“…They also permit the planning of conservation and management policies (Magalhães et al 2005). By documenting the distribution, changes in abundance, and extinction of species, it is possible to characterize and monitor environmental changes and their environmental impacts in the long run (Zaher & Young 2003;Magalhães et al 2005;Senna et al 2013).…”

“…Pycnogonida from the CIPY The degradation of habitats, especially when the causes are anthropogenic, represents a great threat to biodiversity (Senna et al 2013). Aquatic ecosystems are the most strongly impacted (França & Callisto 2007), and the speed of degradation is so high that a large part of the diversity will have been lost before it is possible to document it (Zaher & Young 2003).…”

“…However, a large part of these collections have never been organized or studied (Lewinsohn & Prado 2006), due to a lack of specialists (Marques & Lamas 2006). Considering that Taxonomy has lost space in the scientific domain since the 1980's as a consequence of the popularization of molecular biology (Senna et al 2013), taxonomic studies are in decline, due to a decline in the number of specialists (Zaher & Young 2003). This "taxonomic crisis", in combination with environmental degradation, intensifies the problem of biodiversity loss (Zaher & Young 2003;Senna et al 2013).…”

“…The first natural history museum was founded in 1719 by the Czar Peter the Great, reflecting the habit of collecting and accumulating biological material (Pyke & Ehrlich 2010;Senna et al 2013). The first Brazilian scientific collection was founded in 1818, it was called "Casa dos Pássaros", giving rise to the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro (Zaher & Young 2003).…”

“…The first institutional collections in northeastern Brazil only appeared in the 1950s and 1960s: the Ictiological and Carcinological Collections of the "Instituto de Ciências do Mar -LABOMAR", and other smaller zoological collections. After the 1970s several collections were initiated, including the Invertebrate Collection "Paulo Young" (CIPY) at the Federal University of Paraíba (Senna et al 2013).…”

O estudo da biodiversidade é de extrema urgência, devido principalmente à velocidade dos impactos ambientais que atingem principalmente o meio marinho. Devido a essas alterações, parte da biota encontra-se inacessível em meio natural. Neste sentido as coleções biológicas aparecem como ponto chave, servindo de bancos de dados imprescindível para trabalhos de Taxonomia, Sistemática e Biogeografia, além de diversas outras áreas do conhecimento. As coleções biológicas no Brasil sofrem com a falta de apoio financeiro, falta de recursos humanos (tanto técnicos quanto científicos) e a dificuldade de acesso a informação que nelas está contida. A Coleção de Invertebrados Paulo Young (CIPY) conta hoje com mais de 18.000 lotes tombados dos mais variados grupos de invertebrados marinhos, desde espojas até tunicados. A seção de Pycnogonida, apesar de não possuir tantos exemplares quanto algumas outras coleções, tem sido foco de estudos nos últimos anos, revelando uma grande quantidade de informações importantes para o conhecimento científico, com a descoberta de novas espécies e novos registros para o Brasil. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo divulgar a CIPY, e parte do seu acervo de Pycnogonida que ainda não havia sido publicado.Palavras chave: Pantopoda, aranha do mar, coleção zoológica, bentos.

Natural enzyme inhibitors have been widely described in literature because of its pharmacological and cosmetic applications. Fungi found in caves represent a promising source of bioactive substances that are still little explored scientifically. Thus, the present work evaluated the presence of enzymatic modulators in a filtrate obtained from the cultivation of the cave fungus Lecanicillium aphanocladii (Family: Cordycipitaceae). Snake venoms from Bothrops alternatus and Bothrops atrox were used as an enzymatic source for the induction of the phospholipase, proteolytic, thrombolytic, cytotoxic and coagulant activities. Compounds present in the fungal filtrate inhibited 50, 23·8, 26·6, 50·9 and 52·5% of the proteolytic, phospholipase, haemolytic, thrombolytic and coagulant activities respectively. The filtrate was not cytotoxic on erythrocytes, but induced partial dissolution of thrombi. Fungal enzyme inhibitors that have low or no toxicity and can be obtained on a large scale and at low cost are relevant in the medical‐scientific context. Therefore, the inhibition of phospholipases A2 and proteases observed in the present work highlights the potential of fungal metabolites for the development of drugs that can be used in the treatment of haemostasis and inflammation‐related disorders. Significance and Impact of the Study In this study, secondary metabolites synthesized by Lecanicillium aphanocladii, a fungus isolated from caves, demonstrated modulating action on proteases and phospholipases A2 present in snake venoms of the Bothrops genus, widely used as tools for the study of pathophysiology processes related to haemostasis and inflammation. The results suggest the possibility of future applications for these metabolites in the development of pharmaceuticals of medical‐scientific interest.
