Abstract

In this paper, we identify some sponge specimens collected in the Faro Lake in Sicily, and belonging to Haliclona (Halicoclona) by using morphological analysis accompanied by molecular analysis through amplification of several molecular markers (18S and 28S rRNA, CO1 and ITS).

The samples are identified as. H. (Halichoclona) vansoesti de Weerdt, de Kluijver & Gómez, 1999, a species native to the Caribbean, and therefore this is the first record of an alien species of the Demospongiae class (Porifera) from the Mediterranean Sea. This presence can be ascribed as results of global change (mainly global warming) that are affecting marine environment.

首个来自地中海的Demospongiae (Porifera)外来物种记录

本文采用形态分析和分子分析相结合的方法，通过扩增18S和28S rRNA、CO1和ITS分子标记，对西西里岛法鲁湖采集的部分海绵标本进行鉴定，确定其属海螺(halicocclona)。样品鉴定为。H. (Halichoclona) vansoesti de Weerdt, de Kluijver &;Gómez, 1999，一个原产于加勒比海的物种，因此这是第一个来自地中海的Demospongiae类(Porifera)外来物种的记录。这种存在可归因于影响海洋环境的全球变化(主要是全球变暖)的结果。

期刊介绍： The journal publishes papers on all functional and evolutionary aspects of genes, chromatin, chromosomes and (meta)genomes of marine (and freshwater) organisms. It deals with new genome-enabled insights into the broader framework of environmental science. Topics within the scope of this journal include: • Population genomics and ecology • Evolutionary and developmental genomics • Comparative genomics • Metagenomics • Environmental genomics • Systems biology More specific topics include: geographic and phylogenomic characterization of aquatic organisms, metabolic capacities and pathways of organisms and communities, biogeochemical cycles, genomics and integrative approaches applied to microbial ecology including (meta)transcriptomics and (meta)proteomics, tracking of infectious diseases, environmental stress, global climate change and ecosystem modelling.
