Reefs, mangroves and seagrass biotopes often occur in close association, forming a complex highly productive ecosystem that provide significant ecologic economic goods services. Different anthropogenic disturbances are increasingly affecting these tropical coastal habitats leading to growing conservation concern. In this field-based study, we used visual census technique (belt transects 50 m x 2 m) investigate the interactions between fishes microhabitats at Mamanguape Mangrove-Reef system,...
Ecosystems are linked by the movement of organisms across habitat boundaries and arrangement patches can affect species abundance composition. In tropical seascapes many coral reef fishes settle in adjacent habitats undergo ontogenetic shifts to reefs as they grow. Few studies have attempted measure at what distances from nursery these fish migrations (connectivity) cease exist how abundance, biomass proportion change on along distance gradients away areas. The present study examines...
Monitoring biodiversity at large spatial scales is essential for understanding the impacts of climate change on coastal ecosystems and offering insights environmental management. Here, we compile results four large-scale studies along southeastern Brazilian coast, in which investigate ecological patterns processes rocky shore communities. Altogether, highlighted that abiotic factors, particularly ocean temperature wave exposure, are primary drivers intertidal community composition structure....
Abstract The emergence of functional ecology has changed the focus ecological research from investigating patterns species diversity to understanding how traits relate specific processes generating these patterns. Traits, and can be shared driven by distantly related taxonomic groups. Crossing boundaries among groups is still a challenge critical knowledge frontier in ecology. A cross‐taxa approach, merging trait data across groups, could fill this gap. In context, functionally analogous...
Assemblages of roving herbivores were consistently different between eastern, warmer, sheltered sites and western, colder, more wave-exposed sites. At eastern sites, detritivorous-herbivorous species dominated while omnivores had the highest biomass dominant at western Macroalgivores did not show any trends related to location. These distributional patterns, relatively small spatial scales a few kilometres, mirror large-scale latitudinal patterns observed for studied along entire Brazilian...
The importance of macro-grazers in controlling macroalgal cover has long been recognized on tropical and temperate reefs, with fishes primary the former sea urchins latter. However, functional role herbivorous subtropical marginal reefs remains poorly explored. To evaluate relative this study used exclusion devices (excluding all grazers, fishes, or urchins) at two depths (1-2, 5-6 m) Brazilian rocky reefs. Depth influenced responses within cages, shallow sites changing from patchy barrens...
Acquiring marine biodiversity data is difficult, costly, and time-consuming, making it challenging to understand the distribution abundance of life in ocean. Historically, approaches sampling over large geographic scales have advocated for equivalent effort across multiple sites minimize comparative bias. When cannot be equalized, techniques such as rarefaction been applied biases by reverting diversity estimates numbers samples or individuals. This often results oversampling wasted...
Biodiversity assessment is a mandatory task for sustainable and adaptive management the next decade, long-term ecological monitoring programs are cornerstone understanding changes in ecosystems. The Brazilian Long-Term Ecological Research Program (PELD) an integrated effort model supported by public funds that finance studies at 34 locations. By interviewing compiling data from project coordinators, we assessed efforts, targeting biological groups scientific production nine PELD projects...
