Dispersal across the Strait of Gibraltar? García de Lomas, Juan; Ventura, Marc; García, Carlos M.; Caner, Jenny; Jiménez Cantizano, Francisco A.; Alonso, Miguel; Hortas Rodríguez-Pascual, Francisco We report the first record of Linderiella jebalae in the Iberian Peninsula from two temporary ponds in La Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz, southern Spain). This species was described in 2016 in the Moroccan Atlas Mountain range on the other side of the Strait of Gibraltar, 102 km away from this new Iberian location. Sequencing a fragment of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) showed a higher genetic diversity in Morocco, but only one haplotype in the Iberian populations, suggesting recent dispersal from Morocco to Spain, possibly mediated by birds through their annual migrations. This finding increases the diversity of anostraceans in the Iberian Peninsula to 16 species.

These rivers are the main sediment source to Cadiz Bay; a shallow, meso-tidal bay with high subtidal macrophyte coverage and extensive salt marshes that appears to act as an effective filter, retaining fine material and ensuring accretion rates that match sea-level rise. Field observations suggest that the relative importance of the different mechanisms by which macrophyte canopies promote accretion is related to their species-specific biometric properties and zonation. Overall, we argue that the key mechanism which enhances long-term accretion in the bay is related to the reduction of erosive forces on the sediment bed cause by the interaction of plant canopies with local hydrodynamics, particularly during high wind events. Considering the importance of coastal macrophytes for long-term accretion, we briefly discuss how different local and regional management strategies in relation to IPCC climate change predictions may influence terrestrial derived-sediment dynamics.
