Matrix aggregation of species of Phyla Annelida (Polychaeta), Mollusca, Arthropoda (Decapoda, Stomatopoda, Amphipoda, and Chelicerata), and Echinodermata registered of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico region by Ocean Biodiversity Information Systems of the research "Evaluation of the use of Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) for capturing the biological diversity of two coral reefs in the Yucatán Península, México"

This database consists of an aggregation matrix of species from Ocean Biodiversity Information Systems using as geographic filters the Caribbean Sea region (ID 34287) and the Gulf of Mexico region (ID 34287) nomenclature and hierarchical classification of each Phyla from World Register of Marine Species used for the calculation of average taxonomic distinction of species belonging to the Phyla Annelida (Polychaeta), Mollusca, Arthropoda (Decapoda, Stomatopoda, Amphipoda, and Chelicerata), and Echinodermata associated to Autonomous Reefs Monitoring Structures from the research “Evaluation of the use of Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) to estimate cryptic diversity in two coral reefs of the Yucatan Península, México” *Corresponding autor: [e-mail] BIS Ocean Biodiversity Information System.
