Water samples were collected during six&amp;nbsp;one-day cruises carried out between 2001 and 2004, in two separate marine ecosystems (Gulfs of Korthi and Kastro, southeastern coast&amp;nbsp;of Andros Island). High species diversities (65 species of heterococcolithophores and 45 species of holococcolithophores), associated&amp;nbsp;with the dominant K-selected taxa, Rhabdosphaeraceae, and holococcolithophores, were recorded during summer whereas low diversities&amp;nbsp;coupled with maximum concentration of cells and the predominance of r-selected species (&lt;em&gt;Emiliania&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;huxleyi&lt;/em&gt;) were observed during&amp;nbsp;late autumn-early spring. The coccolithophores of the upper photic zone have been grouped into four distinct communities (&lt;em&gt;Emiliania&amp;nbsp;huxleyi&lt;/em&gt; group, &lt;em&gt;Palusphaera vandelii&lt;/em&gt; group, &lt;em&gt;Rhabdosphaera&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;clavigera&lt;/em&gt; group and &lt;em&gt;Helladosphaera cornifera&lt;/em&gt; group).&lt;br&gt;A taxonomic study of the modern coccolithophores of Aegean Sea is presented. Several combination coccospheres of &lt;em&gt;Algirosphaera&amp;nbsp;robusta&lt;/em&gt; with &lt;em&gt;Sphaerocalyptra quadridentata&lt;/em&gt; have been well documented, therefore their synonymy is proposed and the remaining&amp;nbsp;species of &lt;em&gt;Sphaerocalyptra&lt;/em&gt; have been transferred to the genus &lt;em&gt;Holococcolithophora&lt;/em&gt;. One more holococcolith-heterococcolith&amp;nbsp;association between &lt;em&gt;Corisphaera&lt;/em&gt; sp. type A, &lt;em&gt;Zygosphaera bannockii&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Zygosphaera amoena&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Syracosphaera bannockii&lt;/em&gt; is presented,&amp;nbsp;recombining all taxa into &lt;em&gt;Syracosphaera amoena&lt;/em&gt; comb. nov. A new species, &lt;em&gt;Holococcolithophora kastriensis&lt;/em&gt; sp. nov. is described.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
