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 ...

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

Benthic hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from Alacranes Reef, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico
Bulletin of Marine Science, 2018 Here, we provide the first list of shallow-water hydroids for Alacranes Reef, Mexico, comprising 49 species in 33 genera. The most speciose superorder was Leptothecata (36 species), with three particularly diverse families: Clytiidae, Sertulariidae, and Plumulariidae.
