Abstract The paper describes the Tamaricion dalmaticae alliance and the Tamaricetum dalmaticae association, a new syntaxa localized under the saline or sub-halophilous conditions within the thermo-mediterranean and meso-mediterranean belts of the eastern Adriatic coast. The Tamaricion dalmaticae alliance is considered analogous to the Western Mediterranean Tamaricion africanae. The Tamaricetum dalmaticae association shows the high ecological amplitude of in terms of moisture. It develops on sandy soils only periodically inundated with sea or brackish waters, as well as on non-flooded areas in south Croatia, Montenegro and NW Albania. In Croatia, Tamaricetum dalmaticae has connections with the halophyte communities of the Sarcocornietea fruticosae and Ammophiletea classes, and the xerophilous ruderal communities of the Artemisietea vulgaris class. The habitats are exposed to disturbances and fragmentation.

A New Species

A new species from Limonium (Plumbaginaceae), L. albuferae sp. nov., is described from the saline-sandy soils in the saltmarshes of the Eastern Iberian Peninsula (Devesa Albufera, Valencia province, Spain). The new species is triploid (2n = 26) and is closely related to the Western Mediterranean L. girardianum from which it morphologically differs by the major robustness, and overall dimensions of leaves, inflorescences, spikes and spikelets, and by the comparative smaller size of the outer and middle bracts.

Oriental Shrimp

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the world’s hotspots for marine bio-invasions. Most invasions are first documented based on an initial record of occasional adult captures. However, reports of larval stages could indicate that there is an adult population that is reproducing and therefore well established in the area. The spread of the oriental shrimp, Palaemon macrodactylus, from its native estuarine waters of southeast Asia to new regions worldwide is well documented. We report the first record of this species in the Mediterranean based on the presence of its larval stages in plankton samples. Decapod larvae were collected in five offshore plankton surveys performed off the Balearic Islands (western Mediterranean), and zoeae III and VI of the oriental shrimp werefound among them. Taking into account the duration of the successive developmental stages, and the hydrodynamic characteristics of the study area, these larvae were most probably spawned by adult populations not yet documented. The larvae were found in marine waters despite the fact that adults usually inhabit brackish waters. Our study is a good example of how plankton studies can help to detect larval stages of invasive species before the adult populations are detected.

Chondrilla Juncea

AbstractThe biology and host specificity of Dactynotus chondrillae (Nevsk.) and Chondrillobium blattnyi (Pintera) living on the weed Chondrilla juncea (Compositae, Cichoriaceae) have been studied in the Mediterranean region as part of the biological control programme against this weed for Australia. Both are recorded from south-eastern Russia to the western Mediterranean region. The two species are monoecious. D. chondrillae has a facultative sexual reproductive phase every year but Chondrillobium blattnyi reproduces indefinitely by parthenogenesis in the Mediterranean region. D. chondrillae feeds mostly on young shoots, has population peaks in the spring and in the autumn, and can damage Chondrilla in the field. Chondrillobium blattnyi is a leaf feeder capable of seriously injuring the rosettes, but it never occurs in large enough populations in nature to be damaging. To demonstrate specificity, both aphids were tested against various Cichoriaceae and other Compositae and also against 61 cultivated plant species belonging to 20 families. The two aphids were shown to be specific to the genus Chondrilla. In the laboratory D. chondrillae was less host restricted than the other aphid and it reproduced on Sonchus asper and Taraxacum officinale. Comparative testing with strains of the two aphids from various sources against various forms of C. juncea showed that each strain was adapted to the form of C. juncea occurring in its own geographic area. The southern French strain of these aphids was ill-adapted to the main Australian form of C. juncea, but a strain of D. chondrillae originating from the Italian Adriatic coast heavily infested this form. D. chondrillae was not considered to be specific enough to permit its introduction into Australia and the introduction of Chondrillobium blattnyi has been delayed until it can be shown that it cannot transmit virus diseases that affect lettuce.
