The land snail species Drymaeus virgulatus (Férussac, 1821) is recorded in St. Kitts in the form of 21 complete or fragmented shells collected on the island in November 2019. The complete shells were collected on the backshores of South Frigate Bay and Majors Bay, while shell fragments come from naturally exposed sections of the North Frigate Bay sand ridge, where they date to the pre-Columbian period. This evidence therefore attests to the past presence of this species on the island. The absence of this taxon from recent malacological surveys points to it having been extirpated from St. Kitts. Apertural fragments of a large bulimulidae collected in the caves of Tintamarre Island, near St. Martin, are also related to this taxon, adding a second West Indian island from which this species apparently disappeared in recent centuries.

Los peces de las familias Scaridae y Acanthuridae son herbívoros que controlan el crecimiento algal sobre los corales. Su exclusión por la pesca ilícita y el desarrollo costero conduce rápidamente al dominio de las macroalgas en el arrecife. Para estimar la densidad e intensidad de pastoreo de Scaridae y Acanthuridae y su relación con la cobertura de macroalgas, se seleccionaron dos veriles en el Parque Nacional Guanahacabibes (PNG) y uno en La Habana (LH), este último con elevada degradación antrópica. Se usaron video-cuadrantes de 1 m2 para obtener la densidad de peces (individuos/m2) e intensidad de pastoreo (mordidas/5 minutos*m2) y cuadrantes de 25x25 cm para la abundancia relativa de macroalgas. Se identificaron diez especies, Scaridae predominó en el PNG y Acanthuridae en LH. La pérdida de Scaridae en LH, implica que Acanthuridae representa un exceso de un grupo funcional que no provee el sustrato desnudo para el reclutamiento coralino. Hubo fuerte correlación positiva entre la densidad e intensidad de pastoreo de Scaridae con Halimeda, dado que en el PNG esta alga se favorece y constituye un alimento recurrente y eficiente para Scaridae. En LH predominaron algas bioindicadoras de eutrofización como Stypopodium y sólo mostró correlación positiva con Acanthuridae. Estos peces consumen las epífitas sobre Stypopodium, y sus tasas de pastoreo son más altas, lo cual contribuye al cultivo de algas cespitosas, fuertes competidoras del espacio con los corales. De ahí la importancia de presentar comunidades más equitativas con diferentes grupos funcionales de peces herbívoros que contribuyan a un control más efectivo de las macroalgas.

Columbid remains are commonly recovered from Caribbean archaeological and paleontological sites. Identifying specimens to species level is therefore likely to yield a wealth of information concerning species diversity and changes in their distribution over time. Here we examine the metrical data and 42 osteological characters of eight skeletal elements of 80 specimens belonging to 12 species from five genera that represent most of the indigenous taxa of the West Indies. Our new data provide a reliable means for identifying these birds in the Caribbean fossil and subfossil record.

Larvae of the Smallscaled Spinycheek Sleeper (Eleotris perniger) in transition from saltwater to freshwater were identified using COI and 16S gene sequences and the morphology and color pattern were then described. Available freshwater habitat for this species on Montserrat is minimal and continued existence is threatened by potential water withdrawals.

De igual modo, las observaciones realizadas en tres inviernos consecutivos (2019, 2020, 2021), durante la temporada de floración de las orquídeas Cattleya lueddemanniana y Guarianthe skinneri, ratifican que la nectarivoría es un hábito regular en Anolis porcatus.

The genus Critomolgus Humes and Stock, 1983 represents a group of 34 species of copepods associated with marine invertebrates. Most of these species have been collected in associations with species of the phyla Cnidaria and Echinodermata in several localities in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans with three species reported in the Mediterranean Sea. This is the first occasion in which a species belonging to the genus Critomolgus and the family Rhynchomolgidae Humes and Stock, 1972 is recorded for the Gulf of Mexico. Here, we describe a new species of marine copepod, Critomolgus walteri Varela, Price, Middlebrooks et Ambrosio, associated with the octocorals Leptogorgia virgulata (Lamarck, 1815) and L. hebes Verrill, 1869 in 3.3 meters of water in Tampa Bay, Florida. This species possesses characters that unite it with other members of the genus; however, it differs from all other species due to the body length and unique leg 5 and maxilla l characters. This new species provides evidence that much diversity remains to be discovered in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and future sampling efforts should target this region.
Critomolgus Humes and Stock属，1983年，代表了与海洋无脊椎动物相关的34种桡足类。这些物种中的大多数是在印度洋、太平洋和大西洋的几个地方与刺胞动物门和棘皮动物门的物种相关联地收集的，据报道，地中海有三个物种。这是1972年墨西哥湾首次记录到属于Critomolgus属和Rhynchomolgidae Humes and Stock科的物种。在这里，我们描述了一种新的海洋桡足类物种，Critomolgus walteri Varela，Price，Middlebrooks et Ambrosio，与佛罗里达州坦帕湾3.3米深的水中的八角珊瑚Leptogoria virgulata（Lamarck，1815）和L.hebes Verrill（1869）有关。该物种具有将其与本属其他成员结合在一起的特征；然而，由于身体长度和独特的腿5和上颌骨特征，它与所有其他物种不同。这一新物种提供了证据，表明墨西哥湾水域仍有许多多样性有待发现，未来的采样工作应针对该地区。

Several species of biting midges of the genus Forcipomyia are frequently found attached to the wings of adult odonates, acting as parasites by sucking haemolymph from the wing veins. Here we report the first finding of F. incubans on odonates in the peninsula of Zapata, Cuba. We found the midge on the wings of Erythrodiplax simplicicollis, E. umbrata, Crocothemis servilia, and in the wings and body of Perithemis domitia, all species belonging to the family Libellulidae. This is the first record of this interaction for the Antilles.

Se realizaron siete salidas al área de estudio (junio de 2017 a septiembre de 2018), en las cuales se hicieron muestreos aleatorios, cubriendo un área de 275 m2. Se registró un total de 66 especies, reunidas en 50 géneros y 31 familias. Un total de 13 especies, nueve géneros y dos familias representan nuevos registros para el área de estudio. Con estos nuevos registros, la riqueza específica para el arrecife “Verde” queda conformada por 109 especies, agrupadas en 71 géneros y 40 familias de gasterópodos.
