Corals are the subject of intense scientific, public and, therefore, media interest, particularly because of the uncertain fate of coral reefs in the face of ever increasing anthropogenic challenges. Despite their ecological importance and our economic dependence on them, we know remarkably little about the evolutionary history of this animal group known as the most important shallow and …
Dr. Judith E. Winston's visit is fundamental to continue our 10-years collaboration with her especially in the current stage of our research, in which several co-authored manuscripts are being initiated and/or finalized. During the visit of Dr. Winston (October - December of 2012), we aim to finalize several studies on bryozoans related to five research projects, three of them funded by F…
Sea biscuits and sand dollars diverged from other irregular echinoids approximately 55 million years ago and rapidly dispersed to oceans worldwide. A series of morphological changes were associated with the occupation of sand beds such as attening of the body, shortening of primary spines, multiplication of podia, and retention of the lantern of Aristotle into adulthood. To investigate th…

The genus OKENIA comprises only three species reported from Brazil: O. IMPEXA Marcus 1957, O. EVELINAE Marcus 1957, both with type locality in São Paulo, and O. ZOOBOTRYON (Smallwood, 1910), described for the Bermuda islands. Some authors consider the last two as synonymous, while others disagree with this standpoint. The existence of O. ZOOBOTRYON in Brazil is still uncertain, since it w…
Bryozoans of the genus Scrupocellaria are ecologically and economically important in the oceans of the world. They are important members of fouling communities, including a number of invasive species. The genus comprises more than 90 species, but the lack of faunistic and systematic studies means that knowledge about the range and significance of the wide morphological variation and geogr…

Studies based on DNA sequences have revealed complexes of cryptic lineages for globally distributed bryozoans, challenging the traditional concept among specialists that many of those species are truly cosmopolites. Explorations carried out during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries had reported colonies of Bugula neritina in many tropical and subtropical locations around the globe, a…
