Abstract

Abstract Rocky tide pools are transition environments whose communities are affected by sudden temperature, salinity and nutrient fluctuations. Furthermore, these environments are exposed to multiple stressors and can be easily altered by human trampling. In particular, specific studies on rock pool heterobranchs communities are lacking for the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, the community of Heterobranchia (Mollusca: Gastropoda) living in an anthropized rock pools system in western Adriatic (Ancona, Italy) has been investigated and a first checklist of the sea slugs in this urbanized areas is provided. During the four months survey, a total of 452 specimens, belonging to 19 species and 12 families was recorded. Notable findings were the first record of Placida dendritica for the Conero Riviera, and the first records of Doto cervicenigra and Ercolania viridis for the western Adriatic Sea. Identification of trophic categories showed a diversified assemblage in terms of food sources mirroring a surprising species diversity. Moreover, we provide here the description of a peculiar behavior possibly used by sea slugs to cope with the stressful conditions within this semi-closed system.

Conero Riviera（亚得里亚海西部）岩石潮池中海蛞蝓（异鳃目）的多样性和行为

摘要落基潮池是一种过渡环境，其群落受到突然的温度、盐度和养分波动的影响。此外，这些环境暴露于多种压力源中，很容易被人类践踏而改变。特别是，缺乏对地中海岩石池异枝群落的具体研究。在这项研究中，对生活在亚得里亚海西部（意大利安科纳）人工岩石池系统中的异鳃目（软体动物：腹足目）群落进行了调查，并提供了该城市化地区海蛞蝓的第一份清单。在为期四个月的调查中，共记录了452个标本，隶属于12科19种。值得注意的发现是，在Conero Riviera地区首次记录到树枝状Placida dendrica，在亚得里亚海西部首次记录到Doto cercerenigra和Ercolania viridis。对营养类别的鉴定表明，在食物来源方面存在着多样化的组合，反映了令人惊讶的物种多样性。此外，我们在这里描述了海蛞蝓可能用来应对这个半封闭系统内的压力条件的一种特殊行为。

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.
