    The Fan Mussel Pinna nobilis on the Brink of Extinction in the Mediterranean
    (Elsevier, 2022) Katsanevakis, S.; Carella, F.; Çinar, M.E.; ?i?mek, H.; Jimenez, C.; Kersting, D.K.; Moreno, D.
    The fan mussel (or pen shell), Pinna nobilis, is an emblematic large bivalve, endemic to the Mediterranean Sea. Due to various anthropogenic impacts, its populations had substantially decreased the last century, which led to its strict protection by international and national legislative instruments since the 1990s. Since 2016, P. nobilis has been suffering from mass mortality due to a pathogen infection, which devastated its populations. Currently, the species has become locally extinct in most of its previous range and has therefore been flagged as Critically Endangered by IUCN’s Red List in 2019. Surviving populations persist only in a few scattered lagoons or enclosed bays and in the Sea of Marmara, which is still unaffected. Substantial efforts have been made since 2016 by the scientific community for the in situ and ex situ conservation of the species. Although, these have not yet proven fully successful, there has been substantial progress in efforts to breed the species in captivity and to understand the dynamics of the pandemic, as well as in disentangling the role of unaffected populations for potential recovery. The following years seem to be critical for the survival of the species. By further strengthening collective efforts there is still hope that the species can be saved from extinction. © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved

    Polychaetes (Annelida: Polychaeta) off Kıyıköy (Black Sea, Türkiye) with descriptions of three new species
    (Magnolia Press, 2023) Çinar, M.E.; Erdoğan-Dereli, D.
    The examination of benthic materials collected in September 2022 at six stations off Kıyıköy (south-west coast of the Black Sea, Türkiye) both on hard (three stations) and soft substrata (three stations) at depths ranging from 8 and 27 m revealed a total of 57 polychaete species belonging to 22 families. Among the species, the polynoid Malmgrenia polypapillata is a new record for the Black Sea fauna, and three species belonging to the Syllidae (Erinaceusyllis defneae n. sp.) and Terebellidae (Polycirrus karadenizicus n. sp. and P. rhombolabiatus n. sp.) are new to science. Algae dominated (Cystoseira cinita, Cladophora sp. and Phyllophora crispa) rocky substrata had 30 polychaete species and a maximum polychaete density of 7325 individuals/m2, while soft bottom substrata (fine sand and muddy sand with shell fragments) possessed 38 species and a maximum polychaete density of 3520 individuals/m2. The family Nereididae (31–76% of the total number of individuals), and the species Platynereis dumerilii and Polyphthalmus pictus dominated hard bottom stations, whereas the families Nephtyidae, Spionidae and Dorvilleidae, and the species Micronephthys longicornis, Protodorvillea kefersteini and Prionospio maciolekae were represented by high number of individuals at soft-bottom stations.
