MATEO-CID, Luz Elena y MENDOZA-GONZALEZ, A. Catalina. Benthic marine algae of the west coast of Guerrero, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2012, vol.83, n.4, pp.905-928. ISSN 2007-8706. https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.28104.
We present results on the study on benthic marine algae in 7 localities from the west coast of Guerrero, Mexico. We report 163 species: 17 Cyanobacteria, 93 Rhodophyta, 28 Chlorophyta and 25 Heterokontophyta. Fifty four are new records for Guerrero; while Myrionema strangulans Greville and Acrochaete ramosa (N.L.Gardner) O'Kelly are new to the Pacific coast of Mexico. Each species includes data on its distribution, reproductive stages, tidal level, facies, epiphytism and herbarium's number. Species diversity was compared for 2 different climatic seasons. The Rhodophyta are dominant in terms of diversity in relation to the other groups. The algal flora of the northwest coast of Guerrero is tropical and the greatest diversity was found during dry seasons.
