Competition for resources with invasive species can negatively impact native fauna. Invasive species often exhibit higher aggressiveness and monopolize resources through behavioral interference. However, their feeding behavior also plays a central role in invasion success. We investigated how food resource availability influences agonistic interactions between the invasive cichlid Oreochr…
1. In biologically diverse ecosystems, an essential process to support competing species to coexist is ecological differentiation. Habitat heterogeneity is, hence, important in establishing species abundance and richness, favoring the coexistence of species due to habitat partition. 2. In this context, shading and species thermal tolerance can be good factors to elucidate the role of habi…
Climate change and biodiversity loss can influence community structure via changes in trophic interactions. The effects of such stressors are variable, leading even to species extinction. However, there is a knowledge gap on the combined effects of those stressors in the community structure and ecosystemic processes. In this present proposal, by an experimental approach, we will evaluate …

Human action has accelerated changes in climate, which impact organisms in different ways, affecting their metabolism, physiology, morphology, behavior, distribution, and even the productivity of the ecosystem. In this work we will evaluate the effects of extreme climate stressors (marine heat waves and coastal darkening) on the amphipod Cymadusa filosa and the macroalga Sargassum filipen…
Climate change has caused abrupt shifts in environmental conditions, increasing uncertainty about how organisms will adapt to this new climate scenario. The global average temperature has already increased by about 1.2°C since 1850. This increase may lead to a loss of homeostasis in animals due to increased energy expenditure, affecting their physiology, behavior, and ecology. Understandi…
Bioinvasion currently persists as a major ecological concern, which can generate several impacts on the ecosystem, being one of the main causes of biodiversity loss. Increasing temperature can enhance the process, which establishing success of non-native species happens when phenotypic plasticity in bioinvaders is larger. Research on thermal tolerance have a very important role in making…
Ornamental aquaculture is a sector that has been showing significant growth, being an activity that can contribute to reduce the pressure on wild stocks, species conservation and scientific research. In Brazil, population of the seahorse Hippocampus reidi have been declining due to environmental degradation and fishing pressure promoted by the ornamental trade. Considered the fifth most e…

Currently, the effects of climate change are already being strongly observed, such as the rise in global temperature. Rising temperatures affect various aspects of animal life, from physiology to behavior, as evidenced by global shifts in species distributions toward the poles, a process often referred to as tropicalization. This poleward migration consists of searching for areas that are…
Climate change driven by human activities has numerous consequences for coastal and marine environments. One consequence of climate effects is increased runoff in coastal areas. Here, we will assess how turbidity (i.e., total suspended particles) and increased browning (i.e., dissolved organic matter) in seawater influence the relationship between marine macroalgae (Fucus vesiculosus, Ect…
Climate change has had a major impact on the marine environment over recent decades. Seawater temperature has increased rapidly and under the most pessimistic IPCC projections is set to increase much further by the end of the century (2100). Different climatic stressors can act together on ecosystems, negatively affecting the maintenance of communities of marine organisms. Early critical …
Marine coastal wetlands are considered Blue Carbon Ecosystems because of their high rates of carbon stocks in the sediment. Estuarine organisms manipulate the sediment matrix through their behavior activities and emit a significant amount of CO2 from sediment to the atmosphere, holding a key role in carbon cycling and climate change mitigation. The fiddler crab Leptuca thayeri is one of t…
