Novas Referências de Algas Marinhas Bentônicas para a Flora Brasileira

Reavaliação das características morfológicas e suas implicações taxonômicas no gênero Polysiphonia sensu lato (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta) do litoral dos Estados de São Paulo e Espírito Santo, Brasil

“…De acordo com os autores, P. eastwoodae é uma planta muito rara, vivendo em locais abrigados, banhados por águas quentes, epífita de outras algas e de hidrozoários. P. saccorhiza foi referida pela primeira vez para o Brasil (Atol das Rocas) por Oliveira Filho & Ugadim (1974) …”

The Genus Herposiphonia (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta) in the Coral Reefs Environmental Protection Area, Northeastern Brazil, with new records for Brazil and the Atlantic Ocean

“…Only three species of Herposiphonia are currently known from Brazil: H. secunda (Joly 1965, Baptista 1977, CordeiroMarino 1978, Pinheiro-Joventino et al 1998, Szèchy et al 2004) and H. tenella (Joly 1965, Oliveira-Filho & Ugadim 1974, Baptista 1977, Cordeiro-Marino 1978, Pereira et al 2002, Villaça et al 2006 are both widespread along the Brazilian coast, while H. bipinnata (Yoneshigue 1985, Nunes 2005) is less common. Considering the extent of the Brazilian coastline (more than 8,000 km) (Tessler & Goya 2005) and the fact that 10 species of Herposiphonia were reported in the updated checklist of Wynne (2011) for the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic region, the number of species occurring along the Brazilian coast may well be underestimated.…”

Irrigation Frequency Effects on Growth and Ethanol Yield in Sweet Sorghum

“…The first efforts to study the marine flora of Rocas Atoll were in the 1970s, with the first list of benthic macroalgae species coming from an expedition performed in February 1972 (Oliveira-Filho & Ugadim, 1974, 1976. About 30 years later, Villaça et al (2010) undertook an exhaustive study of the local flora, including seven three-week expeditions between 1999 and 2003, adding 47 new taxa to the previous list of 93 (Oliveira-Filho & Ugadim, 1974, 1976, and three species of crustose coralline algae to the findings of Gherardi & Bosense (1999), summing a total of 143 species known for the atoll.…”

Thus, the knowledge about the marine benthic flora of Rocas Atoll, in terms of species occurrence, has been considered well-established.…”

“…Yet, more than 40 years after the first effort to study the marine flora of Rocas Atoll, followed by extensive and exhausting studies, the occurrence of Halimeda at the atoll has never been reported (e.g. Oliveira-Filho & Ugadim, 1974, 1976Gherardi & Bosense, 1999;Villaça et al, 2010).…”
