Abstract The importance of a long‐term ecological perspective is well documented, yet data are not widely available. This paper represents the first quantitative description sublittoral sponge assemblages over long temporal scales (6 years) along coast East Pacific Ocean (Mazatlan Bay), with goal describing their levels intra‐ and inter‐annual variability, relationship to changing environmental conditions. It was possible detect an apparent short‐term pattern (intra‐annual), highly diverse...
Seagrass meadows are important for their ecological functions and ecosystem services, including habitat shelter a high diversity of species. The present study aims to assess the spatial distribution patterns macroinvertebrate assemblages associated with Thalassia testudinum beds in tropical coastal lagoon southern Gulf Mexico. Environmental variables core samples were taken from three shallow different degrees exposure wind-driven waves: protected, exposed semi-exposed. A total 40 benthic...

Abstract Sponges are one of the principal agents bioerosion and sediment production in coral reefs. They generate small carbonate chips that can be found sediments, we investigated whether these could provide a means for assessment applicable to reef monitoring. We tested this hypothesis on samples from 12 Mexican reefs distributed along Pacific coast, where boring sponges were particularly abundant, quantified amount superficial three grain‐size fractions: fine (<44 μm), medium (44–210...
Racekiela montemflumina sp. nov. is the first species of genus found in freshwater habitats from Mexico. The abundant small creeks at northern side State Durango, located between 2500 and 2700 m altitude. new description provided together with situ photographs specimens, SEM spicules gemmular structure. Two distinct classes gemmuloscleres differing size shape (birotules pseudobirotules) are present. rotule birotula discoidal, flat or slightly umbonate, serrated margins crenulate teeth,...
Abstract Scutellastra mexicana is the largest known patellid limpet species and probably one of most endangered marine invertebrates. The was once distributed along American Pacific coast from Mexico to Peru, but their large size (up 35 cm long) easy accessibility (shallow sublittoral), made it very vulnerable human collection now extinct on mainland Mexican coast. In August 2017, a population this found María Cleofas island, off west‐central (Marías Archipelago, Ocean). This constitutes...
Heteromeyenia is an important genus of freshwater sponges characterized mainly by the presence microscleres acanthoxeas. So far, two species are known from Mexico; H. baileyi and latitenta. In this paper, we redescribed latitenta described new riojai sp. nov. a morphological molecular perspective. The main characteristic foraminal aperture gemmule, which prolonged tube, flattened cirrous appendages extend laterally; absent in nov., bears short slightly elevated foramen. distinguished having...
Scutellastra mexicana (Broderip & G.B. Sowerby I, 1829) is the largest limpet in world and a highly endangered species from Eastern Pacific that has faced road to extinction during last decades. Despite relevance of S. mexicana, basic data, such as those relevant its biology ecology, have not been studied. In addition, previous descriptions were focused only on shell morphology with few details. Very different morphologies between small large-sized specimens reported previously, accordance...
