This study evaluated the relationship between indices known as Reef Health Index (RHI) and two-dimensional Coral (2D-CHI) different representative metrics of biological, ecological functional diversity fish corals in 101 reef sites located across seven zones western Caribbean Sea. Species richness average taxonomic distinctness were used to asses biological estimation; while was with Shannon Pielou´s evenness, well by distinctness. Functional considered number groups, evenness. According...
The Mexican Central Pacific is located in a zone of oceanographic transition between two biogeographic provinces with particular conditions that affect the associated fauna. objective this study was to evaluate variation hermatypic coral assemblages region and determine their relationship heterogeneity benthonic habitat spatial variables. A total 156 transects were carried out at 41 sites years 2010 2011. sampling effort returned 96.7% richness expected for area, 15 species recorded. results...
Bacterial assemblages associated with the hermatypic corals Pocillopora damicornis and P. verrucosa, surrounding seawater sediment at six coral reef sites in north section of Tropical Eastern Pacific were assessed using MiSeq Illumina sequencing V4 region 16S rDNA. The bacterial microbiota both species, stable to seasonal variations. between same substrates not significantly different from each other sampled. Interestingly, composition within site was different, or not, depending on...
The effect of thermal stress (heat shock) on survival was evaluated for advanced larval stages and the possible delay metamorphosis in competent larvae also purple sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus under laboratory conditions. Eight-arm precompetent were kept at 15, 19, 23, 28, 31 ºC during 24 h to estimate their tolerance measure each treatment. Delay exposed heat shock treatments 20, 24, 32 30 min. After this, induced metamorphose presence biofilms KCl. Our results indicated that...
Abstract Identifying the core microbiome structure of a metaorganism can be used to monitor impact perturbation against it and changes in its stability (i.e., dysbiosis), resistance, resilience. The core‐microbiome interaction regulates holobiont health homeostasis is an indicator resilience whole community. This study determined exclusive shared taxa two reef‐building coral species ( Pocillopora damicornis P. verrucosa ), as well surrounding seawater sediment, six communities along...
In this study, the bacterial microbiota associated with apparently healthy corals of Acropora palmata, Orbicella faveolata, and Porites porites surrounding seawater sediment were evaluated via MiSeq Illumina sequencing V4 region 16S rRNA at three reef sites in Mexican Caribbean. Bacterial assemblages sediments showed no significant differences between sites. The colonies A. palmata a dominance families Amoebophilaceae, Spirochaetaceae, Myxococcaceae, Cyclobacteriaceae. Meanwhile, O....
Los ensamblajes bacterianos asociados a los octocorales les aportan estrategias defensivas mediante la producción de compuestos antimicrobianos para protección frente microorganismos patógenos al evitar colonización por otros microorganismos. Debido disminución en el descubrimiento nuevos entornos terrestres, potencial las cepas bacterianas marinas representa una fuente novedosos bioactivos. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar actividad antimicrobiana Bacillus australimaris y Pseudoalteromonas sp....
El papel funcional de las bacterias asociadas a corales y su contribución la salud del coral es aún desconocido en gran medida. Es necesario que primero se caracterice el ensamblaje microbiano sus cambios diversidad través especies coral, espacio tiempo. Los ramificados (e.g., género Pocillopora) son los principales constructores arrecifales nivel mundial. Este estudio evaluó estructura bacteriana asociada al mucus tejidos Pocillopora damicornis verrucosa, así como agua mar sedimentos...
The bacterial assemblages associated with Acropora palmata from the Mexican Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico were analyzed by high throughput sequencing 16S rRNA gene. Samples taken four substrates: apparently healthy corals, corals white band disease, seawater sediment surrounding these corals. showed no significant differences among sampling sites substrates, except between A. sediments. In contrast, dominance patterns important differences; members genera Stenotrophomonas, Spirochaeta,...
In Mexico, land use changes have significantly impacted the diversity of amphibians and reptiles in a negative way. light this, we evaluate alpha beta components taxonomic heterogeneous landscape west-central Mexico. Additionally, provide checklist amphibian reptile species recorded over nine years observations within studied surrounding areas. The cover/use types with highest richness differed between reptiles. Overall was high for both groups, but slightly higher This differentiation...
Abstract The starfish Luidia magnifica (Asteroidea: Paxillosida: Luidiidae) is one of the biggest multiradiate in world that occurs Philippines, French Polynesia, and Hawaiian Islands. Since its description 1905 by Fisher, very few observations this species have been documented therefore, limited information available on species. We present new shallow-water records for Mexican Pacific obtained between 2017 2021. A total 15 specimens L. were recorded bay Manzanillo, Colima, central Pacific....
