This imperils the biodiversity of beaches, wetlands and coral reefs. To address this, there is a need for comprehensive baseline information on marine biodiversity. Several reefs in the Gulf of Mexico have been extensively studied, yet smaller reefs on the Yucatan continental shelf lack thorough exploration despite their ecological significance. These reefs serve as crucial biodiversity hotspots influenced by environmental characteristics, receiving diverse taxa from the Gulf of Mexico.The macroalgae study at the Bank of Campeche dates back to the 1950s, but comprehensive investigations have been sporadic. The recent study aims to fill this gap, contributing to the taxonomic inventory of the area's benthic macroflora. Methodologically, extensive sampling across eight reefs was conducted, collecting and preserving macroalgae samples for identification in the laboratory.The study documented 90 infrageneric taxa across the reefs, with Cayo Arenas exhibiting the highest species count. Additionally, three new distribution reports for Mexico were identified in the region. The distribution of species varied amongst locations, with few species in common even amongst geographically proximate reefs. The diversity found in these reefs slightly trails behind other studied regions, but surpasses previous reports for the Campeche Bank.It is important to emphasise that the significance of this study lies in its focus on remote reefs with complicated and costly access logistics. Additionally, it is one of the first publicly available datasets published for this region.The study aligns with existing literature on prevalent families in reef environments and highlights differences in species distribution, based on depth variations amongst reefs. The findings of new distribution records in the region and the distinctiveness of localities despite their proximity underscore the unique ecological dynamics of these reefs.</p><p><strong>New information: </strong>These reefs are located in remote and difficult-to-access areas, highlighting the importance of the data obtained on their biodiversity and conservation status. This work presents for the first time a list of macroalgae for the reefs of Banco Nuevo, Banco Obispo, Banco Pera and Serpientes Reef.

All trees with stem diameter ≥ 5 cm were tagged, identified and measured for their stem diameter and basal area. Soil physiochemical properties (pH, gravimetric water content and concentrations of total carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium in topsoil) and environmental factors (relative humidity, canopy openness, litter depth and topographic variables of elevation, slope and aspect) were quantified as potential drivers of tree community differences. A total of 2,368 trees were recorded, representing 229 tree species in 211 genera and 58 families. Significant between-site differences in forest structure and tree community compositions were detected, despite limited differences in environmental and soil properties. Tree community composition at Bukit Sawat appeared to be influenced by topographic variables, while those at Badas were influenced by canopy openness. Our results showed that small-scale soil and environmental variation appeared to shape the local tree communities at Bukit Sawat and Badas.
