The marine areas of South America (SA) include almost 30,000 km of coastline and
encompass three different oceanic domains—the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the Atlantic …

Abstract The Goiana Estuary was studied regarding the seasonal and spatial variations of
microplastics (< 5 mm) and their quantification relative to the zooplankton. The total density …

The seasonal migration of a salt wedge and rainfall were the major factors influencing the
spatiotemporal distribution of ichthyoplankton and microplastics along the main channel of …

Sedimentary remains of fossilizable marine organisms, chiefly microplanktonic ones
(coccolithophorids, silicoflagellates, diatoms, dinoflagellates, radiolarians, foraminifers) have …

Lunar influence on the distribution of fish larvae, zooplankton and plastic debris in mangrove
creeks of the Goiana Estuary, Brazil, was studied over a lunar cycle. Cetengraulis edentulus …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of plastic debris in the stomach contents
of two commercially important species Ethmidium maculatum and Mugil cephalus from Peru …

Many tropical wetlands threatened by land use changes, or modifications in hydrological
regime require effective management policies and implementation to protect them. The …

The green turtle, Chelonia mydas, like other species of marine turtles, shows great migratory
displacement between its nesting and feeding grounds. In an attempt to characterize the …

The community associated to the kelp Macrocystis pyrifera from the Beagle Channel (54 00
S; 68 20 W) was studied. Sixty-eight taxa including Algae (5), Porifera (indet.), Bryozoa (7) …

High-latitude marine environments, such as the Beagle Channel, are highly vulnerable to
modifications related to climate change and anthropogenic impacts, which can rapidly affect …
