AbstractThe mangrove salt marsh snake (Nerodia clarkii compressicauda Baird and Girard) may experience varying levels of foraging success because the prop roots of the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle L.) have a six-fold variation in density. Adult female N. c. compressicauda were allowed to forage for 24 h on a known density of prey in an enclosed habitat simulating one of four experimental prop root densities. Snake behaviors were recorded during the first hour of each trial, and the number of prey ingested was determined at the conclusion of the trial period. Individuals had the greatest success at the root density most often encountered in their habitat. More time was spent in the water than atop roots; but individuals were less likely to forage in the water at low root densities, suggesting that they, like their prey, may be afforded protection from avian and mammalian predation by the mangrove forest canopy. Mangrove salt marsh snakes spent the majority of time resting motionless and appeared to be opportunistic predators, attempting to ingest prey only during chance encounters.

Fungi of the genus Phytophthora were found to be associated with the initial stages of leaf litter decay of Rhizophora mangle L. and other Rhizophora species in estuarine and coastal marine waters. Phytophthora appears to be an important component of red-mangrove litter degradation systems throughout the tropics, which includes the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. The distributions of Phytophthora vesicula Anastasiou et Churchland and four new species of Phytophthora are discussed, as well as their occurrence in other tropical marine allochthonous spermatophytic leaf litter. The descriptions of the new species and varieties, Phytophthora bahamensis, P. epistomium, P. mycoparasitica, P. spinosa var. spinosa, and P. spinosa var. lobata, are presented.Pythium was rarely observed in the mangrove litter system, although one species, Pythium grandisporangium sp.nov., is described.

Restoration And Protection

Coastal development is a major anthropogenic factors that modify and degrade the coastal<br />lagoons and mangrove swamps of Mexico, for this reason, the aim of this work is to highlight<br />the importance of representing the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) at the biological and<br />ecological coastal ecosystems and conceptualize it as an umbrella species for the lake<br />Tampamachoco to generate initiatives to protect and restore the lagoon system as signs of<br />deterioration and contamination. Proposes strategies and actions for restoration and protection<br />of the lagoon Tampamachoco to safeguard the flora and fauna that protects the red mangrove,<br />improved hydrological conditions of the lagoon and retrieve important species and commercial<br />fisheries which are certain to reactivate economic income fisheries and restaurant.
