Despite a strong increase in research on seamounts and oceanic islands ecology and
biogeography, many basic aspects of their biodiversity are still unknown. In the …

Brazil has an area of 8,512,000 km2 which represents almost 50% of South America. Brazil's
coastal zone extends for approximately 9,200 km and presents a very diverse suite of …

Modern shelf morphology is the result of the interplay between short and long term
sedimentary processes. The relation between rates of sediment supply/carbonate growth …

Clastic, depositional strandplain systems have the potential to record changes in the primary
drivers of coastal evolution: climate, sea‐level, and the frequency of major meteorological …

Natural gamma radiation of beach sand deposits was measured along the south coast of
Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, with the aim of studying the provenance and transport …

Beach‐ridge systems are geomorphological features common in every type of coast and
have been widely interpreted as geo‐archives of past sea‐level, climatic, or tectonic …

The coast of the state of Bahia in eastern Brazil comprises more than 12% of the entire
Brazilian coast. However, the crustacean fauna of this area still remains poorly known …

Thick bay‐fill sequences that often culminate in strandplain development serve as important
sedimentary archives of land–ocean interaction, although distinguishing between internal …

The role of neotectonic faulting in sha** topography and controlling sediment deposition
has been increasingly documented along the stable continental margin of South America …

The degree of isolation of oceanic islands makes these environments an excellent model for
evolutionary studies. Proper knowledge of the species composition of oceanic islands …
