Taxonomic update of the benthic marine red algae (Rhodophyta) from the Mexican Atlantic

Background and Aims: Since the contributions of Dreckmann in 1998, and Ortega et al. in 2001, there are no other integrative studies for the Mexican Atlantic seaweeds in which modifications and taxonomic actualizations were considered for this regional phycological flora.

description Background and Aims: Since the contributions of Dreckmann in 1998, and Ortega et al. in 2001, there are no other integrative studies for the Mexican Atlantic seaweeds in which modifications and taxonomic actualizations were considered for this regional phycological flora. Hence, our main objective was to present an update for the marine benthic red algae from the Mexican coast of the Gulf of Mexico, and the Mexican Caribbean Sea, in which all the new records are included for the region since the contributions mentioned above. Materials and Methods: The information about the species was obtained through the analysis of all the specialized literature published for the region since 2001, as well as some previous records not considered before, and a revision of the databases of the UAMIZ Metropolitan Herbarium. Synonymy and nomenclatural status, as well as the classification system used, were revised in AlgaeBase. Key results: A checklist composed of 451 species and 13 infraespecific categories of red algae was obtained; these where distributed in 4 classes, 23 orders, 52 families, and 171 genera. The currently accepted name, synonymy, and distribution are mentioned for each species. An asterisk indicates previous records (prior to 2002), as well as its distribution in different habitats. Conclusions: The present contribution revealed two main changes to the previously known flora of the red algae from the study area. The first one falls in the domain of nomenclature, and implies a modification in their classification (families, genera, and species). The second one has an effect on the number of species present. As a consequence, it is evident that constant floristic monitoring is required along the coasts of the Mexican Atlantic.

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Desde las contribuciones de Dreckmann en 1998 y Ortega et al. en 2001, no se han realizado otros trabajos compilatorios para el Atlántico mexicano en los que se consideren modificaciones y actualizaciones taxonómicas para la flora ficológica de la zona. El objetivo de este trabajo fue presentar un listado actualizado de las algas rojas de la costa mexicana del Golfo de México y el Caribe mexicano, en el que se consideran los nuevos registros para la región a partir de los trabajos mencionados hasta la fecha. Métodos: La información de las especies se obtuvo revisando la mayor cantidad de literatura publicada para el área de estudio, desde 2001 a la fecha y algunos registros previos no considerados antes, así como las bases de datos del Herbario Metropolitano UAMIZ. La sinonimia y el estatus nomenclatural de cada nombre, así como el sistema de clasificación utilizado, fueron revisados en AlgaeBase. Resultados clave: Se obtuvo un listado florístico con 451 especies y 13 categorias infraespecificas de algas rojas distribuidas en 4 clases, 23 órdenes, 52 familias y 171 géneros. Para cada especie se menciona su estado nomenclatural actualmente aceptado, su sinonimia y su distribución. Además, se resaltan con un asterisco aquellos registros antiguos (previos al 2002), así como su distribución por ambiente. Conclusiones: El presente listado reveló dos grandes cambios a la previamente conocida flora de las algas rojas de la zona de estudio. El primero de ellos se encuentra en el terreno de la nomenclatura, e implica una modificación a la clasificación de los taxones (familias, géneros, especies). El segundo repercute en el número de especies presentes. Dado lo anterior, es evidente la necesidad de un monitoreo florístico constante a lo largo del litoral del Atlántico mexicano.
