Population Biology Of Ampithoidae Species (crustacea, Amphipoda) Associated With Sargassum Filipendula (phaeophyta, Fucales), At Fortaleza Beach, Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brazil [biologia Populacional Das Espécies De Ampithoidae (crustacea, Amphipoda) Associadas A Sargassum Filipendula (phaeophyta, Fucales) Na Praia Da Fortaleza, Ubatuba, São Paulo, Brasil]

The population biology of three species of the family Ampithoidae (Ampithoe ramondi, Cymadusa filosa e Sunampithoe pelagica) associated with Sargassum filipendula at Fortaleza beach, northern coast of São Paulo state was investigated from June 2000 to May 2001. The amphipods were identified, counted and separated in size classes through a nested sieve set. Month hystograms were obtained for juveniles, males and females. The ampithoid sex ratio was determined monthly. The reproductive biology of the species was evaluated by the relative frequency of ovigerous females, fecundity, average egg volume and correlation analysis between head lengh of ovigerous females and number of eggs in its brood pouch. Ampithoe ramondi was the most abundant species. The higher densities of the three species occurred in spring and summer. The sex ratio presented a significant difference from 1:1 only for A. ramondi (1:1.2; χ2 = 4.37; g.l. = 1; p < 0.05). Ovigerous females were registered for almost all the sampling periods. A positive correlation between the female head lengh and the number of eggs were only registered for A. ramondi (r2 = 0.27; p < 0.05; n = 33). Cymadusa filosa showed the greatest fecundity and egg volume.23412071216AYRES, M., AYRES JR, M., AYRES, D.L., SANTOS, A.S., BioEstat 3.0: Aplicações estatísticas nas áreas das Ciências Bioló gicas e Médicas (2003) Belém, Sociedade Civil Mamirauá, MCTCNPq, Conservation International, XII+291pBARNARD, J.L., KARAMAN, G.S., (1991) The families and genera of marine gammaridean Amphipoda (except marine gammaroids), 13 (1), pp. 1-417. , Records of the Australian Museum Suplement, SydneyBARNARD, J.L., KARAMAN, G.S., (1991) The families and genera of marine gammaridean amphipoda (except marine gammaroids), 13 (2), pp. 419-866. , Records of the Australian Museum Suplement, SydneyBARRETO, C.C., Heterogeneidade espacial do habitat e diversidade específica: Implicações ecológicas e métodos de mensuração (1999) Oecologia Brasiliensis, 84, pp. 158-163. , Rio de JaneiroBOUSFIELD, E.E., (1973) Shallow-water gammaridean Amphipoda of New England, , London, Comstock Publishing, Cornell University Press, 312pBRAWLEY, S.H., ADEY, W.H., The effects of micrograzers on algal community structure in a coral reef microcosm (1981) Marine Biology, 61, pp. 167-178. , BerlimBUSCHMANN, A.H., GOMEZ, P., Interaction mechanisms between Gracilaria chilensis (Rodophyta, Gigartinales) and epiphytes (1993) Hydrobiologia, 261, pp. 345-351. , DordrechtCARDOSO, R.S., VELOSO, V.G., Embryonic development and reproductive strategy of Pseudorchestoidea brasiliensis (Amphipoda, Talitridae) at Prainha Beach, Brazil (2001) Journal of Natural History, London, 35, pp. 201-211CONLAN, K.E., Amphipod crustaceans and environmental disturbance: A review (1994) Journal of Natural History, London, 28, pp. 519-554DUBIASKI-SILVA, J., MASUNARI, S., Ecologia populacional dos Amphipoda (Crustacea) dos fitais de Caiobá, Matinhos, Paraná, Brasil (1995) Revista Brasileira de Zoologia, 12 (2), pp. 373-396. , CuritibaDUFFY, J.E., Amphipods on seaweeds: Partners or pests?

Seasonal dynamics of amphipod assemblages in intertidal coralline algal mats on two Brazilian shores

Coralline algae form important rocky intertidal habitats, but their function may be radically changing worldwide as increased land deforestation may ultimately lead to higher sedimentation rates over algal mats, and more frequent extreme weather conditions may increase physical disturbances. One way of addressing how environmental change may affect the ecosystem function of coralline algal mats is to examine the temporal dynamics of invertebrate assemblages associated with this habitat, and how they correlate to key environmental factors. Here, we investigated the dynamics of amphipod assemblages inhabiting coralline algal mats at two sites in southeastern Brazil from September 2010 to August 2013. Twenty-two different species were recorded, encompassing two lifestyles (free-living and tube-dwelling), and four feeding habits (detritivorous, omnivorous, herbivorous, and carnivorous). Consistently across sites and over the years, species diversity peaked in autumn, together with the passing of cold fronts and increased wave height. Physical disturbance through wave action caused algal mat thinning and reduced overall amphipod abundance, suggesting habitat limitation, but also decreased species dominance, allowing other species to build up populations over autumn and winter. The omnivore generalist Apohyale media (Dana, 1853) tended to dominate in spring and summer, when the environment was more stable, and the organic matter retained in sediments was higher. When environmental conditions changed during autumn and winter, a second omnivore, Hyale Niger (Haswell, 1879), took over, especially in years 1 and 3. During year 2, the virtual absence of H. Niger allowed the detritivore Lysianassa temimino Senna and Souza-Filho, 2010 to thrive, which was likely facilitated by the retention of assorted sediments951839

Hermit Crabs (crustacea: Decapoda: Anomura), Gastropod Shells And Environmental Structure: Their Relationship In Southeastern Brazil

Species composition and the pattern of shell utilization by hermit crabs were studied in five areas of Sao Sebastiao Channel. Habitat characteristics were evaluated and related to the presence and relative abundance of crabs. Nine species of hermit crab were found: Clibanarius antillensis, Clibanarius vittatus, Clibanarius sclopetarius, Calcinus tibicen, Paguristes tortugae, Paguristes erythrops, Petrochirus diogenes, Pagurus criniticornis and Pagurus brevidactylus. Habitat complexity, moisture, rocky shore slope and hydrodynamism were the major characteristics influencing hermit crab presence, relative abundance and distribution in these areas. Shell utilization and availability varied among sites and shell utilization seemed to be dependent on differences in local shell supply (size and abundance of living snails) and preferences of the hermit crabs for certain shell types.3210-1115991608Bertness, M.D., Shell preference and utilization patterns of hermit crabs from the Bay of Panama (1980) Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 48, pp. 1-16Bertness, M.D., Predation, physical stress and the organization of a tropical rocky intertidal hermit crab community (1981) Ecology, 62, pp. 411-425Borjesson, D.L., Szelistowski, W.A., Shell selection, utilization and predation in the hermit crab Clibanarius panamensis Stimpson in a tropical mangrove estuary (1989) Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 133, pp. 213-228Forest, J., De Saint Laurent, M., Campagne de la Calypso au large des côtes Atlantiques de l'Amerique du Sud (1961-1962). 6.

Some Aspects Of The Population Ecology Of The Exotic Amphipod, Talitroides Topitotum, In An Atlantic Forest Reserve In Brazil

A study was conducted to determine the population ecology of Talitroides topitotum (T. topitotum) in an Atlantic forest area in south-eastern Brazil. The study was conducted under humid climate, with no-dry season, and the mean yearly precipitation of 2180 mm. Sampling for the study was done by making pitfall traps made of 500 mL plastic cups with 8.5 cm opening, set level with the soil surface, and containing 30% propylene glycol, 0.1% formaldehyde, and a few drops of detergent to break the surface tension. The study showed that the body size of these species was positively correlated with female fecundity. The present study also clarified how temperature affected recruitment in this species and correlation of body size with female fecundity. The study also revealed that presence and abundance of terrestrial amphipods can be used as a tool for bio-monitoring activities of these species.822241251ALVAREZ, F., WINFIELD, I., CHÁ ZARO, S., Population study of the landhopper Talitroides topitotum (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Talitridae) in central Mexico (2000) Journ. nat.
