滇池大型无脊椎动物的群落演变与成因分析

该文综合滇池大型无脊椎动物的历史资料,并结合2009—2010年的现场调查数据,对其群落演替进行了研究,并对群落衰退的成因进行了探讨。物种数下降明显,由20世纪80年代的57种降为现在的32种,群落的物种损失率高达44%。其中软体动物损失率高达75%:其次是水生昆虫(39%)。滇池全湖底栖动物密度为1776ind/m2(其中寡毛类1706ind/m2;摇蚊科68ind/m2)。近20年滇池全湖底栖动物的丰度比较发现,寡毛类的密度和生物量呈一种先急剧上升,而后明显下降的过程,而摇蚊科的密度和生物量呈现出减少的趋势。寡毛类中的耐污种相对丰度增加,如霍甫水丝蚓(Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri)成为绝对优势种,其平均相对丰度达到了74.1%。摇蚊科相对丰度减少,以前广泛分布的异腹鳃摇蚊(Einfeldiasp.)基本消失,取而代之的是羽摇蚊(Chironomus plumosus)、细长摇蚊(Ch.attenuatus)、中国长足摇蚊(Tanypus chinensis)等耐污种;软体动物种类变得单一,许多高原湖泊特有的软体动物均已消失,螺蛳(Margarya melanioides)、牟氏螺蛳(M.mondi)、光肋螺蛳(M.mansugi)在2009年被世界自然保护联盟列入了极危物种,滇池圆田螺(Cipangopaludina dianchiensis)也被列入了濒危物种。滇池的Shannon-Wiener多样性指数显著降低,尤其是草海物种多样性从20世纪50年代的2.70降到现在的0.30。半个多世纪以来总氮、总磷与物种数和多样性呈现显著负相关。底栖动物群落衰退的成因主要是生境破坏、水质恶化、蓝藻爆发、沉水植物消失、种质库匮乏等。

Response of epilithic diatom assemblages to water pollution in rivers in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, Japan

1. During the spring of 1992, fifty-two quantitative diatom samples were collected from twenty-eight rivers located in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, Japan, to study the response of the diatom assemblages to water pollution (assessed using physical and chemical data determined monthly from April 1987 to March 1992). 2. Species composition was analysed by means of biotic indices (Pantle and Buck's saprobic index) and multivariate analyses [two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) for classification and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) for ordination]. Species-abundance relationships were analysed using diversity indices (species richness, Shannon's diversity index and Pielou's evenness index) and rank-abundance patterns (rank-abundance curves). 3. CCA revealed two major gradients. The first corresponded to organic pollution and eutrophication. The second corresponded to variables related to geographical location. Four main station groups were determined by TWINSPAN. The location of the indicator species of groups 1–3 along the CCA axis 1 is consistent with their known pollution tolerance characteristics. Indicator species for group 4 had larger scores on CCA axis 2, and are representative of brackish water environments. 4. Species richness tended to be higher in the intermediate range of water pollution. Pielou's evenness index and Shannon's diversity index followed the same tendency but only weakly. 5. The rank-abundance patterns of diatom assemblages were more or less constant in all stations. The curves were very similar in shape, differing only in length and gradient (directly related to species richness and evenness, respectively). 6. The results of this study indicate that the response of diatom assemblages to environmental change can be observed in species compositional variation. Multivariate analyses and pollution indices revealed this response and are to be preferred to species diversity measures.

COMPARISON OF SIMPLE AND MULTIMETRIC DIATOM‐BASED INDICES FOR GREAT LAKES COASTLINE DISTURBANCE1

Because diatom communities are subject to the prevailing water quality in the Great Lakes coastal environment, diatom‐based indices can be used to support coastal‐monitoring programs and paleoecological studies. Diatom samples were collected from Great Lakes coastal wetlands, embayments, and high‐energy sites (155 sites), and assemblages were characterized to the species level. We defined 42 metrics on the basis of autecological and functional properties of species assemblages, including species diversity, motile species, planktonic species, proportion dominant taxon, taxonomic metrics (e.g., proportion Stephanodiscoid taxa), and diatom‐inferred (DI) water quality (e.g., DI chloride [Cl]). Redundant metrics were eliminated, and a diatom‐based multimetric index (MMDI) to infer coastline disturbance was developed. Anthropogenic stresses in adjacent coastal watersheds were characterized using geographic information system (GIS) data related to agricultural and urban land cover and atmospheric deposition. Fourteen independent diatom metrics had significant regressions with watershed stressor data; these metrics were selected for inclusion in the MMDI. The final MMDI was developed as the weighted sum of the selected metric scores with weights based on a metric’s ability to reflect anthropogenic stressors in the adjacent watersheds. Despite careful development of the multimetric approach, verification using a test set of sites indicated that the MMDI was not able to predict watershed stressors better than some of the component metrics. From this investigation, it was determined that simpler, more traditional diatom‐based metrics (e.g., DI Cl, proportion Cl‐tolerant species, and DI total phosphorus [TP]) provide superior prediction of overall stressor influence at coastal locales.     

在种与属两个级别评价太子河硅藻群落与环境因子的关系

2009年8—9月,对辽宁省太子河流域67个点位进行采样调查,以硅藻群落为研究对象,比较硅藻属级水平与种级水平相对多度、物种丰富度以及生物多样性指数间的相关性,并比较硅藻属级与种级属性与环境因子的相关性。实验结果表明,太子河流域硅藻属级水平的相对多度、丰富度和多样性指数与硅藻种级水平都极显著相关。Pearson相关性分析表明,硅藻属级水平的丰富度与环境显著相关的因子与种级水平丰富度与环境显著相关的因子相一致。Mantel-Test相关性分析表明,硅藻属级水平的相对多度与环境因子的相关性弱于种级水平与环境因子相关性。典范对应分析结果显示,影响硅藻属级和种级群落结构分布的主要环境因子均为悬浮物。基于硅藻生物评价指数的流域健康评价结果表明,应用硅藻属级和种级属性对太子河流域进行健康评价,其评价结果相一致。     

Are diatom diversity indices reliable monitoring metrics?

A biological survey was carried out in 640 stations spread over the Loire-Bretagne National Network (France) between 1996 and 2000. Epilithic diatom inventories were obtained following standard methods. A total of 934 diatom taxa were identified. Common diversity indices (species richness, Shannon’s diversity, equitability, dominance, etc.) were calculated and compared against abiotic factors verify their reliability as biomonitoring metrics. Sampling stations were classified according to their trophic status (TP concentration). Several theoretical predictions about the relationship between community structural parameters and limnological variables were tested. In general, diversity indices exhibited poor linear correlations with environmental factors indicating ecological status. No clear patterns were found concerning species accumulation curves, occurrence-abundance, frequency-abundance and frequency distribution of diatom taxa between different trophic levels, although assemblages from stations with lower TP levels were characterized by relatively high dominances of certain taxa, mainly Achnanthidium minutissimum. In the light of these findings, the use of diatom diversity indices in biological quality surveillance protocols in continental waters is discouraged. Results are compared and discussed with similar studies.     

Effect of urban and industrial wastes on species diversity of the diatom community in a tropical river,Malaysia

Monthly species diversity and other components of diversity of diatom samples collected over a period of one year at eight stations in the Linggi River Basin, Malaysia were analysed. Species diversity ranged between 0.52–3.62 bits individua^–1. Among the four stations located in the Linggi River (sensu stricto), highest diversity values were recorded at a station polluted by rubber effluent, followed by the stations unpolluted from point sources. Lowest diversity was recorded at a station polluted with urban sewage. At Kundor River, highest diversity was recorded at stations located downstream of rubber and palm oil waste discharges. On the whole, diversity values at unpolluted stations were always lower than at mildly polluted stations. Severe organic loadings caused low diversity by reducing the number of species (species richness) but did not increase the evenness (equitability) as expected when compared with unpolluted or mildly polluted stations. The changes in species diversity can be related to changes in diatom community structure and thereby changes in water quality, but cannot be used as an index of water quality.     

COMPARATIVE SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF DIATOM SILICON TRANSPORTERS: TOWARD A MECHANISTIC MODEL OF SILICON TRANSPORT1

Silicon is an important element in biology, for organisms ranging from unicellular algae to humans. It acts as a structural material for both plants and animals, but can also function as a metabolite or regulator of gene expression, affecting a wide range of cellular processes. Molecular details of biological interaction with silicon are poorly understood. Diatoms, the largest group of silicifying organisms, are a good model system for studying this interaction. The first proteins shown to directly interact with silicon were diatom silicon transporters (SITs). Because the basis for substrate recognition lies within the primary sequence of a protein, identification of conserved amino acid residues would provide insight into the mechanism of SIT function. Lack of SIT sequences from a diversity of diatoms and high sequence conservation in known SITs has precluded identification of such residues. In this study, PCR was used to amplify partial SIT sequences from eight diverse diatom species. Multiple gene copies were prevalent in each species, and phylogenetic analysis showed that SITs generally group according to species. In addition to partial SIT sequences, full‐length SIT genes were identified from the pennate diatom, Nitzschia alba (Lewin and Lewin), and the centric diatom Skeletonema costatum (Greville) Cleve. Comparing these SITs with previously identified SITs showed structural differences between SITs of centrics and pennates, suggesting differences in transport mechanism or regulation. Comparative amino acid analysis identified conserved regions that may be important for silicon transport, including repeats of the motif GXQ. A model for silicon uptake and efflux is presented that is consistent with known aspects of transport.     

SYSTEMATICS OF PRASIOLA AND PHYLOGENETIC POSITIONING OF THE PRASIOLALES (CHLOROPHYTA)

Sellman, S. M., Johansen, J. R. & Coburn, M. M. Department of Biology, John Carroll University, University Heights, OH 44118 USA The diatom composition of natural substrates at a single site were compared with that of the gut contents of three species of fish: stoneroller minnows, bluntnose minnows, and common shiners. Seven samples of each type were collected on a single day from a single pool in a headwater stream. Cluster analysis showed that diatom species composition clustered by fish species, with common shiners being a totally exclusive cluster, while natural substrates were scattered within the stoneroller and bluntnose clusters. Both richness and Shannon diversity were higher in fish gut samples than in the samples collected by humans, with stonerollers having the greatest diversity. When water quality indices calculated from the diatom floras recovered in these samples were compared, it was surprising to see that these indices consistently were better in fish gut samples than in samples collected by researchers. Common shiners particularly differed, a result possibly due to the fact that they apparently fed off of Cladophora and the highly oxygenated rock wall where the stream cascaded into the pool. In no case was the difference between stonerollers and natural substrates significantly different. Furthermore, samples from natural substrates had an internal similarity not significantly different from their similarity to samples in stoneroller and bluntnose guts. Our data thus consistently indicate that stoneroller minnows are excellent samplers that efficiently collect diverse, representative diatom samples.
