Abstract Seagrasses are an important coastal habitat worldwide and indicative of environmental health at the critical land–sea interface. In many parts world, seagrasses not well known, although they provide crucial functions values to world's oceans human populations dwelling along coast. Established in 2001, SeagrassNet, a monitoring program for worldwide, uses standardized protocol detecting change seagrass capture both parameters variables. SeagrassNet is designed statistically detect...
Abstract Seagrass meadows are among the most threatened ecosystems on earth, raising concerns about equilibrium of coastal and sustainability local fisheries. The present review evaluated current status research seagrasses submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) habitats off coast Brazil in terms plant responses to environmental conditions, changes distribution abundance, possible role climate change variability. Despite an increase number studies, communication results is still relatively...
Abstract The transport of passively dispersed organisms across tropical margins remains poorly understood. Hypotheses oceanographic transportation potential lack testing with large scale empirical data. To address this gap, we used the seagrass species, Halodule wrightii , which is unique in spanning entire Atlantic. We tested hypothesis that genetic differentiation estimated its large-scale biogeographic range can be predicted by simulated transport. alternative posits dispersal independent...
The present paper presents the first population data for Southern Hemisphere of rare seagrass Halophila baillonis. studied is located in a calm, reef-protected area at depths ≤ 5 m, covering 12,000 m2 (400 m long by 30 wide, oriented parallel to coastline). generally demonstrated low shoot density and biomass during rainy season, with significant differences between seasons, being found only aboveground biomass. Despite identification this new population, species continues be considered...
The ongoing environmental crisis, driven by biodiversity loss and climate change, raises concerns about the impacts on marine systems human well-being. These environments provide crucial ecosystem services valued at approximately USD 74.5 trillion·year−1 globally. Seagrasses support fisheries, protect coasts, help mitigate maintain biodiversity, food security, enhance water quality. However, comprehensive assessments of seagrass (SESs) their are lacking. Focusing Brazilian southwest...
Malnutrition effect during the suckling period on aggressive behavior was investigated in adult rats treated and not with fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Sixty-four Wistar male were allocated two groups, according to their mothers' diet lactation. The well-nourished group fed by mothers receiving 23% protein diet; malnourished one 8% diet. Following weaning, all received On 90th day after birth, each nutritional divided into subgroups, single daily injection of...
Multiple stress mechanisms have caused a worldwide decrease in seagrasses, which are vulnerable to environmental and/or anthropogenic pressure. The loss of seagrass meadows Halodule wrightii is reported for the littoral Itamaracá Island (Northeastern Brazil). present study identified main factors that negatively influenced over abundance and distribution between July September 2007 at Jaguaribe Pilar Beaches, Eastern Itamaracá. Anthropogenic impact included discharge untreated sewage through...
The repercussion on the immune response of expression intraspecific aggressiveness in face a stressor agent was investigated rats. Ninety-day-old animals were divided into three groups: control group (only immunological measurements performed), foot-shock (FS) (animals individually receiving FS), and aggressive (IAR) FS presenting IAR). For measurements, blood samples collected promptly at 7 15 days after or IAR. reduced total leukocyte amount presented. However, triggered not only reduction...

O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar quatro populações de Halodule wrightii no litoral norte Alagoas, nordeste brasileiro. Entre novembro 2011 e janeiro 2012 foram coletadas 12 amostras por praia, sendo mancha, sempre se evitando as bordas. Em laboratório determinadas a densidade, biomassa, o comprimento largura folhas, com diferenças entre os pontos coleta analisadas pelo teste t ANOVA one-way. Constatou-se significativas nas características morfológicas populações, plantas Barra Grande...
Abstract: We present a checklist for the aquatic biodiversity from two reservoirs within PPBio (Biodiversity Research Program) site in peri-urban forest fragment, Dois Irmãos State Park (PEDI), Pernambuco, Brazil. obtained data via extensive field collection and information specialized literature survey. recorded 397 species 156 families; animal was most abundant group (140 species) followed by fungi taxa (103), periphyton (69), macrophytes (44), terrestrial plants flooded areas (41). This...
This study evaluated the influence of shoot density shoal grass Halodule wrightii on composition associated algal community, in rocky and sandy habitats coast Ceará northeastern Brazil. The phycological community included 18 species 10 families, members Rodophyta (72.2%), Chlorophyta (22.2%) Phaeophyceae (5.5%). largest proportion were epilithic (50%), followed by epiphytes H. (38.4%), epipsammics (8%), other algae (4%). Epiphytes occurred mainly with rhizomes, but also tendrils musciformis...
Seagrass ecosystems are globally important blue carbon sinks which support significant marine and terrestrial biodiversity. However, human-induced climate change coupled with other anthropogenic stressors have substantially reduced seagrass distributions, making them one of the most threatened on Earth. The challenges associated conservation include large data gaps limited low-cost, near-real time methods for monitoring their distribution. Particularly, Brazilian biota is severely hindered...
