DNA barcoding uncovers two putative new species in Trachelyopterus (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Trachelyopterus is a cryptic genus within the Neotropical catfish family Auchenipteridae with a complex history of taxonomic revisions. Despite the notable morphological and genetic similarities among its species, some studies suggest that the genus harbours greater diversity than is currently recognized, including additional species yet to be

Evaluating the gravity wave energy potential off the Brazilian coast

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography
The wave energy potential on the Brazilian coast is estimated using in-situ buoy data and model data. The results present a greater potential on the southern-southeastern coast than on the northeastern coast, but the variance is also larger.

A new sexually dimorphic species of the armoured catfish genus Neoplecostomus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from Neotropical Atlantic coastal drainages

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Neoplecostomus is described from Neotropical Atlantic coastal drainages, in southeast Brazil. The new species can be readily diagnosed from all congeners by having the first plates of the ventral series reduced in size, rounded and ventrally displaced, resulting in a naked band between ...

Integrative taxonomy of Harveylithon (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) reveals three new species from Korea and expanded diversity in the northwestern Pacific

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐geniculate coralline genus Harveylithon includes 12 species worldwide. In this study, we propose three new species, Ha. koreanum sp. nov., Ha. longiforme sp. nov., and Ha. planiforme sp. nov., based on integrative molecular and morphological analyses.

Polychaetes (Annelida) from Sepetiba Bay (Brazil): an update on species occurrences

Ocean and Coastal Research
Members of several polychaete families inhabit rocky shores, including syllids, serpulids, eunicids, nereidids, and sabellids. The primary studies on consolidated substrates conducted in Sepetiba Bay (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) date back to 2004, with ...

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities in sand bars associated with Ipomoea pes‐caprae: a promising strategy for petroleum spill bioremediation in coastal dunes

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a class of petroleum‐derived compounds known for causing cellular damage and for their recalcitrant behavior, severely limit effective biodegradation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from oil‐contaminated environments can mitigate PAH‐related stress on host plants, highlighting the ...

Spatial and temporal evolution of a coastal erg margin: the Middle Jurassic Page Sandstone, southern Utah, USA

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aeolian deflationary events are erosive to static stages where sediment supply is insufficient to support bedform migration and preservation in the rock record. In the vicinity of shallow‐marine environments, inland rises of relative water table and associated generation of deflationary super surfaces may be driven by the onset of ...

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

International Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.
