摘要
摘要珊瑚礁中的隐蔽物种,如海蛞蝓,是其生物多样性的重要组成部分,通常被低估。已经实施了自主珊瑚礁监测结构(ARMS)来估计珊瑚礁的隐蔽多样性。因此,本研究旨在利用ARMS作为一种收集方法,为墨西哥湾南部(GM)和加勒比海(CAR)珊瑚礁海蛞蝓的多样性和分布做出贡献。58个ARMS被放置在GM和CAR的三个珊瑚礁上,在1-2年后回收,然后在实验室拆解。盘子被单独放置在装有海水的托盘中,我们在那里寻找海蛞蝓。共发现242种生物,分属31个物种;其中20个被鉴定到物种水平,11个被确定到属或科。超过一半的物种(19种)是在Bajo de 10(GM)发现的,而15种是在CAR地区发现的。与之前的研究不同,我们完全通过间接采样方法评估海蛞蝓的多样性。在这项工作中,我们发现了加勒比海记录的9.4%的海蛞蝓多样性,并首次在该国报告了四个已确定的物种。新的物种记录,甚至是转基因的一个家族,都强调了我们在该地区仍然需要完成的信息缺口。我们认识到ARMS是一种有用的工具,可以发现幼年、隐蔽和稀有的海蛞蝓物种,并对其数量进行标准化和记录其多样性。
Sea slugs (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) associated with Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) in southern Gulf of Mexico and Mexican Caribbean Sea
Abstract Cryptic species in coral reefs, such as sea slugs, represent an important portion of their biodiversity, which is usually underestimated. Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) have been implemented to estimate cryptic diversity in coral reefs. Therefore, this research aimed to contribute to the southern Gulf of Mexico (GM) and the Caribbean Sea (CAR) coral reefs’ sea slugs’ diversity and distribution using ARMS as a collection method. Fifty-eight ARMS were placed at three coral reefs in the GM and CAR, recovered after 1–2 years and then, disassembled at the laboratory. Plates were individually placed in trays with seawater, where we searched for sea slugs. A total of 242 organisms were found belonging to 31 species; 20 of them were identified to the species level, while 11 were determined up to genus or family. More than half of the species (19) were found in Bajo de 10 (GM), while 15 species were found in the CAR localities. Unlike previous studies, we assessed sea slugs’ diversity exclusively by an indirect sampling method. In this work, we found 9.4% of the sea slug diversity recorded in the Caribbean, and we report four determined species for the first time in the country. New records of species, and even one family for the GM stress the gap of information that we still need to fulfil in the area. We recognize ARMS as a useful tool to find juvenile, cryptic and rare species of sea slugs, as well as to standardize their quantification and record their diversity.
