“…The warm-temperate ocean waters of southern California, and the subtropical waters of the Gulf of California (Mexico), show a warming trend during the past century (Lluch-Belda et al, 2009). As this trend is likely to continue, poleward expansion of tropical fish species is expected, and this phenomenon appears to already be taking place (Booth et al, 2018;Fernández-Rivera Melo et al, 2015;González-Cuéllar et al, 2013).…”

Tropicalization is a term used to describe the transformation of temperate ecosystems by poleward-moving tropical organisms in response to warming temperatures. In North America, decreases in the frequency and intensity of extreme winter cold events are expected to allow the poleward range expansion of many cold-sensitive tropical organisms, sometimes at the expense of temperate organisms. Although ecologists have long noted the critical ecological role of winter cold temperature extremes in tropicaltemperate transition zones, the ecological effects of extreme cold events have been understudied, and the influence of warming winter temperatures has too often been left out of climate change vulnerability assessments. Here, we examine the influence of extreme cold events on the northward range limits of a diverse group of tropical organisms, including terrestrial plants, coastal wetland plants, coastal fishes, sea turtles, terrestrial reptiles, amphibians, manatees, and insects. For these organisms, extreme This article has been contributed to by US Government employees and their work is in the public domain in the USA.

“…Presence of these species in the northern limit of the Tropical Eastern Pacific Province and previous records in Pacific islands might indicate a tendency in which tropical fish species are extending their ranges towards temperate environments. This tendency, also reported for species in the Gulf of California (González-Cuéllar et al, 2013;Martínez-Torres et al, 2014;Fernández-Rivera Melo et al, 2015), might be explained by the warm water intrusions into northern regions reported for 2014 (Peterson et al 2015).…”

Pomacanthids and Pomacentrids are mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, and inhabit shallow rocky and coral reefs. Due to their colorful patterns and unusual body shapes, they have been widely targeted by aquarium fish trade; these species are of great commercial interest. Here we document the occurrence of one Pomacanthid (Holacanthus clarionensis), and two Pomacentrids (Stegastes acapulcoensis, and S. leucorus) north of their reported distribution range during the 2014 warm water period in the eastern Tropical Eastern Pacific. Sightings took place at Magdalena-Almejas Bay complex, located in the western margin of the Baja California Peninsula. Using a series of abiotic data for the Tropical Eastern Pacific, we created a maximum entropy model for each species and identified that high probability of occurrence at Magdalena-Almejas Bay complex was only denoted for S. leucorus. Here we report the occurrence of H. clarionensis, S. acapulcoensis and S. leucorus 70 km, 300 km, and 300 km north of the northernmost reported limits.

“…Helminth larvae are transmitted from intermediate or paratenic host to their definitive hosts via predation, although smaller fish are more likely to be prey for the definitive host (Luque and Poulin 2004). Lutjanus inermis is the smallest lutjanid (> 38 cm of total length) that inhabits in the Mexican Pacific coast (Lucano-Ramírez et al 2012, Fernández-Rivera et al 2015. The mean total length of fish in this study ranged from 19.5 to 27.5 cm (Table 2), so fish of this size can be preyed upon by large predators.…”

Strange oceanographic events such as El Niño and La Niña may have indirect effects on the local transmission processes of intestinal parasites due to the reduction or increase in populations of potential intermediate or definitive hosts. A total of 713 individuals of Lutjanus inermis (Peters) were collected over an 8-year period (October 2015 to July 2022) from Acapulco Bay, Mexico. Parasite communities in L. inermis were quantified and analysed to determine if they experienced interannual variations in species composition and structure as a result of local biotic and abiotic factors influenced by oceanographic events, such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), or La Niña, the cool phase of the ENSO climate pattern. Twenty-six taxa of metazoan parasites were recovered and identified: two Monogenea, eight Digenea, two Acanthocephala, four Nematoda, one Cestoda, seven Copepoda, and two Isopoda. Species richness at the component community level (8 to 17 species) was similar to reported richness in other species of Lutjanus Bloch. Parasite communities of L. inermis exhibited high inter-annual variation in the abundance of component species of parasite. However, the species richness and diversity were fairly stable over time. Climatic episodes of El Niño and La Niña probably generated notable changes in the structure of local food webs, thus indirectly influencing the transmission rates of intestinal parasite species. Changes in species composition and community structure of parasites possibly were due to variations in feeding behaviour during the events and differences in the host body size.
