The diversity of organisms with cryptic habits in coralline environments is still one of the great challenges in terms of marine biodiversity knowledge. With that in mind, an artificial cubic structure was conceived to assess the cryptic fauna from coral reefs. These devices were named as Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS), and are kept submerged for over 12 months, allowing the…
Deep-sea are among the most challenging environments of the world for conducting research. Hence, deep-sea environments are little known about its ecology and biogeography. Many groups are unique and important to understand this ecosystem, including the Aplacophora-Caudofoveata mollusks. Considering this scenario, the present projects aims to use the caudofoveate as models to understand e…
Mesophotic ecosystems are diverse environments that provide important ecosystem services to millions of people, shelter a rich biodiversity and form a landscape mosaic. With this, the deep refuge hypothesis has been tested worldwide, in which some authors suggest that this environment could replenish shallow areas. However, the biological community structure and vulnerability of the habit…
Ascidians are solitary or colonial marine fouling organisms with sessile and filter-feeding habits. They hold a fundamental ecological role as benthic animals: they can serve as substrates to commensal and parasitic organisms, compete for substrate areas with other benthic animals, and are a source of food for many species. Additionally, they are ecologically important due to their resili…
As a result of climate change, rising temperatures and ocean acidification have a direct impact on biodiversity. Once the physical and biological dynamics of the oceans are altered, ecosystems may have their functionality reduced, with negative effects on associated communities. The present work aims to generate maps of the geographic distribution of the species Gelidiella acerosa for the…

Mesophotic ecosystems are diverse environments that provide important ecosystem services to millions of people, shelter a rich biodiversity, and form a landscape mosaic. These systems are located adjacent to shallow reefs that have been impacted by both local and global factors. Hence, the deep refuge hypothesis has been tested worldwide, and some authors suggest that this environment cou…
The gastropod genus Agathistoma is represented by about 20 extant species. They are relatively small in size and occur in tropical and subtropical waters of the eastern Pacific, Caribbean Sea and the South Western Atlantic. Three species of Agathistoma occur in Brazil: A. viridulum, A. hotessierianum and A. patagonicum. A. viridulum and A. hotessierianum share anti-tropical distributions …
