The continental shelf of the South Brazilian Bight (Lat 23–28.5° S) is subject to bottom
intrusions of the oceanic and nutrient-rich South Atlantic Central Waters (SACW) in summer …

Zooplankton growth rates ultimately shape the functional response of marine ecosystems to
regional and global climate changes, because they determine the quantity and distribution …

Abstract The South Brazilian Bight (23–28.5° S; SBB) is a typical western boundary current
system with a wide shelf and which has high ecologic and economic importance, supporting …

Euphausiids and mysids are important components of pelagic ecosystems due to their high
abundance and tendency to form dense aggregations, swarms, and schools, which …

At the mouth of the Amazon River, a widespread carbonate ecosystem exists below the river
plume, generating a hard-bottom reef (∼ 9500 km2) that includes mainly large sponges but …

Copepods are one of the most abundant and diverse live food sources for mesopelagic and
bathypelagic fishes and crustaceans. They could contribute to the overlap of the transition …

Copepods are important ecological indicators of ecosystem functioning. In this study, we
analyzed the structure of copepod assemblages and cross-shelf patterns based on …

The dynamics of the copepods A. tonsa and A. lilljeborgii were described for the first time in
the Taperaçu Estuary. The acartiids were collected using plankton nets (200 μm) in June …

We examined the relationship between pollution and structure of copepod assemblages in
estuaries, using sampling standardization of salinity range to reduce the effects of “Estuarine …

Mesozooplankton was sampled seasonally in a large microtidal estuary (Peel-Harvey)
suffering from massive macroalgal growths and cyanobacterial blooms. Comparisons with …
