Sargassum landings have not compromised nesting of loggerhead and green sea turtles in the Mexican Caribbean

Journal of Environmental Management, 2021
The Mexican Caribbean is a vital nesting destination for loggerhead (Caretta caretta) and green (Chelonia mydas) sea turtles. Since 2015, massive periodical landings of pelagic Sargassum species (sargasso) have affected coastal ecosystems. Dense accumulations of sargasso on the shoreline may preclude access to sea turtles' preferred nesting areas and ...

Copepod Assemblages From a Reef-Related Environment in the Mexican Caribbean Sea

Crustaceana, 1998
Results on copepod composition and abundance from samples obtained in a reef zone in the northern part of the Mexican Caribbean Sea are presented here. Samples were collected monthly from June to December 1991 at four stations, two of them in the reef lagoon and two at the fore-reef. Salinity and temperature were homogeneous at the four sampling sites.

Siphonophores of upwelling areas of the Campeche Bank and the Mexican Caribbean Sea

Hydrobiologia, 1991
The siphonophore fauna off the Yucatan Peninsula and in the Mexican Caribbean Sea remains practically unknown. This communication describes the composition, abundance and distribution of Siphonophora during summer 1984 and spring 1985. The local distribution and abundance of siphonophores were found to be strongly influenced by upwellings, especially ...

Two New Monstrilloids (Copepoda: Monstrilloida) from the Coastal Area of the Mexican Caribbean Sea

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 1993
ABSTRACT From plankton samples taken in coastal areas of the eastern Yucatan Peninsula, Mexican Caribbean Sea, two new species of Monstrilloida (Copepoda) are described, Monstrilla rebs and Monstrillopsis ciqroi. Monstrilla rebis is distinguished as a new species mainly by the location of the oral papilla and the presence of two setae on both rami of ...

A New Species of Monstrilla (Copepoda, Monstrilloida) From the Mexican Coasts of the Caribbean Sea

Crustaceana, 1992
Une nouvelle espece de Monstrilla est decrite, en provenance de Bahia de la Ascension, une baie mexicaine en eau peu profonde, situee sur la cote est de la peninsule du Yucatan. La nouvelle espece se distingue par plusieurs caracteres et, entre autres, par la presence d'une carene anterieure ventrale, unique dans le groupe, et par la structure ...

Population discrimination of the French grunt, Haemulon flavolineatum (Desmarest, 1823) between the Campeche Bank and the Mexican Caribbean Sea, inferred by microsatellite loci

Regional Studies in Marine Science, 2021
Abstract Genetic structure of the French grunt Haemulon flavolineatum, population was determined in four localities, two located in the Campeche Bank (Cayo Arcas and Alacranes) and two in the Mexican Caribbean (Puerto Morelos and Banco Chinchorro) using microsatellite loci. Intra- and inter-population genetic variabilities, and genetic distances were
