including total number of individuals, number of taxa, Pielou’s evenness, and the ratio between nematodes and copepods. Thus, the present study corroborates the hypothesis that meiofaunal organisms are good indicators of the spatial heterogeneity in transitional waters (TWs) and could have a greater species richness than that expected. Indeed, the Cabras Lagoon overall showed one of the highest meiofaunal richness values found from both Mediterranean and European TWs.

“…e Dardanelles (Çanakkale Strait) as part of the Turk sh Stra ts, has served as a s gn f cant sampl ng area n other researches. When cons der ng the current knowledge, it can be observed that there are a number of ongoing investigations into the benthic invertebrate fauna of the strait (Çelik et al 2007;Palaz et al 2010;Ateş et al 2014). During the rst regional ROV observations referred to as the MARNAUT cruise onboard the French R/V L'Atalante around the deep-water coral sites in the Marmara Sea (Çınarcık Basin), Desmophyllum dianthus was discovered for the rst time between 900 and 1200 m (Taviani et al 2011).…”

Although marine research on anthozoans began at the end of the 1800s with some reports on the occurrence in Turkey, comprehensive knowledge about their biotic features remains limited. This study is the first detailed diversity assessment of scleractinian corals inhabiting the Turkish waters. The surveys conducted on rocky habitats between 2011 and 2014 around the Dardanelles and Marmara Sea provided the distributional data of nine corals, five of which
