Black Coral Distribution in the Italian Seas: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antipatharian corals are important structural and complex members of benthic communities inhabiting the Italian seafloor. In this study, distribution black in Italy is reported mapped for first time. This review has permitted identification occurrences such vulnerable marine ecosystems along coasts a bathymetric range 42 m to 790 m. Black appear be most conspicuous widely distributed mesophotic zone (from around 60 300 depth), with major occurrence on rocky bottom shoals. also highlights that these suffer direct damage from anthropogenic impacts (fishing activity lost garbage). Finally, study provides evidence submarine sites associated probably represent only small portion their real distribution. finding urges need increase monitoring efforts support protection conservation pristine species assemblages.

متن کاملHypleurochilus bananensis (Poll, 1959) (Pisces, Blenniidae) in Italian seas: distribution, habitat preference and sexual dimorphism
Hypleurochilus bananensis is one of the rarest species of Blenniidae in the Mediterranean Sea. Only few records have been made in the whole Basin. Due to its rarity, H. bananensis is poorly studied and little is known about its biology. In this study, we provide additional data on this rare species. In particular, we describe its habitat, sexual dimorphism, presence and distribution with severa...

An {em Italian dominating function} on a digraph $D$ with vertex set $V(D)$ is defined as a function$fcolon V(D)to {0, 1, 2}$ such that every vertex $vin V(D)$ with $f(v)=0$ has at least two in-neighborsassigned 1 under $f$ or one in-neighbor $w$ with $f(w)=2$.
