Abstract Coastal ecosystems are ecologically, culturally, and economically important, and hence are under pressure from diverse human activities. We reviewed the literature for existing evidence of effects of human-induced habitat changes on exploited fish utilizing coastal habitats. We focused on fish species of the Northeast Atlantic for which fisheries advice is provided by International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) and which utilize coastal habitats for at least one life-history stage (LHS). We found that 92% of these species are impacted by human activity in at least one LHS while utilizing coastal habitat and 38% in multiple stages. Anthropogenic pressures most commonly shown to impact these fish species were toxicants and pollutants (75% of species). Eutrophication and anoxia, invasive species, and physical coastal development affected about half of the species (58, 54, and 42% of species, respectively), while indirect fishing impacts affected a minority (17% of species). Moreover, 71% of the ICES advice species that utilize coastal habitats face impacts from more than one pressure, implying cumulative effects. Given that three-fourths of the commercial landings come from fish species utilizing coastal habitats, there is an obvious need for a better understanding of the impacts that human activities cause in these habitats for the development of ecosystem-based fisheries management.

South-western Western Australia is a biodiversity hotspot, with high levels of local endemism and a rich but largely undescribed terrestrial invertebrate fauna. Very few phylogeographic studies have been undertaken on south-western Australian invertebrate taxa, and almost nothing is known about historical biogeographic or cladogenic processes, particularly on the relatively young, speciose Quaternary sand dune habitats of the Swan Coastal Plain. Phylogeographic and taxonomic patterns were studied in textricellin micropholcommatid spiders belonging to the genus Raveniella Rix & Harvey. The Micropholcommatidae is a family of small spiders with a widespread distribution in southern Western Australia, and most species are spatially restricted to refugial microhabitats. In total, 340 specimens of Raveniella were collected from 36 surveyed localities on the Swan Coastal Plain and 17 non-Swan Coastal Plain reference localities in south-western Western Australia. Fragments from three nuclear rRNA genes (5.8S, 18S and ITS2), and one mitochondrial protein-coding gene (COI) were used to infer the phylogeny of the genus Raveniella, and to examine phylogeographic patterns on the Swan Coastal Plain. Five new species of Raveniella are described from Western Australia (R. arenacea, sp. nov., R. cirrata, sp. nov., R. janineae, sp. nov., R. mucronata, sp. nov. and R. subcirrata, sp. nov.), along with a single new species from south-eastern Australia (R. apopsis, sp. nov.). Four species of Raveniella were found on the Swan Coastal Plain: two with broader distributions in the High Rainfall and Transitional Rainfall Zones (R. peckorum Rix & Harvey, R. cirrata); and two endemic to the Swan Coastal Plain, found only on the western-most Quindalup dunes (R. arenacea, R. subcirrata). Two coastally restricted species (R. subcirrata, R. janineae) were found to be morphologically cryptic but genetically highly distinct, with female specimens morphologically indistinguishable from their respective sister-taxa (R. cirrata and R. peckorum). The greater Perth region is an important biogeographic overlap zone for all four Swan Coastal Plain species, where the ranges of two endemic coastal species join the northern and south-western limits of the ranges of R. peckorum and R. cirrata, respectively. Most species of Raveniella were found to occupy long, highly autapomorphic molecular branches exhibiting little intraspecific variation, and an analysis of ITS2 rRNA secondary structures among different species of Raveniella revealed the presence of an extraordinary hypervariable helix, ranging from 31 to over 400 nucleotides in length.

It is shown that the distribution of species composition of malacofauna of the coastal zone is uneven. The species diversity of malacofauna of the coastal zone of the Novorossiysk Bay includes 17 species of mollusks: 11 species (65% of all species found) belong to the class Gastropoda, 5 species (29%) to the class Bivalvia, and 1 species (6%) to the class Polyplacophora. The basis of abundance throughout the studied coastal part is created by bivalve mollusks, predominantly of the genus Mytilaster, and gastropods of the genus Rissoa. The Black Sea is inhabited by representatives of 3 classes of mollusks: gastropods, bivalve mollusks and shell mollusks. Species composition of coastal mollusks by status consists of 3 groups: mass (5 species), common (4 species) and rare (8 species).

Sympatric communities of organisms may exploit different ecological niches to avoid intra- and interspecific competition. We examined the isotopic niches of American black ducks ( Anas rubripes) and mallards ( A. platyrhynchos) wintering in coastal and urban areas of Atlantic Canada and compared isotopic niche with digestive tract morphologies and blood mercury (Hg) concentrations. Isotopic niche width (for δ13C and δ15N) varied between the three groups of ducks studied, with coastally foraging black ducks exhibiting the widest isotopic niche, followed by coastal mallards, while urban feeding black ducks had a narrow isotopic niche. These niche differences had physical and chemical consequences: coastal black ducks had longer digestive tracts, a larger range in gizzard sizes, and higher and more variable Hg concentrations than urban black ducks and coastal mallards. This plasticity in ecological niche may reduce competition among and within species, and subsequently explain why winter numbers of black ducks and mallards have increased in Atlantic Canada.

AbstractWapusk National Park is part of the Hudson Bay Lowlands in Manitoba and covers 11 475 km2. Lichen surveys were initiated in 2002 but none have reported all species incorporating broad habitat types or a baseline on which to make management decisions. The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine species diversity, including species richness and evenness of the lichens present; 2) to explore species distributions; and 3) to compare lichen growth form and substratum relationships among physiographic regions. Fifty-six locations in four habitat types (physiographic regions: open coastal beach ridge, forested coastal beach ridge, boreal transition forest, and peat plateau bog) and three burned locations were visited over nine years and specimens were collected at each location. A total of 276 species and subspecies were collected. One species is new to Canada (Buellia uberior Anzi) and ten species are new to Manitoba. Species diversity, evenness, and richness were highest in the coastal beach ridge. The open coastal beach ridge, boreal transition forest, and peat plateau bogs formed separate clusters in the non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMS) but the forested coastal beach ridge overlapped with the open coastal beach ridge. Unique species in each region may serve as indicators to monitor long-term changes. While the coastal beach ridge facilitates travel along the coast, it also represents the region with the highest need for intervention to conserve species diversity.

This study aims to analyze the species diversity, distribution and status of fish found in the coastal waters of Banten Bay. Samplings were carried out 7 times at three locations namely Cengkok coastal waters (on February-March 2019), Bojonegara coastal waters (January-February, August-September 2020), and Kemayungan-Linduk coastal waters (February-April 2021) of the Banten Bay, using gill nets, trammel net, cast net, hand-line, beach seine, and mini trawl. Results of this study showed that the fish caught in the Banten Bay coastal waters consisted of 111 species, distributed at the three areas, namely Cengkok (32 species), Bojonegara (58 species), and Kemayungan-Linduk coastal waters (51 species). The diversity, eveness, and dominance indices were 2.185 - 3.763, 0.630 - 0.781, and 0.072 - 0.233 respectively, indicating the medium-high species diversity. These fish were spreading in marine water, fresh water, estuary, freshwater and estuary, marine and estuary, and marine, estuary and freshwater. The common species found at the study location were Ellochelon vaigiensis, Planiliza subviridis, and Leiognathus equula. In general, most of the fish found in Banten Bay were classified as least concern (LC), while two species were vulnerable (VU), one species was near threatened (NT), and ones species was endangered species (EN).

AbstractBeach vitex is a salt-tolerant, perennial, invasive shrub that has naturalized in coastal areas of the southeastern United States. Since its introduction in the 1980s, this Pacific Rim native has invaded many fragile beach-dune ecosystems along the Mid-Atlantic, Southern Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico. Large-scale monocultures of beach vitex supplant native species through rapid vegetative reproduction and seed production. Fruits are capable of water-based dispersal, allowing for potential rapid range expansion in coastal areas. Ecosystem damage resulting from exclusion of native plant species by beach vitex and fears associated with potential negative effects on sea turtle nesting have served to promote the control and survey efforts presently underway in coastal areas of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Maryland.

The coastal plants of Rotuma have high cultural and ecological utility. Unfortunately, like most of the smaller islands in the tropical Pacific Ocean, Rotuma?s coastal littoral flora and vegetation has been extensively modified by human activity. This disturbance has led to the loss of much of the native vegetation that once covered the island. Rotuma?s coast is now almost entirely devoid of undisturbed native vegetation because of the high fertility of the island and the suitability of the coastal plains for human habitation and agriculture. The few remaining sites with relatively undisturbed native forests are primarily in those areas that are unsuitable for habitation and agriculture. Such areas are increasingly under threat due to the growing number of native pigsties, from which many escapees have been allowed to forage freely within the forests, killing shrubs and seedlings of forest species, particularly herbaceous under-story species. If allowed to continue, the coastal vegetation, the valuable plants found there and associated ethnobotanical knowledge will eventually be lost. Many littoral species of high cultural utility have already disappeared or are threatened because of many years of indiscriminate coastal deforestation without any effective restorative measures. The need for strategic planning and implementation of protective and restorative measures for Rotuma?s coastal littoral vegetation is, thus, an immediate priority. It is imperative that measures are formulated and implemented as soon as circumstances allow.

Seasonal variations in species composition and abundance of tintinnids were investigated in the eutrophic coastal and offshore waters of Mersin Bay. Twelve sampling cruises were performed from September 2008 to February 2011. A total of 85 tintinnid taxa were identified. Among the recorded genera, agglutinated Tintinnopsis had the largest number of species (12 species), followed by hyaline loricated Eutintinnius (9 species), and Proplectella (7 species). Stenosemella ventricosa, Tintinnopsis beroidea, T. compressa, Favella azorica, and Helicostemella subulata were the dominant species during the study period. There were clear seasonal variations in species composition and abundance of tintinnids. The highest number of tintinnid species occurred in January 2009 and November 2010 in the entire study area, while the lowest species number occurred in March 2009. Morever, species numbers were higher in offshore stations than coastal stations. Some species were present in the coastal area of the bay, and other species were present offshore. The highest tintinnid abundance values were found in September 2008 (820 ind L-1) and August 2009 (749 ind L-1) at coastal stations. The high abundance values in the coastal stations indicates that an increase of tintinnids is closely related to trophic status of the marine environment. In connection with these results, correlation analysis revealed that chlorophyll-a had an important effect on tintinnid abundance. Tintinnid communities may be used as a potential bio-indicator for assessing the trophic state of the coastal seas and bays.

An account is given of the occurrence of Pediastrum (Chlorophyceae, Sphaeropleales) in five eutrophic coastal lakes (Jamno, Bukowo, Gardno, Łebsko and Sarbsko) in northern Poland, together with morphological data of the species and more detailed taxonomic and ecological information for three taxa which appear to be rare world wide. These are P. musterii, P. orientale and P. alternans; the first is recorded for the first time from central Europe. P. orientale and P. alternans show considerable morphological variability under different environmental conditions, indicating the need for further studies. The studied lakes seem to be especially favourable for Pediastrum, with a total of eight species (15 taxa) in the phytoplankton noted during the summer. However, the relative frequency of the genus in the overall algal communities was low. The most frequent species were P. boryanum, P. kawraiskyi and P. duplex and these were accompanied by cyanobacteria, coccal green algae (Chlorophyceae, Chlorococcales) and diatoms (Bacillariophyceae). All the Pediastrum taxa were documented using LM and SEM.

Quantitative analysis of the species composition and succession law of a plant community in a coastal reclamation area is of great significance for revealing the community construction and species coexistence mechanisms, and provides a basis for the rational use and conservation in coastal reclamation areas. Through the investigation of natural plant communities in Dongtai reclamation area and the adjacent national nature reserves in Jiangsu Province, eastern China, the composition and succession of plant communities were studied. A quantitative method was explored to analyze the process of plant succession and its representative species. The results showed that (1) A total of 65 species were found in the vegetation survey. These belonged to 26 families and 61 genera, and Poaceae is the most common plant species. The plant communities in the unreclaimed areas were mainly composed of Poaceae and Cyperaceae. The plant species increased after reclamation, which were mainly composed of Poaceae and Asteraceae; (2) The plant coverage greatly reduced after three years of reclamation, from 80% of the tidal flat to 37.34%, then gradually increased, and remained generally between 50% and 70%; (3) The above-ground biomass of the plant community was sharply reduced after reclamation, from 1.823 kg/m2 in the tidal flat to 0.321 kg/m2 in three years of reclamation, and then maintained at 0.11~0.27 kg/m2; (4)The species succession process of the plant community in the coastal wetland ecosystem that was affected by the reclamation activities transformed from a halophyte community that was dominated by a salt marsh plant community (Suaeda salsa, Spartina alterniflora, Scirpus mariqueter, and Phragmites australis) to a mesophyte plant community that was constructed with pioneer species such as Setaria viridis, Eleusine indica, etc., and eventually succeeded to a xerophyte plant community that was dominated by Humulus scandens and Cyperus difformis, etc. Reclamation activities have a profound impact on the characteristics and succession rules of natural vegetation communities along coastal wetland ecosystems. The period of seven years is presumed to be the tipping point in the succession of the plant community in coastal reclamation areas. The results of this study can provide a basis and reference for ecological protection and restoration in coastal reclamation areas.

Modern taxocenes of benthic diatoms of coastal aquatic habitats of the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago were studied for the first time based on the materials of the expedition in summer 2019. The following habitats were studied: sublittoral, littoral, as well as semi-enclosed coastal water bodies. In the entire set of communities, a total of 180 species and subspecies (IST) of diatoms were noted. The local α-diversity of communities in the sublittoral was 6–26 species and IST (on average – 14.8), and for coastal locations, including the littoral – 12–51 species and IST (on average – 33). The floristic groups and coenotic groups of diatoms have been identified for sublittoral and coastal habitats. Significant differences were noted both among coastal taxocenes (average similarity of 23.41% in species composition and 9.78% in structure) and among sublittoral communities (19.51% and 34.54%, respectively). The entire spectrum of the noted on permanent slides species are photodocumented.

This paper describes the unique natural communities and biodiversity of the upwelling coastal system along the Guajira peninsula in the southern Caribbean Sea. The Guajira peninsula has a small human population with limited infrastructure and limited opportunities for coastal research, yet its coastal upwelling system is unique in the Tropical Western Atlantic region. This report includes both field observations along with a review of literature on the biodiversity of coastal eastern Guajira. In addition, it identifies missing information on the coastal system that is key to its management and conservation. Mangrove wetlands along with submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) communities in a combination of consolidated and unconsolidated shorelines (e.g., rocky shores, cliffs, and beaches) form unique habitats in eastern Guajira. The diversity of these habitats is illustrated with the Bahia Hondita marine lagoon, where critical nursery habitat for several commercial valuable and endangered fisheries species, including sharks and sea turtles, is observed. Less information is available on more cryptic fauna, invertebrates, and coastal plankton species. Several anthropogenic factors are threatening species diversity in coastal Guajira, including overgrazing, mining, and target-species overfishing. Additional threats, such as extreme weather events (e.g., storms and droughts) as well as changes in coastal water quality, are also impacting species. The protection of the Guajira’s biodiversity would depend on local communities’ governance and empowerment as well as law enforcement for mining and agriculture operations. Management plans can include reducing land-based sources of pollution and building coastal resilience for climate change.

Abstract Many exploited fish and macroinvertebrates that utilize the coastal zone have declined, and the causes of these declines, apart from overfishing, remain largely unresolved. Degradation of essential habitats has resulted in habitats that are no longer adequate to fulfil nursery, feeding, or reproductive functions, yet the degree to which coastal habitats are important for exploited species has not been quantified. Thus, we reviewed and synthesized literature on the ecological value of coastal habitats (i.e. seagrass beds, shallow subtidal and intertidal habitats, kelp beds, shallow open water habitats, saltmarshes, mussel beds, macroalgal beds, rocky bottom, and mariculture beds) as feeding grounds, nursery areas, spawning areas, and migration routes of 59 taxa, for which the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) gives management advice, and another 12 commercially or ecologically important species. In addition, we provide detailed information on coastal habitat use for plaice (Pleuronectes platessa), cod (Gadus morhua), brown shrimp (Crangon crangon), and European lobster (Homarus gammarus). Collectively, 44% of all ICES species utilized coastal habitats, and these stocks contributed 77% of the commercial landings of ICES-advice species, indicating that coastal habitats are critical to population persistence and fishery yield of ICES species. These findings will aid in defining key habitats for protection and restoration and provide baseline information needed to define knowledge gaps for quantifying the habitat value for exploited fish and invertebrates.

The results of studies on the distribution of alien species in macrozoobenthic communities in the reservoirs of the Kama River cascade are provided. Twenty five alien species of the Ponto-Caspian and Ponto-Azov origins and 1 species - a representative of the Lake Baikal fauna - were registered. Differences in the species composition and structural characteristics of invaders of macrozoobenthos in the Kama and Volga reservoirs were shown. It was noted that mollusks of the genus Dreissena dominate in biomass in most of the studied biotopes. Three types of coenotic complexes of alien species have been identified: psammorelophilic profundal, characteristic for the Nizhnekamsk Reservoir and the Volgo-Kamsky and Kamsky reaches of the Kuibyshev Reservoir; the psammorelophilic coastal in Nizhnekamsk Reservoir; and the psammorelophilic coastal in Votkinsk and Kama reservoirs.

Alien, introduced, and non-native species expand their distribution through the development of various transportation networks. In Japan, Ligustrum lucidum Aiton (Oleaceae) was introduced in the mid-1800s for use as roadside trees, but has escaped from the planting area and spread everywhere. This species also invades coastal areas and has adapted to develop its characteristic features under various stress conditions. To clarify the adaptive features of L. lucidum in coastal areas, we conducted morphological and anatomical analyses. We found that the stomatal size of L. lucidum was smaller in the coastal populations than in inland populations, which is similar to the coastal adaptation pattern of L. japonicum Thunb., a closely related native species. Our results suggest that strong selective pressure on coastal area conditions could force their leaves to avoid excessive transpiration, and such an adaptation pattern of L. lucidum could expand its distribution to various coastal areas.

A highly productive coastal zone plays an important role in various stages of fish life cycles, e.g., spawning migrations, fish reproduction, larval development, juveniles growing, etc. Therefore, coastal biotopes significantly contribute to commercial fish species recruitment. Although the eastern Gulf of Finland is rich in shallow coastal water, its coastal fish communities and the influencing environmental variables are still significantly understudied. We investigated the composition and distribution of coastal fish species and the impact of abiotic and biotic environmental factors in the eastern Gulf of Finland during field surveys in 2011–2017. In total, 34 fish species were recorded at shallows. The coastal fish community demonstrates a low degree of heterogeneity despite a highly heterogeneous environment. Five freshwater species are widely distributed and the most frequent in the area. Three key environmental variables influencing the coastal fish community of the eastern Gulf of Finland were: (i) salinity, (ii) filamentous algae presence, and (iii) macrophytes presence. Fish community structure was also influenced by the sampling season. Discriminating and typifying taxa were performed for each environmental variable. We suggest that obtained results might be useful for future environmental studies in the region and fish community modeling.

Abstract This study aims to investigate the coastal plant biodiversity status of Tripoli Province. The result of the survey led to a collection and identification of 130 plant species belonging to 36 families and 105 genera, of which 29 species represented monocotyledons and 101 dicotyledons. Floristic analysis revealed the dominance of the family Asteraceae (24 species) followed by the family Poaceae (22 species). The results have also showed the predominance of the genera Juncus and Lotus with 4 species each. Life form and chorological spectra analyses showed the prevalence of therophytes, represented by 77 species, and the Mediterranean chorotypes with 46 species. Categorization of collected plant species according to their ecological types, revealed a variety of ecological types, with the prevalence of psammophytes, represented by 50 species.

Assessing species at the regional level for their conservation is a vital first step in identifying and prioritizing species for both ex situ and in situ conservation actions. The complex coastal geomorphology of the Farasan Archipelago gives rise to promontories and bays that fragment the coastal flora. Climate change studies, combined with a case study of anthropogenic land use changes such as urbanization, tourism, and fishing, highlight the threat to the fragmented plant populations. In this study, the regional IUCN categories and criteria have been used to assess the conservation status of twelve targeted taxa of the Farasan Archipelago based on the data collected during field surveys and a literature review. According to our results, six species have been categorized as endangered (EN), four species as vulnerable (VU), and two species as near threatened (NT). Compared to an earlier assessment at the global level, Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata have been re-categorized with a high degree of threat and ten species have been assessed for the first time. An effective action plan for the protection of the coastal zone and inland area biodiversity of the Archipelago is crucial to reduce threats to the islands’ plants.

SynopsisThe size and distribution of Orkney's breeding seabird populations are relatively well known, with cliff-nesting species having been monitored annually since 1976. Conditions for these monitored species appear to be less favourable now than they were at the beginning of the study.Nationally significant populations of seaducks and waders winter in Orkney. With exceptions, the population size, distribution and ecology of these birds is only poorly understood.Otters appear to be widespread; however, spraint surveys suggest that these animals may not be as numerous in Orkney as they are in Shetland, the Western Isles and Highland Region.

The bleating tree frog (Litoria dentata) is one of the more prominent pelodryadid frogs of eastern Australia by virtue of its extremely loud, piercing, male advertisement call. A member of the Litoria rubella species group, L. dentata has a broad latitudinal distribution and is widespread from coastal and subcoastal lowlands through to montane areas. A recent mitochondrial DNA analysis showed a deep phylogeographic break between populations of L. dentata on the mid-north coast of New South Wales. Here we extended the mitochondrial survey with more geographically comprehensive sampling and tested the systematic implications of our findings with nuclear genome wide single-nucleotide polymorphism, morphological and male advertisement call datasets. While similar in appearance and in male advertisement call, our integrative analysis demonstrates the presence of three species which replace each other in a north-south series. We redescribe Litoria dentata, which is restricted to coastal north-eastern New South Wales, and formally describe Litoria balatus sp. nov., from south-eastern Queensland, and Litoria quiritatus sp. nov., from the mid-coast of New South Wales to north-eastern Victoria.

When multiple species of fish coexist there are a host of potential ways through which they may interact, yet there is often a strong focus on studies of single species without considering these interactions. For example, many studies of forestry–stream interactions in the Pacific Northwest have focused solely on the most prevalent species: Coastal cutthroat trout. To examine the potential for interactions of other fishes with coastal cutthroat trout, we conducted an analysis of 281 sites in low order streams located on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and along the central Oregon coast. Coastal cutthroat trout and juvenile coho salmon were the most commonly found salmonid species within these streams and exhibited positive associations with each other for both presence and density. Steelhead were negatively associated with the presence of coastal cutthroat trout as well as with coho salmon and sculpins (Cottidae). Coastal cutthroat trout most frequently shared streams with juvenile coho salmon. For densities of these co-occurring species, associations between these two species were relatively weak compared to the strong influences of physical stream conditions (size and gradient), suggesting that physical conditions may have more of an influence on density than species interactions. Collectively, our analysis, along with a review of findings from prior field and laboratory studies, suggests that the net effect of interactions between coastal cutthroat trout and coho salmon do not appear to inhibit their presence or densities in small streams along the Pacific Northwest.

Coastal dunes habitats at Buenos Aires province are in a fragmentation and habitat loss process due to related human activities. Knowledge on the herpetofauna of Buenos Aires province coast habitats is plentiful for some species of lizards and scarce for most amphibians and snakes. With the aim to present a list on the amphibians and reptiles of the coastal dune habitats in Buenos Aires province we recorded species coming from field work, cited in literature, and vouchers specimens deposited in herpetological collections. We recorded 35 species in six sectors that represent the last remnants of coastal dunes in good conservation status. The Mar Chiquita and Faro Querandí Reserves represent an important contribution to the conservation of several species that inhabit coastal dune habitats. It is necessary to increase the knowledge on biodiversity in those habitats in order to develop conservation strategies.

Seed dispersal is a key determinant of species distribution, although it is still unclear how it contributes to species assembly in plant communities. We linked patterns of seed dispersal to coexisting species to investigate the role of dispersal in the species assembly process. We focused on 19 species coexisting in a foredune plant community, classified as “foredune foundation species”, “semi-fixed dune species,” and “alien species”. The number of seeds dispersed by the 19 species was monitored monthly in 25 plots for 12 months. Then we compared both dispersal strategies and dispersal phenology among the species. Foredune foundation species, species of the semi-fixed dune, and alien species used the same dispersal strategies, with the exception of hemerochory, which was prevalently used by alien species. The three groups of species differentiated the dispersal season: semi-fixed dune species and alien species were early and late dispersers, respectively (spring vs. late summer), while foredune foundation species dispersed seeds in summer. Seasonal differentiation in seed dispersal may play a more important role in the species assembly process than dispersal vectors. Shifts in seasonality due to climate change may influence the timing of seed dispersal and provide species with different colonization opportunities.

This study presents elementary taxonomic data on the composition of vascular flora in the disaster prone coastal district Satkhira of Bangladesh. The results of this study show that this district houses 664 species under 468 genera and 133 families of vascular plants. The Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms are represented by 21 and five species, whereas, the Magnoliopsida (dicotyledons) and Liliopsida (monocotyledons) of Angiosperms by 494 and 144 species, respectively. About 59.64% of these species are herbs, 15.96% shrubs, 21.69% trees, 2.26% palms and 0.45% bamboos. Total 73.04% of the species are wild, 19.88% planted and 7.08% cultivated. In this area, Fabaceae with 31 species is the largest family, followed by Asteraceae with 27 species, Apocynaceae with 26 species and Malvaceae with 25 and Acanthaceae with 22 species. Ficus with seven species is recorded as the largest genus, which is followed by Solanum, Hygrophila, Euphorbia, Senna, Phyllanthus, Ipomoea, Hibiscus and Alternanthera. Most of the species are found in fallow lands, roadsides, woodlands, homesteads and scrub jungles and useful as medicine, ornamental, fibre, fruit, livestock feed, soil binder and timber. The floristic composition of this district is still rich, though most of its habitats and ecosystems are vulnerable to natural disasters. Effective conservation plan and measures should be adopted for the precious flora of this coastal district. Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 28(1): 97-124, 2021 (June)

Following death, mollusc shells become elements of thanatocoenoses of bottom and coastal deposits. At the early stages of succession of storm strands, the conservation of mollusc shells in the coastal deposits is high, which allows to obtain a larger number of shells to determine their traits. The probability of finding shells of rare mollusc species in the coastal strands is significantly higher than in bottom grab samples. Therefore, the taxonomic composition of the thanatocoenoses may correspond to the actual composition of mollusc assemblage in the adjacent coastal waters. Determination of the maximum age of molluscs from coastal emissions by sclerochronological methods can be more accurate characteristics of the lifespan of the considered mollusc species. Wind waves are one of the hydrodynamic processes influencing the formation of coastal emissions. The maximum wave activity in the coastal zone of the sea contributes to an increase in the deposition of storm emissions in the coastal zone. Studies of thanatocoenoses of marine molluscs in storm emissions in the north-western part of the Black Sea were carried out at three test sites, differing in the degree of wave load on the coastal zone. Analysis of coastal emissions in different parts of the coastal zone — various distance from the water's edge—allows us to determine the frequency and power of wave activity, as well as to identify the dominant species of macrozoobenthos in each area. The composition and quantitative characteristics of storm emissions created by wave activity of various intensities demonstrates the relationship between benthic biocoenoses of molluscs and thanatocoenoses of the coastal zone. The dominance of bivalve mollusc shells in emissions corresponds to the ruling species of molluscs in benthic biocoenoses. Shells of molluscs of the family Mytilidae were dominant in coastal emissions of the analysed areas. The maximum concentration of aquatic organisms is presented in emissions located near the edge of seawater. A dependence between the total mass of biogenic components in coastal sediments and different distances from the water edge has been revealed for the north-western part of the Black Sea.

The invasion of natural communities by exotic plants, which may turn into invasive or potentially invasive, is one of the most severe known threats to biodiversity, and coastal dunes are among the most affected habitats. Mexico’s coastal dunes are abundant and contain high plant biodiversity but attempts to determine the occurrence and impact of exotic plants are absent. First, we explored the number of invasive plant species found on Mexican coastal dunes. Second, we analyzed if the coastal dune flora native from Mexico acts as a source of invasive species worldwide. We found the relevant spread of exotic plants towards and from Mexico, reaching high percentages: 5% of the coastal dune flora are considered exotic plants; this increases to 8.7% when only plants typical of the coastal dune environment are considered. The Mexican coastal dunes flora is also a relevant source of invasive plants affecting all continents. Furthermore, almost half of the 35 worst worldwide invasive plants (according to the Global Invasive Species Database GISD) grow on Mexican coastal dunes, most native to Mexico and invasive elsewhere. Indeed, the worldwide exchange of coastal dune flora between Mexico and the world seems massive, relevant and highlights the need for worldwide and countrywide management and control strategies.

The spatial distribution of corticolous lichens on the iconic New Zealand pōhutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) tree was investigated from a survey of urban parks and forests across the city of Auckland in the North Island of New Zealand. Lichens were identified from ten randomly selected trees at 20 sampling sites, with 10 sites classified as coastal and another 10 as inland sites. Lichen data were correlated with distance from sea, distance from major roads, distance from native forests, mean tree DBH (diameter at breast height) and the seven-year average of measured NO2 over the area. A total of 33 lichen species were found with coastal sites harboring significantly higher average lichen species per tree as well as higher site species richness. We found mild hotspots in two sites for average lichen species per tree and another two separate sites for species richness, with all hotspots at the coast. A positive correlation between lichen species richness and DBH was found. Sites in coastal locations were more similar to each other in terms of lichen community composition than they were to adjacent inland sites and some species were only found at coastal sites. The average number of lichen species per tree was negatively correlated with distance from the coast, suggesting that the characteristic lichen flora found on pōhutukawa may be reliant on coastal microclimates. There were no correlations with distance from major roads, and a slight positive correlation between NO2 levels and average lichen species per tree.
