Introduction
Im a marine biologist with a doctorate in Marine Ecology. Im a full-time professor at the Interdisciplinary Center for Marine Sciences of the National Polytechnic Institute. My area of specialization focuses on reef ecology, with a particular emphasis on studying unfavorable conditions for ecosystems, as well as temporal and spatial monitoring of diseases with ecological implications. Currently I lead projects assessing the condition of coral reefs and identifying threats to their preservation.

This dataset comes from a multi-institution compilation of monitoring information for 13 marine herbivorous fishes belonging to six genera of five families: Acanthuridae, Girellidae, Kyphosidae, Pomacentridae and Scaridae, gathered from 2005 to 2020 in the Gulf of California. The database presents a total of 884 records of biomass and density got f...
A core challenge in ecology is identifying the factors that determine species distribution and functional diversity of species assemblages. Reef fish are the most diverse group of vertebrates, form taxonomically rich and functionally diverse communities and represent a key source of food for humans. We examine regional distribution patterns of reef...

La mayoría de las comunidades coralinas del Pacífico mexicano están ubicadas en Áreas Naturales Protegidas (ANPs); sin embargo, están en riesgo por amenazas climáticas y antropogénicas. Con el fin de promover la conservación de arrecifes de coral en el Pacífico mexicano, se ha formado la Red de Conservación de los Corales del Pacífico mexicano. Los...
Los corales se caracterizan por formar un holobionte, que en realidad es una comunidad diversa de microorganismos. Particularmente, las comunidades bacterianas juegan un rol importante en la salud de los corales. Una de las enfermedades que ha mermado a los corales en varias partes del mundo es el llamado síndrome blanco, que se caracteriza por una...
Coral diseases, such as White Syndrome (WS), are characterized by tissue loss and threaten coral reefs worldwide. In the eastern tropical Pacific (ETP), WS is present in Pocillopora species, although no massive mortality events have yet been reported in the region. Nonetheless, understanding the factors that trigger the appearance of WS in these ec...
Introducción:
Una de las amenazas actuales para los arrecifes de coral es la pérdida de cobertura de coral vivo. La depredación masiva asociada con los brotes poblaciones de la estrella corona de espinas, amenaza la permanencia de los arrecifes. Desde 2017, ha habido evidencia de un incremento en la densidad de el asteroideo y de un incremento en l...
Reef corals in the Mexican Reef System have been severely affected by the emergence of a white syndrome that resembles both White Plague II and SCTLD descriptions. Meandroid scleractinian coral species are among the most severely affected. To gain insight into this affliction we conducted a broad study in the brain coral Pseudodiploria strigosa at...
The crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) inhabits coral reefs across the Pacific Ocean. Based on studies in the Western Pacific, when densities exceed ∼15 specimens per ha, coral reef degradation due to COTS predation may occur. There is little information about the role of COTS on coral reefs in the tropical eastern Pacific, although p...
Resumen Las investigaciones sobre corales arrecifales se han desarrollado en la Bahía de La Paz desde el siglo XIX, y los avances en el conocimiento han sido sustanciales. Aquí presentamos una revisión de la información más relevante sobre las formaciones coralinas de esta región. Se discuten tópicos como historia de la investigación, 10
Disease in coral species is one factor associated with the current degradation process of tropical reefs. The history of research on coral pathologies dates to 1970 with the first reports of diseases in the Greater Caribbean and Indo-Pacific regions, although some anecdotal observa- tions were made earlier. Today, there is information on the health...
Guía con descripciones de las alteraciones morfológicas asociadas con lesiones por interacción biológica o enfermedades, registradas en corales del Pacífico americano. Pautas para su registro y clasificación
Corals routinely lose tissue due to causes ranging from predation to disease. Tissue healing and regeneration are fundamental to the normal functioning of corals, yet we know little about this process. We described the microscopic morphology of wound repair in Pocillopora damicornis. Tissue was removed by airbrushing fragments from three healthy co...
Las enfermedades son un factor que globalmente influye en la degradación de los arrecifes coralinos. Existe poca información respecto al estado de salud de los corales en el Pacífico Oriental Tropical; específicamente en el Pacífico mexicano, se han hecho las primeras descripciones de las lesiones morfológicas presentes en las colonias, lo que ha l...
Coral reefs rival rainforest in biodiversity, but are declining in part because of disease. Tissue loss lesions, a manifestation of disease, are present in dominant Pocillopora along the Pacific coast of Mexico. We characterized tissue loss in 7 species of Pocillopora from 9 locations (44 sites) spanning southern to northern Mexico. Corals were ide...
Este catálogo hace parte de los resultados de mi tesis de maestría y en él se describen a nivel macro y microscópico las lesiones observadas en colonias de Pocillopora spp., en el Pacífico mexicano
Este es un manual que brinda isntrucciones para la recolecta y análisis de muestras de coral para estudios de histopatología. Elaborado por el Dr. Thierry Martin Work. HFS-USGS. Traducción al español: Jenny Carolina Rodríguez Villalobos.
Coral reefs are threatened by a variety of factors including diseases that have caused significant damage in some regions such as in the Caribbean. At present, no data are available on coral diseases in the Mexican Pacific where Pocillopora spp. is a dominant component of coral communities. Here, we describe gross and microscopic morphology of lesi...
las enfermedades que afectan a las diversas especies de fauna silvestre se han incrementado en los últimos años como consecuencia de diversos factores tanto naturales como ocasionados por el hombre, lo cual es de particular interés, debido al riesgo de ser transmitidas al ser humano. las enfermedades que padecen organismos silvestres y pueden conta...
