Forest productivity in southwestern Europe is controlled by coupled North Atlantic and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillations [PDF]
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) drives biological responses in terrestrial ecosystems through oscillatory modes of climatic variability. Here, the authors show how landscape scale productivity responses to NAO are contingent upon the Atlantic ...

Black Corals (Anthozoa: Antipatharia) from the Southwestern Atlantic
Black corals (Cnidaria: Hexacorallia: Antipatharia) occur in all oceans of the globe, especially at depths greater than 50 m. However, their richness is underestimated due to the scarcity of studies on this group, especially in deep waters. The south Atlantic is one of the most depauperate regions in terms of our knowledge of antipatharians. Herein, we

Range extension of Scorpaena inermis (Scorpaeniformes: Scorpaenidae) in the southwestern Atlantic [PDF]
Scorpaena inermis is recorded for the third time in the southwestern Atlantic. The known previous records of the species from Brazilian coast was collected Alagoas and Rio Grande do Norte states, prior of which the species was supposed to occur only in ...

Composition and rhythmic variations in the microbiome of Southwestern Atlantic corals. [PDF]
Diel and tidal rhythms can regulate the metabolism, physiology, behavior, and gene expression patterns of different organisms, with evidence of an integration on the circadian behavior of host species and their microbial community. Corals host a diverse and dynamic microbial community, with variable diversity and abundance across geographic and ...

Dramatic ENSO related Southwestern Atlantic ecosystem shifts. [PDF]
Abstract ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) events are becoming more frequent and more intense as climate change continues. Although ENSO effects are known to propagate into the southwest Atlantic, knowledge of how these anomalies result in ecological impacts is yet to be documented.

Lagrangian Drifter Dispersion in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Abstract In the framework of Monitoring by Ocean Drifters (MONDO) project, a set of Lagrangian drifters were released in proximity of the Brazil Current, the western branch of the subtropical gyre in the South Atlantic Ocean. The experimental strategy of deploying part of the buoys in clusters offers the opportunity to examine relative ...

Turbidity shapes shallow Southwestern Atlantic benthic reef communities
Southwestern Atlantic reefs (Brazilian Province) occur along a broad latitudinal range (~5°N-27°S) and under varied environmental conditions. We provide here the database (reef benthic coverage) used by Santana et al.

Mesoscale eddies in the southwestern tropical Atlantic
The southwestern tropical Atlantic is a region of complex ocean dynamic where originates the strong western boundary current system composed of North Brazil current and North Brazil undercurrent. The region includes a variety of features including the Atoll das Rocas (AR) and Fernando de Noronha (FN) ridge that may favour mesoscale eddy dynamics ...
