A Bibliography for the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) A Bibliography for the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) Compiled by R. C. Brusca Vers. 27 September 2021 NOTE: This document is updated on an ongoing basis (see date stamp above) While not complete, this list will provide a good entry into the literature. With a few notable exceptions, chapters in edited volumes are not cited when the volume itself is cited. Some older (pre-2000) species-level taxonomic publications are generally not included unless they have broader biological implications, although systematic revisions often are included. Non-peer- reviewed magazines and government reports are generally not cited, unless the veracity of the data are publically verifiable or especially timely (e.g., the vaquita porpoise situation in the Upper Gulf). The Mexican “scientific literature” is high in non-refereed work from various agencies and universities (e.g., CONACyT, SEMARNAT, CONABIO, CICESE, UABC, UABCS) and nonprofit organizations (e.g., CEDO, Pronatura) and this work is generally not cited herein. Some journals are of low quality and papers from those should be viewed with caution (e.g., Frontera Norte). Academic theses and unrefereed abstracts from conference proceedings generally also are not cited (although a few key ones are). Numerous key terrestrial/freshwater/botanical publications are included in this list when they are of interest to coastal investigators (e.g., the Pinacates, the Colorado River Delta, Baja California, coastal desert streams and springs, etc) or deal with Gulf/Baja/Northwest Mexico geological and biogeographical history. Similarly, some important papers on Arizona and California geology, hydrology, etc. are included when they have direct relevance to the Gulf of California, as are some key papers from the Temperate East Pacific that treat the biology of species also occurring in the Sea of Cortez. Although some key botanical and anthropological papers and books are cited, such publications are only superficially covered.

Paradoxically, despite a long history of inquiry into spit and barrier formation, understanding of the dynamics and sedimentary history of tombolos over the Holocene timescale is poor. At Tyre and Alexandria we demonstrate that these rare coastal features are the heritage of a long history of natural morphodynamic forcing and human impacts. In 332 BC, following a protracted seven-month siege of the city, Alexander the Great's engineers cleverly exploited a shallow sublittoral sand bank to seize the island fortress; Tyre's causeway served as a prototype for Alexandria's Heptastadium built a few months later. We report stratigraphic and geomorphological data from the two sand spits, proposing a chronostratigraphic model of tombolo evolution. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

University of Lausanne, Switzerland A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2006 ABSTRACT Invasions of exotic species are one of the primary causes of biodiversity loss on our planet (National Research Council 1995). In the marine environment, all habitat types including estuaries, coral reefs, mud flats, and rocky intertidal shorelines have been impacted (e.g. Bertness et al. 2001). Recently, the topic of invasive species has caught the public’s attention. In particular, there is worldwide concern about the aquarium strain of the green alga Caulerpa taxifolia (Vahl) C. Agardh that was introduced to the Mediterranean Sea in 1984 from the Monaco Oceanographic Museum.

Morphological variation of two common sea grapes (Caulerpa lentillifera and Caulerpa racemosa) from selected regions in the Philippines. Biodiversitas 21: 1823-1832. Seagrapes, locally known in the Philippines as “lato” or “ar-arusip”, are economically important macroalgae belonging to the edible species of the genus Caulerpa. This study characterized and compared distinct populations of sea grapes from selected regions in the Philippines and described the influence of physicochemical parameters of seawater on their morphology. Morphometric, cluster and principal component analyses showed that morphological plasticity exists in sea grapes species (Caulerpa lentillifera and Caulerpa racemosa) found in different sites in the Philippines. These are evident in morphometric parameters namely, assimilator height, space between assimilators, ramulus diameter and number of rhizoids on stolon wherein significant differences were found. This evident morphological plasticity was analyzed in relation to physicochemical parameters of the seawater. Assimilator height of C. racemosa is significantly associated and highly influenced by water depth, salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen whereas for C. lentillifera depth and salinity are the significant influencing factors.

  • Colecciones De Invertebrados Del Museo Nacional De Ciencias Naturales (Csic)
    HISTORIA Y PRESENTE DE LAS COLECCIONES DE INVERTEBRADOS DEL MUSEO NACIONAL DE CIENCIAS NATURALES (CSIC) Miguel Villena Sánchez-Valero Conservador de las colecciones de Invertebrados 1 .- RESEÑA HISTÓRICA Para encontrar el origen de la Colección de Invertebrados de Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales de Madrid tenemos que remontarnos al último tercio del siglo XVIII, cuando, tras numerosas gestiones y diversos intentos, una Real Orden de Carlos III, promulgada el 17 de octubre de 1771, crea el Real Gabinete de Historia Natural y pone punto final a las enormes carencias que, en ese sentido, tenía España respecto a otros países europeos. En estos momentos iniciales, y hasta que se inaugure de forma definitiva el 4 de noviembre de 1776, las colecciones custodiadas en este establecimiento tendrán como base el excelente Gabinete de Historia Natural formado en París por el sabio ilustrado Pedro Franco Dávila, quien, gracias a sus desvelos en la formación del Gabinete y, sobre todo, gracias a los conocimientos en Historia Natural, adquiridos en una estancia de casi 26 años en París, en contacto con los científicos más reputados del momento, será nombrado Primer Director del establecimiento. Con este nombramiento Don Pedro recibió un triple encargo: que se coloquen en Madrid en debida forma las preciosidades actuales del Gabinete, y las demás con que el Rey providenciará enriquecerle, que se verifique la instrucción pública y, sobre todo, el encargo especial de que le tenga a su cuidado y procure difundir el gusto y nociones de tan importante materia.1 A partir de ese momento el interés principal del Gabinete recién creado y de sus dirigentes será el incremento de las colecciones con ese, cuando menos, triple objetivo que tiene que tener todo Museo2 que se precie de tal, es decir: • Conservar, catalogar, restaurar y exhibir de forma ordenada sus colecciones.
