“…La Perna & D'Abramo (2011) argued that a large number of Cardiidae genera with tropical affinities were present in the Mediterranean area during the Pliocene (e.g. Afrocardium Tomlin, 1931;Europicardium Popov, 1977;Nemocardium Meek, 1876) and disappeared during the Early-Middle Pleistocene, although they persist outside the Mediterranean in tropical areas (Ter Poorten 2009;2013) It is therefore plausible that climatic conditions during the Zanclean to mid-Piacenzan interval allowed the establishment of a warm-adapted Cardiidae fauna with extinct and extant species having comparable geographical ranges and similar ecological requirements, and that the onset of a new climatic regime, with stronger glacial and interglacial oscillations in the Early and Middle Pleistocene, caused their disappearance. Raffi et al (1985) noted also that many bivalve taxa with tropical affinities, including members of the Veneridae and Lucinidae, disappeared from the Mediterranean Sea after the 3 Ma threshold.…”

The Mediterranean Sea is recognized as a hotspot of marine biodiversity. Analysing its past biodiversity can help in understanding species' response to climate change. We built a species‐level dataset of bivalve occurrences across the Zanclean–Calabrian interval, a time characterized by significant changes in climate, and by bivalve extinctions. The dataset includes more than 400 species distributed from the eastern to the western Mediterranean Sea. We measured changes in richness and turnover through time, for the entire dataset, and for different palaeoenvironments and combinations of tiering and feeding categories to test if specific environmental conditions and different lifestyles were correlated to species extinction or survival through time. We also compared niche breadth, geographical range size, and species abundance of extinct and extant species, to test which of these parameters potentially affected extinction risk. Our results confirm a loss of biodiversity between 3 Ma and the Early Pleistocene, although this loss was less intense and more gradual than previously estimated. We also found significant differences in niche breadth and geographical range size between extinct and extant species. Suspension feeders lost a higher proportion of species and suffered a higher reduction of geographical range compared to infaunal deposit feeders. Species loss was more protracted and higher on the shoreface than on the shelf, which is probably related to the reduction of shallow‐water vegetated environments and to the disaggregation of heterozoan carbonate ramp habitats with cooling and sea‐level drop at the onset of the northern hemisphere glaciation.

“…The most distinct ecoregion was the Bonaparte Coast, which exhibited many unique species. The Kimberley region, part of this ecoregion, is reported to have many endemic species, including Pisces (55 species) (Moore et al, 2014), Crustacea (82 species) (Hosie et al, 2015), Echinodermata (39 species) (Sampey & Marsh, 2015), Mollusca (80 species) (ter Poorten et al, 2017;Willan et al, 2015), Annelida, Polychaeta (24 species) (Hutchings et al, 2014), Rhodophyta (two species) and Phaeophyceae (one species) (Huisman & Sampey, 2014). The present study also supports recognition of the broader, Central Indo-Pacific Realm, which includes the Bonaparte Coast, as a marine biodiversity hotspot (Bowen et al, 2013;Miller et al, 2018;Ramírez et al, 2017) and a centre of endemicity (Reaka et al, 2008;Roberts et al, 2002;Veron et al, 2015;Wilson & Kirkendale, 2016).…”

Aim:The Marine Ecoregions of the World (MEOW) system delineates the oceans into 232 ecoregions. Here, we aimed to evaluate the suitability of this system to represent species distributions within Indo-West Australian waters, explore alternative ecoregions and new subecoregions and investigate environmental variables that are correlated with species distributions within those waters.Location: Indo-West Australia.Taxon: Vertebrates, invertebrates, marine plants. Methods:We downloaded occurrence data for 14,513 marine species from the Ocean Biogeographic Information System. We analysed differences in species composition among nine ecoregions within Indo-West Australian waters using pairwise permutational multivariate analysis of variance to evaluate how well the MEOW system represents species distributions within those waters. We delineated subecoregions within each distinct ecoregion using hierarchical cluster analysis with the unweighted pair-group method using arithmetic averages. We analysed relationships between environmental variables and species composition using distance-based linear models.Results: Species composition was significantly different among ecoregions, except for three adjacent regions, which were combined into a single large ecoregion. Hence, seven distinct ecoregions were further analysed. Our study identified 13 subecoregions within these ecoregions that each separate into 'inshore' and 'offshore' zones.Depth explained the most variation in species composition of the combined taxa and sea surface temperature was the most important parameter in explaining the variability in most taxa. Main Conclusion:The MEOW system did not represent well the distribution of marine species within Indo-West Australian waters. Alternatively, we show that those waters encompass seven distinct ecoregions with 13 subecoregions. The main environmental drivers of species distributions could be depth and sea surface temperature. The proposed ecoregions and subecoregions allow us to improve the biogeographic hypotheses for understanding the evolution of marine species and identify representative marine habitats and species composition for the setting of Marine Protected Area networks within Indo-West Australian waters. | 2247 HADIYANTO eT Al.
