“…This high richness of red algae (Rhodophyta) had previously been observed in surveys in tropical and warm-temperate regions by Kain and Norton 1990, Marins et al 2008, and Torrano-Silva and Oliveira 2013. Among the 21 orders encountered, the most representative were: Ceramiales (Rhodophyta) with seven families and 30 taxa; Bryopsidales (Chlorophyta) with five families and 23 taxa; and Dictyotales (Heterokontophyta/ Phaeophyceae), with one family (Dictyotaceae) being represented by 15 taxa (Figure 2).…”

“…Although the phycological benthic marine flora of Bahia has been relatively well studied (Nunes 1998;Széchy and Paula 2010;Creed et al 2010;Moura 2010;Santos and Moura 2011;Alves et al 2011aAlves et al , 2011bAlves et al , 2012aAlves et al , 2012bAlves et al , 2012cJesus 2012;Almeida et al 2012;Almeida et al 2013;Torrano-Silva and Oliveira 2013;Almeida et al 2014;Moura et al 2014a), there is still much to be discovered about its coastal ecosystems (especially along the extreme northern and southern beaches) and oceanic islands (such as the Abrolhos Archipelago), as well as the Todos os Santos and Camamu bays and their associated islands (such as Tinharé and Boipeba).…”

We report here the results of a survey of the phytobenthos of Boipeba Island, Bahia state, Brazil. Samples were collected during three periods (July 2007 and March and December 2012) in the intertidal regions of offshore reefs near the beaches at Ponta dos Castelhanos, Bainema, Moreré, and Tassimirim. A total of 159 taxa were identified: Rhodophyta (83), Chlorophyta (52), Heterokontophyta/Phaeophyceae (21), Cyanobacteria (02), and Magnoliophyta (01). The most representative orders were Ceramiales (Rhodophyta), Bryopsidales (Chlorophyta), and Dictyotales (Heterokontophyta/Phaeophyceae) with 30, 23 and 15 taxa respectively; vouchers were deposited in the herbarium of the Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana (HUEFS). This work adds 150 new taxa to those already known for Boipeba Island, including Nitophyllum punctatum (Stackh. in With.) Grev., whose occurrence is now confirmed for the coast of Bahia. The number of species identified in this study was elevated in comparison with previous phytobenthos studies undertaken on Brazilian islands.

Background. Recent morphological and phylogenetic studies of Laurencia in the Atlantic Ocean have modified our current knowledge of the group. Approximately 23% of the worldwide generic diversity has been recorded in this region. Goals. Update the checklist of the Laurencia species in the Atlantic and describe the distribution patterns within the genus. Methods. We obtained records of Laurencia species in the Atlantic from a review of the literature and distributional data were used to define areas of endemism through a PAE (Parsimony of Areas of Endemism) analysis. Results. We propose an updated checklist of the 30 currently recognized species of Laurencia in the Atlantic Ocean; this checklist also includes taxonomic synonyms, nomenclatural remarks, and a detailed distribution for each species. The distributional range for the genus in the Atlantic extends from Bermuda and Northern Europe in the North Atlantic to Brazil and South Africa in the South Atlantic. We were able to define four areas of endemism: Brazil with four endemic species, the Gulf of Guinea with four endemic species, the northeastern Atlantic with three endemic species, and South Africa with four endemic species; also documented was one secondary area (Macaronesian Islands) with the endemic species L. viridis. Moreover, 17 of the 30 species of the Atlantic are also distributed in the Indo-Pacific, of which five are amphi-Atlantic species. Conclusions. The patterns found are related to geological events that occurred in the past, a fact that allows us to formulate a vicariance hypothesis about these species biogeographic history. Therefore, future work that will document new species and the clarification of taxonomic problems will allow researchers to continue enriching this hypothesis.
