Early naturalists suggested that predation intensity increases toward the tropics, affecting fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes by latitude, but empirical support is still limited. Several studies have measured consumption rates across latitude at large scales, with variable results. Moreover, how affects prey community composition such geographic scales remains unknown. Using standardized experiments spanned 115° of 36 nearshore sites along both coasts Americas, we found...
Summary Artificial shading has been highlighted as an important human disturbance, affecting both productivity and community organization. However, studies of have poorly explored from environmental impact perspective. We compared structure on subtropical rocky shores in areas shaded by constructions with those unshaded areas. then implemented a manipulative field experiment to determine the effects macrobenthic community, biofilm biomass larval recruitment. Shading consistently affected...
Abstract Community assembly may not follow predictable successional stages, with a large fraction of the species pool constituted by potential pioneering and successful founders defined through lottery. In such systems, priority effects be relevant in determination trajectories developing communities hence diversity assemblage structure at later advanced states. order to assess how different founder trigger variable community structures, we conducted an experimental study using subtidal...
Trichoderma is recognized as a prolific producer of nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) known peptaibols, which have remarkable biological properties, such antimicrobial and anticancer activities, well the ability to promote systemic resistance in plants against pathogens. In this study, sequencing 11-, 14- 15-res peptaibols produced by marine strain isolated from ascidian Botrylloides giganteus was performed via liquid chromatography coupled high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)....
Higher diversity and dominance at lower latitudes has been suggested for colonial species. We verified this pattern in species richness of ascidians, finding that higher colonial-to-solitary ratios occur the tropics subtropics. At latitudinal region with highest ratio, southeastern Brazil, we confirmed dominate space on artificial plates two independent studies five fouling communities. manipulated settlement to measure effects predation competition growth survivorship versus solitary...
For marine benthic communities, environmental heterogeneity at small spatial scales are mostly due to biologically produced habitat and biotic interactions, while larger factors may prevails over features. In this study, we investigated how community structure β-diversity of hard-bottom-associated meio- macrofauna varied in relation small-scale (cm–m) changes biological substrate (an algae “turf” dominated by the macroalgae Gelidium sp., Caulerpa racemosa sponge Hymeniacidon heliophile) a...
The spatial distribution of organisms associated with marine intertidal macroalgae may be a direct result their tolerance to air exposure or an indirect consequence the host. We compared amphipod assemblages from five investigate relationship algal identity. To test effect height regardless characteristics, we transplanted coralline turfs three different levels within zone and after 1 14 days. Interstitial volume was positively correlated abundance amphipods, suggesting that this attribute...
Abstract Aims The importance of biotic interactions in creating and maintaining diversity is expected to increase towards low latitudes. However, the way which predation affects can depend on how predators mediate competitive also defensive traits prey. Here, we assessed role physical defences prey escape community structure changes across latitude. Location Six sites, three regions distributed 45 degrees latitude Atlantic Ocean: a tropical region Angola, subtropical Brazil temperate Wales,...
The city of São Sebastião (SS), in south-eastern Brazil, is one the hotspots for marine research since establishment Centre Marine Biology University Paulo 1960s. SS region experienced intense transformation during past 50 years, including increasing urbanization and construction maritime facilities. Ascidian surveys years have found 62 species, eight which were described as new 12 are introduced. Didemnidae Styelidae most speciose families Channel, with 20 15 species respectively. Phallusia...
Fractionation of extracts from the culture broth marine-derived fungus, Paecilomyces sp. 7A22, resulted in isolation harzialactone A (HA), a known compound previously isolated fungi marine environments. The chemical structure HA was determined by spectroscopic analyses. Upon evaluation on antileishmanial assays against Leishmania amazonensis, exhibited significant activity promastigotes forms with IC50 5.25 µg mL−1 and moderate intracellular amastigotes 18.18 mL−1. This is first report HA,...
Abstract The introduction of exotic species is one the major causes for biodiversity loss in marine environments. Introduced can change habitat complexity, impacting local communities and altering ecosystem functioning. Since 1980s, scleractinian Tubastraea coccinea Tubastraea. tagusensis (commonly known as sun corals) have been spreading south‐western Atlantic, posing a threat to ecosystems. Nowadays, these are reported from more than 3,500 km along Brazilian coast on at least 21 oil gas...
Abstract Increasing habitat modification and species loss demand consistent efforts to describe understand biodiversity patterns. The BIOTA/FAPESP Program was created in this context it has been a successful initiative promote studies on conservation Brazil. BIOTA/Araçá is an interdisciplinary project that provided detailed evaluation of the Araçá Bay, coastal seascape located North coast state São Paulo, Southeast bay encompasses multiple habitats, such as beaches, mangroves, rocky shores,...
The serpulid Hydroides elegans is recognized as an invasive species in many harbour areas of the world, growing mainly on man-made structures such pier pilings, where native diversity low. In addition, because they build large aggregations calcareous tubes, this increases maintenance and fuel costs vessels. While H. well known for North Atlantic, Europe, Caribbean Pacific Ocean, detailed information South Atlantic missing. last decade, owners boats moored at Clube Naval Charitas (CNC),...
Summary 1. Mothers must balance the fecundity costs of increasing propagule size with fitness benefits increased performance, and size‐performance relationship is crucial for determining this trade‐off. 2. While many studies have examined in individual life‐history stages, very few between performance across multiple stages despite ubiquity complex life cycles. 3. We consistency several marine invertebrate Microcosmus squamiger (Ascidiacea). 4. Propagule had effects some not others: larger...
