Article
Full-text available
The Brazilian continental margin (BCM) extends from the Tropical to the Subtropical Atlantic Ocean, with much of its seafloor within deep waters, supporting rich geomorphological features and under wide productivity gradients. Deep-sea biogeographic boundaries on the BCM have been limited to studies that used water mass and salinity properties of d...

The iAtlantic Project has established an international collaborative strategy to improve mapping and characterization of deep and open ocean ecosystems in understudied regions of the Atlantic and evaluate their health. In December 2022, the first iAtlantic expedition in the South Atlantic set off to map and explore seafloor ecosystems in the Santos...
Chapter
In the region of Brazil, cold-water corals are distributed from the Equatorial to the Southern Brazilian margins and on nearby seamounts, mainly between 250 and 1200 m water depth, forming reefs, carbonate banks, and octocoral gardens. Larger reef structures formed by Lophelia pertusa are only known from the Southeast-Southern (SE-S) slope, with de...

Abyssal ecosystems comprise more than 50% of the Earth's area and constitute an important reservoir in the global carbon cycle. With ocean productivity expected to decrease due to global warming, these ecosystems could face significant impacts in the coming decades. Benthic macrofauna are a key component of the seafloor carbon and nitrogen cycles,...
Article
Full-text available
Ecosystem functioning, i.e. the transfer of material through a system, supports the ecosystem services deep-sea sediments provide, including carbon sequestration, nutrient regeneration, and climate regulation. To date, seven studies globally have researched in situ how various benthic groups contribute to organic matter degradation in abyssal sedim...

Sailing on scientific expeditions as an early career researcher (ECR) offers the beneficial opportunity to gain field experience and training. However, the number of available berths to achieve the scientific goals of an expedition limits the number of onboard participants. Telepresence and remote learning can be utilized to increase the number of...
Data
This dataset contains species occurrences of deep-sea benthic fauna distributed along the Brazilian Continental Margin (BCM). Existing records from published databases accessible online were synthesized to derive the deep-sea benthic diversity of the Brazilian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Only records that had been identified to species level and...

Hygrosoma petersii (A. Agassiz, 1880) is a regular deep-sea urchin from the family Echinothuriidae that has undergone numerous taxonomic changes throughout history. It is characterized by the presence of tridentate pedicellariae with spoon-shaped valves with a serrated edge. The geographic distribution of Hygrosoma petersii is extended to the Colom...

In order to contribute to the baseline of knowledge that is being built of the Gerlache Strait and the adjacent areas, the echinoderms collected during the Scientific Expeditions from Colombia to Antarctica carried out between 2016 and 2019 as part of the project “Biodiversity and oceanographic conditions of the Gerlache Strait, Biogerlache-Antárti...

Knowledge on the status and trends in marine biodiversity, and associated drivers of biodiversity change across the Americas is sparse and geographically uneven. International cooperation is needed to fill observational gaps at these geographic scales and provide information to satisfy policy targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development a...

Presentation
The Institute of Marine and Coastal Research - INVEMAR, in 2014, begins the development of its Antarctic scientific agenda with three fronts of work focused on: climate change, conservation and biodiversity. Since then has participated in three of the five Scientific Expeditions of Colombia to the Antarctic, with the project Biodiversity and Oceano...

The geographic distribution of Ophioblenna antillensis Lütken, 1859 is extended inside the Gulf of Mexico. This species is otherwise known in the Caribbean region as the “slimy snake of the Antilles”, and is recognizable by soft skin covering the entire body, arms 5 times the disc diameter with big dorsal arm plates, and 7 completely naked, pointed...

Recently, populations of flies have increased in numbers given the elevated levels of organic matter waste produced by anthropic activities and domestication of animals. Such increase represents a worldwide health concern, since flies can be vectors of human diseases. The great variety of feeding and developmental habits of flies of the family Sarc...
