Temporal and spatial distribution of early larval stages and post-larval recruitment of the long-spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum in La Parguera, Puerto Rico
(2010-05)
This study describes temporal variations of early larval stages of the long-spined
sea urchin, Diadema antillarum in neritic waters of La Parguera, Puerto Rico. Early
larval stages were sampled by oblique plankton tows ...
Dinámica de crecimiento de tres especies de coral en relación a las propiedades ópticas del agua
(2004)
The growth patterns in the coral species Monstastrea annularis, M. cavernosa and Acropora cervicornis were studied in Media Luna and Laurel reefs in La Parguera, Puerto Botes in Desecheo Island and El Negro in Mayagüez. ...
Population dynamics and resource utilization by the dusky damselfish, Stegastes adustus (Troschel, 1865)
(2009)
Coral reef fishes depend upon the reef substrate for the duration of their lives. Consequently, patterns of distribution and abundance of reef fishes may be influenced by this relationship. The spatial and temporal abundance ...
Taxonomic composition and abundance of demersal zooplankton associated to seagrass and sandy substrates of a coral reef environment
(2009-12)
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of different
benthic habitats in the taxonomic composition and abundance of demersal
zooplankton in the coral reef systems of La Parguera. Two techniques were
used ...
Abundancia y composición de las comunidades zoopláncticas sobre los arrecifes coralinos en Isla Desecheo, Puerto Rico
(2005-05)
A study of zooplancton taxonomic composition and abundance was performed in the vicinity of Puerto Canoas and Puerto Botes reefs in Isla Desecheo. The main objective of the study was to examine the influence of the coral ...
Short-term changes to the coral reef fish community structure following the regional coral bleaching event of 2005
(2013)
Various studies have quantified the loss of live coral as a result of the bleaching event
of 2005 in the Caribbean; yet, there is a lack of information as to how the reef fish
community has responded. Based on annual ...
Characterizing zooplankton and micronekton diel vertical migration at the western Puerto Rican shelf/slope break
(2006)
Discrete zooplankton/micronekton samples from three plankton cruises were collected over a moored Bluewater Broadband ADCP in Mona Passage, west of Puerto Rico to: describe the taxonomic composition, vertical distribution, ...

(2010)
This work represents a taxonomic contribution to the knowledge of the Order Tanaidacea, Crustacea from shallow waters of Puerto Rico, an order of free-living and exclusively benthic malacostracans belonging to the Superorder ...
Dispersal of reef fish larvae from known spawning sites in la Parguera
(2005-12)
The objective of this study was to examine potential dispersal trajectories of mutton snapper (Lutjanus analis) eggs and early stage larvae during spawning events at La Parguera. Larval fishes were collected during four ...
