From editor or global species database
Genetic nomenclature abbreviation Hemomu [details]Identification H. papietensis was erroneously identified (for a part) as Pyura momus in Monniot C. 1989, and as Herdmania momus in Monniot C. 1992 [details]
From regional or thematic species database
Introduced species remark Israeli part of the Mediterranean Sea - Eastern Basin (Marine Region) Larvae development, metamorphosis and settlement were enhanced and with higher rates of success under the high temperature conditions. Thehigh-temperature adaptation of the Mediterranean population of H. momus from fertilization to adulthood may thus contribute to its expanding distribution in the Eastern Mediterranean. [details]
