The Sociedade Brasileira de Malacologia (Portuguese for Brazilian Society of Malacology), or SBMa in short, is a Brazilian scientific organization dedicated to the study, research, conservation, and dissemination of knowledge about mollusks. Founded in 1969, the society brings together researchers, students, and enthusiasts of malacology across Brazil, promoting activities that stimulate the advancement of biological and ecological sciences related to this group of organisms.

Objectives and mission

The main objectives of the Brazilian Malacological Society are to bring together scholars, professionals, and amateurs in malacology and related sciences; to encourage the study of mollusks and promote knowledge about them at all levels; to take feasible measures to preserve Brazil's malacofauna; to organize the Brazilian Malacology Meeting every two years; to register Brazilian malacological collections; and to represent malacologists at any events.

Activities

The SBMa organizes the Encontro Brasileiro de Malacologia (Portuguese for Brazilian Malacology Meeting), short EBRAM, one of the main forums for discussing mollusk-related topics in Brazil. To date, 28 Meetings have been held. At each meeting, research findings from society members and other researchers are presented in the form of oral communications, posters, lectures, and pannel discussions, among others. Additionally, the EBRAM features conferences, courses, workshops, technical visits, and other activities covering virtually all approaches of malacology, including anatomy and morphology, archaeology, biodiversity, biogeography, cultivation, conchology, ecology, evolution, ethnology, physiology, genetics, phylogeny, pathology, palaeontology, environmental sciences, reproduction and development, taxonomy, systematics, and education.

The society publishes the Informativo da Sociedade Brasileira de Malacologia, a news magazine aimed at reporting the latest research on mollusks developed by Brazilian researchers and providing communications of interest to the Brazilian malacological community.

Official logo

The original logo of the Brazilian Society of Malacology was based on a photograph of the shell of Titanostrombus goliath, also known as the goliath conch, a large endemic sea snail species found along the northeastern coast of Brazil. The design of the logo at the time was developed by the Malacology Sector of the National Museum of Brazil, in accordance with the resolutions from the VI Brazilian Malacology Meeting held in Rio Grande, in July 1979.

In 2013, during the XXIII Brazilian Malacology Meeting, with the main goal of modernizing and seeking a logo more suitable for current graphic tools, a decision was made to change the SBMa's symbol. Through image vectorization, the famous and iconic photograph of the goliath conch was redesigned into smoother, rounded forms, with the acronym, full name, and the year of the Society's founding at the top. Today, the current logo is featured on the Society's website and on all documents issued by the Society's board, such as announcements, receipts, certificates, and others.
