Published: May 2023

The status of the two specimens of Prioninae seen on Merian's plate 24 (1705) is discussed, and considered as being Mallodon spinibarbis (Linnaeus, 1758). Prionus similis Schönherr (1817) is revalidated and placed in incertae sedis in Prioninae. Information on the types of Cerambyx spinibarbis Linnaeus, 1758, C. cinnamomeus Linnaeus, 1758, and C. melanopus Linnaeus, 1767 are provided.

Sound detection in fishes relies on the inner ear and peripheral structures, such as calcareous otoliths, which play a crucial role in perceiving movement, orientation, and balance. Otoliths, in particular, respond to various environmental factors including temperature, salinity, and food availability, making them valuable indicators of ecological conditions. This study applies geometric morphometrics (GMM) to analyze the otolith shape of Diplodus annularis (Linnaeus, 1758) from two distinct populations located in the Gulf of Asinara (Porto Torres, Sardinia) and the northern Adriatic Sea (Le Tegnue).

The rough pen shell Linnaeus, 1758 (family Pinnidae) is a mollusc with an Atlantic-Mediterranean distribution, typically inhabiting coarse sandy substrates. Habitat degradation is considered the primary cause of population decline, leading to the designation 'Vulnerable' in certain regions. In this study, we conducted a genetic analysis of populations of from Cabo Verde and compared them with populations from the Mediterranean and Macaronesia.
