徐州城市河流和湖泊的大型底栖动物群落结构及影响因子分析

对徐州市京杭运河市区段和市区湖泊云龙湖进行了大型底栖动物群落结构及影响因子的比较研究。结果显示:城市河流和湖泊生态系统中, 大型底栖动物种类较少、群落结构相对简单, 其中城市河流大型底栖动物的组成主要为水栖寡毛类和软体动物, 城市湖泊大型底栖动物主要组成为水栖寡毛类和摇蚊幼虫。除Margalef 物种丰富度指数外, 河流与湖泊的其他群落指数相差不大。聚类分析将两类生态系统中的大型底栖动物群落明显分为两组。CCA 结果显示云龙湖大型底栖动物群落的主要影响因子是pH 和溶解氧, 京杭运河徐州市区段大型底栖动物群落的主要影响因子是总磷和化学需氧量。     

洱海流域湖泊大型底栖动物群落结构及空间分布

2009年5月对洱海及其流域内的海西海、茈碧湖和西湖3个小型湖泊进行底栖动物群落结构调查,以期阐明该流域湖泊底栖动物群落结构现状及其与水环境因子关系.结果表明:洱海底栖动物密度为1556ind·m-2,生物量8.9g·m-2.主要以摇蚊、霍甫水丝蚓和萝卜螺为密度优势种,相对丰度分别为43.5%、39.5%和8.6%;生物量优势种为刻纹蚬、萝卜螺和摇蚊.GIS插值显示,洱海北部密度最高,中部沿岸区生物量最高,南部密度和生物量均较低,Shannon多样性指数以湖岸区较高.其余3个湖泊以线虫、摇蚊科、颤蚓科和幽蚊科为主,其中以茈碧湖的密度和生物量最高(260.8ind·m-2和1.14g·M-2).CCA分析表明:洱海底栖动物主要受水体TP和Ca2+浓度的影响,贡献率分别为34%和27%;西湖与洱海群落组成最相似,主要由水体中较高的TN含量引起.对比历史数据可知,洱海寡毛类和摇蚊科比例继续增加,表明湖泊有机污染进一步加重.     

香溪河流域梯级水库大型底栖动物群落变化及其与环境的关系

分别于2005年10月和2011年10月对香溪河流域3个梯级水库的大型底栖动物群落进行了调查,探讨了大型底栖动物群落变化及其与环境的关系.结果表明:与2005年相比,2011年古洞口一级水库仍以寡毛类占优势,大型底栖动物总密度升高;古洞口二级水库中,摇蚊的优势度降低,前突摇蚊相对丰度由94.5％降低至35.5％,霍甫水丝蚓的相对丰度升至36.0％,总密度增加;香溪河库湾大型底栖动物群落发生很大变化,前突摇蚊取代颤蚓科种类成为绝对优势类群,相对丰度达到89.0％,而总密度降低,三峡水库水位剧烈波动对这一变化有推动作用.各水库大型底栖动物群落与环境因子的典型对应分析(CCA)结果表明,浊度较大的水体,前突摇蚊容易占优势,而颤蚓科的霍甫水丝蚓和正颤蚓则在水柱稳定性较高、底层水温较低的水体中更易占优势.     

高原深水湖泊抚仙湖大型底栖动物群落结构及多样性

云南抚仙湖是我国典型的高原深水湖泊,20世纪80年代以来,随着人类活动的加剧,其水体营养水平不断提高,生态系统发生了显著变化。为揭示该湖底栖动物的群落特征及其对生态系统变化的响应,2005年正7月对大型底栖动物群落进行了调查。在抚仙湖18个断面110个样点中共采集大型底栖动物19属27种,大型底栖动物出现率为97.3％,平均密度为855ind．／m^2,平均生物量为58．01g／m^2。在密度组成上软体动物（50．3％）〉摇蚊幼虫（32-3％）〉寡毛类（17．4％）,优势种为花纹前突摇蚊（Procladius choreus）、长角涵螺（Alocinma tongicornis）和方形环棱螺（Bellamya quadrata）,三者共占总密度的51．4％。寡毛类和摇蚊幼虫全湖性分布,而软体动物主要分布在沿岸区,各类群优势种均呈聚集分布。底栖动物在沿岸区生物量显著大于湖心区（P〈0．01）,但两者之间密度差异不显著（P〉0．05）;南区和北区之间的密度（P〉0．05）和生物量（P〉0．05）差异均不显著。相关分析表明,表层沉积物总有机碳、底层水体溶解氧是影响底栖动物密度分布的关键理化因子,而底层水体溶解氧是影响底栖动物生物量分布的关键理化因子。抚仙湖大型底栖动物群落的Pielou均匀度指数、Margalef丰富度指数、Simpson优势度指数、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数及改进的Shannon-Wiener多样性指数分别为0．74、2．88、0．87、2．40和20．84。沿岸区底栖动物多样性明显高于湖心区,主要是由于沿岸区分布有各种沉水植物,提高了底栖动物生境的异质性。与1980年调查结果相比,抚仙湖底栖动物多样性呈上升趋势,这与水体营养水平不断提高,沉水植物分布面积扩大有关。

The relative importance of local conditions and regional processes in structuring aquatic plant communities

1. The structure of biological communities reflects the influence of both local environmental conditions and processes such as dispersal that create patterns in species’ distribution across a region. 2. We extend explicit tests of the relative importance of local environmental conditions and regional spatial processes to aquatic plants, a group traditionally thought to be little limited by dispersal. We used partial canonical correspondence analysis and partial Mantel tests to analyse data from 98 lakes and ponds across Connecticut (northeastern United States). 3. We found that aquatic plant community structure reflects the influence of local conditions (pH, conductivity, water clarity, lake area, maximum depth) as well as regional processes. 4. Only 27% of variation in a presence/absence matrix was explained by environmental conditions and spatial processes such as dispersal. Of the total explained, 45% was related to environmental conditions and 40% to spatial processes. 5. Jaccard similarity declined with Euclidean distance between lakes, even after accounting for the increasing difference in environmental conditions, suggesting that dispersal limitation may influence community composition in the region. 6. The distribution of distances among lakes where species occurred was associated with dispersal‐related functional traits, providing additional evidence that dispersal ability varies among species in ways that affect community composition. 7. Although environmental and spatial variables explained a significant amount of variation in community structure, a substantial amount of stochasticity also affects these communities, probably associated with unpredictable colonisation and persistence of the plants.     

上海市潮滩湿地大型底栖动物的空间分布格局

通过对上海市6个典型潮滩湿地（崇明东滩、崇明北滩、九段沙、青草沙、南汇边滩和杭州湾北岸）的调查,共记录到大型底栖动物112种,甲壳动物、软体动物和环节动物分别占总物种数的51．8％、22．3％和18．8％。6个潮滩湿地中大型底栖动物生物量的空间分布呈现一致的规律,即高潮区〉中潮区〉低潮区;在生物量构成中,甲壳动物是最为重要的类群,其总体平均相对贡献率在51％～97％之间,软体动物的总体平均相对贡献率在2％～48％之间。大型底栖动物密度的空间分布在地点间存在较大差异,在崇明东滩、九段沙和杭州湾北岸湿地中,软体动物在数量上占优势;而在崇明北滩、青草沙和南汇边滩,甲壳动物却是优势类群。与20世纪80和90年代的调查资料相比,近20多年来上海市潮滩湿地中大型底栖动物生物量明显增加,但群落结构发生了根本改变,优势类群由个体较小的软体动物转变为平均体重较大的甲壳动物,这主要与人类活动（过度采捕、环境污染和生物促淤等因素）的强度干扰有关,也反映上海市潮滩湿地的环境质量和生态功能正在逐步下降。     

安徽菜子湖大型底栖动物的群落结构特征

近年来,长江中下游迅速发展的淡水渔业对湖泊湿地产生严重扰动,湖泊生态系统的结构和功能受到影响。为揭示大型底栖动物群落对湖泊扰动的响应,对安徽菜子湖群不同养殖程度的白兔湖、嬉子湖和菜子湖3个湖区进行了大型底栖动物周年定量调查。全湖设置49个样点,调查7次。共采集到大型底栖动物34属39种,优势种为摇蚊(Tendipes sp.)、苏氏尾鳃蚓(Branchiura sowerbyi)、长角涵螺(Alocinma longicornis)。大型底栖动物密度为(55.20±76.25) 个/m²,生物量为(19.56±65.37) g/m²,其中白兔湖、菜子湖、嬉子湖密度分别为(63.43±52.76)、(36.44±34.49)和(79.77±118.90) 个/m²,生物量分别为(17.48±28.24)、(21.70±39.44)和(4.94±18.46) g/m²。嬉子湖的节肢动物密度和生物量均显著大于白兔湖和菜子湖(P＜0.01),而白兔湖和菜子湖的软体动物密度和生物量均显著大于嬉子湖(P＜0.01)。聚类分析表明,白兔湖和菜子湖的大型底栖动物的群落结构相似性较高,但与嬉子湖养殖区的相似性较低。白兔湖和菜子湖大型底栖动物的Shannon-Wiener指数分别为2.25、1.71,嬉子湖仅为1.44。与2001年的资料相比,大型底栖动物的优势种发生了改变,群落多样性显著降低。水产养殖、修建堤坝等人为干扰已经对菜子湖群大型底栖动物群落结构产生了较大的影响,发展可持续渔业将是湖泊生态系统保护的重要途径。     

Macrozoobenthos in saline rivers in the Lake Elton basin: Spatial and temporal dynamics

The data on seasonal and interannual changes in the taxonomic, structural, and quantitative characteristics of macrozoobenthos communities in rivers with a high salinity gradient are given. A total of 91 benthic invertebrate taxa have been revealed, which were dominated by Cricotopus salinophilus, Chironomus salinarius, C. aprilinus, Tanytarsus kharaensis, Microchironomus deribae, Glyptotendipes salinus (Diptera: Chironomidae), Culicoides (M.) riethi, Palpomyia schmidti (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), Paranais simplex (Oligochaeta), and Ephydra sp. (Ephydridae) in different years. The fauna of benthic communities is mainly represented by eurybiontic halotolerant species with different ranges of resistance to salinity. The taxonomic composition and diversity of macrozoobenthos communities are closely correlated with water salinity in the range from 4 to 41 g/L; the complex of hydrological and hydrophysical factors (depth, overgrowing, water temperature, pH, etc.) control the distribution and abundance of species.     

The role of environmental and spatial processes in structuring native and non‐native fish communities across thousands of lakes

Quantifying the role of spatial patterns is an important goal in ecology to further understand patterns of community composition. We quantified the relative role of environmental conditions and regional spatial patterns that could be produced by environmental filtering and dispersal limitation on fish community composition for thousands of lakes. A database was assembled on fish community composition, lake morphology, water quality, climatic conditions, and hydrological connectivity for 9885 lakes in Ontario, Canada. We utilized a variation partitioning approach in conjunction with Moran's Eigenvector Maps (MEM) and Asymmetric Eigenvector Maps (AEM) to model spatial patterns that could be produced by human‐mediated and natural modes of dispersal. Across 9885 lakes and 100 fish species, environmental factors and spatial structure explained approximately 19% of the variation in fish community composition. Examining the proportional role of spatial structure and environmental conditions revealed that as much as 90% of the explained variation in native species assemblage composition is governed by environmental conditions. Conversely on average, 67% of the explained variation in non‐native assemblage composition can be related to human‐mediated dispersal. This study highlights the importance of including spatial structure and environmental conditions when explaining patterns of community composition to better discriminate between the ecological processes that underlie biogeographical patterns of communities composed of native and non‐native fish species.     

Changes and drivers of zooplankton diversity patterns in the middle reach of Yangtze River floodplain lakes,China

Anthropogenic habitat alteration interferes the natural aquatic habitats and the system''s hydrodynamics in the Yangtze River floodplain lakes, resulting in a serious decline in freshwater biodiversity. Zooplankton communities possess major position in freshwater ecosystems, which play essential parts in maintaining biological balance of freshwater habitats. Knowledge of processes and mechanisms for affecting variations in abundance, biomass, and diversity of zooplankton is important for maintaining biological balance of freshwater ecosystems. Here, we analyzed that the temporal and spatial changes in the structure of zooplankton community and their temporal and spatial variations respond to changes in environmental factors in the middle reach of Yangtze River floodplain lakes. The results showed that zooplankton samples were classified into 128 species, and Rotifera was the most common taxa. Significant seasonal differences were found among the abundance and diversity of zooplankton. Similarly, we also found significant seasonal differences among the biomass of zooplankton functional groups. The spatial turnover component was the main contributor to the β diversity pattern, which indicated that study areas should establish habitat restoration areas to restore regional biodiversity. The NMDS plot showed that the structure of zooplankton community exhibited significant seasonal changes, where the community structure was correlated with pH, water temperature, water depth, salinity, total nitrogen, chlorophyll‐a, and total phosphorus based on RDA. This study highlights that it is very important to ensure the floodplain ecosystem''s original state of functionality for maintaining the regional diversity of the ecosystem as a whole.     

Diversity and structure of macrozoobenthic communities in the highly mineralized Khara River (territory adjacent to Lake Elton)

The present paper deals with the results of the first study (April and August, 2006–2007) of the taxonomic composition of macrozoobenthos in the highly mineralized Khara River. The study revealed 35 species and taxa of the rank above species. Data were obtained on the spatial distribution of the species composition dynamics and on the quantitative development of the macrozoobenthic community. The dependence of the structure of bottom communities on the parameters of the river’s trophic status, biotopic diversity, and changes in hydrochemical parameters was determined. The environmental factors (total mineralization, ionic composition, pH, oxygen content, water temperature, overgrowth by macrophytes) influencing structural changes in macrozoobenthic community were determined. It is shown that diversity, number, and biomass of halotolerant macrozoobenthic communities increase with a rise in water mineralization from 6.9 to 14 mg/L. A new halophilic chironomid species of the family Chironominae, Tanytarsus kharaensis Zorina et Zinchenko, has been found.     

A multi-scale comparison of trait linkages to environmental and spatial variables in fish communities across a large freshwater lake

Species present in communities are affected by the prevailing environmental conditions, and the traits that these species display may be sensitive indicators of community responses to environmental change. However, interpretation of community responses may be confounded by environmental variation at different spatial scales. Using a hierarchical approach, we assessed the spatial and temporal variation of traits in coastal fish communities in Lake Huron over a 5-year time period (2001–2005) in response to biotic and abiotic environmental factors. The association of environmental and spatial variables with trophic, life-history, and thermal traits at two spatial scales (regional basin-scale, local site-scale) was quantified using multivariate statistics and variation partitioning. We defined these two scales (regional, local) on which to measure variation and then applied this measurement framework identically in all 5 study years. With this framework, we found that there was no change in the spatial scales of fish community traits over the course of the study, although there were small inter-annual shifts in the importance of regional basin- and local site-scale variables in determining community trait composition (e.g., life-history, trophic, and thermal). The overriding effects of regional-scale variables may be related to inter-annual variation in average summer temperature. Additionally, drivers of fish community traits were highly variable among study years, with some years dominated by environmental variation and others dominated by spatially structured variation. The influence of spatial factors on trait composition was dynamic, which suggests that spatial patterns in fish communities over large landscapes are transient. Air temperature and vegetation were significant variables in most years, underscoring the importance of future climate change and shoreline development as drivers of fish community structure. Overall, a trait-based hierarchical framework may be a useful conservation tool, as it highlights the multi-scaled interactive effect of variables over a large landscape.
