Abstract

We report the first occurrence of Rugulopteryx okamurae in Alicante Bay, the northernmost location in the Iberian Mediterranean where this species was detected. Collected specimens were studied using a morphological and molecular approach. A rapid assessment survey was conducted to assess its presence and abundance in the nearest beach-cast and infralittoral areas. The highest abundance was found over dead P. oceanica matte, occupying an important extension in the bay. We found detached fragments of R. okamurae dispersed by local hydrodynamics, accumulating on some tourist beaches in the region. The potential suitability of the Mediterranean for its spread necessitates monitoring programs to study its variation over time and potential impacts on native biota.

阿利坎特湾入侵大藻okamurrugulopteryx的爆发及其在海洋波西多亚(Posidonia oceanica matte)上的定殖

我们报告了首次出现在阿利坎特湾，在伊比利亚地中海最北端的位置，该物种被发现。收集的标本采用形态学和分子方法进行研究。进行了一项快速评估调查，以评估其在最近的海滩和沿海地区的存在和数量。其中，死海参丰度最高，在湾内占有重要的延伸区。在该地区的一些旅游海滩上发现了因局部流体力学作用而分散的冈村r.s okamurae碎片。地中海对其传播的潜在适宜性需要监测项目来研究其随时间的变化以及对本地生物群的潜在影响。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
