LOPEZ-FUERTE, Francisco Omar et al. First records of dinoflagellates from the Guadalupe Island Biosphere Reserve,Baja California, Mexico. Polibotánica [online]. 2024, n.58, pp.1-15.  Epub 22-Out-2024. ISSN 1405-2768.  https://doi.org/10.18387/polibotanica.58.1.

The Guadalupe Island Biosphere Reserve (RBIG) is located 241 km from Mexico's western coast and is thus one of the most distant island territories in the country. Therefore, studying its biodiversity is of great interest in a biogeographic context. This study aimed to present the first records of dinoflagellates found in the RNIG. Thirty-four dinoflagellate species and infraspecific taxa were reported and illustrated. All species have been previously recorded in Mexican coastal waters, and two of them, Dinophysis tripos and Phalacroma mitra, have been reported in the literature as toxin producers. This study represents the first contribution to the knowledge of dinoflagellates in the RBIG.
