“…In the last few years a relatively large number of papers that describe new cirratulid species have been published (i.e. Chambers & Woodham 2003;Dean & Blake 2007, 2009, 2016Elías & Rivero 2008, 2009Çinar & Petersen 2011;Magalhaes & BaileyBrock 2013;Magalhães et al 2014;Blake 2015Blake , 2016Elias et al 2016;Lezzi et al 2016), evidencing that cirratulid diversity is as yet underestimated. In the Mediterranean Sea, new cirratulid species and genera have been described (Çinar & Petersen 2011;Lezzi et al 2016) and, until now, no Caulleriella endemisms were described in the basin.…”

Caulleriella mediterranea, a new species of polychaete (Annelida: Cirratulidae) from the central Mediterranean Sea

A new species belonging to the genus Caulleriella Chamberlin, 1919 (Polychaeta: Cirratulidae) is described from coastal soft bottom sediments off the northwest Italy coast in fine sand at around 8 m depth. Caulleriella mediterranea sp. nov. is characterized by a slightly biannulate elongate peristomium, bidentate hooks with main fang slightly curved, a long apical tooth, and a narrow wing on the convex side and absence of capillary chaetae in neuropodia. A comparison is made with specimens that fit with the congeneric species C. alata, probably confused in the past with C. mediterranea sp. nov. Morphological characters important for differentiation of these species are discussed. The description of C. mediterranea sp. nov. testifies to an increasing trend of knowledge on cirratulid diversity in the Mediterranean Sea, a family characterized by many species considered early indicators of organic enrichment http://www.zoobank.org/?lsid=urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:227C3794-DD91-4747-900F-9308E59C0D33 http://www.zoobank.org/?lsid=urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:0F35B814-A61D-4705-AEE0-E5A5D8C69B0C

“…Subsequently, it has been recorded several times as a NIS from other locations in the Mediterranean basin [81,160] although, other authors consider it as a native species [24,96]. A complete revision of the genus including an examination of the type-series of this species [161] suggests that records of K. dorsobranchialis out of the type locality are likely to belong to a number of new undescribed taxa.…”

This study provides an updated catalogue of non-indigenous species (NIS) of polychaetes reported from the continental coasts of the Iberian Peninsula based on the available literature. A list of 23 introduced species were regarded as established and other 11 were reported as casual, with 11 established and nine casual NIS in the Atlantic coast of the studied area and 14 established species and seven casual ones in the Mediterranean side. The most frequent way of transport was shipping (ballast water or hull fouling), which according to literature likely accounted for the introductions of 14 established species and for the presence of another casual one. To a much lesser extent aquaculture (three established and two casual species) and bait importation (one established species) were also recorded, but for a large number of species the translocation pathway was unknown. About 25% of the reported NIS originated in the Warm Western Atlantic region, followed by the Tropical Indo West-Pacific region (18%) and the Warm Eastern Atlantic (12%). In the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula, nearly all the reported NIS originated from warm or tropical regions, but less than half of the species recorded from the Atlantic side were native of these areas. The effects of these introductions in native marine fauna are largely unknown, except for one species (Ficopomatus enigmaticus) which was reported to cause serious environmental impacts. In other cases, the displacement of native species or economic damages are suspected.

“…We are aware that taxonomic and identification literature and faunal lists available for the Southern Ocean polychaete fauna are outdated and in need of an update. Some recent taxonomic studies targeting Southern Ocean polychaete taxa became available only after the morphological identification work for this study was completed and entered into the database (e.g López 2011; Schüller and Jirkov 2013;Blake 2015Blake , 2016. We have made our data and vouchers available for future study and revision in the light of these changes, which have no impact on the biodiversity comparisons in the results of this study.…”

Comparative marine biodiversity and depth zonation in the Southern Ocean: evidence from a new large polychaete dataset from Scotia and Amundsen seas

et al. 2017

Based on a dataset of 16,991 and 307 morphospecies of polychaete worms collected from 58 epibenthic sledge deployments across the Scotia and Amundsen Seas, we show that the structures of their shelf, deep-shelf and slope communities are composed of distinct polychaete assemblages spanning regions with Bhigh^, Bintermediate^, and Blow^biodi-versity. Depth has been identified as the main factor structuring the polychaete communities in both seas, countering the prevalent notion of extended eurybathy of the Southern Ocean benthos. From an evolutionary perspective, this strong dissimilarity between shelf and slope fauna could be interpreted as evidence for survival in shelf refugias, rather than migration into deeper waters during glacial maxima. The previously unsampled Amundsen Sea is shown to be diverse, harbouring a high level of taxonomic novelty, with many species new to science. The polychaete community of the inner shelf in the Amundsen Sea (Pine Island Bay) has also been shown to be of deep-sea character, likely due to intrusion of the Circumpolar Deep Water onto the shelf. In the Scotia Sea, our data support the notion of relatively high biodiversity of waters around the South Orkney Islands, South Georgia, and Shag Rocks (all recently established as Marine Protected Areas) and depressed diversity in the extreme environment of Southern Thule.
