Veneridae is one of the largest families of Recent, also one of the most diverse within Bivalvia, being found in marine and estuarine environments. Biogeographic studies are important for the management and conservation of the biodiversity. This paper aims at inferring the latitudinal and longitudinal distribution patterns, gathering and listing Vene-ridae composition for the Brazilian coast through secondary d...
Prior to Brazil's worst environmental disaster, caused by a mining dam collapse, we had carried out a study of the marine benthic macrofauna (11–51 m depth) under the influence of the Doce River. Our results showed significant diversity, in which mollusks, polychaetes, and crustaceans had the highest frequency, density, and abundance, represented by 162 families in summer and 173 in winter. Our results suggeste...
