	abstract = {Free-living marine nematode assemblages were studied at four sites in Banco Chinchorro, Caribbean Sea, Mexico: Cayo Norte, Cayo Lobos, Isla Che, and Cayo Centro. Three orders, 21 families, 65 genera, and 98 species represented the nematode fauna. The order Chromadorida was the best represented with nine families, and 56 species, followed by Enoplida (nine families, 22 species), and Monhysterida (three families, 16 species). Desmodoridae had the highest number of species (3 1). The highest nematode density (1.83 x 10(5) nematodes m(-3)) was found at Cayo Centro, followed by Cayo Norte (1.77 x 10(5) nematodes m(-3)). Lowest nematode density was found at Isla Che (3.18 x 10(4) nematodes m(-3)). Cayo Norte had also the highest number of species (47), with a diversity of H{\textquoteright}= 5.03 bits ind(-1) and an evenness value of 0.91; Cayo Lobos and Cayo Centro had a similar number of species (41 and 40, respectively) and a similar diversity (H{\textquoteright}= 4.76 bits ind(-1) and H{\textquoteright}= 4.67 bits ind(-1)). Isla Che presented the lowest number of species (14) and diversity (H{\textquoteright}= 3.55 bits ind(-1)). At Cayo Lobos, an inner station, nematodes had small and annulated bodies with many somatic setae, typical of sandy environments with high energy. At the family level, the nematode fauna at Banco Chinchorro is similar to other assemblages found in the Caribbean. All species registered in this study add new evidence of their geographic range in the western Caribbean. The nematode fauna surveyed represent possibly up to 69\% of new species. Nematoda diversity values found at Banco Chinchorro were higher than those known in similar environments.},

	abstract = {As part of a larger comparative study, marine nematode hard-bottom assemblages from Trinidad and Tobago were surveyed using artificial substrates. The collectors (nylon pan scourers) were used as a standard substratum for the colonization by marine nematodes inhabiting subtidal hard, rocky bottom substrata. The artificial substrate units (ASUs) were deployed at four sites off the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, the former being the southernmost of the Caribbean chain of islands. The nematode fauna was represented by 5 orders, 25 families, 52 genera, and 70 species. The Chromadoridae were most abundant followed by the Cyatholaimidae. At the family level, the nematode fauna was found to be similar to other temperate and tropical locations including those of a few previously described Caribbean assemblages. Epigrowth feeders were dominant (65.2\%) on the substrate followed by non-selective deposit-feeders (13.3\%). Free-living marine nematodes of the western and southern Caribbean are not well known, while nematode fauna of hard-bottom substrates are even less known. This survey provides first records of the hard-bottom nematode fauna of Trinidad and Tobago and also adds new evidence for the geographic range of some nematode species.},
