Zoological collections deposited in museums have a central role in the study of animal diversity. The State of Sao Paulo currently has five institutions that maintain partial or particular collections of marine invertebrates, including the Museum of Zoology of the State University of Campinas (ZUEC). The ZUEC Museum has been contributing significantly to the Brazilian scientific collectio…
The Antarctic continent harbors macrobenthic fauna with high endemism due to its distinct physical and chemical conditions shaped by geological history, which promoted geographic isolation and restricted marine organism dispersal. Among macrobenthic taxa, echinoderms stand out for their abundance and ecological role in structuring marine communities. Ophiuroids (brittle stars) are the mos…
The Ocean Decade aims to meet the goals of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Number 14 (Life below Water) and promote Ocean Literacy to raise awareness about the importance of the oceans. Ocean Literacy seeks to raise awareness among the population about the oceans and encourage conservation, protection and sustainable use of the seas. To achieve SDG 14, it is essential to have quality,…
The Amphiuridae family is considered to be the largest and most diverse among the Ophiuroidea, with more than 50 genera described, many of which still have taxonomic problems, with overlapping diagnostic characters that make it difficult to separate taxa, such as Amphipholis and Microphiopholis, the latter of which was reclassified to include species of Amphipholis that had very small dis…
This project aims to conduct a taxonomic study to secure recognition of species of the genus Ophiocoma, Ophiocomidae family with occurrence in Brazil. This taxon was chosen because of its morphological characters considered inconsistent, making thus the delimitation of their species. The study in question will be held from morphological analysis of diagnostic structures, with the aid of m…
This project aims to study the taxonomic status of species of the suborder Ophiodermatina (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea), which includes Ophiocomidae, Ophiodermatidae and Ophiomyxidae. These families present several taxonomic problems, belong to the same clade and have been highlighted in recent publications. The study will be carried out through the integrative taxonomy and will address an…
