Sex determination in teleost fishes exhibits remarkable evolutionary plasticity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive for many species of high economic importance. Herein, we provide the first genome-wide investigation of the genetic basis of sex determination in the European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), an ecologically and commercially vital clupeiform fish. Using low-pass whole-genome resequencing o...

This collective study presents information on fifteen (15) species recorded across five countries (Greece, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, and Türkiye) and four (4) ecoregions, ranging from the Alboran Sea to the Aegean Sea. The recorded species belong to three phyla: Mollusca (3 species), Arthropoda (3 species), and Chordata (9 species). Among mollusks, Martadoris mediterranea is reported for the first time in the Aegean Sea at two d...
