dc.description.abstract | Caulerpa taxifolia var. distichophylla, an alien alga in the Mediterranean Sea, was first recorded from the Maltese Islands in 2013. Initial observations suggested that it underwent complete frond regression in winter, possibly due to the colder temperatures. Since then it has spread rapidly and has become abundant in the infralittoral in some localities. The present two-year study on the Maltese populations indicates that the alga is able to resist low seawater temperatures during the winter and is not regressing completely, potentially increasing its ecological impact. | en_GB |
