We present new data about its distribution, discussing on the limits of the Brazilian Province and commenting on the IUCN criteria for evaluation on threatening status. Results: Five specimens of E. figaro were collected about 550 km northward from its previously known boundary, overtaking the expectations around its real distribution as presented in the original description. Conclusions: Results from E. figaro range expansion and new records of species in Brazilian coast fit the hypothesis presented in Floeter et al.

  • Low Connectivity Compromises the Conservation of Reef Fishes By
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Low connectivity compromises the conservation of reef fshes by marine protected areas in the Received: 6 September 2018 Accepted: 29 May 2019 tropical South Atlantic Published: xx xx xxxx Clarissa Akemi Kajiya Endo1, Douglas Francisco Marcolino Gherardi1, Luciano Ponzi Pezzi 1 & Leonardo Nascimento Lima2 The total spatial coverage of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) within the Brazilian Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ) has recently achieved the quantitative requirement of the Aichii Biodiversity Target 11. However, the distribution of MPAs in the Brazilian EEZ is still unbalanced regarding the proportion of protected ecosystems, protection goals and management types. Moreover, the demographic connectivity between these MPAs and their efectiveness regarding the maintenance of biodiversity are still not comprehensively understood. An individual-based modeling scheme coupled with a regional hydrodynamic model of the ocean is used to determine the demographic connectivity of reef fshes based on the widespread genus Sparisoma found in the oceanic islands and on the Brazilian continental shelf between 10° N and 23° S. Model results indicate that MPAs are highly isolated due to extremely low demographic connectivity. Consequently, low connectivity and the long distances separating MPAs contribute to their isolation. Therefore, the current MPA design falls short of its goal of maintaining the demographic connectivity of Sparisoma populations living within these areas. In an extreme scenario in which the MPAs rely solely on protected populations for recruits, it is unlikely that they will be able to efectively contribute to the resilience of these populations or other reef fsh species sharing the same dispersal abilities. Results also show that recruitment occurs elsewhere along the continental shelf indicating that the protection of areas larger than the current MPAs would enhance the network, maintain connectivity and contribute to the conservation of reef fshes.

  • Managing the Vulnerability of Coastal Fishing Communities
    Copyright © 2019 by the author(s). Published here under license by the Resilience Alliance. Silva, M. R. O., M. G. Pennino, and P. F. M. Lopes. 2019. Social-ecological trends: managing the vulnerability of coastal fishing communities. Ecology and Society 24(4):4. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-11185-240404 Research, part of a Special Feature on Managing local and global fisheries in the Anthropocene Social-ecological trends: managing the vulnerability of coastal fishing communities Monalisa R. O. Silva 1, Maria G. Pennino 1,2,3 and Priscila F. M. Lopes 1 ABSTRACT. The loss of biodiversity, including the collapse of fish stocks, affects the vulnerability of social-ecological systems (SESs) and threatens local livelihoods. Incorporating community-centered indicators and SES drivers and exposures of change into coastal management can help anticipate and mitigate human and/or coastal vulnerability. We have proposed a new index to measure the social- ecological vulnerability of coastal fishing communities (Index of Coastal Vulnerability [ICV]) based on species, ecosystem, and social indicators. The ICV varies from 0 (no vulnerability) to 1 (very high vulnerability) and is composed of 3 components: species vulnerability, i.e., fish biological traits; ecosystem vulnerability, i.e., environmental indicators of ecosystem health; and adaptive capacity, i.e., human ability to cope with changes. We tested the ICV of Brazil’s 17 coastal states. The average ICV for the Brazilian coast was 0.77, and variation was low among states. More than half of the coastal states revealed very high vulnerability (> 0.8). The ecosystem vulnerability values were worse than the adaptive capacity and species vulnerability values, and the North and Northeast regions were revealed to be vulnerable hot spots.

    Diagnóstico Biológico e Sócio-Econômico para a proposta de criação de uma Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) e um Refúgio de Vida Silvestre (MONA) na Cadeia Vitória-Trindade Vitória, janeiro de 2018 Diagnóstico Biológico e Sócio-Econômico para a proposta de criação de uma Área de Proteção Ambiental (APA) e um Refúgio de Vida Silvestre (MONA) na Cadeia Vitória-Trindade Hudson Tercio Pinheiro, PhD California Academy of Sciences Associação Ambiental Voz da Natureza 1. Introdução A Cadeia Vitória-Trindade (CVT) representa uma formação única no planeta, composta por uma cordilheira de montanhas de mais de 1.000 km de extensão, que conecta a costa central do Brasil à Ilha da Trindade e Arquipélago Martin Vaz (Figura 1). A CVT possui cerca de 30 montes submarinos, sendo que ao menos dez alcançam a zona mesofótica, entre 30 e 150 m de profundidade, funcionando como verdadeiras ilhas para a biodiversidade marinha (Pinheiro et al., 2014, 2015a, 2017). As ilhas oceânicas (Figura 2), situadas no extremo leste da CVT, abrigam a mais alta diversidade de algas calcárias do mundo (Sissini et al., in press), a maior riqueza de espécies recifais e espécies endêmicas entre todas as ilhas brasileiras (Pinheiro et al., 2015a), e ainda uma das maiores taxas de biomassa de peixes recifais do Atlântico Sul (Pinheiro et al., 2011; Morais et al., 2017). 2 Figura 1 – Cadeia Vitória-Trindade, localizada na costa central do Brasil. Figura 2 – Ilha da Trindade (esquerda) e Arquipélago Martin-Vaz (direita). A região da CVT é reconhecida nacionalmente e internacionalmente como de alta prioridade para a conservação e uso sustentável da biodiversidade em todo o Atlântico Sul (MMA, 2007, 2010).

Abstract Trindade (20o 30’ S, 29o 20’ W, 10 km2) is an oceanic archipelago of volcanic origin, 1200km east of Vitória, the coastal capital of the State of Espírito Santo, South-eastern Brazil. The main island has lush terrestrial vegetation, with C. 130 species of vascular plants (10 of them endemics) and many endemic seabird species. Since the early 1700s, the forests which historically covered 85% of Trindade gradually dwindled to less than 5%, due to devastation by feral goats (Capra hircus), pigs (Sus scrofa), sheep (Ovis aries), and mice (Mus musculus). This change greatly reduced nesting opportunities for seabirds, especially the two endemic frigate birds. From 1965 to 1995, approximately 800 goats and thousands of mice remained, hindering the regeneration of vegetation. The eradication of goats, concluded in 2004, led to rapid revegetation of barren areas and the expansion of populations of endemic plant species Psilotum triquetrum Sw. f. insularis, Achyrocline disjuncta., Peperomia beckeri, and Plantago trinitatis, which were considered extinct or endangered in prior decades. The number of nesting Sula leucogaster nearly quadrupled following elimination of the goats and cats (Felis catus).
