Sea slugs (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) from Huatulco: new records and distribution range extensions for Oaxaca, Mexico
While the diversity of sea slugs in the northern area of the Pacific coast of Mexico has been studied thoroughly in the last decades, little is known about the composition of species in the southern states of Mexico. Several field trips were made in 5 localities of Bahías de Huatulco, Oaxaca, where...

While the diversity of sea slugs in the northern area of the Pacific coast of Mexico has been studied thoroughly in the last decades, little is known about the composition of species in the southern states of Mexico. Several field trips were made in 5 localities of Bahías de Huatulco, Oaxaca, where specialized sampling methods focused on
sea slugs were carried out. Herein, we documented 49 species of sea slugs, including 37 new records for the state, which increases to 58 species the total sea slug richness known for Oaxaca. This study updates the inventory of sea
slugs for the Mexican Pacific coast and contributes to the knowledge of the marine fauna of the Natural Protected Area “Parque Nacional Huatulco”.
