13. Marcadores orgânicos moleculares como ferramentas no monitoramento ambiental: Avaliação da distribuição de Alquilbenzeno Lineares (LABs) em organismos e sedimentos, como indicativo de exposição ao esgoto em áreas costeiras / Organic molecular markers as tools in environmental monitoring: Evaluation of Linear Alkylbenzene (LABs) distribution in organisms and sediments, as indicative of exposure to sewage in coastal areas
The sewage disposal in coastal areas can cause impacts to marine life, altering the balance of the ecosystem and biodiversity and causing serious diseases in humans. In this study, the concentration of a set of molecular markers for the introduction of organic sewage into the marine environment: linear alkylbenzene (LAB), in samples of sediment, oysters (Cra

14. Macroecologia do zooplâncton continental: padrões latitudinais e componentes locais e regionais na determinação da diversidade global / Macroecology of continental zooplankton: latitudinal patterns and local and regional components in determining global diversity
One of the oldest and best known global biological patterns in ecology is the latitudinal gradient of richness, characterized by a decrease in the number of species from Equator toward the poles. Several hypotheses, even today, attempt to explain the variation that occurs in the pattern of diversity of many animal and plants. Despite the advances that have b

15. Decapod crustaceans from a marine tropical mangrove ecosystem on the Southern Western Atlantic, Brazil
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the biodiversity, relative abundance and frequency of decapod crustaceans in the marine mangrove ecosystem at Gaibu Beach, Pernambuco State, Brazil. A total of eight samples were taken: four in the rainy season (August 2010) and four in the dry season (February 2011), during spring low tides and according t

16. Evaluation of impacts of climate change and local stressors on the biotechnological potential of marine macroalgae: a brief theoretical discussion of likely scenarios
Climate change can be associated with variations in the frequency and intensity of extreme temperatures and precipitation events on the local and regional scales. Along coastal areas, flooding associated with increased occupation has seriously impacted products and services generated by marine life, in particular the biotechnological potential that macroalga

17. Bioprospecting for bioactives from seaweeds: potential, obstacles and alternatives
Seaweeds are potential sources of high biotechnological interest due to production of a great diversity of compounds exhibiting a broad spectrum of biological activities. On the other hand, there is an urgent need for management options for a sustainable approach to the use of marine organisms as a source of bioactive compounds. This review discusses the bio

18. Rhodolith beds in Brazil: a new potential habitat for marine bioprospection
Rhodoliths are the free-living forms of a number of nongeniculate coralline algae. Rhodolith beds are a common feature of subtidal environments and have been recognized as important carbonate producers and paleoenvironmental indicators, as well as recognized as habitat-forming species. The rhodolith structure provides a hard three-dimensional substrate servi

19. Tropical biodiversity: has it been a potential source of secondary metabolites useful for medicinal chemistry?
The use of natural products has definitely been the most successful strategy in the discovery of novel medicines. Secondary metabolites from terrestrial and marine organisms have found considerable use in the treatment of numerous diseases and have been considered lead molecules both in their natural form and as templates for medicinal chemistry. This paper

20. Stakeholder perceptions of decision-making process on marine biodiversity conservation on sal island (Cape Verde)
Na Ilha do Sal (Cabo Verde) existe um crescente envolvimento, vontade e investimento na criação de sinergias turísticas. Contudo, muito do potencial económico da ilha está submerso - a biodiversidade marinha. Devido a este facto, e tendo em vista promover a sustentabilidade ambiental associada ao eco-turismo, vem sendo desenvolvida uma estratégia direc

21. Archaeozoology of marine mollusks from Sambaqui da Tarioba, Rio das Ostras, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
A reference inventory of prehistoric marine mollusks from the Rio das Ostras region was created based on an excavation carried out at the Sambaqui da Tarioba shellmound. Patterns of richness and biogeography were studied, and the representativeness of bivalve and gastropod diversities found at this archaeological site were inferred. A total of 47 taxa belong

22. Caracterização de leveduras do gênero Trichosporon isoladas de três regiões costeiras do Estado de São Paulo / Characterization of Trichosporon spp. Isolated from three coastal regions of São Paulo State, Brazil
Coastal regions are being threatened because they have a predatory and uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources by changing biodiversity. Yeasts are part of the marine ecosystem, though some species are associated with superficial mycoses, subcutaneous and / or systemic. The objective of this study was to quantify yeast, isolation and Trichosporon spp.

23. Toxic Effects of Benzo(a)pyrene on the Red Macroalga Gracilaria birdiae / Efeitos tóxicos de benzo(a)pireno sobre a macroalga vermelha Gracilaria birdiae
Algae show a great biodiversity and occupy many different ecological niches. Besides being essential for the maintenance that allow life on Earth, algae are on the basis of aquatic food chains and they suffer with continuous residue discharge that comes from different human activities. However, once algae are exposed to pollutants, biomarkers can indicate it

24. DNA barcoding of Brazilian sea turtles (Testudines)
Five out of the seven recognized species of sea turtles (Testudines) occur on the Brazilian coast. The Barcode Initiative is an effort to undertake a molecular inventory of Earth biodiversity. Cytochrome Oxidase c subunit I (COI) molecular tags for sea turtle species have not yet been described. In this study, COI sequences for the five species of sea turtle
