Abstract This synthesis is framed within the scope of Brazilian Benthic Coastal Habitat Monitoring Network (ReBentos WG 4: Mangroves and Salt Marshes), focusing on papers that examine biodiversity-climate interactions as well human-induced factors including those decrease systemic resilience. The goal to assess difficulties related detection climate early warning signals from monitoring data. We also explored ways circumvent some obstacles identified.

Ocean currents, driven by gravity, wind, and water density, disperse marine biota worldwide, often leading species to shorelines alive or as carcasses. These carcasses provide vital information about species' health conditions threats within their habitats. Marine animal strandings thus offer crucial insights into the ecological implications of population mortality. This research is instrumental for conservation efforts identifying trends threats. Scientists use human forensics approaches...
Summary The size, structure, and density of a population Lytechinus variegatus were recorded from shallow seagrass bed (Halodule wrightii) at 40-day intervals April 1994 to 1995. A local mass mortality was observed in May 1994. declined 0.57±0.10 0.06±0.05 ind.m−2, mean size 37.6±0.49 16.2±2.14 mm maximum 75 40 mm. Ten months after mortality, the sizes had returned initialvalues, but not (0.10±0.03 ind.m−2). second, smaller occurred High values gonad index before (9.40±5.97) recovery...
Recruits of the mangrove crab Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763), rarely encountered in field were found co-inhabiting burrows larger male and female conspecifics forest. They located sediment inner walls burrow plugs. Average carapace width (CW) hosting crabs was 3.8 ± 0.20 0.9 0.03, respectively. As shown by size-frequency distribution, while most recruits leave conspecific after reaching 1.0 cm CW, some stay until they reach a size 2.5 CW. The results this study contribute to better...
Background The mangrove crab Ucides cordatus is considered a key species for the ecological balance of forests and major source employment income traditional collectors in Brazil. Several studies evidenced weak genetic variation among populations due to an efficient larval transport. However, gene flow patterns poorly understood, with no information about migration rates. influence two main Brazilian currents dispersion also not clear. In order provide baseline conservation, planning...
The exploited mangrove crab Ucides cordatus, an important ecosystem engineer in South American mangroves, has a biphasic lifecycle with pelagic larvae developing offshore. Megalopae return to the forest settle, i.e., metamorphose into benthic juveniles but its environmental drivers remain poorly understood. We postulate that conspecific crabs facilitate recruitment. In field, we investigated whether number of recruits is higher near burrows than areas without bioturbation. Recruit sampling...
O presente artigo traz um diagnostico que integra o processo de planejamento do “Programa Monitoramento da Biodiversidade Manguezais UCs Federais (MoMa)”, ICMBio. objetivo foi levantar e avaliar as pesquisas sobre a biodiversidade manguezais com potencial contribuicao ao monitoramento deste ecossistema. A metodologia envolveu consultas Cadastro Nacional Unidades Conservacao (CNUC), acessos Sistema Autorizacao Informacao em (SISBIO), uma pesquisa junto representantes UCs, responderam...
A pesca artesanal na Reserva Extrativista do Cassurubá, localizada no Extremo Sul da Bahia, é uma atividade de relevância social e econômica acentuada. forma com que esse tipo realizado se dá, tradicionalmente, através utilização embarcações confeccionadas recursos madeireiros. crescente degradação ocupação solo biomas como a Mata Atlântica têm promovido menor disponibilidade recursos, o poderia estar ocasionando um aumento preço das madeiras impactando negativamente as atividades pesqueiras...
