“…Paraonidae have been reported worldwide, from the intertidal zone [221] to bathyal and abyssal environments [39]. A similar number of Paraonidae species have been described from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans (53 vs. 51); the Mediterranean accounts for a relatively high number of taxa (31), while only a few species have the type localities in the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and the Arctic Ocean (Figure 3E).…”

Sedentarian annelids are a diverse and heterogeneous group of marine worms representing more than 8600 species gathered in ca. 43 families. The attention brought to these organisms is unevenly distributed among these families, and the knowledge about them sometimes scarce. We review here the current knowledge about the families Acrocirridae, Cirratulidae (including Ctenodrilidae), Cossuridae, Longosomatidae, Paraonidae, and Sternaspidae in terms of biodiversity as well as the evolution of the taxonomy and systematics of each group. We present the challenges faced when studying these organisms and compare methodologies across groups and perspectives in future research.

“…Dentre os invertebrados, a Zona Costeira Amapaense se destaca pela abundância e diversidade de anelídeos, moluscos, artrópodes, moluscos e nemertinos, representantes da macrofauna bentônica, devido a ação do rio Amazonas, juntamente com o rio Orinoco, através da descarga de água e sedimentos no oceano, e agindo como dispersores da fauna marinha na América do Sul (Ribeiro et al, 2018).…”

A Zona Costeira Amapaense é uma área de com diversidade ambientes, fauna, flora e recursos naturais. Por estes fatores, esta é uma região explorada, tanto pela população costeira como pelos demais setores da economia, principalmente o setor portuário e ocupação urbana. A influência antrópica sobre esta região, em virtude de sua riqueza natural, associada às mudanças climáticas, podem alterar a dinâmica das forçantes que atuam sobre a área, consequentemente, os processos que atuam sobre a zona costeira. O objetivo desse artigo foi trazer ao público informações da Zona Costeira do Amapá de maneira que esses dados possam ser usados para melhor gerir essa importante área do estado. Assim, o conhecimento sobre os diversos aspectos da Zona Costeira Amapaense, bem como as suas características, em estudos publicados ao longo dos últimos anos, forneceu um compilado de informações a respeito da região que poderá futuramente servir como fonte de referência para o devido manejo dos recursos naturais, gestão e ordenamento territorial nessa área. Overview Of Coastal Zone of the State Of AmapáABSTRACTThe Amapaense Coastal Zone is an area with diverse environments and natural resources. To manage this space more efficiently, it is necessary to know its physical and socioeconomic characteristics, and the processes that act on the coastal zone. The purpose of this article was to bring information from the Amapá Coastal Zone to the public, in order to provide subsidies to environmental agencies that operate in the coastal zone of the state, so that this data can be used to better manage this area of the state. The Amapaense Coastal Zone stands out for its dynamism and productivity in the region, marked by the intense activity of coastal processes that constantly modify the region; the performance of erosive and depositional processes in determining the current configuration of the coastal plain; the influence of the Amazon River on sediment transport and deposition along the coastline and on the consolidation of vegetation; the performance of mangroves as a place of refuge and feeding aquatic species; and the rich biodiversity of the Coastal Zone related to climatic conditions and the phenomenon of speciation in the tropics. These factors make the Amapá Coastal Zone an explored region, both by the coastal population with extractive activities and by the sectors of the economy such as ports and services related to urban occupations. With this article we hope to provide a compilation of information about the region that may in the future serve as a reference source for the proper management of natural resources, management and territorial ordering in this area as well as a baseline for further research.

“…Regarding the Brazilian coast, previous studies on paraonids registered the presence of six genera and 38 species, most of them from shallow waters [28]. Few systematic studies have been conducted on Brazilian paraonids [11,[29][30][31], so most (62%) of the previous records for the family in Brazil come from gray literature and papers with an ecological approach, in which specimens descriptions and illustrations are not given [28]. For this reason, most of these records are questionable.…”

Three new species of Levinsenia Mesnil, 1897 (Annelida: Paraonidae) from shallow and deep waters of Southwestern Atlantic Ocean

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Three new species of Levinsenia were collected during a benthic survey, from 10–3,000 m deep, in Espírito Santo Basin, off the southeastern Brazilian coast. These species are L. paivai sp. nov., L. blakei sp. nov. and L. lesliae sp. nov. Members of L. paivai sp. nov. are recognized by the presence of nine pairs of well-developed and heavily ciliated branchiae, those of L. blakei sp. nov. are characterized by the presence of three pairs of small branchiae, and those of L. lesliae sp. nov., by the absence of branchiae and presence of notopodial transitional chaetae. These new species are described herein and compared to the most similar congeners. These are the first new species of Levinsenia described from off the Brazilian coast.
