British Honduras, or Belize, has a diplomatic history at once notable and obscure. Bordered by the Mexican State of Quintana Roo, the Republic of Guatemala and the Caribbean Sea, this British Colony has an area of 8,598 square miles and is thus a little larger than Wales or Massachusetts.

The Town

In the mid-1700s, the town of Mompox flourished in the Spanish viceroyalty of the New Kingdom of Granada, today part of the Republic of Colombia. Built on the banks of the northern Magdalena River, an important waterway connecting the Andean interior with the Caribbean Sea, Mompox constantly buzzed with travelers and trade alike. Mompox was home to a community of merchants who profited handsomely from both legal trade and smuggling, their networks reaching places as far away as Lima in Peru and Cádiz in Spain. These merchants were frequently also slaveholders and landowners. On haciendas outside of town, slaves cultivated the land and tended large herds of cattle. They gathered wood and resins and hunted for game and jaguars (panthera onca) that preyed on livestock. Along with free people of color, slaves also worked as artisans, journeymen, and oarsmen on boats transporting goods and people up and down the river (see Figure 1).

AbstractOne short-snouted spinner dolphin Stenella clymene individual stranded on the coast of Quintana Roo, Mexico, was examined for stomach and lung nematodes. During necropsy, a large number of nematodes of the species Skrjabinalius guevarai were found in the airways. Additionally, some larval Anisakis sp. were found in the stomach. Both nematode species are reported for the first time from this host. The present is the first helminthological study of the short-snouted spinner dolphin in Mexico and adjacent waters of the Caribbean Sea. S. guevarai is reported for the first time from the western Atlantic Ocean.

The collection of eight specimens of Acanthobothrium cartagenensis on the coast of Quintana Roo, México extends the geographic distribution of the species from the original locality (Cartagena, Colombia) to at least the northeastern limit of the Mexican coast of the Caribbean Sea.  The species is a parasite of Urobatis jamaicensis, a common stingray of the tropical western Atlantic.  This species has not been reported since the original description in 1980.

Distribución Geográfica

The geographical distribution of the green benthic seaweeds from the Mexican coasts of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea was analyzed by means of a data bank that includes 98 taxonomic publications that appeared in the 1846 - 2000 period, based on Jaccard’s index. In total, 169 species with 49 genera were recorded, with the highest species richness corresponding to Cladophora (26 species) and Caulerpa (16). Over 70.8% of all the phycoflora was confirmed based on 69 species collected by the authors in 25 localities (40.8%), and 30% through consultation of the MEXU, ENCB and DUKE herbaria. The phycological classification scheme of marine environments included 17 habitats in five coastal types where algae develop on different substrates: hard (62.5%), soft (48.4%), animal (36.8%), plant (30%), floating (11%), and artificial (12.2%). The distinction between two provinces along the Mexican coasts of the Atlantic Ocean Basin was confirmed: one corresponding to a rich tropical phycoflora along the southern coast, from Quintana Roo to Veracruz (Caribbean Province), and the other extending along the subtropical waters and being poor in species (Carolinean Province). Cabo Rojo is the boundary between the tropical and the subtropical coasts of Mexico.

Belice, or British Honduras, has been the subject of dispute throughout its history. Although the Spanish claim to the Caribbean and Central America was clear in theory, the British distinguished between title by discovery and title by occupation. In their eyes this jungle terrain along the shores of the Caribbean Sea was “ res nullius ”—uninhabited territory, i.e., not occupied by Europeans—and hence subject to seizure by anyone who chose to effectively populate it. Spanish settlements in neighboring portions of Central America, in the British view, conveyed only dubious title to this area. Moreover, the original settlers of the town of Belize were freebooters who were not accustomed to paying heed to Spanish claims.

Geographic Distributions

The thermal structure of the environmental atmosphere associated with Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs) is investigated with the combined observations from several detectors (FERMI, RHESSI, and Insight-HXMT) and GNSS-RO (SAC-C, COSMIC, GRACE, TerraSAR-X, and MetOp-A). The geographic distributions of TGF-related tropopause altitude and climatology are similar. The regional TGF-related tropopause altitude in Africa and the Caribbean Sea is 0.1–0.4 km lower than the climatology, whereas that in Asia is 0.1–0.2 km higher. Most of the TGF-related tropopause altitudes are slightly higher than the climatology, while some of them have a slightly negative bias. The subtropical TGF-producing thunderstorms are warmer in the troposphere and have a colder and higher tropopause over land than the ocean. There is no significant land–ocean difference in the thermal structure for the tropical TGF-producing thunderstorms. The TGF-producing thunderstorms have a cold anomaly in the middle and upper troposphere and have stronger anomalies than the deep convection found in previous studies.
