In the last decades, metal pollution has become one of the most critical environmental and
public health concerns. Human use and processing of trace metals have altered these …

The phytal assemblages change in response to variation in biological and environmental
conditions. In the present study, we evaluated the temporal variation of amphipod …

The brown seaweed Sargassum vulgare is abundant along the coast of Rio de Janeiro
state. An investigation of the spatial variation of antifouling activity was conducted, in which …

We investigated long-term trends in brown macroalgal assemblages inhabiting shallow
subtidal rocky bottoms under the influence of thermal effluent discharge from the Brazilian …

Macroalgal canopies are declining worldwide and are being replaced by low-lying algal
turfs which frequently dominate reefscapes. Their loss may impact reef ecosystems in …

One of the main disturbances caused by coastal nuclear power plants is the discharge of
thermal effluents capable of affecting a number of marine systems, including macroalgal …

We investigated the distribution of epiphytic macroalgae on the thalli of their hosts at eight
localities along the southeastern coast of Cuba between June 2010 and March 2011. We …

RESUMO O epifitismo é uma variável importante no estudo da estrutura das comunidades
marinhas bentônicas. Em costões rochosos, o epifitismo por macroalgas resulta em maior …

Ecological indices are useful tools for environmental managers to monitor and detect
changes caused by natural or anthropogenic disturbances. Despite the fact that descriptors …

In the present study, we evaluate the influence of biotic and abiotic factors on temporal
fluctuations of Sargassum filipendula in a subtropical shore. Monthly algal samples, abiotic …
