"This publication constitutes an undated, annotated, systematic review of red, brown, and green benthic marine algae of the Gulf of California, Mexico, using the currently accepted taxon names, with the date and place of valid publication, type locality, and north to south distribution in the Gulf. The systematic list contains 719 species recognized in the Gulf of California, including 485 species of Rhodophyta, 109 species of Phaeophyceae, and 125 species of Chlorophyta. Among the previously recorded marine algae, 38 species are considered uncertain records or to have uncertain taxonomic status, the selection of a lectotype for Gracilaria hancockii resolves its taxonomic status, 3 combinations are made for recognized varieties of Caulerpa chemnitzia, and 15 species are excluded from the Gulf of California marine flora. The geographical distribution range of each species is given from its northernmost to southernmost locales within three regions the Gulf of California: the east coast of the Gulf (states of Sonora, Sinaloa, Nayarit, and northern Jalisco), the west coast of the Gulf (states of Baja California and Baja California Sur), and the islands of the Gulf, including the Islas Grandes (= Islas de la Cintura; Midriff Islands; states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, and Sonora). Remarks, where appropriate, are included on taxonomy, nomenclature, ecology, and/or distribution with the taxon."--

Deep-water open-circuit SCUBA, dredging, submersible and technical mixed gas (closed-circuit) rebreather diving collections of marine benthic algae made over the last approximately 30 years in Puerto Rico are summarized in this account. In total 181 taxa (160 identified to species) (comprising 61% Rhodophyta. 12% Phaeophyceae and 27% Chlorophyta) are reported from depths greater than 35 m. Ninety-four of these, (59% of taxa identified to species) from the Puerto Rican mesophotic are thought to be the deepest known distributional records for the species recognized. Forty-three species (or 8% of the entire benthic flora of Puerto Rico) are mostly or entirely restricted to depths greater than 35 m.

During the last decades there has been an increasing evidence of drastic changes in marine ecosystems due to human-induced impacts, especially on benthic ecosystems. The so called “animal forests” are currently showing a dramatic loss of biomass and biodiversity all over the world. These communities are dominated by sessile suspension feeder organisms (such as sponges, corals, gorgonians, bivalves, etc.) that generate three-dimensional structures, similar to the trees in the terrestrial forest. The animal forest provide several ecosystem services such as food, protection and nursery to the associated fauna, playing an important role in the local hydrodynamic and biogeochemical cycles near the sea floor and acting also as carbon sinks. The present book focus its attention on these three dimensional animal structures including, for the first time, all the different types of animal forests of the world in a single volume.
