Ciliate microzooplankton are important grazers in most pelagic ecosystems and among them, tintinnids, with their largely species-specific loricas, allow relatively easy assessment of questions of diversity and distributions. Herein, we present the results

In the area around the archipelago of São Pedro e São Paulo (ASPSP), a set of small rocky islands in the Equatorial Atlantic, the thermocline begins at a more superficial depth than in the surrounding waters. This raises the question if there is any change

This study follows a previous work on the taxonomic survey on tintinnids (Suborder Tintinnina) collected in subtropical waters of the Southern Brazil (22°S-34°S). Samples were based in different oceanographic cruises covering shelf and oceanic waters.
