    Description: New data on 52 non-indigenous mollusks in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea is reported. Fossarus sp. (aff. aptus sensu Blatterer 2019), Coriophora lessepsiana Albano, Bakker & Sabelli, sp. nov., Cerithiopsis sp. aff. pulvis, Joculator problematicus Albano & Steger, sp. nov., Cerithiopsis sp., Elachisina sp., Iravadia aff. elongata, Vitrinella aff. Vitrinella sp. 1 (sensu Blatterer 2019), Melanella orientalis, Parvioris aff. dilecta, Odostomia cf. dalli, Oscilla virginiae, Parthenina cossmanni, Parthenina typica, Pyrgulina craticulata, Turbonilla funiculata, Cylichna collyra, Musculus coenobitus, Musculus aff. viridulus, Chavania erythraea, Scintilla cf. violescens, Iacra seychellarum and Corbula erythraeensis are new records for the Mediterranean. An unidentified gastropod, Skeneidae indet., Triphora sp., Hypermastus sp., Sticteulima sp., Vitreolina cf. philippi, Odostomia (s.l.) sp. 1, Henrya (?) sp., and Semelidae sp. are further potential new non-indigenous species although their status should be confirmed upon final taxonomic assessment. Additionally, the status of Dikoleps micalii, Hemiliostraca clandestina comb. nov. and H. athenamariae comb. nov. is changed to non-indigenous, range extensions for nine species and the occurrence of living individuals for species previously recorded from empty shells only are reported. Opimaphora blattereri Albano, Bakker & Sabelli, sp. nov. is described from the Red Sea for comparison with the morphologically similar C. lessepsiana Albano, Bakker & Sabelli, sp. nov. The taxonomic part is followed by a discussion on how intensive fieldwork and cooperation among institutions and individuals enabled such a massive report, and how the poor taxonomic knowledge of the Indo-Pacific fauna hampers non-indigenous species detection and identification. Finally, the hypothesis that the simultaneous analysis of quantitative benthic death assemblages can support the assignment of non-indigenous status to taxonomically undetermined species is discussed.

    Description: The Distributed System of Scientific Collections (DiSSCo) is a pan-European Research \nInfrastructure (RI) initiative. DiSSCo aims to bring together natural science collections from \n175 museums, botanical gardens, universities and research institutes across 23 countries \nin a distributed infrastructure that makes these collections physically and digitally open and \naccessible for all forms of research and innovation. DiSSCo RI entered the ESFRI \nroadmap in 2018 and successfully concluded its Preparatory Phase in early 2023. The RI \nis now transitioning towards the constitution of its legal entity (an ERIC) and the start of its \nscaled-up construction (implementation) programme. This publication is an abridged \nversion of the successful grant proposal for the DiSSCo Transition Project which has the \ngoal of ensuring the seamless transition of the DiSSCo RI from its Preparatory Phase to \nthe Construction Phase (expected to start in 2025). In this transition period, the Project will \naddress five objectives building on the outcomes of the Preparatory Phase project: \n1) Advance the DiSSCo ERIC process and complete its policy framework, ensuring the \nsmooth early-phase Implementation of DISSCo; \n2) Engage & support DiSSCo National Nodes to strengthen national commitments; \n3) Advance the development of core e-services to avoid the accumulation of technical debt \nbefore the start of the Implementation Phase; \n4) Continue international collaboration on standards & best practices needed for the \nDiSSCo service provision; and \n5) Continue supporting DiSSCo RI interim governance bodies and transition them to the \nDiSSCo ERIC formal governance. \nThe Project\xe2\x80\x99s impact will be measured against the increase in the RI\'s overall \nImplementation Readiness Level (IRL). More specifically, we will monitor its impact towards \nreaching the required level of maturity in four of the five dimensions of the IRL that can \nbenefit from further developments. These include the organisational, financial, \ntechnological and data readiness levels.
