7. Where is the genus Elysia in the western Atlantic? Potential distribution, species richness and representation in marine protected areas.

Abstract

The western Atlantic Ocean is one of the areas with the largest species richness of sea slugs in the genus Elysia (30 out of the 101 species described have been reported in this region). Nevertheless, the lack of knowledge on many of these species hinders efforts to estimate regional richness and identify the factors affecting their distribution. We used the maximum entropy algorithm Maxent to develop ecological niche models for 14 species of Elysia in the western Atlantic Ocean. These models were meant to show the potential distribution of the genus and identify locations with the highest richness. Input data used to build niche models were presence records (obtained from several sources) and bioclimatic and geophysical variables from the Bio-ORACLE and MARSPEC platforms. Species with less than seven records were considered for the calculation of richness, but not for modelling. Results show low habitat suitability for the species modelled here at the mouth of rivers and in hypoxic zones and low-temperature areas. The two variables that best explained species distribution patterns were the distance to shore and the maximum monthly temperature. From the total area with adequate environmental conditions for the genus, only 20.3% is located within marine areas under some protection category. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background Alacranes Reef was declared as a National Marine Park in 1994. Since then, many efforts have been made to inventory its biodiversity. However, groups such as amphipods have been underestimated or not considered when benthic invertebrates were inventoried. Here we present a dataset that contributes to the knowledge of benthic amphipods (Crustacea, Peracarida) from the inner lagoon habitats from the Alacranes Reef National Park, the largest coral reef ecosystem in the Gulf of Mexico. The dataset contains information on records collected from 2009 to 2011. Data are available through Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). New information A total of 110 amphipod species distributed in 93 nominal species and 17 generic species, belonging to 71 genera, 33 families and three suborders are presented here. This information represents the first online dataset of amphipods from the Alacranes Reef National Park. The biological material is currently deposited in the crustacean collection from the regional unit of the National Autonomous University of Mexico located at Sisal, Yucatan, Mexico (UAS-Sisal). The biological material includes 588 data records with a total abundance of 6,551 organisms. The species inventory represents, until now, the richest fauna of benthic amphipods registered from any discrete coral reef ecosystem in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Mollusk diversity in coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) has been studied extensively, but this is not the case for deep-water habitats. We present the first quantitative characterization of mollusks in shallow and deep waters of the Perdido Fold Belt. The data came from two research cruises completed in 2017. Sediment samples were collected from 56 sites using a 0.25-m2 box corer. We tested hypotheses about spatial patterns of α, β, and γ-diversity of bivalves in two water-depth zones, the continental shelf (43–200 m) and bathyal zone (375–3563 m). A total of 301 bivalves belonging to 39 species were identified. The two zones display similar levels of γ-diversity, but host different bivalve assemblages. In general, α-diversity was higher on the continental shelf, whereas β-diversity was higher in the bathyal zone. These patterns can be explained by the higher input of carbon (energy) to the near-coast shelf zone, as well as by the greater topographic complexity of habitats in the bathyal zone. These results enabled us to propose redirection of sampling efforts for environmental characterization from continental zones to the deep-water zone, especially in the context of environmental assessments during oil and gas exploration and production.

25. Influence of bottom environment conditions and hydrographic variability on spatiotemporal trends of macrofaunal amphipods on the Yucatan continental shelf.

Abstract

Amphipod species collected during three oceanographic campaigns (2010–2012) were analyzed to describe their spatiotemporal community distribution trends and their relationships with bottom water and sediment variables. The results show that the species richness (117 spp.) did not reach its maximum value according to the species accumulation curve (up to 187 spp.). Multivariate analyses and constrained ordinations techniques detected three main amphipod assemblages along the longitudinal gradient (i.e., Western Caribbean, Mid-Yucatan, and West-Yucatan) and during two temporal hydrographic scenarios (i.e., upwelling in 2010–2011 and non-upwelling in 2012). In 2010–2011, low values in species richness and abundance from the Western Caribbean and eastern Mid-Yucatan assemblages were associated with relatively low bottom-water temperatures from the upwelling systems. In 2012, the absence of upwelling and the occurrence of a warm-core anticyclonic eddy seemed to cause an increase in species richness and abundance in the three assemblages. The hydrographic variability and sediment characteristics are suggested as the major environmental drivers that shapes the soft-bottom amphipod community structure and diversity in the Yucatan continental shelf. • Three species assemblages were identified along the longitudinal gradient. • Depth gradient influence the species richness, abundance, and species composition. • The upwelling systems influence the temporal variability of the species assemblages. • Hydrographic and sedimentary variability induces major changes in the distribution and diversity of amphipods.
