Abstract:

The cirratulid species Chaetozone corona is reported for the first time from the North-east Atlantic waters. Several specimens were collected during oceanographic surveys between 1996 and 2015 from soft bottom habitats along the coasts of Brittany (Western France). This species, originally described from the coast of California, was recently recorded for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. We hypothesize that this species could have been recently introduced to the Atlantic coasts of Europe and colonized the northern coast of Bay of Biscay from the Loire estuary to the Iroise Sea.

The genus Orthopristis includes seven valid species, three from the western Atlantic and five from eastern Pacific, while the available identification guides and taxonomic keys incorrectly recognize Orthopristis ruber as the only valid species found on the Atlantic coast of South America. Efforts to expand the inventory of fish species from the northern coast of Brazil led to the identification of two distinct species of Orthopristis from Atlantic South America, based on the analysis of coloration patterns and meristic data, as well as DNA.

The lionfish is an example of successful invasion and it is the first non-native marine fish to settle along the entire western coast of the Atlantic Ocean, including Fernando de Noronha. So, we present chronological information about the lionfish invasion at Western Atlantic and Brazil.

However, taxonomic identity of Brazilian species remains as a challenge. Two hypotheses to explain the recent records of this species on Brazilian coast are discussed: a recent natural invasion by long-distance dispersa

Species numbers varied widely between locations, but were highest in the tropics and subtropics, lowest in arctic and subarctic waters, and intermediate in mid-latitudes. Percentages of species producing free medusae were lowest in high latitudes, intermediate in low latitudes, and highest in mid-latitudes (especially in estuaries). In a numerical analysis, similar hydroid faunas were identified at locat

The collection of eight specimens of Acanthobothrium cartagenensis on the coast of Quintana Roo, México extends the geographic distribution of the species from the original locality (Cartagena, Colombia) to at least the northeastern limit of the Mexican coast of the Caribbean Sea. The species is a parasite of Urobatis jamaicensis, a common stingray of the tropical western Atlantic. This species has not been reported since the original description in 1980.

AbstractThe distribution and diversity of Pratylenchus species associated with Ammophila arenaria was investigated in its natural range of distribution. Twelve localities with vigorous stands of A. arenaria along the European Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts were sampled. The populations were identified based on morphology and morphometrics, and further characterised based on sequences of the rDNA D2D3 region. Pratylenchus spp. were present in all of the sampled sites. A total of 19 populations were detected belonging to Pratylenchus dunensis, P. brzeskii, P. pratensis or P. penetrans. Pratyl

The Atlantic slave trade extracted kidnapped populations from the entirety of the western African coast between what are now Senegal and Angola, as well as parts of the east African coast in what is now Mozambique.

With such presumptions, ethnic groupings such as Congo, Angola, Carabalí, Ibo, Nagô, Lucumí, Mina, Arará, Koromantee, and so forth were

Snappers of the family Lutjanidae contain several of the most important reef-fishery species in the tropical western Atlantic. Despite their importance, substantial gaps exist for both systematic and ecological information, especially for the southwestern Atlantic. Recent collecting efforts along the coast of Brazil have resulted in the discovery of many new reef-fish species, including commercially important parrotfishes (Scaridae) and grunts (Haemulidae). Based on field collecting, museum specimens, and literature records, we describe a new species of snapper, Lutjanus alexandrei, which is a

The Sea Aster mining bee Colletes halophilus Verhoeff, 1944 is known as an endemic of the western European coasts of the Atlantic and the North Sea. The species has specific habitat requirements and is restricted to coastal habitats with populations of the Sea Aster (Tripolium pannonicum), its preferred host plant. Due to the late summer activity of adults and habitat specialisation, this solitary bee species is easily overlooked. In 2019, C. halophilus was first found at the Baltic Sea coast of the island of Fyn (Denmark), 2020 on the island of Rügen (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany) and in 2

We examined the extent and distribution of allozyme variation among 31 populations throughout the species' range. Averaged across populations, the mean number of alleles per locus (A) was 1.94, the effective number of alleles per locus (Ae) was 1.31, expected heterozygosity

Abstract:

Bedload transport of sediment by waves and currents is one of the key physical processes that affect the evolution of coasts, nearshore areas, and the engineering practices there. Wave skewness and asymmetry, both of which increase as waves shoal, result in a net bedload sediment flux over a wave cycle. The impacts of this mechanism on large-scale coastal and shoreline change are investigated in this study, using field observations and Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Wave Sediment Transport (COAWST), a hydrodynamic process-based numerical modeling system (Warner et al., 2010).
