[Coral-List] large-scale patterns of benthic marine communities in the Brazilian Province

[Carlos Eduardo Leite Ferreira]

 Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to some new papers that were published
in the last few months as part of a huge effort of covering the whole
latitudinal extent of the Brazilian coast. These works were coordinated by
the Brazilian Marine Biodiversity Network (SISBIOTA-Mar):

3,855 photoquadrats later... a new paper on large-scale patterns of benthic
marine communities in the Brazilian Province was just published:

Aued A.W., Smith F., Quimbayo J.P., Cândido D.V., Longo G.O., Ferreira
C.E.L., Witman J.D., Floeter S.R. & Segal B. 2018. Large-scale patterns of
benthic marine communities in the Brazilian Province. PlosOne. DOI:
