Importância ecológica e econômica da Bacia de Campos: ambiente transicional na margem continental do Oceano Atlântico Sudoeste

Branched GDGTs as Proxies in Surface Sediments From the South-Eastern Brazilian Continental Margin

“…The Campos Basin, in the south-eastern Brazilian continental margin, is of particular ecological and biogeochemical relevance because of the great diversity in the pelagic and benthic ecosystems (Falcão et al, 2017) that results from the influence of large to meso-scale hydrodynamic fronts in the region (Brandini et al, 2018). An important feature is the coastal and shelf break upwelling system off Cabo Frio (∼23 • S; Figure 2A), which supports primary production rates of 0.04-0.45 mg C m −2 d −1 (Gonzalez-Rodriguez et al, 1992;Metzler et al, 1997;Brandini et al, 2014).…”

New insights gained from museum collections: new deep-sea species of Typhlotanais (Tanaidacea, Typhlotanaidae) from Brazil

“…In the last 20 years, important projects coordinated by the energy company Petrobras provided a large amount of benthic biological material from offshore Brazil, including tanaidaceans, that is in the process of being studied. With the booming oil industry in the country, in conjunction with environmental laws that charge for impact studies in drilling regions, the Petrobras Company has supported the scientific study of the biodiversity of the deep-sea fauna in key areas such as Campos Basin and Espírito Santo Basin (Falcão et al 2017). As tanaidaceans turn out to be very common and diverse in deep-sea macrofauna samples, they are considered an important component of this environment (Lavrado et al 2017).…”

Geographical coordinates of each sample were recorded with a GPS (Table 1).…”
