Numerical modeling of the Patos Lagoon coastal plume, Brazil [PDF]
The Southern Brazilian Shelf (SBS) is a freshwater-influenced region, but studies on the dynamics of coastal plumes are sparse and lack in space-time resolution. Studies on the dynamics of the Patos Lagoon plume are even more limited. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the principal physical forcing for the formation and behavior ...

Ichthyofauna of Marinheiros Island, Patos Lagoon estuary, southern Brazil [PDF]
Abstract Marinheiros is the largest island of the estuarine archipelago of Patos lagoon and is considered an area of biological relevance in the coastal region of the extreme south of Brazil. Aiming to contribute to the knowledge on the biodiversity of this important area, we conducted an ichthyofaunistic inventory in the limnic environments of the ...

Hydrodynamic model intercomparison for the patos lagoon (Brazil) [PDF]
An intercomparison study is carried out between two models with different formulations and spatial discretizations in order to overcome the limitations posed by the standard calibration and validation procedures and improve confidence in the hydrodynamic results for the Patos Lagoon. Numerical simulations were carried out applying the TELEMAC and MOHID

Multiple tools to investigate the origin of the exotic species Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum, 1792) (Salmonidae) in the world's largest chocked coastal lagoon. [PDF]
Abstract Salmonid species have increasingly been established in South America for aquaculture and recreational fishing purposes. This study provides the first scientific record of the Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in the Patos Lagoon (32°S), the world's largest choked coastal lagoon.

Tracking the Pulse of the Dunes: Seasonal Metabolic Responses of Liolaemus arambarensis to Climatic Variability. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Seasonal environmental fluctuations profoundly influence ectothermic vertebrates, regulating their physiology, metabolism, and life cycles. This study investigated the metabolic and morphometric seasonal dynamics of the subtropical sand lizard Liolaemus arambarensis, an endangered species endemic to the coastal dunes of southern Brazil.

High Resistance and Biofilm Tolerance to Antimicrobials of Marine Bacteria From Brazilian Deep-Sea Sediment. [PDF]
Antimicrobial resistance and biofilm‐specific tolerance of cultivable Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Brevibacillus and Paenibacillus isolated from deep‐sea sediments of a methane‐seep area off the Southern Brazilian coast. These findings underscore the role of deep‐sea environments as potential reservoirs for antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria (ARB) and ...

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep-sea benthic biodiversity. [PDF]
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).
