    First report of Microspongium globosum Reinke (Phaeophyceae, Myrionemataceae) in the Mediterranean Sea
    (2006) Taşkin E.; Öztürk M.; Wynne M.J.
    Microspongium globosum Reinke (Phaeophyceae, Myrionemataceae) is reported for the first time in the Mediterranean Sea. This species was collected growing as an epiphyte from the Dardanelles (Sea of Marmara, Turkey) in the midlittoral zone (-1 m). Thalli formed small clumps, or tufts, 0.5-1.0 mm in diameter, consisting of branched erect filaments. Only plurilocular sporangia were observed. A key to the Mediterranean species of Microspongium is provided. © 2006 J. Cramer in der Gebrüder Borntraeger Verlagsbuchhandlung.

    Cylindrocarpus kuckuckii sp. nov. (Chordariaceae, Phaeophyceae), a newly recognized species from the Aegean Sea (Turkey)
    (2010) Taskin E.; Wynne M.J.; Öztürk M.
    Cylindrocarpus kuckuckii sp. nov. (Chordariaceae, Phaeophyceae) is described on the basis of two collections from Ayvalik, Turkey (Aegean Sea). This taxon has been recognized for more than a century by several workers, starting with Kuckuck (1899), as a form of C. microscopicus which is the type and hitherto only recognized species in the genus. Evidence is presented here that C. kuckuckii can be distinguished from C. microscopicus at the species level by its epilithic habit, the pseudodichotomous nature of its erect branches, the larger sizes of the cells of the assimilatory filaments, the relatively larger size of the plurilocular sporangia and its larger overall thallus dimensions. © 2010 J.

    Proposal of Gelidium serra (S.G. Gmel.) comb. nov. to replace Gelidium bipectinatum G. Furnari (Rhodophyta)
    (University of Florence, 2013) Taşkin E.; Wynne M.J.
    Evidence is presented to recognise the poorly known name Fucus serra S.G. Gmel. as a member of Gelidium and that it is an older and available name for the taxon currently known as Gelidium bipectinatum G. Furnari (in Furnari et al.). Gelidium serra (S.G. Gmel.) E. Taşkin & M.J. Wynne comb. nov. is proposed. Plate 8, Figure 3 in Buxbaum ("Fucus humilis"), which was part of the protologue in Gmelin's account of Fucus serra, is herein designated the lectotype of Fucus serra S.G. Gmelin. A collection made by J. Feldmann now in MICH is proposed to serve as the epitype of Gelidium serra. © 2013 Dipartimento di Biologia, Università di Firenze.

    First report of the red alga Gayliella fimbriata in the Mediterranean Sea
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2015) Taşkln E.; Çaklr M.; Wynne M.J.
    The red alga Gayliella fimbriata (Ceramiaceae, Rhodophyta) is reported for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. This species was collected growing as an epiphyte on Laurencia obtusa in the sublittoral zone at Antalya (Mediterranean coast of Turkey). Gayliella fimbriata is characterized by its protruding clavate gland cells. Features to distinguish the four Turkish species of Gayliella from one another are provided. © 2015 by De Gruyter 2015.

    First report, based on morpho-Anatomical data, of the green alga Pseudocodium okinawense (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) in the Mediterranean Sea
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2018) Taşkln E.; Wynne M.J.; Baklr N.
    The green alga Pseudocodium okinawense is reported for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. The collection of this species from a 54-m depth on a sandy-mud bottom on August 2017 near Kalkan, Turkey, also represents the first report of the genus Pseudocodium from the Mediterranean. The species was previously reported from southern Japan (type locality, Okinawa), Indonesia, New Caledonia and Papua New Guinea. Oil tankers and the several permanent/semi-permanent man-made structures are the likely vectors of introduction. © 2018 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston 2018.
