“…The material collected in Brazil represents a range extension of P. conicum from the Eastern Pacific into the Atlantic Ocean who is more than 6,000 km in distance. This is consistent with the series of new records and species that have been recently found along the coast of Brazil (e.g., Nunes et al 2008, Villas-Boas et al 2009, Amado-Filho et al 2010, Da Nóbrega Farias et al 2010, Bahia et al 2011 Adey et al (1982) as Paragoniolithon conicum Keats et al (1997) Keats et al (1997 ND, no data.…”

Nongeniculate coralline red algae are a common element of the Brazilian coastal zone, especially associated to coral reefs. During the course of ecological studies at Parque Municipal Marinho do Recife de Fora, two species of non-geniculate Corallinales were the major organisms covering the reef. Analyses of the vegetative and reproductive features of the species were analyzed; indicating that one new species of the genus Lithothamnion is proposed here based on the combination of several features associated with anatomy of the tetrasporangial conceptacles in relation to other species of the genus for which modern accounts are available. This new proposal along with other new species, new combinations and range extension of some species of the genus based in similar features clearly suggest that stability in species delimitation is possible. The second species found Pneophyllum conicum represents a range extension of more than 6,000 km from the Pacific in to the Atlantic Ocean suggesting that some nongeniculate species are widely distributed. The occurrence and abundance of these species supports and emphasizes the need for an extensive taxonomic reassessment of coralline red algae in the context of Brazilian coral reef biodiversity.

“…As described by Adey (1964Adey ( , 1965Adey ( , 1966aAdey ( , 1966b and Adey et al (1982;, crustose corallines combine these filaments into complex tissues with the filaments linked by fusions and/or secondary pits. Also, several different patterns of growth, within the carbonate framework, characterize different genera (Adey et al, 2005).…”

In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world.Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affiliation with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines. General requirements for manuscript preparation are on the inside back cover of printed volumes. For detailed submissions requirements and to review the "Manuscript Preparation and Style Guide for Authors," visit the Submissions page at www.scholarlypress.si.edu. s m i t h s o n i a n c o n t r i b u t i o n s t o t h e m a r i n e s c i e n c e s • n u m b e r 4 0 Although commonly 2-10 cm in thickness, Clathromorphum can reach a thickness of up to 50 cm while forming an annually layered structure that can reach currently documented ages of up to 850 years. Geochemical and growth information archived in annual growth bands of Clathromorphum sp. has been used to provide long time series of past environmental conditions in regions that are poorly understood major drivers of Northern Hemisphere climate. However, information on Clathromorphum calcification, growth, and ecology that would allow interpretation of these records has previously been quite limited. Here we relate extensive field and laboratory data on the biology, physiology, and ecology of species of this genus and their controlling environmental parameters. We show that Clathromorphum has evolved a unique mode of double calcification, with high-magnesium calcite crystals, that enhances long life and leads to a multielement climate archive. Growth rates are controlled by temperature, and carbonate density is controlled by light, determined by both latitude and sea ice cover, whereas carbonate buildup and ultimate thickness are determined by local geomorphology and faunal interactions. Reproduction is complexly linked to vegetative anatomy. Precise paleoenvironmental...

“…In fact, L. kotschyanum in the Pacific Ocean is considered to be L. congestum in the Atlantic Ocean, occupying the same habitats as this species in shallow waters (Adey et al 1982). Similarly, L. stictaeforme in coastal reefs occupies the same habitats as L. congestum in the Abrolhos reefs in Brazil (Nunes et al 2008).…”

“…The herein described specimens show close similarities with those reported previously for the species at the same study site (Figueiredo & Steneck 2002, Tâmega & Figueiredo 2007 and in the Caribbean (Steneck & Adey 1976). The vegetative and reproductive features of L. stictaeforme identified in this study were compared to samples of (1) L. congestum from previous studies carried out in Abrolhos (Figueiredo & Steneck 2002) and descriptions of samples from the Caribbean (Taylor 1960, Steneck & Adey 1976, Littler & Littler 2000, to (2) L. stictaeforme from the Brazilian reefs at Cumuruxatiba (Nunes et al 2008) and from rhodolith beds (Villas Bôas et al 2009), to (3) Lithophyllum kotschyanum Unger from Hawaii (Adey et al 1982) and the Sulawesi Islands (Verheij 1994) and to (4) Lithophyllum tamiense (Heydrich 1897: 1) Verheij (1994 from Australia (Ringeltube & Harvey 2000) ( Table 1). The comparison showed similarities in the vegetative organisation of the thallus, the epithallial and perithallial cells and the reproductive structures (shape, size and number of cells on the roof of the tetrasporangial conceptacles; Table 1).…”

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

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.
