Abstract
During monitoring visits to the beaches of Fnideq, M'Diq, Cabo-Negro, and Martil, two jellyfish species along the Moroccan Northwest Mediterranean coast have been observed. Rhizostoma luteum (Quoy JRC, Gaimard JP. Observations zoologiques faites à bord de l'Astrolabe, en mai 1826, dans le Détroit de Gibraltar. Annales des Sciences Naturelles, 1827) was recorded at Fnideq in January 2014, and Cotylorhiza tuberculata (Macri S. Nuove osservazioni intorno la Storia naturale del polmone marino, 1778) was recorded between M'Diq and Cabonegro beach in August 2015. Although their occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea is less frequent compared to the outbreaks of Pelagia noctiluca (Forskål P. Descriptiones animalium, avium, amphibiorum, piscium, insectorum, vermium: quae in itinere orientali observavit. ex officina Mölleri; 1775), these findings represent the first documented records of Rhizostoma luteum and Cotylorhiza tuberculata in this region, contributing valuable insights to the existing knowledge of jellyfish distribution in the Mediterranean.
在对 Fnideq、M'Diq、Cabo-Negro 和 Martil 海滩进行监测访问期间,在摩洛哥西北地中海沿岸观察到两种水母。Rhizostoma luteum(Quoy JRC,Gaimard JP.Observations zoologiques faites à bord de l'Astrolabe, en mai 1826, dans le Détroit de Gibraltar.Annales des Sciences Naturelles, 1827)于 2014 年 1 月在 Fnideq 记录到,Cotylorhiza tuberculata(Macri S. Nuove osservazioni intorno la Storia naturale del polmone marino, 1778)于 2015 年 8 月在 M'Diq 和 Cabonegro 海滩之间记录到。虽然它们在地中海的出现频率低于Pelagia noctiluca(Forskål P. Descriptiones animalium, avium, amphibiorum, piscium, insectorum, vermium: quae in itinere orientali observavit. ex officina Mölleri;1775)的爆发频率,但这些发现代表了该地区对Rhizostoma luteum和Cotylorhiza tuberculata的首次记录,为现有的地中海水母分布知识提供了宝贵的见解。
期刊介绍:
The subject of the origin and early evolution of life is an inseparable part of the general discipline of Astrobiology. The journal Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres places special importance on the interconnection as well as the interdisciplinary nature of these fields, as is reflected in its subject coverage. While any scientific study which contributes to our understanding of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the Universe is suitable for inclusion in the journal, some examples of important areas of interest are: prebiotic chemistry and the nature of Earth''s early environment, self-replicating and self-organizing systems, the theory of the RNA world and of other possible precursor systems, and the problem of the origin of the genetic code. Early evolution of life - as revealed by such techniques as the elucidation of biochemical pathways, molecular phylogeny, the study of Precambrian sediments and fossils and of major innovations in microbial evolution - forms a second focus. As a larger and more general context for these areas, Astrobiology refers to the origin and evolution of life in a cosmic setting, and includes interstellar chemistry, planetary atmospheres and habitable zones, the organic chemistry of comets, meteorites, asteroids and other small bodies, biological adaptation to extreme environments, life detection and related areas. Experimental papers, theoretical articles and authorative literature reviews are all appropriate forms for submission to the journal. In the coming years, Astrobiology will play an even greater role in defining the journal''s coverage and keeping Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres well-placed in this growing interdisciplinary field.
