“…En este estudio se ubicó un bajo número de especies de Chlorophyta en estado reproductivo, hecho que coincide con lo registrado en diversos estudios florísticos realizados en las costas mexicanas (Mateo-Cid y Mendoza-González, 1991, 1992Mendoza-González et al, 2011). Esta situación puede deberse a que las especies se encontraban en estadios juveniles y a que las fases sexuales de estos organismos tienen un periodo corto de vida (Mendoza-González et al, 2011;Santelices, 1977), asimismo los mecanismos de reproducción de este grupo de algas implican la rápida formación de estructuras de reproducción y liberación de gametos móviles (Acosta-Calderón et al, 2016). Además, la temperatura, la luz, el fotoperiodo y los nutrientes, intervienen en la reproducción de las algas; por ejemplo, Coppejans et al (2001) mencionan que la aparición de estructuras de reproducción en Ulvophyceae es estacional.…”

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad 89 (2018): 971 -985 Taxonomía y sistemática Nuevos registros y lista actualizada de las algas verdes (Chlorophyta) del litoral de Michoacán, México New records and updated list of green algae (Chlorophyta) from the coast of Michoacan, MexicoResumen Se realizó una investigación bibliográfica y de herbario de algas verdes (Chlorophyta, Ulvophyceae) registradas para el litoral de Michoacán, México. Se incorporaron datos obtenidos de muestreos realizados en 10 localidades de 2006 a 2014, con el fin de contribuir al conocimiento de las Chlorophyta de la región. Se determinaron 56 taxones (52 especies, 3 variedades y 1 subespecie), 33 de ellos son nuevos registros para Michoacán, se citan por primera vez: Blidingia minima var. vexata, Bryopsis pennata var. secunda, Cladophora crispula y Ulva chaetomorphoides para la costa del Pacífico de México. Las familias mejor representadas fueron Cladophoraceae con 15 taxones y Ulvaceae con 10. De los 32 registros previos en el área de estudio, se corroboró la presencia de 23, por lo que el número de clorofíceas de Michoacán se incrementó de 32 a 65 taxones. La lista florística se acompaña con datos de presencia, estacionalidad, estado fenológico, hábitat y referencias bibliográficas. Se comparó la riqueza específica entre las estaciones climáticas de lluvias y de secas durante el periodo de estudio, encontrándose el número más alto de taxones en la primera. El litoral de Michoacán tiene una riqueza específica alta de Chlorophyta comparada con Nayarit, Colima, Jalisco, Guerrero y Chiapas. AbstractThe green algae (Chlorophyta, Ulvophyceae) recorded in the literature and specimens at herbaria from the littoral of Michoacan were extensively reviewed. Additionally, these data were supplemented with sampling in 10 localities from 2006 to 2014. A total of 56 infrageneric taxa of green algae (52 species, 3 varieties and 1 subspecies) were A.C.

The Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka'an located in the Mexican Caribbean, where greatest diversity of seaweeds has been recorded. Despite of diversity and species richness there are limited phycological studies in the study area, suggesting that species diversity is not completely known. We reported species that complement previous reports of brown algae collected from the study area. In addition, brown algae recorded in the literature and the species present in the herbaria for the Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka'an were also included, and data obtained from sampling at eleven localities during 2009 to 2012 were added. In all 50 infrageneric taxa are reported. Families Dictyotaceae and Sargassaceae comprised the most species richness. The presence of 11 species of Phaeophyceae is reported for the first time for the study area. Of them, Symphyocarpus strangulans is a new record for the Mexican Atlantic; eight species are new records for study area and two for Quintana Roo. The highest number of species was recorded for Punta Xoquem and Pulticub, while the lowest number of taxa was in Cayo Valencia. The highest number of species was found in summer rains, the lowest in winter rains. The obtained data highlights the high specific richness of Phaeophyceae indicating that the Sian Ka'an Reserve should be considered a priority area due to its great biodiversity. Moreover, these results will be a basis for future ecological, utilization and conservation studies.

The Depositional Record

The dynamic inter‐relationships between marine and freshwater carbonate depositional environments are illustrated in the Sian Ka'an Wetlands, a 5 280 km2 complex of groundwater‐fed freshwater marshes, lakes and brackish coastal lagoons in the South‐East Yucatán Peninsula (Mexico). The Yucatán Platform was subaerially emergent and extensively karstified during the last glacial maximum at 18, 000 yr bp. The Late Holocene transgression has caused progressive reflooding of the continental margin, backstepping of the MesoAmerican Reef and encroachment of coastal environments into the platform interior as rising groundwaters flood an interconnected cave and sinkhole system and feed seasonal marshes above. The Sian Ka'an Wetlands form a vast palustrine carbonate factory which is directly juxtaposed and dynamically linked with the marine carbonate factory to seaward. Continuing sea‐level rise has caused synchronous landward migration of marginal marine and freshwater environments as beach barriers were breached and palustrine sloughs flooded to form marginal marine seagrass lagoons. The Rio Hondo Fault conditions fluid inflow while the sub‐environments of the Sian Ka'an Wetlands reflect tectonic controls on microtopography and hydroperiod. Modern analogues for the Sian Ka'an Wetlands include the Florida Everglades, formed during transgression of the Florida Platform, and relict marsh environments preserved on leeward shores of Andros, Abaco and other Bahama islands. A wide range of ancient examples deposited in coastal and continental interior settings similarly reflect seasonal aquifer rise in response to marine transgression and/or onlap of late‐stage basin fill onto a karstified pediment. Freshwater palustrine carbonate factories on carbonate platforms are transient deposystems, controlled by subtle water depth, climate, vegetation and hydrological factors while being critically sensitive to sea‐level changes and tectonics. The preservation potential of palustrine carbonates may be relatively low in coastal settings due to erosion or shallow marine overprinting, while greater further inland where marine flooding is rarer and in tectonically subsident continental interior basins where accommodation space is continuously created.
