Pennate diatoms belonging to the genus Pseudo-nitzschia are important components of phytoplankton assemblages in aquatic environments. Among them, the bloom-forming species Pseudo-nitzschia calliantha and Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata are known as domoic acid producers, and are thus considered harmful for aquatic organisms and for human health. For these reasons, monitoring the abundance of such species, as well as identifying...

The TimeFISH database provides the first public time‐series dataset on reef fish assemblages in the southwestern Atlantic (SWA), comprising 15 years of data (2007–2022) based on standardized Underwater Visual Censuses (UVCs). The rocky reefs covered by our dataset are influenced by pronounced seasonal cycles of ocean temperatures with warm tropical waters from the Brazil Current in the summer (~27°C) and colder waters from the...

Morphological analysis, molecular characterization, and information on distribution and density of Anadara kagoshimensis (Tokunaga, 1906) specimens collected in the Adriatic Sea were here carried out as based on various material and data from five surveys conducted from 2010 to 2014, for a total of 329 bottom trawl hauls. The morphological and molecular analyses allowed to clarify the confused taxonomy regarding the biggest ar...
