Ostracoda (Crustacea) from the infralittoral of Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil

Provinciality of Ostracoda (Crustacea) in the Northeastern and Eastern Brazilian shelves based on neontological and paleontological analyses

“…It was suggested that some species of Ostracoda might have passively migrated into the Atlantic Ocean during the Quaternary, reaching the Brazilian coast through the Vitória-Trindade seamounts (see Figure 1). They might have been dispersed attached to algae fragments and holdfasts in long transoceanic journeys as already discussed, among other authors, by Morais & Coimbra (2019). It is possible that a passive dispersion by sweepstakes acted as an important mechanism for the dispersion between Trindade Island and the Brazilian shelf during the Quaternary (Coimbra & Carreño, 2012).…”

“…Some authors have suggested that A. costatus migrated from the Indo-Pacific to the western Atlantic during the Pleistocene (Jellinek, 1995;Fauth & Coimbra, 1998;. Besides these two species, Caudites seminudus, a very shallow species recorded in the Brazilian coast, Trindade Island and Rocas Atoll, was previously described from the Reunion Island, Indian Ocean (Machado et al, 2005;Coimbra et al, 2009;Coimbra & Carreño, 2012;Morais & Coimbra, 2019). It was suggested that some species of Ostracoda might have passively migrated into the Atlantic Ocean during the Quaternary, reaching the Brazilian coast through the Vitória-Trindade seamounts (see Figure 1).…”

“…We believe that these 15 species are probably new, living either in very small populations on the shelf, or are more abundant in coastal environments and occasionally transported to the shelf. If the latter hypothesis become suported by future studies, the occurrence of these species in the Transitional Zones should be considered accidental (for comparison see Morais & Coimbra, 2019).…”

“…Their faunal survey inspired many other taxonomic and zoogeographical studies, which resulted in the description of taxa typical of warm or temperate waters and a better understanding of the distribution patterns of the Brazilian benthonic shelf ostracods (e.g. Purper & Ornellas, 1987a,b, 1989Coimbra & Ornellas, 1986Ramos, 1994Ramos, , 1996Coimbra et al, 1994Coimbra et al, , 1995Coimbra et al, , 1999aCoimbra et al, ,b, 2004Coimbra et al, , 2020Fauth & Coimbra, 1998;Carmo & Sanguinetti, 1999;Ramos et al, 1999Ramos et al, , 2004Ramos et al, , 2012Ramos et al, , 2014Coimbra & Fauth, 2002;Coimbra & Carreño, 2002;Coimbra & Carmo, 2002;Bergue & Coimbra, 2002;Machado & Drozinsnki, 2002;Coimbra & Bergue, 2003;Aiello et al, 2004;Machado et al, 2005;Luz & Coimbra, 2015;Bergue et al, 2016;Coimbra & Morais, 2016;Morais & Coimbra, 2019).…”
