“…The Earth's surface temperature is expected to increase much higher than the ocean's surface, where it has been observed that the ocean surface temperature has actually increased by 0.76°C since the nineteenth century (Findlay et al, 2008). Studies indicate that biodiversity can be affected by small changes in ocean temperature (Gravili et al, 2017), and forecasts indicate that ocean temperatures may increase to nearly 2°C in the mid-21 st century (IPCC, 2014), while it may reach more than 6°C at end of the 21 st century (You-Ji, 2014). Sea levels except to rise about 0.5 -0.8 meters above 1990 levels by the end of this century, and it is likely will rise to more than one meter at that time due to the melting of glaciers and continental ice caps (Galland et al, 2009).…”

The most prominent indicators of climate change are observed in many climatic phenomena since 1950s, such as changes in temperature, the amount of precipitation, hurricanes, the resulting floods and high levels of saline seawater (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 2014), and there is clear evidence of climate change, whether due to human activities or natural causes (Gravili, et al., 2017). These climate changes lead to remarkable alterations in natural habitats and ecosystems (Hanley, Bouma and Mossman, 2020), which may threaten the biodiversity of organisms and human food security (Banerjee et al., 2018), and if the global warming increased 1.5°C -

“…This study supports the depth refugia hypothesis and highlights that acclimation or shifting seasons of occurrence were needed to allow the species to return to shallow water. Gravili et al (2017) reconstructed the worldwide distribution of the genus Halecium, showing that it can be considered an indicator for biological responses to climate change, at least in the Mediterranean Sea.…”

“…Recent anthropogenic threats include industrial pollution, eutrophication, microplastics, and non-indigenous species [7]. Furthermore, climate change is altering the distribution, phenology and physiology of many animals, algae, and plants [11][12][13][14][15]. On the one hand, the gradual rise in global temperatures is promoting the spread of warm-water organisms in the Mediterranean, leading to the so-called process of "tropicalization" [16].…”

Project “Biodiversity MARE Tricase”: A Species Inventory of the Coastal Area of Southeastern Salento (Ionian Sea, Italy)

Biodiversity is a broad concept that encompasses the diversity of nature, from the genetic to the habitat scale, and ensures the proper functioning of ecosystems. The Mediterranean Sea, one of the world’s most biodiverse marine basins, faces major threats, such as overexploitation of resources, pollution and climate change. Here we provide the first multi-taxa inventory of marine organisms and coastal terrestrial flora recorded in southeastern Salento (Ionian Sea, Italy), realized during the project “Biodiversity MARE Tricase”, which provided the first baseline of species living in the area. Sampling was carried out by SCUBA and free diving, fishing gears, and citizen science from 0 to 70 m. Overall, 697 taxa were found between March 2016 and October 2017, 94% of which were identified to the species level. Of these, 19 taxa represented new records for the Ionian Sea (36 additional new records had been reported in previous publications on specific groups, namely Porifera and Mollusca Heterobranchia), and two findings represented the easternmost records in the Mediterranean Sea (Helicosalpa virgula and Lampea pancerina). For eight other taxa, our findings represented the only locality in the Ionian Sea, besides the Straits of Messina. In addition to the species list, phenological events (e.g., blooms, presence of reproductive traits and behaviour) were also reported, with a focus on gelatinous plankton. Our results reveal that even for a relatively well-known area, current biodiversity knowledge may still be limited, and targeted investigations are needed to fill the gaps. Further research is needed to understand the distribution and temporal trends of Mediterranean biodiversity and to provide baseline data to identify ongoing and future changes.
