Until today, a complete checklist of Bryozoa of the Greek seas had never been published and species records were scattered in several taxonomic and ecological studies. The aim of this paper is to produce a first checklist of marine bryozoan species of Greece, in the framework of the Greek Taxon Information System (GTIS) initiative of the LifeWatchGreece Research Infrastructure (ESFRI), by reviewing the existing literature and following the recent trends in the taxonomy of this group. .
The marine bryozoan fauna of Greece comprises 237 species, classified in 127 genera, 66 families, 3 orders, and 2 classes. The vast majority belongs to the class Gymnolaemata (177 Cheilostomatida and 21 Ctenostomatida), while the remaining 39 species are Stenolaemata (all Cyclostomatida). Among these species, 12 are considered endemic to the eastern Mediterranean, while another 12 species are non-indigenous.
直至今日,希腊海域苔藓虫的完整清单从未发布过,物种记录分散于多项分类学和生态学研究中。本文的目的是在希腊生命观察研究基础设施(ESFRI)的希腊分类信息系统(GTIS)倡议框架内,通过回顾现有文献并遵循该类群分类学的最新趋势,编制希腊海洋苔藓虫物种的第一份清单。
希腊的海洋苔藓虫动物群包括237个物种,分为127属、66科、3目和2纲。绝大多数属于裸唇纲(177个唇口目和21个栉口目),其余39个物种是窄唇纲(均为环口目)。在这些物种中,12种被认为是东地中海特有种,另有12种为非本土物种。
