The Museum of Zoology of the Institute of Biology of the State University of Campinas (ZUEC) has about 400,000 marine invertebrates, collected by large projects that have been conducted in Brazil since 1990. The vast majority of this material, obtained with funding from research foundations and government agencies, was collected in areas on the Brazilian coast that had not been studied be…
The coastal region has been subject to pressures of different origins, types, and magnitudes, which compromise environmental services and lessen the quality of life for the population that depends directly or indirectly on coastal resources. The aim of coastal management is to integrate economic, social, and environmental interests, and to seek regional sustainability. However, decision-m…
In accordance with the objectives of the Special Research Program "Conservation and Sustainable Use of the Biodiversity of the State of São Paulo - Biota/SP" (Addendum 1), this research proposal aims basically an integrated survey of the biota of one of the less studied regions of the São Paulo State: the northern coast. This is a complex environment that is still well preserved, in great…
Tardigrades are free-living microscopic animals belonging to the phylum Tardigrade, categorised into two main classes (Heterotardigrade and Eutardigrade). Most known tardigrade species are limnoterrestrial. They colonise terrestrial (such as mosses, lichens, litter or soil) and aquatic habitats, with few marine and exclusively aquatic species. Tardigrades suffer from the "meiofauna parado…
Areas of endemism are basic units for biogeographic studies, providing information for understanding the spatial and biotic changes of an area. The identification of these areas is strongly influenced by methodological issues that affect data analysis, such as the limitations of the programs used, the sampling intensity, and the quality of databases containing geographic records. Biogeogr…
Among the Ophiuroidea, Amphiuridae is the most diverse family, often found in a wide variety of habitats and a wide bathymetric gradient. For some researchers, this would be best resolved by subdividing and / or dividing into new families. However, given the low sampling and representativeness of some genders, the understanding of internal relations of Amphiuridae remains under debate. Th…

Sandy beaches dominate the world's coastlines and provide critical ecosystem services, yet are also amongst the most threatened and least-studied coastal ecosystems. Surf zones of sandy beaches in particular are known to be important nurseries, spawning and feeding grounds for many commercially-important and vulnerable fish species, and therefore key habitats in the transfer of large amou…
Polychaeta's phylogeny has been discussed and reviewed in the last decades, and with the advent of molecular biology the group has been shown to be invalid and polyphyletic. Similar situations occur in lower clades as is the case of members of the Nereididae family, and the genus Laeonereis deserves special attention given the conflicts of information in the literature about their real nu…
Despite of the importance for understanding the evolutionary patterns of Annelida, comprehensive phylogenies of exclusively interstitial families are nonexistent. In turn, the combination of techniques of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), 3D computer modeling and molecular techniques may answer systematic, phylogenetic and morpho-funcionas ques…
