First record of Aequoreamacrodactyla (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the Israeli coast of the ea

Digitized taxonomic treatments from a 2015 journal article by Gur Mizrahi and colleagues. The data records the first observation of the alien hydrozoan species Aequorea macrodactyla on the Israeli Mediterranean coast. This finding indicates potential invasive pathways for marine species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Use Cases

• Studying the spread of invasive marine species based on the first record from the Israeli coast.
• Analyzing taxonomic descriptions of Cnidaria based on digitized treatments from the source article.
• Researching alien species pathways in the eastern Mediterranean Sea based on the dataset's subject.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a peer-reviewed journal article published in NeoBiota in 2015.
• The dataset provides a specific first record of an alien species with a clear geographic focus on the Israeli coast.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
