Coastal habitat mosaics are among the most productive ecosystems around the globe, with
many ecological and social-economic services provided. Their natural challenging …

Ecological guilds have been widely applied for understanding the structure and functioning
of aquatic ecosystems. This study describes the composition and the spatio-temporal …

Anthropic processes degrade quality of estuarine environments, resulting in a worrying form
of water pollution. The objective of the study was to describe and discuss interannual and …

Non‐native fishes are part of estuarine ecosystems worldwide, but especially in temperate
regions. In some estuaries, entirely new assemblages of native and non‐native fishes with …

The present study used multivariate techniques, to analyze the fish species diversity and
distribution patterns in order to determine the possible role of environmental parameters as …

We developed an Ecopath model for the Estuary of Sirinhaém River (SIR), a small-sized
system surrounded by mangroves, subject to high impact, mainly by the sugar cane and …

Coastal habitats are interlinked by ecological connectivity, defined as the exchange of
organic matter or organisms between habitats. The degree of this connectivity will depend in …

Artificial reefs (ARs) have been used globally to increase fish stocks, especially for local
fisheries, but few studies have addressed the seasonal changes in fish attracted to ARs over …

We investigated the trophic niches and the resource partitioning of two snook species, the
common (Centropomus undecimalis) and the fat snook (C. parallelus), in four tropical …

Environmental changes and human activities may have strong impacts on biodiversity and
ecosystem functioning. While biodiversity is traditionally based on species richness and …
