“…The present results indicate the Alboran sample as phenotypically intermediate between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean populations. This is exactly what has been postulated by Reuschel and Schubart (2006) concerning the morphological separation of Xantho hydrophilus. The authors suggested that population of this species from Ibiza (Spain) represents a transitional phenotypic form between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea.…”

“…These barriers created environmental discreteness between different regions and accentuated the genetic and morphological divergence between marine species, especially species with direct intra-capsular development (i.e., lacking a planktonic larval stage) such as H. trunculus. Literature data often rule out the Gibraltar strait as a zone of genetic and morphological discontinuity between Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea (e.g., Sanjuan et al, 1994;Quesada et al, 1995;Naciri et al, 1999;Silva 2003;Duran et al, 2004;Reuschel and Schubart 2006). Atlantic samples from Portugal (Algarve) and Morocco (Assilah) were similar to each other for morphometric characters.…”

Morphological studies of species with wide distribution range and high commercial value, such as the banded murex Hexaplex trunculus (Linnaeus, 1758), provide information on stock structure, which is the basis for understanding fish population dynamics and enable resource assessment for fisheries management. In the present study, we examined morphological variation among Atlantic and Mediterranean populations of H. trunculus using multivariate analysis. Our results supported the existence of four distinguishable stocks (Atlantic, Alboran, Western Mediterranean and Eastern Mediterranean), correctly classified 71.7% of specimens, and indicated significant degrees of variation in morphometric characteristics between regions. Examination of the contribution of each morphometric variable to the principal components and canonical functions indicated that differences among samples seemed to be associated with the shell and aperture length and width. Samples from the Atlantic Ocean and the Alboran Sea had the largest shell size and the greatest morphometric divergence. This strong morphometric differentiation appears to be associated with local environmental factors (exposure on the rocky shores, food availability and predation) and oceanographic current barriers.

“…Afterwards, Kocataş (1971Kocataş ( , 1981a reported X. granulicarpus from the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. Reuschel and Schubart (2006) revised the Xantho species in the Mediterranean and concluded that only X. hydrophilus (Herbst, 1790), X. poressa, and X. pilipes occurred in the Mediterranean Sea. They also indicated that X. incisus Leach, 1814 is a junior synonym of X. hydrophilus and that the taxonomic status of X. hydrophilus granulicarpus, which was described by Forest (in Drach and Forest 1953), is doubtful.…”

This recent checklist of marine arthropods found on the coasts of Turkey represents a total of 1531 species belonging to\ud 7 classes: Malacostraca (766 species), Maxillopoda (437 species), Ostracoda (263 species), Pycnogonida (27 species), Arachnida (26\ud species), Branchiopoda (7 species), and Insecta (5 species). Seventy-five species were classified as alien species in the region. This paper\ud also includes the first record of the amphipod\ud Melita valesi\ud from the Levantine coast of Turkey (Ka?, Gulf of Antalya)

“…De Grave et al (2009) have also listed all known suprageneric taxa of decapod crustaceans, with estimates on the number of valid species within each group. There is a concerted effort by carcinologists worldwide to check the validity of taxa using multiple tools such as ecological characterization, larval morphology and molecular techniques (Schubart et al 2001, Reuschel and Schubart 2006, MarcoHerrero et al 2013a.…”

Summary: Almost 50 years have passed since a group of reputed carcinologists (viz. Lipke B. Holthuis, Isabella Gordon and Jacques Forest) finished the posthumous work of Ricardo Zariquiey Álvarez (1968) on decapod crustaceans of the Iberian Peninsula. No lists of decapod fauna specifically covering this area have been published since then, and an update is needed. The current list of brachyuran crabs of the Iberian Peninsula comprises 140 species, which is 35 species more than the 105 valid species listed in Zariquiey Álvarez (1968). Systematic changes have affected the original classification, so now there are 20 superfamilies, 36 families and 77 genera. Additional species have been recorded in Iberian waters due to natural range expansions from nearby areas (Mediterranean and Atlantic), introductions by anthropogenic activities, and description of new taxa. Also, two species were synonymized. Several of these changes, based on evidence from larval morphology and/ or molecular data, are detailed in this review. Although descriptions of crab species new to science are not expected to occur at a significant rate, an increase in the number of species in the Iberian Peninsula is expected to result from the introduction of alien species.Keywords: checklist; Brachyura; Crustacea; Decapoda; crab; Iberian Peninsula. Lista comentada de los cangrejos braquiuros (Crustacea: Decapoda) de la península Ibérica (SO Europa)Resumen: Han pasado casi 50 años desde que un grupo de reputados carcinólogos (viz. Lipke B. Holthuis, Isabella Gordon y Jacques Forest) finalizaran la obra póstuma de Ricardo Zariquiey Álvarez (1968), "Crustáceos decápodos de la Península Ibérica". Desde entonces no se ha publicado una lista de la fauna de decápodos que cubra específicamente este área, y era necesaria una actualización. La lista actual de braquiuros de la Península Ibérica consta de un total de 140 especies, 35 especies más de las 105 especies válidas enumeradas en Zariquiey Álvarez (1968). Los cambios en la sistemática han afectado la clasificación original, por lo que ahora hay 20 superfamilias, 36 familias y 77 géneros. Otras especies han sido citadas en aguas ibéricas debido a expansiones naturales de su rango de distribución desde áreas cercanas (Mediterráneo y Atlántico), a las introducciones mediadas por las actividades antropogénicas y a la descripción de nuevas especies. Además, se han sinonimizado dos especies. Varios de estos cambios, basados en evidencias de la morfología de las larvas y/o datos moleculares, se detallan en esta revisión. Aunque no se espera que las descripciones de nuevas especies de cangrejos para la ciencia se produzcan a un ritmo significativo, si es esperable un incremento en el número de especies en la Península Ibérica como resultado de la introducción de especies exóticas.
