Functional developmental states of the Greater Caribbean coral reefs

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Trophic networks are the way by which energy is distributed through the ecosystem and out of it. Each ecosystem at a particular functional developmental state (FDS) has attributes that can be measured and understood through the food web.

Sea slugs (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) associated with Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) in southern Gulf of Mexico and Mexican Caribbean Sea

open access: yesJournal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2023
Abstract Cryptic species in coral reefs, such as sea slugs, represent an important portion of their biodiversity, which is usually underestimated. Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) have been implemented to estimate cryptic diversity in coral reefs.
