Unveiling Shell Geometry: Morphometric Differences Between the Invasive Mussel Perna viridis and the Native Perna perna

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Perna viridis is an invasive mussel species recently introduced to the southeastern coast of Brazil, where it coexists with the native Perna perna. Morphological similarity between these species, particularly in early life stages, has led to frequent misidentifications, compromising ecological assessments and management efforts.

Fluctuating asymmetry and organosomatic indexes in fish: the Corocoro grunt as a case study (Haemulidae)

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Fluctuation asymmetries (FA) are random on the bilateral symmetry plan of paired morphological characters, and other types of symmetry, such as: for instance, translational or rotational symmetry, in response to environmental, and genetic stress.

The Dark Side of Mucus: Stress‐Induced Mucus Aggregate (SIMA) on Tubastraea Corals in a Heavily Impacted Bay

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the absence of non‐indigenous sun coral Tubastraea in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, despite its presence on nearby islands. Tubastraea corals are known for their high reproductive plasticity and resilience to varying environmental conditions.

A strong CO2 sink enhanced by eutrophication in a tropical coastal embayment (Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2015
In contrast to its small surface area, the coastal zone plays a disproportionate role in the global carbon cycle. Carbon production, transformation, emission and burial rates at the land–ocean interface are significant at the global scale but still ...

Eutrophication triggers diel and seasonal shifts of carbon dioxide and oxygen in tropical urban coastal waters

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 329-339, June 2025.
Abstract Coastal waters play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle, showing increased short‐term variability of dissolved oxygen saturation (DOsat) and partial pressure of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (pCO2), especially in underrepresented tropical eutrophic environments.

Assessing conservation priorities for seahorses in Brazil reveals gaps in current protected areas

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Seahorses are rare and threatened marine species facing increasing risks from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Understanding their distribution is critical for effective conservation planning, yet comprehensive studies are limited, including in Brazil. This study aimed to conduct a gap analysis and identify priority areas for seahorse

BioTIME 2.0: Expanding and Improving a Database of Biodiversity Time Series

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic ...
