Candelaria Silva Agrociencias algal turf algal morphology algal communities intraspecific variation Mexican tropical Pacific Turf-forming algal assemblages have been studied on many coral reefs, but little is known about similar communities onthe Mexican tropical Pacific. A total of 45 turf-forming algal species were sampled from five locations on this coast to analyze theirmorphological variations. All of those variations were grouped in six qualitative types, which could be considered as six different strategiesto adjust the growth patterns by the species to form turfs. These responses were: type 1 included 21 species with a reduction in overallthallus size, but within the specific variation previously reported, for example Halimeda discoidea, type 2 grouped 12 species withmodifications in thallus size, but beyond the specific variation previously registered, as Phyllodictyon anastomosans, type 3 includedfour species with modifications of vegetative structures, as Laurencia clarionensis, type 4 formed by two species with modifications ofreproductive structure, as Ceramium mazatlanense, type 5 grouped five species with modification of vegetative structures and thallussize, as Grateloupia prolongata, and type 6 integrated by one species with modification of reproductive structures and thallus size, asAcetabularia parvula. The six types of morphological observed responses could be regarded as different strategies of algal species toadjust their growth patterns to form turfs. 2004 artículo científico 0186-2979 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=15409902 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=154 Universidad y Ciencia application/pdf Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco Universidad y Ciencia (México) Num.
