“…This study presents two new records for Brazil, increasing the number to 30 species. The genus Spongites was previously recorded for Brazil at 2-4 m depth along southeastern shores (Tâmega and Figueiredo 2005), but the species remained unidentified. Therefore, this is the first record of S. yendoi for Brazil.…”

New records of rhodolith-forming species (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) from deep water in Espírito Santo State, Brazil

et al. 2011

Little is known about the diversity of nongeniculate coralline red algae (Rhodophyta, Corallinophycidae) from deep waters in Brazil. Most surveys undertaken in this country have been carried out in shallow waters. In 1994, however, the REVIZEE program surveyed the sustainable living resources potential of the Brazilian exclusive economic zone to depths of 500 m. In the present study, the rhodolith-forming coralline algae from the continental shelf of Espírito Santo State were identified. Samples were taken from 54 to 60 m depth by dredging during ship cruises in 1997. Three rhodolith-forming species were found: Spongites yendoi (Foslie) Chamberlain, Lithothamnion muelleri Lenormand ex Rosanoff and Lithothamnion glaciale Kjellman. These records extend the distribution ranges of these species into Brazilian waters and extend the depth distribution of non-geniculate coralline red algae into Brazilian water to 58 m.

“…The Brazilian coast has described until now six species of Lithophyllum: L. congestum (Foslie) Foslie (1900a: 20), L. coralline (P. L. Crouan & H. M. Crouan) Heydrich (1897a: 47), L. depressum, L. johansenii Woelkerling & Campbell (1992: 61-67), L. margaritae (Hariot) Heydrich (1901: 530), and L. stictaeforme (Figueiredo & Steneck 2002, Tâmega & Figueiredo 2005, Nunes et al 2008, Vilas Boas et al 2009, Amado Filho et al 2012b, Martins et al 2012. The characteristics used for positioning the species within this genus include the diameter of the tetrasporangial conceptacle, the number of cell layers from the floor of the tetrasporangial conceptacles to the surface of the thallus, and number of cell layers in the roof of these conceptacles.…”

“…To date, 41 valid species have been recorded for the Brazilian coast (Horta 2002, Figueiredo & Steneck 2002, Tâmega & Figueiredo 2005, AmadoFilho et al 2007, Nunes et al 2008, Villas-Boas et al 2009, Farias et al 2010, Henriques et al 2011, Horta et al 2011, Pereira-Filho et al 2011, Amado-Filho et al 2012a, b, Mariath et al 2012, Bahia et al 2013, Mariath et al 2013. A few studies in the state of Bahia have investigated the taxonomy and ecology of CCA and most of them were accomplished in the southern limit of this region (Figueiredo & Steneck 2002, Nunes et al 2008, Amado-Filho et al 2012b, Mariath et al 2012and Bahia et al 2013.…”

Taxonomic study of crustose coralline algae off the northeastern Brazilian coast

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This work presents a detailed morphoanatomical study of crustose coralline algae species from the northeastern Brazilian coast, in the north of Bahia state. Nine species have been recognized: Sporolithon episporum, Lithophyllum stictaeforme, Spongites yendoi, Spongites sp., Mesophyllum erubescens, Phymatolithon masonianum, Phymatolithon calcareum, Lithothamnion crispatum and Lithothamnion brasiliense. Phymatolithon masonianum and Phymatolithon calcareum constitute the first record of these species for the northern coast of Brazil. An identification key, as well as descriptions, illustrations, comparisons with related taxa, and geographical distributions for Brazil as well as global geographic distributions are presented. Additionally, some ecological implications are discussed focusing the need of more studies about this neglected group of coralline red algae.

“…In tropical and subtropical regions of the Atlantic, a few studies have described these algae, such as Steneck & Adey (1976), Littler & Littler (2000), Figueiredo & Steneck (2002), Tâmega & Figueiredo (2005, 2007, Nunes et al (2008) and Villas Bôas et al (2009). Two species are commonly described in Brazilian coral reef habitats: Lithophyllum congestum (Foslie 1898: 13) Foslie (1900: 20) and Porolithon pachydermum (Foslie 1904: 4) Foslie (1909: 57) neither species has been studied in a modern context based on the detailed anatomical analysis of the type with respect to modern collections.…”

Nongeniculate coralline red algae (Rhodophyta: Corallinales) in coral reefs from Northeastern Brazil and a description of Neogoniolithon atlanticum sp. nov.

et al. 2014

A taxonomic reassessment of coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) associated with reef environments in the Abrolhos Bank, northeastern Brazil, was developed based on extensive historical samples dating from 1999-2009 and a critical evaluation of type material. Our goal was to update the taxonomic status of the main nongeniculate coral reef-forming species. Our results show that four species are the main contributors to the living cover of coral reefs in the Abrolhos Bank: Lithophyllum stictaeforme, Neogoniolithon atlanticum sp. nov., Porolithon pachydermum and Spongites fructiculosus.Comparison of the type material to modern collections has shown that Lithophyllum congestum is a heterotypic synonym of L. stictaeforme. However, L. stictaeforme and P. pachydermum were the most abundant species at the studied sites, a finding consistent with other coral reefs in the region. This is the first record of S. fructiculosus in the southwestern Atlantic. This review provides the baseline data needed for the monitoring and management of the southernmost limits of coral reefs in the western Atlantic Ocean.
