ABSTRACT

Strong evidence shows that exposure and engagement with the natural world not only improve human wellbeing but can also help promote environmentally friendly behaviors. Human-nature relationships are at the heart of global agendas promoted by international organizations including the World Health Organization's (WHO) "One Health" and the United Nations (UN) "Ocean Decade." These agendas demand collaborative multisector interdisciplinary efforts at local, national, and global levels. However, while global agendas highlight global goals for a sustainable world, developing science that directly addresses these agendas from design through to delivery and outputs does not come without its challenges. In this article, we present the outcomes of international meetings between researchers, stakeholders, and policymakers from the United Kingdom and Brazil. We propose a model for interdisciplinary work under such global agendas, particularly the interface between One Health and the UN Ocean Decade and identify three priority research areas closely linked to each other: human-nature connection, conservation-human behavior, and implementation strategies (bringing stakeholders together). We also discuss a number of recommendations for moving forward.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This study describes the biodiversity of benthic invertebrates on hard substrates in the Currais Marine Protected Area (Currais MPA), in the state of Paraná. The benthic community was sampled during 2012 to 2015, in winter and summer, at two islands and four groups of artificial reefs (ARs). Samples were collected along shallow (2-4 m) and deep (6-8 m) transects at the islands and ~18 m transects at the ARs. We also searched the literature to review all published records of benthic invertebrates on hard substrates in the Currais MPA. We recorded 176 taxa in the phyla Annelida (class Polychaeta), Arthropoda (class Maxillopoda, order Sessilia), Bryozoa, Cnidaria, Chordata (class Ascidiacea), Echinodermata, Mollusca and Porifera, in 13 classes, 40 orders and 75 families. With these 102 new records, our list comprises 58% of all recorded species. Of these, 58 taxa were first records for the state of Paraná. This remarkable number of new records highlights that biodiversity studies are lacking in Paraná. Fifteen non-indigenous species and one endangered species, the sea star Coscinasterias tenuispina (Lamarck, 1816), are included. This is an important transitional area to monitor expansion or constriction of the latitudinal distributions of species, in the context of climate change, that may influence the geographical distribution of species (both native and invasive). This study is the first inventory of marine hard substrate habitats of the Currais MPA with a surprisingly diverse community.


Resumo Este estudo descreve a biodiversidade da comunidade de invertebrados bênticos de ambientes rochosos da Área Marinha Protegida de Currais (AMP Currais), localizada no estado do Paraná. A comunidade bêntica foi amostrada entre 2012 e 2015, durante períodos de inverno e verão, em duas ilhas e quatro grupos de recifes artificiais (RAs). As amostras foram obtidas em transecções rasas (2-4 m) e mais profundas (6-8 m) nas ilhas e a ~18 m nos RAs. Também foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica para examinar todos os registros de invertebrados bênticos publicados para a área da AMP Currais. Foram encontrados 176 táxons pertencentes aos filos Annelida (classe Polychaeta), Arthropoda (classe Maxillopoda, ordem Sessilia), Bryozoa, Cnidaria, Chordata (classe Ascidiacea), Echinodermata, Mollusca e Porifera, distribuídos em 13 classes, 40 ordens e 75 famílias. Há 102 novos registros para a área, representando 58% de todas as espécies registradas. Destes, 58 táxons não haviam sido registrados anteriormente no estado do Paraná. Este notável número de novos registros revela a falta de estudos sobre a biodiversidade no litoral do Paraná. Quinze espécies exóticas foram encontradas, e uma espécie em extinção, a estrela-do-mar Coscinasterias tenuispina. Esta é uma importante área de transição para acompanhar a expansão ou constrição da distribuição latitudinal das espécies, considerando as alterações climáticas que poderão influenciar na distribuição geográfica das espécies (tanto nativas quanto invasoras). O presente estudo constitui o primeiro inventário dos habitats de substrato rochoso da AMP Currais e revela grande biodiversidade.
