Abstract

The genus Amphistegina foraminifera are the most successful invaders as proved by their abundance, ubiquity, and wide extension in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, including the coasts of southern Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. This study presents the first record of Amphistegina lobifera species, which is invading the Monastir bay. The repartition of this non-native species can be intimately linked and ultimately lead to the displacement of native taxa.
