TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that the parasite has probably dispersed regionally by surface currents, and that the disease expression seems to be closely related to temperatures above 13.5 °C and to a salinity range between 36.5–39.7 psu.

TL;DR: Multivariate analyses suggest that MBT and TBT were factors that most influenced macrozoobenthic abundance and biodiversity.

TL;DR: Sequence data from the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene was used to identify the Mediterranean individuals for the first time and to infer their origin, confirming that all the specimens collected in the Mediterranean belong to A. dactylomela and therefore have an Atlantic origin.

TL;DR: A collection of novel distributional records of 20 species belonging to 8 phyla (Chlorophyta, Rhodophyta and Cnidaria, Ctenophora, Annelida, Mollusca, Arthropoda and Chordata) from 11 Mediterranean countries is presented in this article.

TL;DR: This study represents the first report about the abundance of plastic debris and its relationship to contaminants and infauna in Augusta harbour and can provide useful information for national and international laws and directives.
