ABSTRACT
A total of 96 epiphytic algae species were identified from Bajo Pepito, Quintana Roo, México. 60.4% (58) belonged to the Rhodophyta, 19.79% (19) to the Phaeophyta, 16.6% (16) to the Chlorophyta and 3.1% (3) to the Cyanophyta; 49 species (50.5%) were found only in one month, while Heterosiphonia crispella was found in all of the sampled months. That species provided the largest contribution to the biomass of epiphytes. During January we registered the greater biommass and richness of epiphytes species, coincidently with high values of host species cover and rainfall.
RESUMO
Se identificó un total de 96 especies de algas epífitas de Bajo Pepito, Quintana Roo, México; el 60.4% (58) pertenecieron a la división Rhodophyta, 19.79% (19) a la división Phaeophyta, 16.6% (16) a la división Chlorophyta y 3.1% (3) a la división Cyanophyta; 49 especies (51%) se presentaron solamente en un mes de muestreo. Heterosiphonia crispella se presentó en todos los meses de muestreo, y fue la que tuvo mayor contribución en la biomasa de epífitas. En enero se registró la mayor biomasa y riqueza de algas epífitas, lo cual coincidió con valores altos de cobertura de especies hospederas y precipitación pluvial.
