The tribe Spongoclonieae (Ceramiaceae subfam. Spongoclonioideae) is represented on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Mexico by two genera: Pleonosporium with eight species and Spongoclonium with a single species. Pleonosporium boergesenii and P. borreri are both new records for Atlantic Mexico. Known in Pacific and Atlantic Mexico, P. rhizoideum h...

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...

Studies of benthic marine and estuarine algae as well as Cyanobacteria are in their early stages in the littoral of the state of Tabasco. Sixty seven taxa of seaweeds are currently known from Tabasco. The inventory of these organisms was made based on samples obtained in six localities, three of them in marine and three in estuarine environments. W...

The green algae (Chlorophyta) recorded in the literature and reported at herbaria for the littoral of Veracruz were reviewed, and data obtained from sampling during 2006 to 2016 were added for a total of 93 taxa. The Cladophoraceae family was the best represented with 28 taxa, followed by Ulvaceae with 15 and Caulerpaceae with 12. The floristic lis...

The species diversity of the red algal genus Ochtodes from Caribbean Mexico is reconsidered after a new collection in this region. A combined analysis of plastid rbcL sequences together with detailed morphological studies has confirmed the presence of two undescribed species in addition to Ochtodes secundiramea. Ochtodes akumalensis sp. nov. has ab...

This report describes a new record and two unusual and rare species of marine algae collected from Oaxaca, Michoacán, Jalisco and Baja California Sur at Mexican Pacific coast. Boodleopsis verticillata is the first record in the Pacific shore of Mexico, in the case of Melobesia polystromatica, this is the sixth record at tropical Pacific while Litho...

The Mexican Caribbean and the Atlantic coast of Mexico have 3,294 km of coastline with diverse habitats and rich biota. Coastal ecosystems, unfortunately, are experiencing wide range of pressures due to siltation, eutrophication, coastal development and climate change. Those species that adapt to these pressures will expand their living boundaries...

This paper provides the first critical revision of the articulated coralline algae Amphiroa and Jania along the Atlantic coast of Mexico and Mexican Caribbean, based on morphological and anatomical characters of numerous specimens both genera. We found six species of Amphiroa, including one new record for this region: Amphiroa valonioides. In the o...

Family Hapalidiaceae is represented in the Atlantic coast of Mexico by three genera and five species. Lithothamnion sejunctum is a new record for Mexico and represents the third record since it was first described and L. crispatum is recorded for the first time for North America Continent. L. crispatum and L. occidentale are developing as maerl in...

A survey on the genus Lithophyllum was conducted in the Gulf coasts of Mexico and Mexican Caribbean. The material was collected in the insular and coastal region of Veracruz, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo, during 1990-2012; in addition specimens of Lithophyllum deposited in the herbarium ENCB were reviewed. Characters useful were defined to id...
