Four new species of Paranaitis are described from estuarine and continental shelf bottoms southern southeastern Brazil: chitinosa sp. nov., P. cirriformata assimetrica cordiformata nov. is diagnosed by a proboscis with rows conical chitinous papillae alternating dorsal bars, the distal extremity covered micropapillae, cirri rounded asymmetrical. similar to speciosa (Webster, 1879), previously recorded Brazil, but differs presence long slender anal cirri. supra-acicular lobes that...
Herein we provide a taxonomic revision of Phyllodoce species from Brazil, describing 10 new in addition to two records, longipes Kinberg, 1866 and cf. madeirensis Langerhans, 1880. sp. A. B. are probably but the number condition available specimens do not adequate reliable diagnostic features for formal description. These have been collected diverse marine estuarine environments shallow bottoms continental shelf slope sediments submarine canyons off southern southeastern Brazil. A key...
A checklist of all currently accepted species Grania Southern, 1913 (Annelida, Clitellata, Enchytraeidae) is presented. The genus widespread over the world and comprises 81 described to date. Remarks on their geographical distribution, habitat, synonymies museum catalogue numbers are provided.
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 Estuaries are unique coastal ecosystems that sustain and provide essential ecological services for mankind. Estuarine include a variety of habitats with their own sediment-fauna dynamics, all them globally undergoing alteration or threatened by human activities. Mangrove forests, saltmarshes, tidal flats other confined estuarine systems under increasing stress due to activities leading habitat species loss. Combined changes in hydromorphology climate pose severe threats on global...
Abstract This study describes the distribution patterns of interstitial polychaetes along morphodynamic gradients on six exposed sandy beaches in Santa Catarina and Paraná (South Brazil). Three random transects were sampled at two points each beach, one swash another surf zone, winter summer conditions. Six sediment replicates collected sampling point using a corer 4.6 cm internal diameter that removed 10 into sediment. Abundance composition polychaete correlated to wave height, slope, grain...
We tested experimentally the hypothesis that prevailing locomotion/feeding strategies and body morphology may lead to more active dispersal of free-living marine nematodes, besides passive transport. Neutral Red was applied sediment inside cores red plume formed during flood tide divided into near, middle, distant zones. At 0.5 m 1 from stained cores, sampling nets were suspended 5 10 cm above sediment-water interface. Dispersion behaviors defined as a function a) numbers recaptured...
