“…Ammothella longioculata (Faraggiana, 1940) is endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. At least twelve studies are indicating the existence of the species in the region (Faraggiana, 1940;Stock, 1958;Krapp, 1973;Arnaud, 1987;Schüller, 1989;Chimenz et al, 1993;Munilla & Nieto, 1999;Vignoli et al, 2006;Kocak & Katagan, 2007;Krapp et al, 2008;Koçak, 2020).…”

Sampling studies on the Turkish Mediterranean coast revealed the presence of a species of Pycnogonida belonging to the genus Ammothella. This species is identified as A. longioculata (Faraggiana, 1940). This is herein reported for the first time from the Fethiye Bay and Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Therefore, the record further extends the known distribution of A. longioculata from the Aegean Sea to the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. A distribution map of the species in the Mediterranean Sea is provided, together with photographs of the species. This study is the only scientific report to date of the pycnogonids of the Fethiye Bay in Turkey.

A. longioculata, Fethiye Körfezi'nden ve Türkiye'nin Akdeniz Kıyılarından ilk kez bu çalışmada rapor edilmektedir. Bundan dolayı, bu kayıt, türün bilinen dağılımını Ege Denizi'nden Türkiye'nin Akdeniz kıyılarına kadar genişletmektedir. Türün Akdeniz'deki dağılımı ve fotoğrafları çalışmada verilmiştir. Bu çalışma, bugüne kadar Türkiye'de Fethiye Körfezi piknogonidleri üzerine yapılmış tek çalışmadır.

Seagrass Posidonia oceanica is an endemic and a keystone marine plant in the Mediterranean Sea. It has been a decline in the distribution of P. oceanica meadows by several anthropogenic pressures (i.e. pollution, marine transportation, intensive coastal use, overfishing by ground scanning methods, anchors, aquaculture activities, alien and invasive species, overgrazing, tourist activities). The aim of this study, to evaluate impact of a fish farm in a island (Kızkulesi Island, Dikili, İzmir) on the seagrass Posidonia oceanica meadow from the Aegean coasts of Türkiye. Sampling was made in 2014 September and 2023 October between 0 and 30 m depth by scuba diving. P. oceanica meadow has been completely lost in a decade in the research site.

This study presents the inventory of sea spiders (Pycnogonida) sampled during the Madibenthos Expedition in Martinique (West Indies). Species were discriminated leaning on morphological and molecular data. A total of 761 specimens are classified in 72 species, 16 genera and nine families. Thirteen new species are described: Ammothella dirbergi sp. nov., A. krappi sp. nov., Tanystylum boucheti sp. nov., T. ingrallis sp. nov., Ascorhynchus iguanarum sp. nov., Eurycyde kaiouti sp. nov., Nymphon dorlis sp. nov., N. ludovici sp. nov., N. martinicum sp. nov., N. timons sp. nov., Anoplodactylus madibenthos sp. nov., Pycnogonum cesairei sp. nov. and Rhynchothorax sidereus sp. nov. We describe a neotype for Anoplodactylus micros Bourdillon, 1955 from the type locality. Martinique now includes 79 species of sea spiders, mostly endemic to the Tropical Northwestern Atlantic, cosmopolitan or shared with the South America Atlantic coast. Some species are potentially introduced. However, our knowledge of the distribution of species found in Martinique is probably biased by the scarcity of diagnostic morphological characters. Also, nine potentially cryptic species (discriminated on genetic data alone), are identified, shedding light on the overlooked diversity of sea spiders in the Tropical Northwestern Atlantic. Therefore, we call for a more widespread use of barcoding in sea spiders.
