Seaweeds of the Greek coasts. II. Ulvophyceae

Abstract

An updated checklist of the green seaweeds (Ulvophyceae) of the Greek coasts is provided, based on both literature records and new collections. The total number of species and infraspecific taxa currently accepted is 96. The occurrence of each taxon in the North Aegean, South Aegean and Ionian Seas is given. In addition, 11 taxa pending confirmation of their presence, 9 excludenda and 15 inquirenda are briefly discussed.

Checklist of the benthic marine macroalgae from Algeria, part II: <em>Ulvophyceae</em>

“…2001). However, it is similar to other Mediterranean countries such as Greece (95 taxa) (Tsiamis & al. 2014) and Tunisia (71 taxa) (Guiry & Guiry 2019), and higher than Libya (31 taxa) (Guiry & Guiry 2019).…”

“…Silva; Phaeophyceae (i.e., brown macroalgae) by six species, namely, Colpomenia sinuosa , Cystoseira amentacea , Cystoseira barbata , Cystoseira compressa , Sargassum vulgare , and Padina pavonica ; and Chlorophyta (i.e., green macroalgae) by three taxa, namely, Codium fragile , Ulva intestinalis , and Ulva rigida ( Table 1 ). The nomenclature and classification of organisms were based on the following floral catalogs and studies [ 23 , 24 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]. Two of these species belonged to the sheet functional group, five species to the coarsely branched group, and seven species to the thick–leathery group ( Table 1 ) [ 16 , 17 , 23 , 24 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ].…”

“…The taxonomical group of red algae dominates in terms of diversity in the macroalgae found in Greek coasts [ 22 ]. The Greek macroalgae include in total about 550 taxa [ 23 , 24 ]. Especially, in Greek coasts, benthic macroalgal species are more frequently found in the North and South Aegean Sea and in shallow sheltered body types (10–45 species/0.04 m 2 ) [ 23 , 24 ].…”

The Aegean Sea is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea and covers an area of about 215,000 km 2 .…”
