“…Currently, considering all resident endemic reef fishes, endemism in the Brazilian Province is responsible for 94% of the endemism level of the entire SWA. However, records of vagrants Brazilian endemics outside Brazil—15 species in the Caribbean, Mid‐Atlantic Ridge and/or eastern Atlantic, and seven in the Argentinian Province (Galván, Venerus, & Irigoyen, ; Freitas et al., ; present paper), may decrease the number of Brazilian endemics (see Rocha, ) to 89 species (from 26% to 22%). Moreover, the number and level of endemism in the continental shelf are greater than previously suspected (Floeter et al., ; Rocha, ), reaching 17%.…”

“…Most Brazilian endemic reef fishes are closely related to Caribbean congeners, but immigration from the eastern Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, as well as speciation at Brazilian oceanic islands, have been important for diversification (Floeter et al., ; Pinheiro et al., ). Furthermore, the SWA exports biodiversity to the Mid‐Atlantic Islands and eastern Atlantic, as well as genetic diversity and taxa to the Caribbean (Beldade et al., ; Floeter et al., ; Freitas et al., ; Rocha et al., ) through a biodiversity feedback mechanism (Bowen, Rocha, Toonen, & Karl, ).…”

Aim To present an updated database of fish species recorded on south‐western Atlantic reef environments and to explore the ecological drivers of the structure, the latitudinal gradient of biodiversity and the centre of endemism in this peripheral province. Location South‐western Atlantic (SWA): Brazilian and Argentinian Provinces. Methods A database composed of 733 fish species along 23 locations in the SWA (00°55′ N to 43°00′ S) was compiled based on primary data, literature and museum records. Cluster and beta diversity analyses were carried out to evaluate faunal overlaps among locations and subprovinces. “Target‐area‐distance effect” and “stepping stones dispersal” hypotheses for assemblage composition were tested through Mantel tests. Relationships between the distribution patterns and ecological traits of reef fish species were investigated through generalized linear mixed‐effect models. Results Out of the 733 fish species, 405 are SWA resident reef fishes, of which 111 (27%) are endemics and 78 are threatened with extinction. Cluster analysis detected six subprovinces in the SWA structured following the target‐area‐distance model, and with no evidence for a latitudinal gradient in diversity. The greatest overall richness and endemic species richness were found in the east–south‐eastern region. Depth range, habitat use and body size were the main drivers of SWA reef fish assemblage structure. Main conclusions The Brazilian and Argentinian coasts constitute different provinces structured by oceanographic barriers and environmental filters. Similarities among oceanic islands indicate connectivity driven by stochastic and ecological factors. Species richness and endemism indicate that peripheral provinces may also bear centres of origin and biodiversity, patterns driven by parapatric/ecological speciation and the overlap between tropical and subtropical reef fish species. Ecological drivers of reef fish distribution, such as habitat specialization and body size, support hypotheses of speciation in the periphery. New approaches for spatial planning, marine protected areas and off‐reserve marine management are essential for the conservation and sustainability of SWA reef fishes.

Abstract:We present a checklist of 278 species of reef fishes recorded along the coastline of Santa Catarina state, the southernmost limit of distribution of tropical ichthyofauna on the coast of Brazil. regius are reported for the first time, respectively, from the Southwestern Atlantic and for the coastal part of this region, while Acanthurus monroviae is reported for the second time for the Southwestern Atlantic. We present habitat distribution, trophic structure and comment on biogeographic affinities of this transitional region, discussing both remarkable species presences and absences.

“…According to our data, this also could be applied to southern Brazil and the Cape Verde Islands. In this regard, in waters of the Cape Verde Islands, Freitas et al (2014) attributed the presence of 13 reef-associated species endemic or native to the biogeographical Brazilian Province to the North Equatorial Countercurrent as a potential dispersal route for marine organisms crossing the Atlantic Ocean in a west-east direction. These authors also indicated that Brazilian species have been recently recorded as vagrants in the southern Caribbean and West African offshore islands.…”
