A dataset on the species composition of amphipods (Crustacea) in a Mexican marine national park: Alacranes Reef, Yucatan [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2018
Alacranes Reef was declared as a National Marine Park in 1994. Since then, many efforts have been made to inventory its biodiversity. However, groups such as amphipods have been underestimated or not considered when benthic invertebrates were inventoried.

Does depth divide? Variable genetic connectivity patterns among shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa coral populations across the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
We assessed the population genetic connectivity of shallow and mesophotic Montastraea cavernosa corals using a 2bRAD sequencing approach across the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean. We found that there was generally significant genetic structuring between shallow and mesophotic depth zones and between the Gulf of Mexico and western Caribbean ...

Taxonomic History and State of Knowledge of the Marine Species in Nostocales (Cyanoprokaryote) From the Mexican Atlantic. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this manuscript we contribute a revision of Cyanoprokaryotes Nostocales in the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Caribbean; the list of species was updated taxonomically. Also, the historical analysis of their taxonomy was carried out. ABSTRACT Cyanoprokaryotes are organisms that perform oxygenic photosynthesis.

Validating a molecular clock for nudibranchs-No fossils to the rescue. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, for the first time, we derive divergence rates for nudibranchs using multigene data from a previously undetected geminate pair, with rates exceeding those reported for shelled gastropods. We also erect a new species designation for the Western Atlantic clade, Chromolaichma hemera sp.

Red Algae From Insular Environments in the Mexican Atlantic: Taxonomic Diversity, Conservation, and Biogeographic Affinities [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
One of the most representative groups of the Mexican insular environments is the red algae; although extensive information exists on the insular phycoflora of Mexico, there is no description of the distribution of the group's taxonomic diversity, and few

Strong linkage between parrotfish functions and habitat characteristics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Phase shifts from hard coral to macroalgae have led to the formulation of a top-down herbivory paradigm, whose assumption is that a reduction in herbivory is the primary driver of these changes.

Stratigraphic evolution and karstification of a Cretaceous Mid‐Pacific atoll (Resolution Guyot) resolved from core‐log‐seismic integration and comparison with modern and ancient analogues

Basin Research, Volume 34, Issue 5, Page 1536-1566, October 2022., 2022
Seismic‐stratigraphic analysis of Resolution Guyot as a prime examples of the Cretaceous Mid‐Pacific atolls revealed controls from the Cretaceous eustasy on the evolution and karstification of the Cretaceous Mid‐Pacific atolls along with other factors including changes in subsidence and production rates and later magmatic activity(ies). Abstract Atolls
