Intertidal crabs are abundant, key components of tropical estuaries whose trophic
interactions provide a direct and identifiable link within the ecosystem. Our study …

Although some studies have evaluated the use of Siphonaria lessonii as a bioindicator of
pollution, no study has identified the effects of human activities on the digestive gland, which …

The effect of the chronic anthropogenic disturbance in a coastal area of the SW-Atlantic was
tested through a multimetric-approach. This study integrates environmental variables, biotic …

The polychaete Capitella capitata is historically one of the most commonly used indicators of
organic enrichment in marine benthic environments. However, this taxon has been used to …

The aims of this study were to compare the richness and the population traits of exotic and
native peracarid species in two ports of the Southwestern Atlantic (Mar del Plata: MDP …

Polychaetes belonging to the genus Capitella are known to represent a complex of
opportunistic cryptic species that dominates the macrobenthos of organically enriched …

We studied the population dynamics and reproductive biology of Caprella dilatata and
Caprella equilibra in order to provide the basis for understanding the ecological role of both …

Harbours are important sites for the containment and dispersal of invasive species
throughout the world, so the study of life history traits of species is important to understand …

The diversity and seasonal variations of two assemblages of marine benthic peracarids
were studied between a natural rocky shore and an artificial harbour area over a 12-month …

We have assessed variation in brittle star distribution patterns along a contamination
gradient identified by fecal steroids and aliphatic hydrocarbons in Paranaguá Bay, southern …
