Confirmación de la presencia del coral Pavona chiriquiensis Glynn, Maté y Stemann (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Agariciidae) en el Pacífico colombiano.Abstract
El género Pavona comprende 18 especies de las cuales Pavona chiriquiensis ha sido recientemente descrita y registrada en varias localidades del Pacífico oriental tropical. A partir de observaciones y colecciones realizadas en arrecifes de las islas Gorgona y Malpelo entre 1999 y 2005 se confirma su presencia en Colombia. El tardío registro de P. chiriquiensis en estas islas pudo ser debido a su similitud y confusión con P. varians, o a su reciente colonización del Pacífico colombiano.Pavona The genus includes 18 species of Pavona chiriquiensis which has been recently described and recorded in various locations in the eastern tropical Pacific.
