“…La competición de estas tres especies fue curiosa y merece ser acompañada en el transcurso de los años, pues, las dos primeras especies fueron introducidas en el litoral Brasileño (Young 1989, FarrapeiraAssunção 1990) y puede haber una tendencia a el cosmopolitismo en la biota en cuestión, dependiendo de sus valencias ecológicas. En realidad ambas las especies son clasifi cadas como invasoras en diversos océanos (Ren & Liu 1978, Kim & Kim 1980, Yan et al 2006, llevadas por embarcaciones (Foster & Willan 1979, Young 1993, Neves et al 2007, Farrapeira et al 2007. Amphibalanus reticulatus presenta un comportamiento más agresivo que la otra especie en la colonización de nuevos substratos (Coles et al 1999), aún más porque tiene una característica fi siológica de eurihalinidad (Southward 1975, Mayer-Pinto & Junqueira 2003, Neves et al, 2007, demostrando estar perfectamente adaptada a las variaciones de salinidades en el estuario estudiado.…”

Barnacles are animals characteristic and abundant of intertidal region on marine and estuarine environments worldwide, but they are little known in the areas of tropical mangroves. This study was done with the aim to know the barnacles' species of the estuary of the Paripe River (Pernambuco, Brazil), indicating some characteristics of its distribution throughout the estuary. In dry season of 2006, the animals were collected in three stations of the estuary, in all hard substrata available, observing their vertical distribution. In polihaline station (salinities varying from 28.7 to 36.1), it was found eight species: Amphibalanus amphitrite, A. improvisus, A. reticulatus, A. venustus, Chthamalus proteus, C. bisinuatus Resumen: Los cirrípedos son animales característicos y abundantes en la región intermareal de los ambientes marinos y estuarinos de todo el mundo, pero son poco conocidos en las áreas de manglares tropicales. El presente estudio fue realizado con el objetivo de conocer las especies de cirrípedos en el estuario del Río Paripe (Pernambuco -Brasil), señalando algunas características de su distribución a lo largo del estuario. En la estación de estiaje de 2006, los animales fueron colectados en tres estaciones del estuario, en todos los substratos duros disponibles, observando su distribución vertical en los mismos. En la estación polihalina (salinidades variando de 28,7 hasta 36,1), se encontraron ocho especies: Amphibalanus amphitrite, A. improvisus, A. reticulatus, A. venustus, Chthamalus proteus, C. bisinuatus, Microeuraphia rhizophorae y Striatobalanus amaryllis. Las especies clasifi cadas como eurihalinas, encontradas hasta la región mesohalina del estuario (salinidades variando de 10,8 hasta 19,6) fueran: Amphibalanus amphitrite, A. improvisus, A. reticulatus, Chthamalus proteus y Microeuraphia rhizophorae, mientras que en la región oligohalina (salinidades variando de 0,2 hasta 5,2), solamente M. rhizophorae estuvo presente, sendo por tanto, clasifi cada como componente estuarino. Una zonación horizontal de especies de cirrípedos fue claramente observada a partir de la desembocadura hasta al montante del río, con disminución gradual del número de especies y fue confi rmado su padrón de distribución vertical en relación a las alturas de mareas, observadas las respectivas valencias ecológicas. Las especies exóticas introducidas en Brasil, Amphibalanus reticulatus y Striatobalanus amaryllis, estaban bien adaptadas en los substratos naturales y artifi ciales del estuario.

“…This last group aggressively occupies a great variety of marine substrata and is frequent among the fouling communities of ship hulls (remote dispersion); in fact, they are the most common encrusting organisms in harbors throughout the world (FOSTER and WILLAN, 1979;FARRAPEIRA et al, 2007).…”

A B S T R A C TThis study aimed to identify the incrusting and sedentary animals associated with the hull of a tugboat active in the ports of Pernambuco and later loaned to the port of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Thus, areas with dense biofouling were scraped and the species then classified in terms of their bioinvasive status for the Brazilian coast. Six were native to Brazil, two were cryptogenic and 16 nonindigenous; nine of the latter were classified as established (Musculus lateralis, Sphenia fragilis, Balanus trigonus, Biflustra savartii, Botrylloides nigrum, Didemnum psammatodes, Herdmania pallida, Microscosmus exasperatus, and Symplegma rubra) and three as invasive (Mytilopsis leucophaeta, Amphibalanus reticulatus, and Striatobalanus amaryllis). The presence of M. leucophaeata, Amphibalanus eburneus and A. reticulatus on the boat's hull propitiated their introduction onto the Natal coast. The occurrence of a great number of tunicate species in Natal reflected the port area's benthic diversity and facilitated the inclusion of two bivalves -Musculus lateralis and Sphenia fragilis -found in their siphons and in the interstices between colonies or individuals, respectively. The results show the role of biofouling on boat hulls in the introduction of nonindigenous species and that the port of Recife acts as a source of some species. R E S U M OEste trabalho objetivou identificar os animais incrustantes e sedentários associados ao casco de um rebocador que atuava nos Portos de Pernambuco e foi cedido para o Porto de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte. Áreas com densa bioincrustação foram raspadas e as espécies foram posteriormente classificadas em relação ao status de bioinvasão no litoral brasileiro. Dentre as espécies identificadas, seis eram nativas do Brasil, duas criptogênicas e 16 exóticas. Destas, oito foram classificadas como estabelecidas (Musculus lateralis, Sphenia fragilis, Balanus trigonus, Biflustra savartii, Botrylloides nigrum, Didemnum psammatodes, Herdmania pallida, Microscosmus exasperatus, Symplegma rubra) e três como invasoras (Mytilopsis leucophaeta, Amphibalanus reticulatus e Striatobalanus amaryllis). A presença de M. leucophaeata, Amphibalanus eburneus e A. reticulatus no casco da embarcação, propiciou sua introdução na costa de Natal. A ocorrência de grande número de espécies de tunicados em Natal refletiu a biodiversidade bêntica da área portuária e facilitou a inclusão de dois bivalves, Musculus lateralis e Sphenia fragilis, encontrados em seus sifões e nos interstícios entre colônias ou indivíduos, respectivamente. Os dados obtidos indicam que a incrustação em cascos de embarcações tem um papel preponderante na introdução de espécies exóticas, e que o Porto do Recife atuou como fonte de algumas destas espécies.

“…The ecological conditions inhabited by the listed faunas have been determined partly from the author's experience of molluscs in the Wellington area, partly from examination of the shores around Turakirae Head for comparison with the uplifted faunas, and partly from reference works including Morton & Miller (1968), Foster (1978, and Powell (1979). The faunas are largely those expected around Wellington at present, at or just below the low-tide line on extremely exposed rocky shores, allowing for transport into the deposition site of molluscs and barnacles from higher up the shore.…”

Holocene terraces at Turakirae Head on the south coast of the North Island, New Zealand, record four recent earthquakes from simultaneous rupture of the Wairarapa Fault and flexure of the Rimutaka Anticline. The lowest tread and riser is the modern marine platform and storm beach that began forming when the area was raised during the M w 8.2 Wairarapa earthquake of AD 1855 January. The remaining chronology is established by radiocarbon dating, in situ 10 Be surface-exposure dating, and slip-predictable uplift estimation. Prior to AD 1855, uplifts occurred at 110-430 BC (max. 9.1 m), 2164-3468 BC (6.8 m), and 4660-4970 BC (7.3 m). Earlier uplift of unknown magnitude occurred at c. 7000 BC but went unrecorded because of rapidly rising sea level. Sea level was still rising when the two oldest surviving beach ridges were raised.Uplift at Turakirae Head in AD 1855 varied from 1.5 m at the Wainuiomata River to 6.4 m at the crest of the Rimutaka Anticline. Older beaches also are tilted, with the amount of tilt increasing with age. Coastal uplift at the anticline crest has averaged 3.32 ± 0.17 mm/yr over the past 9000 yr, and has G05031; Online publication date 26 July 2006 Received 8 July 2005; accepted 19 June 2006changed little over the past 0.5 m.y. Uplift fits a slip-predictable model of earthquake occurrence, and is log-normally distributed with a mean of 7.3 ± 0.7 m. The most frequently occurring uplift is 7.1 ± 0.9 m. Uplift in AD 1855 was not significantly smaller than mean or mode, suggesting that the Turakirae Head sequence records four great earthquakes of at least similar magnitude to that of AD 1855. The mean earthquake recurrence interval is 2194 ± 117 yr; the modal interval is 2122 ± 193 yr.At the crest of the anticline, the coastal platform was cut entirely during the postglacial rise of sea level until shortly before 4660-4970 BC. Away from the crest, however, it may have been partially cut during low sea level of the penultimate glaciation. The open-ocean radiocarbon reservoir correction (δR) for 10 14 C dates of coastal marine shells that died in AD 1855 at Turakirae Head is 3 ± 14cal. yrBP(andnot-31 ± 13 cal. yr BP, the currently accepted δR for central New Zealand coastal waters).
