Abstract

Abstract Ctenophores are one of the least known invertebrate phyla in Mexico, especially the benthic forms in which studies are incomplete and infrequent, lacking information about their ecology and diversity. As part of the environmental monitoring project ‘Biodiversidad Marina de Yucatán’ conducted in the southern Gulf of Mexico and Mexican Caribbean Sea, the benthic ctenophore Vallicula multiformis (Coeloplanidae) was identified in association with green algae in the southern Gulf of Mexico, and on an autonomous reef monitoring structure in the Mexican Caribbean Sea. This finding represents the first record of the occurrence of a benthic ctenophore species in Mexican waters. We provide morphological characteristics of V. multiformis in both reef areas. Recording this species increases the known number of Mexican ctenophore fauna from 33 to 34 taxa and represents baseline information for the continuous study of the ecology and diversity of benthic ctenophores in Mexico.

墨西哥大西洋底栖栉水母的首次记录:多样性谷螺(Platyctenida,Coeloplanidae)
栉水母是墨西哥最不为人所知的无脊椎动物门之一,特别是对底栖动物的研究不完整、不频繁,缺乏关于其生态学和多样性的信息。作为在墨西哥湾南部和墨西哥加勒比海开展的环境监测项目“Marina Biodiversidad Yucatán”的一部分,在墨西哥湾南部和墨西哥加勒比海的一个自主珊瑚礁监测结构上,发现了底栖水母Vallicula multiformis (Coeloplanidae)与绿藻有关。这一发现代表了墨西哥水域底栖栉水母物种出现的第一个记录。我们提供了多形鱼在两个礁区的形态特征。该物种的记录使墨西哥已知的栉水母动物群从33个分类群增加到34个分类群,并为墨西哥底栖栉水母生态和多样性的持续研究提供了基线信息。
