| We tested the hypothesis that the variation in tree species alpha diversity is driven by climate in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest (ARF). Considering 139 samples of trees with DBH ≥ 4.8 cm, we correlated alpha diversity measures (Shannon heterogeneity index H', Chao I richness estimator, and Simpson concentration index C) with climate variables (perhumidity index, mean annual rainfall, and mean annual temperature) and spatial variables (latitude, longitude, and altitude). Using CCA, multiple regression analysis and RDA procedures, we found a positive relationship between latitude, longitude, and altitude with Shannon’s diversity index and Chao I richness estimator, and a negative relationship with Simpson concentration index. Over 75% of the variation... |

| ABSTRACT This is the first study to evaluate in broad spatiotemporal scales the growth parameters and population structure of Rimapenaeus constrictus, a barely damaged species composing the bycatch from shrimp fishing in the Western Atlantic. The abundance and size-class frequency distribution, growth, longevity and sex ratio were evaluated from monthly samples obtained in the northern littoral of São Paulo state from Jan/1998 to Jun/2003. We measured 5,812 individuals in which the sex ratio was skewed toward females; this was more evident in size classes greater than 10 mm in CL (carapace length) (binomial test, p<0.05). We selected 16 growth cohorts of females, and 8 of males, the majority consisting of younger individual cohorts excluded from the... |

| ABSTRACT The present study investigated the growth, longevity and reproductive dynamics ofArtemesia longinaris in the southeastern coast of Brazil over a two-year period. Monthly collections were conducted in Ubatuba and Caraguatatuba using a shrimp fishing boat equipped with "double-rig" nets. Each region was divided into 7 sampling stations up to 35 m deep. Size frequency distributions, growth, longevity, sex ratio, and abundance of individuals in each demographic class, were compared. The relationship between abiotic factors and abundance of each demographic class was assessed using a Canonical Correlation Analysis. A total of 64,641 individuals were collected (6,928 measured) with an estimated longevity of 1.30 (Ubatuba) and 1.14 (Caraguatatuba) years... |
