“…Neogoniolithon is the most important component of Mexican Caribbean coral reefs (Huerta-Múzquiz et al 1987, Mendoza-González & Mateo-Cid 1992, Ortega et al 2001, Mateo-Cid & Pedroche 2004 and is also very common on most of the rocky shores. However, despite Neogoniolithon's abundance, representatives of this genus from Mexico have not been critically studied.…”

This is the first revision of Neogoniolithon species on the east coast of Mexico based on both DNA sequences (psbA) and morpho-anatomical characters. Nine species names are provisionally applied based on morpho-anatomical comparisons with type specimens or with species descriptions: N. accretum, N. acropetum, N. erosum, N. mamillare, N. propinquum, N. rhizophorae, N. solubile, N. spectabile and N. strictum. For none of these species was type or topotype material sequenced, but all have their type localities in the subtropical or tropical western Atlantic Ocean. Neogoniolithon siankanensis is described on the basis of a distinctive branched thallus, apical tetrasporangial conceptacles and DNA sequence. Another four species are present, each characterized by DNA sequence, but insufficient reproductive material was available to adequately describe these species. A suite of vegetative and reproductive characters can adequately segregate the currently named Mexican east coast Neogoniolithon species, including 1) branched versus unbranched thalli, 2) monomerous versus dimerous construction, 3) disposition of trichocytes, 4) interior dimensions of mature tetrasporangial conceptacles, 5) number of cell layers comprising tetrasporangial conceptacle roof and 6) shape of cells that line tetrasporangial pore canal. Morpho-anatomical descriptions and distributions are provided for all named species.

“…The shape of stipe appendages agrees with those described by , and the dimensions of blade and stipe siphons are also consistent with description of and Collado-Vides et al (2009). The presence of this taxon could not be confirmed by the collection in Quintana Roo littoral, as mentioned by Huerta-Múzquiz et al (1987), Mendoza-González & Mateo-Cid (1992), Dreckmann et al (1996), Aguilar-Rosas et al (1998), Mendoza-González et al (2000), Aguilar-Rosas et al (2001) and Collado-Vides et al (2009), neither in the Campeche shoreline , possibly because this species is distributed at depths greater than those sampled in this study and only one specimen was obtained from the Yucatan coast. Udotea cyathiformis is recorded for the first time for the Yucatan littoral.…”

“…cited 21 taxa of Udotea for the Tropical Western Atlantic. Recently, Wynne (2017) recorded 23 infrageneric taxa (17 species, five forms and one variety) for the tropical and subtropical Western Atlantic, of them 16 have been documented for the littoral of the Yucatan peninsula: Sixteen taxa of Udotea have been reported for Quintana Roo coast (Huerta-Múzquiz 1958, Huerta-Múzquiz & Garza-Barrientos 1966, Taylor 1972, Garza-Barrientos 1975, Huerta-Múzquiz & Garza-Barrientos 1980, Huerta-Múzquiz et al 1987, Aguilar-Rosas et al 1989, Aguilar-Rosas 1990, Mendoza-González & Mateo-Cid 1992, Dreckmann et al 1996, Aguilar-Rosas et al 1998, Mendoza-González et al 2000, Aguilar-Rosas et al 2001 NA isolation and nucleotide sequencing Partial sequence of the rbcL gene sequences was used to verify the identity of the genus Udotea from the collected samples. A total of ten field collected samples of Udotea algae (six corticated and four uncorticated specimens) were preserved in silica gel desiccant (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) before DNA extraction.…”

A survey of the diversity, distribution, and taxonomy of the genus Udotea from the Yucatan peninsula littoral, Mexico, is presented. The results are based on a review of herbarium specimens, bibliographic data, and collections made by the authors during 2012-2016 at 34 localities along the study area. Macro and microscopic characteristics, relevant photographs, and descriptions are provided for each taxon. A total of 17 taxa of Udotea were recognized. One new record is cited for Quintana Roo, two for Yucatan, and five for Campeche coasts. The Quintana Roo littoral presents the highest number of Udotea species (17), followed by Campeche (13), and finally Yucatan (9). The Udotea taxa could be segregate by the presence of lateral appendages in the blade siphons and, the shape of the lateral appendages of the blade and stipe siphons.

“…En la temporada climática de secas, se encontró un mayor número de especies de algas epífitas en Santa Rosa que las reportadas previamente para el Caribe mexicano por QuanYoung et al (2006), pero inferior a las registradas por MateoCid & Mendoza-González (1991) y Mendoza-González & Mateo-Cid (1992). En el caso de las especies localizadas en Penacho del Indio, Veracruz, se ubicó un número mayor que los determinados por Mateo-Cid et al (1996) y Robinson et al (2012), lo que permite fortalecer los registros de riqueza específica para la zona de estudio.…”

“…Además se encontraron especímenes de los géneros Gayliella T.O.Cho, L.J.McIvor & S.M.Boo, Herposiphonia Nägeli, Lophosiphonia Falkenberg y Polysiphonia Greville sobre la misma hoja, con 3 diferentes estadios reproductivos: gametangios, carposporangios y tetrasporangios, es decir, las 3 generaciones que constituyen el ciclo de vida de estas algas rojas. El hecho que la fase esporofitica fuera la más abundante representa una ventaja, ya que requieren de un menor gasto energético para la formación de esporas, hay una diseminación en forma rápida, una dispersión eficiente, una alta probabilidad de fijación y (Huerta-Múzquiz et al 1987, MateoCid & Mendoza-González 1991, Mendoza-González & Mateo-Cid 1992, Aguilar-Rosas et al 1998, Mateo-Cid & Mendoza-González 2007.

Abstract.-The seagrass Thalassia testudinum harbors a high specific richness of epiphytic algae due to its morphology and abundance on the coast of the Mexican Atlantic. Epiphytic algae are an important component because of its taxonomic composition and functional groups; additionally, they can be employed as bioindicators. The composition of epiphytic algae of a common forophyte was compared in two ecoregions: Santa Rosa, Quintana Roo with oligotrophic waters and Penacho del Indio, Veracruz with eutrophic waters. Larger coverage of foliate and filamentous algae was expected in the Penacho del Indio prairie due to its eutrophic nature. Seventy seven species of epiphytes were determined, 43 in Penacho del Indio and 46 in Santa Rosa. Overall, 17 species belonged to Cyanobacteria, 38 to Rhodophyta, 11 to Phaeophyceae and 11 to Chlorophyta. Chondria pygmaea, Myrionema magnusii, Hecatonema floridanum, Rosenvingea sanctae-crucis and 7 cyanobacteria represent new registers for the Atlantic coast of Mexico. Centroceras hyalacanthum and Myrionema strangulans are new records for Veracruz. The functional groups were represented by: 39 filamentous algae, 20 microalgae, 9 corticated macrophytes, 5 foliose algae, 3 crustose and one calcareous articulated macrophyte. Red algae displayed the highest specific richness at both sites, followed by green algae in Penacho del Indio and microalgae in Santa Rosa. Epiphytism of foliate, filamentous, as well as corticated macrophytes, had larger coverage and biomass in Penacho del Indio. The prominent development of Ulva at this locality supports its eutrophic condition, whereas epiphytes composition in Santa Rosa suggests the existence of oligotrophic waters.
