Article
Full-text available
Estuarine systems are highly productive ecosystems with diverse fish communities that provide valuable ecosystem services. The structure and ecology of fish communities in the estuarine systems of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System region (MBRS) is largely unknown. Here, the fish communities and their relationship with environmental variables wer...

Eutrophication is still a serious problem in many coastal areas, including the tropics, where river discharges of nutrients is usually high. The ecological stability and ecosystem services of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS), the world's second-largest coral reef system, suffer a generalized impact by riverine discharge of sediment and o...

Central America contains a rich diversity of freshwater habitats that support more than 600 species of freshwater fishes. However, despite several perceived threats to the integrity of the freshwater habitats throughout the region, a formal analysis of extinction risk for the region’s ichthyofauna is lacking. In this manuscript, we report an update...

Los Cayos Miskitos de Honduras están compuestos por 57 cayos, lugar de una alta diversidad de recursos marinos costeros que sustentan las comunidades Miskitas y en conjunto con los bancos arrecifales de la Moskitia proveen las pesquerías más importantes del país. A pesar de su gran importancia y el grado de explotación, el estado de estos recursos...
Article
Full-text available
Despite their incredible diversity, relatively little work has been done to assess impacts of climate change on tropical freshwater organisms. Chortiheros wesseli is a species of Neotropical cichlid (Cichlidae: Cichlinae) restricted to only a few river drainages in the Caribbean-slope of Honduras. Little is known about this species and few specimen...
Article
Temporarily open-closed estuaries and estuarine lagoons are among the most complex aquatic ecosystems, prone to undergo rapid changes in response to global change and other anthropogenic impacts. Nonetheless, studies on the factors that control annual cycles of phytoplanktonic biomass and primary production in such systems, especially tropical ones...

The main objective of this work was to analyze the recent rates of progradation and regression of an interior delta in the Los Micos lagoon, located in the Honduras Caribbean. The analysis focused on the anthropogenic and meteorological factors that have contributed to the accelerated deltaic formation and the potential effects on the natural physi...

Although several studies on the marine heterobranch gastropod fauna have been conducted in the Caribbean region, there is still a lack of knowledge on this group in Honduras. This study presents a checklist of "sea slug" species (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) resulting from a series of samples taken at two very shallow areas in the Caribbea...
