Deep Coral Oases in the South Tyrrhenian Sea
A Mediterranean "roche du large" ecosystem, represented by four rocky shoals, located a few miles apart on a muddy bottom at 70-130 m depth in the gulf of St. Eufemia (Calabria, South Tyrrhenian Sea), was studied by means of Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) photo imaging. The shoals host highly diversified coral communities, mainly composed of arborescent colonies of gorgonians (Callogorgia vert...
متن کاملHigh Meiofaunal and Nematodes Diversity around Mesophotic Coral Oases in the Mediterranean Sea
Although the mesophotic zone of the Mediterranean Sea has been poorly investigated, there is an increasing awareness about its ecological importance for its biodiversity, as fish nursery and for the recruitment of shallow water species. Along with coastal rocky cliffs, isolated coralligenous concretions emerging from muddy bottoms are typical structures of the Mediterranean Sea mesophotic zone....
متن کاملTemperature shapes coral-algal symbiosis in the South China Sea
With the increase in sea surface temperature (SST), scleractinian corals are exposed to bleaching threats but may possess certain flexibilities in terms of their associations with symbiotic algae. Previous studies have shown a close symbiosis between coral the and Symbiodinium; however, the spatial variation of the symbiosis and the attribution underlying are not well understood. In the present...
متن کاملHigh to Intermediate Sulfidation, Shallow Marine, Sulfide Mineralisation in the South-eastern Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy
Semi-massive to massive sulfides with abundant late native sulfur were drilled in a shallowwater hydrothermal system in an island arc volcanic setting at the Palinuro volcanic complex in the Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy. Overall, 12.7 m of sulfide mineralisation were drilled in a sediment-filled depression at a water depth of 630 650 m using the lander-type Rockdrill I drill rig of the British Geologi...
متن کاملAlkaloids from the South China Sea Black Coral Antipathes dichotoma.
A new carbazole alkaloid, antipathine A (1), together with three known zoanthoxanthin alkaloids (2--4) was isolated from the EtOH/CH2Cl2 extracts of the South China Sea black coral Antipathes dichotoma. The structure of 1 was determined on the bases of extensive spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR data. Compounds 1 and 2 showed moderate cytotoxicity against human stomach carcinoma S...
