TÍTULO: Conspicuous endolithic algal associations in a mesophotic reef-building coral 

PALABRAS CLAVE: Mesophotic coral ecosystems Endolithic algae Symbiont Ostreobium  spp.

RESUMEN:

Understanding how corals and their symbionts specialize across depth gradients allows us to understand biodiversity in shallow and mesophotic coral ecosystems. Here we determined the prevalence of endolithic algal in Agaricia undata  (17–83 m) and examined community changes within (shallow, upper and lower zones) and among sites (oceanic vs. continental siliciclastic influence). We observed exposed filaments of endolithic algae in some colonies, which in some cases surfaced the coral as tubular pipelines bridging A. undata  costae. We also found multiple cryptic species within the monophyletic group of Ostreobium -like algae (12 rbcL  types). Rarely explored as symbionts, Ostreobium  in A. undata  highlights its potential role in facilitating a broader depth range.

TÍTULO:  Fish Biodiversity in Three Northern Islands of the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve (Colombian Caribbean)

NOTAS:  Acero P A, Tavera JJ, Polanco F. A. and Bolaños-Cubillos N (2019) Fish Biodiversity in Three Northern Islands of the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve (Colombian Caribbean).

INICIO: 

The archipelago of San Andres, Providence and Santa Catalina was declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve in the year 2000. With 180,000 km2, the archipelago boasts a variety of ecosystems and relatively high levels of biodiversity within the region. In light of the urgent need to appraise the value of marine biodiversity within the reserve and understand its role in contributing to food security for the resident human population, the Colombian government has organized three annual expeditions to three different northern islands. The dataset presented here summarizes the information on fish biodiversity collected in three of the reserve’s northern islands, namely Roncador, Serrana, and Serranilla during 2015–2017. In order to include all the information about the Colombian northern islands of the archipelago, data from Quitasueño were also added despite is has not been visited yet by this series of annual expeditions.

NOTAS:  Gonzalez-Zapata FL, Bongaerts P, Ramírez-Portilla C, Adu-Oppong B, Walljasper G, Reyes A and Sanchez JA (2018) Holobiont Diversity in a Reef-Building Coral over Its Entire Depth Range in the Mesophotic Zone. Front. Mar. Sci. 5:29. doi: 10.3389/fmars.2018.00029

INICIO: 

Mesophotic reef-building coral communities (∼ 30–120m depth) remain largely unexplored, despite representing roughly three-quarters of the overall depth range at which tropical coral reef ecosystems occur. Although many coral species are restricted to shallow depths, several species occur across large depth ranges, including lower mesophotic depths. Yet, it remains unclear how such species can persist under extreme low-light conditions and how the different symbiotic partners associated with these corals contribute to facilitate such broad depth ranges.

BACKGROUND:

Echinoderms are a charismatic marine invertebrate group that stand out for their beauty and color, but also for several attributes. Their morphological and biological characteristics represent innovations and particularities in animal evolution. Several species have proven to be key in the functioning of ecosystems and therefore in their conservation...
