A guide to nongeniculate coralline red algal (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) rhodolith identification

Rhodoliths are free-living structures composed mostly of nongeniculate coralline red algae. Species that form rhodoliths usually cannot be identified with certainty using only growth form or other external morphological features. Accurate and reliable identification usually requires sectioning for e...

Simplified steps to facilitate identification of nongeniculate coralline red algal rhodoliths are presented in this paper. Identification is a twotiered process involving identification of specimens to genus followed by identification of specimens to species. We list the common nongeniculate rhodolith-forming genera (Hydrolithon, Neogoniolithon, Lithophyllum, Sporolithon, Lithothamnion, Phymatolithon, Mesophyllum and Spongites) and provide illustrations and/or references to important taxonomic characters useful for identifying specimens to genus level. We also provide references to recently published floristic descriptions or detailed taxonomic accounts to rhodolith-forming species in these eight genera to facilitate species identification. Los rodolitos son estructuras libres compuestas principalmente de algas rojas coralinas no geniculadas. Por lo general no es posible identificar con certeza las especies que forman los rodolitos con base únicamente en la forma en que crecen u otras características morfológicas externas. Para una identificación precisa y confiable normalmente se requiere realizar cortes histológicos para examinar los caracteres vegetativos y reproductivos pertinentes. En este trabajo se presentan pasos simplificados para facilitar la identificación de rodolitos de algas rojas coralinas no geniculadas. El proceso de identificación se divide en dos etapas y consiste en identificar los especímenes a nivel de género, en primera instancia, y a nivel de especie, en segunda. Se han registrado aquí los géneros comunes de algas no geniculadas formadoras de rodolitos (Hydrolithon, Neogoniolithon, Lithophyllum, Sporolithon, Lithothamnion, Phymatolithon, Mesophyllum y Spongites), y se proporcionan ilustraciones y/o referencias de caracteres taxonómicos importantes de utilidad para la identificación de especímenes a nivel de género. También se proporciona bibliografía de publicaciones recientes sobre descripciones florísticas o estudios taxonómicos detallados de especies formadoras de rodolitos de estos ocho géneros para facilitar su identificación.Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California2007-12-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Article Artículo Arbitradoapplication/pdfhttps://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/121010.7773/cm.v33i4.1210Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 33 No. 4 (2007); 411-426Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 33 Núm. 4 (2007); 411-4262395-90530185-3880reponame:Ciencias Marinasinstname:UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE BAJA CALIFORNIAinstacron:UABCenghttps://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/1210/1050info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:cienciasmarinas.com.mx:article/12102024-08-22T17:01:38Z
