Fundamental questions in meiofauna—how small but ubiquitous animals can help to better understand Nature Open
Meiofauna—a collective term to define microscopic animals—represent a numerically important component of biodiversity in most of Earth’s ecosystems and play a crucial role in biogeochemical cycles. Meiofauna have also been used as models t…

Review of the Central and South Atlantic Shelf and Deep-Sea Benthos: Science, Policy, and Management Open
128 129The Central and South Atlantic represents a vast ocean area and is home to a diverse range of ecosystems and species. Nevertheless, and similar to the rest of the global south, the area is comparatively understudied yet exposed to i…

Living on the edge – first survey of loriciferans along the Atacama Trench Open
The fauna of Loricifera along a north-south longitudinal transect following the Atacama Trench was explored. Whereas no loriciferans were collected from the actual trench, the continental slope and surrounding abyssal plains yielded two sp…

Whale falls as chemosynthetic refugia: a perspective from free-living deep-sea nematodes Open
Whale carcasses create habitats in the deep sea which are colonized by organisms related to other chemosynthetic environments suggesting that whale falls may act as intermediate refugia for the dispersal and evolution of deep-sea organisms…

Hadal Mud Dragons: First Insight Into the Diversity of Kinorhyncha From the Atacama Trench Open
Deep-sea trenches are one of the last frontiers for deep-sea exploration and represent a large reservoir of undiscovered biodiversity. This applies in particular to organisms belonging to smaller-size classes, such as meiofauna. Among diff…

Diversity, Distribution and Phylogeny of Hesionidae (Annelida) Colonizing Whale Falls: New Species of Sirsoe and Connections Between Ocean Basins Open
Whale falls are important environments contributing to biodiversity, connectivity and evolutionary novelty in deep-sea ecosystem. Notwithstanding, most of this knowledge is based in studies from NE Pacific basin. Interestingly, the only kn…

Diversity of annelids in organic substrates in the deep Southwest Atlantic Ocean Open
\n This thesis aims to characterize the annelid diversity of whale bones implanted in the SW Atlantic at two different depths (1500 and 3300 m) and its relation with other whale falls and chemosynthetic environments. The first chapter pres…

Trophic structure and chemosynthesis contributions to heterotrophic fauna inhabiting an abyssal whale carcass Open
The trophic structure and role of chemosynthesis remain unexplored in deep-sea whale-fall communities in areas other than the California margin. This gap limits the understanding of these communities and their ecological relationships with…

Polychaete distribution on the southwestern Atlantic continental shelf Open
Diversity and distribution of polychaetes on the southeastern Brazilian Shelf (SBS) adjacent to the city of Santos were studied. The study area is situated in the vicinity of Santos Bay with its estuarine complex and other small rivers alo…

Deep-sea whale fall fauna from the Atlantic resembles that of the Pacific Ocean Open
Whale carcasses create remarkable habitats in the deep-sea by producing concentrated sources of organic matter for a food-deprived biota as well as places of evolutionary novelty and biodiversity. Although many of the faunal patterns on wh…
