| الوصف: | Identifying species and updating marine biodiversity is fundamental to understanding the evolution of ecosystems and adopting appropriate management strategies. These ecosystems are threatened by climate change causing species mobility, mortality, etc. An important zoological group in the marine ecosystem, octocoral gorgonians have a wide geographic and bathymetric distribution. However, the knowledge of their presence on the Atlantic West African coasts remains limited. Herein, we note the accurate geographic distribution of two species,Leptogorgia dakarensis(Stiasny, 1936) andEunicella racemosa(Milne Edwards & Haime, 1857), reporting their northern distributional limits. The gaps in the previous knowledge hypothesis of the oceanic warming effects explaining the northward mobility of these species are discussed here. |
