Composição E Distribuição De Crustáceos Decápodes Associados à Pesca Do Camarão-sete-barbas Xiphopenaeus Kroyeri (heller, 1862) No Litoral Norte Do Estado De São Paulo

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)The aims of this study were to identify spatially and temporally the composition and diversity of decapod crustaceans caught at fisheries of shrimp Xyphopenaeus kroyeri in Ubatuba bay. Samples were obtained monthly with a shrimping boat from September 1995 to August 1996 at 8 permanent transects. In total were collected 233094 individuals belonging to 85 species. The greatest riches were obtained for Brachyura (49 species) and Anomura (16 species). In the transects IV and V, the highest values of diversity and smaller abundance of shrimp X. kroyeri were found. Regarding the similarity, transects IV and V has low similarity in relation to other points due to its characteristics, such as location in the bay and type of substrate. Studies on the diversity of bycatch of commercially important shrimps are essential for management plans and conservation of renewable natural resources. © 2016, Instytut Technologii Drewna.

Modeling the Subsurface Structure of Sunspots

While sunspots are easily observed at the solar surface, determining their subsurface structure is not trivial. There are two main hypotheses for the subsurface structure of sunspots: the monolithic model and the cluster model. Local helioseismology is the only means by which we can investigate subphotospheric structure. However, as current linear inversion techniques do not yet allow helioseismology to probe the internal structure with sufficient confidence to distinguish between the monolith and cluster models, the development of physically realistic sunspot models are a priority for helioseismologists. This is because they are not only important indicators of the variety of physical effects that may influence helioseismic inferences in active regions, but they also enable detailed assessments of the validity of helioseismic interpretations through numerical forward modeling. In this paper, we provide a critical review of the existing sunspot models and an overview of numerical methods employed to model wave propagation through model sunspots. We then carry out an helioseismic analysis of the sunspot in Active Region 9787 and address the serious inconsistencies uncovered by \citeauthor{gizonetal2009}~(\citeyear{gizonetal2009,gizonetal2009a}). We find that this sunspot is most probably associated with a shallow, positive wave-speed perturbation (unlike the traditional two-layer model) and that travel-time measurements are consistent with a horizontal outflow in the surrounding moat.Comment: 73 pages, 19 figures, accepted by Solar Physic

Sunspots: from small-scale inhomogeneities towards a global theory

The penumbra of a sunspot is a fascinating phenomenon featuring complex velocity and magnetic fields. It challenges both our understanding of radiative magneto-convection and our means to measure and derive the actual geometry of the magnetic and velocity fields. In this contribution we attempt to summarize the present state-of-the-art from an observational and a theoretical perspective.Comment: Accepted for publication in Space Science Review

Range extensions along western Atlantic for Epialtidae crabs (Brachyura, Majoidea) genera Acanthonyx Latreille, 1828 and Epialtus H. Milne Edwards, 1834

The present study provided information extending the known geographical distribution of three species of majoid crabs, the epialtids Acanthonyx dissimulatus Coelho, 1993, Epialtus bituberculatus H. Milne Edwards, 1834, and E. brasiliensis Dana, 1852. Specimens of both genera from different carcinological collections were studied by comparing morphological characters. We provide new data that extends the geographical distributions of E. bituberculatus to the coast of the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina (Brazil), and offer new records from Belize and Costa Rica. Epialtus brasiliensis is recorded for the first time in the state of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil), and A. dissimulatus is reported from Quintana Roo, Mexico. The distribution of A. dissimulatus, previously known as endemic to Brazil, has a gap between the states of Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro. However, this restricted southern distribution is herein amplified by the Mexican specimens

New records of caridean shrimps, Lysmata ankeri and L. cf. intermedia, from southeast coast of Brazil

34Made available in DSpace on 2019-09-11T20:51:31Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016Background: The genus Lysmata includes about 40 described species of which at least 12 species occur in the western Atlantic. The present study records the extension of the southern limit of distribution of two species of Lysmata to the coast of São Paulo. Results: A total of 17 and two individual of Lysmata ankeri and Lysmata cf. intermedia were sampled, respectively. Lysmata ankeri were observed inhabiting crevices and natural burrows formed by rocks from 5 to about 15 m depth, while Lysmata cf. intermedia were found living under a large rocky plate from 8 meters depth. Conclusions: These new records improve our knowledge about the geographical distribution of Lysmata ankeri and Lysmata cf. intermedia. The expansion of the geographical distribution of these species may be caused by two different mechanisms of larval dispersal, either natural or anthropogenic. © 2016 The Author(s).De Paiva Barros-Alves, S., Universidade Federal de Sergipe, UFS, Laboratório de Carcinologia, São Cristóvão, Sergipe, BrazilAlves, D.F.R., Universidade Federal de Sergipe, UFS, Laboratório de Carcinologia, São Cristóvão, Sergipe, BrazilHirose, G.L., Universidade Federal de Sergipe, UFS, Laboratório de Carcinologia, São Cristóvão, Sergipe, BrazilCobo, V.J., Universidade de Taubaté, UNITAU, Laboratório de Biologia Marinha, LabBMar, Instituto de Biociências, Taubaté, São Paulo, Brazi
