    Description: En el inhóspito, Agreste y poco conocido Pacífico colombiano, se destaca un lugar especial por haberse constituido en el transcurso de las últimas dos décadas en epicentro de la investigación en biodiversidad marina: Isla Gorgona. Su condición insular y de Parque Nacional Natural hacen de ella, aunque poco accesible, un escenario ideal para la observación contemplativa y minuciosa de las muchas expresiones que la naturaleza ha sabido reunir allí, tanto en tierra como en las aguas que la circundan. Es lugar de paso obligado para grandes cetáceos y aves migratorias, posee formaciones coralinas que albergan una característica diversidad de peces e invertebrados, además de playas, acantilados, fondos de arena de roca que propician la coexistencia de variadas y contrastantes comunidades bióticas que han cautivado la atención de biólogos y estudiantes, lo que le ha valido el calificativo de "isla ciencia". Este libro da a conocer sus atributos naturales.

    Description: During the preparation of the accounts of Artabotrys (Annonaceae) and Magnolia (Magnoliaceae) for the Flora of Singapore, the types of all relevant names were evaluated. New lectotypes are designated for A. suaveolens and M. maingayi and a second-step lectotypification is performed for M. elegans. The citation of a lectotype locality is corrected for A. costatus and the citation of an isolectotype is improved for A. maingayi. We also clarify the previous use of the term ‘type’ to designate specimens that are in fact lectotypes for several names in Magnolia.

    Description: Le présent travail porte sur l’étude systématique et écologique du benthos dans les principaux étages bathymétriques du golfe de Tunis par le biais de plusieurs approches, dans le but d’établir l’état écologique du milieu. Il s’agit des paramètres de biodiversité, des faciès bionomiques, des interactions biotiques et abiotiques et des indices biotiques basés sur les groupes trophiques et les groupes écologiques. Cette étude a permis dans un premier temps d’enrichir la liste des invertébrés benthiques inventoriés dans le golfe de Tunis. Il s’agit de 4 espèces de Bryozoaires nouvelles pour la science (Trematooecia ligulata Ayari et Taylor, 2008, Herentia baptooecium sp. nov., Herentia orthosa sp. nov. et Cellepora sinusa sp. nov) et de 70 espèces nouvelles pour la Tunisie dont 24 Polychètes, 24 Bryozoaires, 7 Cnidaires et 5 Amphipodes. De plus, la description des faciès bionomiques a permis de préciser les limites des étages, mais également de tirer des renseignements scientifiques intéressants. Ainsi, au centre du golfe, l’étage bathyal supérieur commence à -120 m, après une légère déclivité du plateau continental à environ -100 m. La zone qui s’étend du nord de Ras El Fartas vers le large en passant par l’ouest de l’île de Zembra, est occupée par un herbier de Posidonies à -21 m et suivie d’un détritique côtier caractérisant la limite supérieure du circalittoral puis d’un détritique du large dont les caractéristiques témoignent de la régression du circalittoral. Au niveau de la troisième zone et en face de Sidi Daoued et de Ras El Ahmar, l’herbier de Posidonies se situe entre -22 et -38 m de profondeur. Ensuite, des faciès de sédiments meubles et de maërl en bon état se succèdent. A environ -67 m de profondeur, apparaît le rebord du plateau continental, suivi à -130 m, par l’étage bathyal supérieur vaseux. Au niveau de la quatrième zone, en face de Ras Gammarth, des tâches de Posidonies et de Cymodocées sont suivies d’un détritique côtier à -79 m, puis de la déclivité du plateau continental marquant le passage du circalittoral inférieur à l’étage bathyal supérieur caractérisé jusqu’ à -137 m par une vase appauvrie. Au niveau de la zone ouest, nous enregistrons un envasement en face de la lagune de Ghar El Melh et un faciès de maërl en face de Sidi Ali El Mekki. L’étude de la distribution des Polychètes en fonction des paramètres environnementaux considérés a permis quant à elle de déterminer les préférendums écologiques des espèces principales. Elle a montré, entre autres, que les Polychètes ne sont pas distribués dans le golfe de Tunis en fonction d’un seul gradient abiotique et que la profondeur joue ici un rôle primordial. L’approche écologique a été basée sur l’utilisation de plusieurs indices biotiques, et les résultats obtenus montrent que l’indice BENTIX est le plus fiable pour le cas du golfe de Tunis. L’utilisation conjointe des principaux indices a montré que l’état écologique est satisfaisant au large de Sidi Ali El Mekki, en face de Cap Farina, autour de l’île de Zembra, au nord du Cap Bon et en face de Ras El Ahmar et que le reste de la zone est en légère perturbation ou en changement vers un état de déséquilibre
    Description: This present work is about a systematic and an ecological study of the benthos within the main bathymetric levels of Tunis gulf using many approaches with aims to establish its ecological state. These are the biodiversity parameters, the bionomic features, biotic and abiotic interactions and the biotic indices based on the trophic groups and the ecological groups. Thanks to this present study, the species list of the macrobenthic invertebrates increases. Altogether 4 species of Bryozoa are newly described (Trematooecia ligulata Ayari et Taylor, 2008, Herentia baptooecium sp. nov., Herentia orthosa sp. nov. et Cellepora sinusa sp. nov) and 70 species are found here for the first time in Tunisia coast: 24 Polychaeta, 24 Bryozoans, 7 Cnidaria and 5 Amphipoda. In addition, description of the bionomic features, allowed to limit the bathymetric levels and also, provided much essential scientific informations. Thus, in the middle of the gulf, the upper bathyal level begins from -120 m after a slight declivity of the continental plateau at about -100 m. The area which extends from the northern of Ras Fartas to the offshore going by the west of Zembra Island is occupied by Posidonia meadows at -21 m and followed by a coastal detritic which characterizes the upper limit of the Circalittoral, after that an offshore detritic characterize the regression of the Circalittoral. At the third sector and in front of Sidi Daoued and Ras El Ahmar, The Posidonia meadows begin from -22 to -38 m. After that, soft bottoms and maerl in good state follow each other. The plateau continental edge is at about -67 m, and then the muddy Superior Bathyal comes at -130 m. Within the fourth area in front of Ras Gammarth, some Posidonia and Cymodocea are followed by a costal detritic at -79 m then by the continental plateau declivity witch indicates passing from Inferior Circalittoral to the Superior Bathyal characterized until -137 m by an impoverished muddy bottom. The west sector is characterized by a muddy bottom in front of the Ghar El Melh Lagoon and a maerl in front of Sidi Ali El Mekki. Study of Polychaeta distribution according to considered environmental parameters allowed us to establish the ecological preferendum of some principal species. It shows that Polychaeta were not distributed within Tunis Gulf according to only one abiotic gradient however the depth is a primordial factor. The ecological approach is based on the use of many biotic index, results obtained showed that the BENTIX index is the most adequate in the case of the Gulf of Tunis. According to the different index used simultaneously the ecological state is satisfactory offshore Sidi Ali El Mekki, in front of Cap Farina, around Zembra isle, at the north of Cap Bon, in front of Ras El Ahmar and that the rest of the area is slightly perturbed or on change toward an imbalance state.

    Description: Marine waste, including aquatic by-products, poses a significant environmental challenge and garners increasing attention for its potential valorization. The development of cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and circular technologies for transforming marine biomass into value-added products is crucial for the successful implementation of sustainable aquatic industries. This involves focusing on strategies that simultaneously reduce waste and energy demand. This document presents the research andbiotechnological innovations carried out under the ARIBiotech project, which aims to create new biological products from marine waste. In a circular economy perspective, this initiative seeks to turn sources of pollution into sustainable opportunities, contributing to the preservation of marine ecosystems while fostering innovative solutions. Exploiting marine biomass and valorizing sea by-products, whether by using them directly or extracting biopolymers, appears to be a promising solution for a more sustainable use of marine resources, leading to increased economic benefits. However, the realization of such developments is hindered by the lack of appropriate regulatory frameworks to enable the use of waste and by-products, ensuring product safety, quality, and acceptability. This white paper showcases a diverse range of bioproducts (Crab waste hydrolyzate, chitin, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, cellulose aerogels, shell powder, and bioactive extracts) derived from the application of biotechnologies on various marine waste and co-products,highlighting their potential to support sustainable development. This document aims to encourage policymakers to support the creation of alliances and innovations in blue biotechnology and enable the general public to benefit from advances in creating bioproducts from marine waste.

    Description: Although Pliocene temperature and pCO2 are similar to those predicted in the IPPC RCP4.5 scenario, the distribution of coral reefs in the center of maximum coral diversity, the Coral Triangle, during this period has not been explored. We discovered a significantly lower occurrence of reefs during the Pliocene, which we refer to as the Pliocene Reef Gap, but this decrease was not associated with a drop in coral genus richness. While some of the multiple local causes that drove this decline, such as sea level rise, are analogs to drivers of Anthropocene reef decline, neither warming nor increasing pCO2 are among them.

    Description: Traditional morphological methods for species identification are highly time consuming, especially for small organisms, such as Foraminifera, a group of shell-building microbial eukaryotes. To analyze large amounts of samples more efficiently, species identification methods have extended to molecular tools in the last few decades. Although a wide range of phyla have good markers available, for Foraminifera only one hypervariable marker from the ribosomal region (18S) is widely used. Recently a new mitochondrial marker cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) has been sequenced. Here we investigate whether this marker has a higher potential for species identification compared to the ribosomal marker. We explore the genetic variability of both the 18S and COI markers in 22 benthic foraminiferal morphospecies (orders Miliolida and Rotaliida). Using single-cell DNA, the genetic variability within specimens (intra) and between specimens (inter) of each species was assessed using next-generation sequencing. Amplification success rate was twice as high for COI (151/200 specimens) than for 18S (73/200 specimens). The COI marker showed greatly decreased intra- and inter-specimen variability compared to 18S in six out of seven selected species. The 18S phylogenetic reconstruction fails to adequately cluster multiple species together in contrast to COI. Additionally, the COI marker helped recognize misclassified specimens difficult to morphologically identify to the species level. Integrative taxonomy, combining morphological and molecular characteristics, provides a robust picture of the foraminiferal species diversity. Finally, we suggest the use of a set of sequences (two or more) to describe species showing intra-genomic variability additionally to using multiple markers. Our findings highlight the potential of the newly discovered mitochondrial marker for molecular species identification and metabarcoding purposes.

    Description: Foraminifera are a species-rich phylum of rhizarian protists that are highly abundant in many marine environments and play a major role in global carbon cycling. Species recognition in Foraminifera is mainly based on morphological characters and nuclear 18S ribosomal RNA barcoding. The 18S rRNA contains variable sequence regions that allow for the identification of most foraminiferal species. Still, some species show limited variability, while others contain high levels of intragenomic polymorphisms, thereby complicating species identification. The use of additional, easily obtainable molecular markers other than 18S rRNA will enable more detailed investigation of evolutionary history, population genetics and speciation in Foraminifera. Here we present the first mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene sequences (“barcodes”) of Foraminifera. We applied shotgun sequencing to single foraminiferal specimens, assembled COI, and developed primers that allow amplification of COI in a wide range of foraminiferal species. We obtained COI sequences of 49 specimens from 17 species from the orders Rotaliida and Miliolida. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the COI tree is largely congruent with previously published 18S rRNA phylogenies. Furthermore, species delimitation with ASAP and ABGD algorithms showed that foraminiferal species can be identified based on COI barcodes.

    Description: Mitochondria originated from an ancient bacterial endosymbiont that underwent reductive evolution by gene loss and endosymbiont gene transfer to the nuclear genome. The diversity of mitochondrial genomes published to date has revealed that gene loss and transfer processes are ongoing in many lineages. Most well-studied eukaryotic lineages are represented in mitochondrial genome databases, except for the superphylum Retaria—the lineage comprising Foraminifera and Radiolaria. Using singlecell approaches, we determined two complete mitochondrial genomes of Foraminifera and two nearly complete mitochondrial genomes of radiolarians. We report the complete coding content of an additional 14 foram species. We show that foraminiferan and radiolarian mitochondrial genomes contain a nearly fully overlapping but reduced mitochondrial gene complement compared to other sequenced rhizarians. In contrast to animals and fungi, many protists encode a diverse set of proteins on their mitochondrial genomes, including several ribosomal genes; however, some aerobic eukaryotic lineages (euglenids, myzozoans, and chlamydomonas-like algae) have reduced mitochondrial gene content and lack all ribosomal genes. Similar to these reduced outliers, we show that retarian mitochondrial genomes lack ribosomal protein and tRNA genes, contain truncated and divergent small and large rRNA genes, and contain only 14 or 15 proteincoding genes, including nad1, -3, -4, -4L, -5, and -7, cob, cox1, -2, and -3, and atp1, -6, and -9, with forams and radiolarians additionally carrying nad2 and nad6, respectively. In radiolarian mitogenomes, a noncanonical genetic code was identified in which all three stop codons encode amino acids. Collectively, these results add to our understanding of mitochondrial genome evolution and fill in one of the last major gaps in mitochondrial sequence databases.
