We have compiled available records in the literature for medusozoan cnidarians and ctenophores of South America. New species are also included. Each entry (i.e., identified or still as yet not determined referred to "sp." literature) includes a synonymy list America, taxonomical remarks, notes on habit, information geographical occurrence. listed 800 unique species, 958 morphotype entries: 5 cubozoans, 905 hydrozoans, 25 scyphozoans, 3 staurozoans, 20 ctenophores. Concerning nomenclatural...
The ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi is one of the most cited invasive species due to its ecological and economical impact that occurred in Black Caspian Seas previous years. Recent reports on presence Baltic North alarmed scientific community. While earliest report M. was spring 2006, this paper indicates Oslofjorden as early autumn 2005, discusses possible invasion routes from native range along eastern coast Americas.
Beroe forskalii Milne Edwards, 1841 is an oceanic ctenophore with a global distribution. The present study provides the first record of for South American Atlantic coast, including redescription species and discussion on utility macrociliary patterns correct identification at least some beroid species, exemplified by comparison ovata (Chamisso & Eysenhardt, 1821).
Recently a new species of bombyliid fly, Marleyimyia xylocopae, was described by Marshall & Evenhuis (2015) based on two photographs taken during fieldwork in the Republic South Africa. This has no preserved holotype. The paper generated some buzz, especially among dipterists, because most cases field provide insufficient information for properly diagnosing and documenting Diptera.
We describe the species richness, distribution and composition of mesozooplankton over continental shelf slope, in water masses Campos Basin, southwest Atlantic Ocean. analyzed from two oceanographic cruises (rainy dry seasons, 2009) with samples taken five different surface to 2,300 m depth. In Subsurface Water (SS), both sampling periods, more were recorded slope (rainy: 100; dry: 128) than 97; 104). Over richness decreased increasing depth: highest values observed South Central (SACW),...
Hydroids are an important component of marine epiphytic communities worldwide. We compiled data from several faunistic, taxonomic, and ecologic studies to prepare a list 200 morphotypes (46 Anthoathecates 154 Leptothecates) their respective phytal substrata. The goal this checklist is support future biogeographical ecological inferences concerning biota.
Abstract Hydroids are one of the most important animal groups colonizing marine macrophytes. This study presents diversity hydroid species in plant substrate samples taken from three points São Sebastião Channel, southeastern Brazil. The selectivity level each was inferred number its occurrences on macrophyte. Red and brown algae, especially belonging to genera Galaxaura Sargassum, respectively, presented highest index epiphytic hydroids. fauna Channel is mostly comprised opportunistic...
The ctenophore fauna of Brazilian coast is poorly known. Only one planktonic species, Mnemiopsis leidyi, was previously recorded for the southeastern coast. present study describes and gives some biological notes this four other species (Beroe ovata, Bolinopsis vitrea, Leucothea multicornis, Ocyropsis crystallina) that occur in area, two which (B. vitrea L. multicornis) are new records subtropical southwestern Atlantic.
Embora abundantes e importantes ecologicamente no meio marinho, os ctenóforos do litoral brasileiro têm sido pouco estudados. O presente estudo tem por objetivo prover informações para auxiliar na identificação desses organismos. Para tal, são descritos métodos de fixação documentação fotográfica dos ctenóforos. A terminologia referente ao grupo, em língua portuguesa, é apresentada forma um glossário. Além disso, as características que distinguem treze espécies registradas águas brasileiras...
Ctenophores are poorly known in the tropical eastern Pacific, including southern coast of Mexico. Previous records ctenophores along Pacific have been provided mainly from northern waters. For Oaxaca state, their occurrence has only mentioned before at phylum level. In this paper, we provide first three for Oaxacan coast, which represent new Beroe forskalii and Bolinopsis vitrea as well record Ocyropsis maculata Pacific. Descriptions these species, a checklist west Mexico provided.
O presente estudo tem por objetivo auxiliar pesquisadores pouco familiarizados com a taxonomia e identificação dos hidrozoários bentônicos, especialmente das espécies que ocorrem sobre substrato vegetal em ambiente marinho, tomando fauna do Canal de São Sebastião como modelo. Métodos para fixação hidróides confecção lâminas identificação, além características distinguem 36 epifíticas são descritas no texto.
Ctenophora are important components of marine ecosystems. However, the South-western Atlantic and Sub Antarctic region still one least studied in world. We report species composition spatial distribution reviewed studies performed this region. New data obtained between 1910 2019, encompassing an area c. 7 million km2 (32–60°S, 34–70°W) were presented published information was added. confirm occurrence nine taxa, seven which have been previously reported Mnemiopsis leidyi Pleurobrachia pileus...
The benthic ctenophore Vallicula multiformis Rankin, 1956 is recorded for the first time in Arabian Sea, from Gulf of Kutch, west coast India March 2013. This occurrence represents a remarkable extension its geographic distribution that until now included only known Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
The siphonophores of the Brazilian coast are poorly studied, despite their abundance and ecological importance. Lensia is most diverse genus within Siphonophora, with twenty-six valid species. A total twenty species recorded for South American marine waters. This study presents morphological descriptions an identification key to that were collected in two oceanographic campaigns throughout southeastern coast. sixty-one specimens photographed, described, schematized measured, fifteen identified.
Eudendrium caraiuru sp. n. is described for the southeastern coast of Brazil. The species was reported previously from area as E. glomeratum, a common Mediterranean Sea. However, morphological, morphometrical and ecological data suggest they are diverging lineages, requiring new specific name Brazilian population.
Thirty colonies of Eudendrium carneum and 100 E. glomeratum, collected on recruitment panels in São Sebastião (SP, SE Brazil), were studied concerning morphometrical parameters compared with data available from other locations. The results show that Brazil has a relatively smaller morphometric variation than glomeratum for areas. Both morphological speciation causes are suggested as possible explanations the high glomeratum.

The ecology of Eudendrium spp. from the Brazilian coast is poorly known, although it already proved to be useful and important as a tool solve some taxonomical problems genus. seasonality reproduction patterns population caraiuru Marques & Oliveira, 2003 were studied. Data sampled test panels immersed in water off Cabelo Gordo de Dentro beach, São Sebastião Channel, Southeastern Brazil, July 1999 2000, every three months. was active throughout study period. Reproductive peaks species...
