The aim of this proposal is to investigate the mechanisms by which rhodoliths, structures formed by coralline algae, play a key role in facilitating and promoting marine habitats, including so-called facilitation cascades. Rhodoliths are often described as "ecosystem engineers" because they modify the environment by creating three-dimensional structures that promote high species diversity…
Rhodoliths are free living nodules formed by coralline crustose algae that constitute unique habitats. These nodules promote the formation of multidimensional micro-habitats which can support a highly diverse community including macroalgae, invertebrates and other organisms. In addition to initiatives to commercially exploit CaCO3 from rhodolith beds, these diverse ecosystems within the B…
The conservation of biodiversity associated with rhodolith beds faces significant challenges due to the scarcity of information regarding their distribution and conservation status. While the global distribution of these habitats is recognized, recent studies indicate that rhodolith beds are more prevalent than previously estimated, underscoring their ecological importance and urgent need…
Rhodolith beds are structures composed of the accumulation of calcified algal nodules that typically occur on sedimentary seafloors. These beds provide a variety of ecological resources, acting as microhabitats for invertebrates, algae, and fish, thereby increasing local heterogeneity and the diversity of associated fauna when compared to other types of seabeds. In 2023, LABECMar revealed…
Understanding the ecological interaction between organisms allows for the knowledge of the functioning and organization of communities. Some species stand out in these interactions as they are considered ecosystem engineers, modulating and providing resources for other species. It is common to find in the literature the association of rhodoliths as ecosystem engineers, which, due to the c…

Landscape ecology seeks to understand how different patterns of spatial organization of landscape units influence ecological processes. Therefore, the structure of the landscape must be identified and quantified before the interactions between landscape patterns and ecological processes can be understood. Seascape ecology emerged from the understanding that the study of the dynamics of la…
Diving tourism represents the main recreational use of marine protected areas worldwide, providing benefits to the society. However, the activity has caused unsustainable negative impacts at many locations, reducing the diversity and complexity of benthic organisms and fish assemblages. This project is inserted in the context of a FAPESP grant (Process 2016/14017-0) which aims to understa…
This proposal is related with the project "XXX" supported by Fapesp process 2016/14017-0. Rhodolith beds are sea bottoms covered by nodules composed of more than 50% of encrusting coralline algae. The ecosystem formed by these sea bottoms have been neglected in actions related to the brazilian marine conservation. Studying the composition and functionality of rhodolith beds and understand…
