The Collective Article ‘New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records’ of the Mediterranean Marine Science journal offers the means to publish biodiversity records in the Mediterranean Sea. The current article is divided in two parts, for records of alien and native species respectively. The new records of alien species include: the red alga Asparagopsis taxiformis (Crete and Lakonicos Gulf) (Greece); the red alga Grateloupia turutur...

Intra‐plate volcanism in western Europe shows statistically significant episodicity during the Quaternary period. By comparing the known ages for eruptions in France and Germany, which are compiled here, with a composite oxygen isotope record, we have investigated the link between this episodic volcanism and the climate record over the last two million years. We show that increased volcanism between 415–400 ka and 17–5 ka corr...

To analyse the role of thyroid hormones in development of the halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus , a cDNA library was constructed from mRNA isolated from metamorphosing halibut larvae and approximately 500 000 recombinants were screened using a probe derived from the thyroid hormone receptor (TR)‐α gene of the frog Xenopus laevis . A single positive clone was isolated and sequenced. It was found to contain the entire coding seq...
