澜沧江中游水生昆虫生活史和生态学性状多样性的海拔格局: 气候和土地利用的影响

物种通过功能性状响应环境变化, 探究群落功能性状多样性的海拔格局是揭示生物多样性空间分布格局和形成机制的重要研究内容。气候变化和土地利用是影响溪流生物多样性变化及其群落构建的重要因素, 然而气候和土地利用沿海拔梯度如何影响水生昆虫功能性状垂直分布格局的系统研究仍旧比较缺乏。本文基于2016年和2018年在云南澜沧江中游1,000-3,000 m海拔共56个溪流样点的水生昆虫群落调查数据, 利用线性和二次回归模型探索并比较了生活史性状(化性、生活史快慢、成虫寿命)和生态学性状(营养习性、生活习性、温度偏好)的群落加权平均性状多样性指数沿海拔梯度的分布特征, 并通过随机森林模型解析流域尺度气候和土地利用变量对生活史和生态学性状多样性垂直分布格局的影响。结果表明: 生活史性状中, 少于1世代、无季节性、慢季节性、成虫寿命长等性状多样性沿海拔梯度呈显著的“U”型分布格局, 而快季节性和成虫寿命极短多样性呈显著的单峰型海拔格局, 成虫寿命短多样性呈显著递增的海拔格局。生态学性状中, 温度偏好多样性与海拔梯度无关, 附着者和爬行者的多样性沿海拔梯度分别呈显著的递增和“U”型格局, 滤食者、植食者和捕食者的多样性分别呈显著递增、递减和“U”型海拔格局。随机森林模型分析结果表明, 气候和土地利用对生活史性状多样性的解释量高于对生态学性状多样性的解释量, 年平均温度和农业面积百分比是共同的关键因素。综上, 水生昆虫群落功能性状多样性海拔格局存在差异, 主要受不同自然环境梯度和人类干扰因素驱动。研究结果可为制定澜沧江流域生物多样性保护对策提供理论基础。     

三江自然保护区自然和干扰湿地节肢动物群落组成和生态指示

节肢动物是湿地生物多样性的重要组分，在维持湿地生态功能，指示湿地环境变化中发挥重要作用。在2020年7月对黑龙江三江国家级自然保护区沼泽湿地的23个采样点进行节肢动物样品采集，运用统计方法分析人类活动干扰对湿地节肢动物数量、群落组成、多样性的影响以及节肢动物对人类活动干扰的指示作用。共采集到节肢动物10目47科1825只，主要以双翅目和半翅目昆虫为主。自然湿地节肢动物的多度是干扰湿地的4.27倍；生物多样性指数在不同湿地类型之间存在一定差异，节肢动物的物种丰富度在自然湿地显著高于干扰湿地(P<0.05),而Pielou均匀度指数在干扰湿地显著高于自然湿地(P<0.05)。人类活动干扰对湿地节肢动物群落组成影响显著，聚类和非度量多纬尺度排序(NMDS)显示，两种湿地类型节肢动物群落结构相似性较低。指示值法分析显示，自然湿地的指示类群为叶甲科、蚁形甲科、叶蝉科、蚜科、盲蝽科、摇蚊科以及姬蜂总科，干扰湿地未发现指示类群。综上所述，湿地节肢动物对人类活动干扰响应十分敏感，可以作为指示湿地健康状况的关键生物类群。     

渭河底栖动物性状和功能对空间尺度环境变量响应的生态区差异性

以我国中部渭河南部流域山区和平原生态区的底栖动物为研究对象,通过计算29个生物性状类别和7个功能多样性指数,比较了不同生态区的生物性状组成和功能与性状多样性指数差异性;应用综合RLQ和fourth-corner方法探索底栖动物生物性状组成与土地利用和理化变量的关系;通过广义线性模型(GLM)比较不同空间尺度环境变量对底栖动物功能与性状多样性指数影响的生态区差异性。研究发现,共18个底栖动物性状组成在山区和平原间存在显著差异性,其中具有无庇护所和以叶片为庇护所材料、外骨骼轻微骨化和骨化良好、草食性、捕食性等生物性状的底栖动物栖息于栖境状况较好的山区,体壁呼吸、虫体柔软、集食者等生物性状更多的集中在人类活动较严重的平原区。除了功能均匀度指数外,山区的性状和功能多样性指数均显著高于平原,说明平原环境干扰显著降低了底栖动物性状和功能多样性。综合RLQ和fourth-corner方法表明底栖动物生物性状对环境胁迫的响应存在可预测性。GLM模型结果表明,山区和平原生物性状和功能多样性指数受到不同空间尺度土地利用和理化环境变量的影响:流域尺度城镇用地、水温和TN含量是影响山区功能和性状多样性指数模型的重要环境变量,但平原区河段尺度农业用地面积百分比和平均水深是影响功能和性状多样性的主要因子。     

凉水、帽儿山低级溪流中水生昆虫的群落特征及水质生物评价

在东北林业大学凉水国家级自然保护区和帽儿山实验林场,对3种类型低级溪流中水生昆虫进行采集、鉴定,分析水生昆虫群落组成、季节优势集中性和取食功能群,并应用指示生物法、Shannon-Weiner多样性指数、群落相似性系数和BI指数对溪流水质进行生物评价。共采集到水生昆虫4907个,分别隶属于8目38科,其中,毛翅目、蜉蝣目、横翅目和双翅目为四大优势类群,个体数量占水生昆虫总数量的91．13％。原始林溪流中水生昆虫个体数量最多,占总数的58．98％,次生林溪流次之,农田溪流最少。次生林溪流水生昆虫物种多样性要高于原始林和农田溪流,且其各种取食功能群比例较均衡。齿角石蛾科、鳞石蛾科、新蜉科和黑横科昆虫可以作为溪流清洁水质的指示生物。水生昆虫季节优势集中性与Shannon-Weiner多样性指数水质评价结果之间具有相关性,即随溪流水质污染程度的加重,水生昆虫的物种多样性逐渐减少。群落相似性系数的分析表明,原始林溪流和次生林溪流水质对水生昆虫的群落组成没有影响,农田溪流则产生中等影响。生物指数（BI）评价结果显示除了农田溪流10月的水质为轻污染外,其余时间3种溪流的水质都能达到清洁标准以上。     

2009-2013年Bt棉田节肢动物群落多样性动态变化

研究多年种植转Bt基因棉花对棉田节肢动物群落昆虫结构与组成、生物多样性的影响,明确其变化趋势,可为棉田害虫综合治理与生态调控、转Bt基因棉花环境安全性评价提供科学借鉴。于2009-2013年连续5年对转Bt基因棉花中棉所41和非转基因棉花中棉所49棉田节肢动物群落进行了系统调查,并结合5a气象因子的变化,分析了5年内棉田节肢动物群落相关参数的变化趋势。结果分析表明,2009-2013年中棉所41棉田昆虫群落、害虫亚群落和天敌亚群落所属目数有所上升,但差异不显著;所属科数、物种数、个体总数均呈现先上升后下降的趋势,个别年份差异显著,其余年份基本保持不显著的波动水平;昆虫群落和害虫亚群落多样性指数呈下降的趋势,至2013年下降达到显著水平,其余年份之间差异不显著,天敌亚群落多样性指数无显著变化;昆虫群落、害虫亚群落和天敌亚群落均匀性指数无显著变化;昆虫群落和害虫亚群落优势集中性指数有所上升,至2013年差异达到显著水平,天敌亚群落优势集中性各年份间无显著变化;与中棉所49棉田相比,相同年份中棉所41棉田昆虫群落、害虫亚群落和天敌亚群落结构与组成、多样性指数、均匀性指数和优势集中性指数均无显著差异。可见,短期内非剧烈天气变化对转基因棉田节肢动物群落、害虫亚群落和天敌亚群落在结构与组成、生物多样性方面没有明显的影响。     

不同类群水生昆虫群落间的一致性以及空间和环境因子的相对作用

生物多样性监测和保护过程中通常用到指示类群,然而对于这些指示类群有效性的测度仍然十分欠缺.为探讨不同类群水生昆虫群落的一致性及空间因子、环境变量的相对影响,作者于2010年4月对东苕溪流域源头溪流21个采样点进行了调查.共记录水生昆虫7目44科92属130种.我们将水生昆虫群落划分成鞘翅目(C)、蜉蝣目+襀翅目+毛翅目(EPT)和双翅目+广翅目+蜻蜒目(DMO)3个类群.一致性分析结果表明:3个类群的群落一致性(r)较高,分别为C对EPTr=0.65 (P＜0.001)、C对DMO r=0.67 (P＜0.001)、EPT对DMO r=0.82 (P＜0.001).方差分解表明环境变量是影响不同类群水生昆虫群落结构的主要因素,空间因子的影响相对较小.环境因子中影响不同类群水生昆虫群落的关键变量大体相似,其中海拔、pH、平均流速和化学需氧量是最主要的驱动因子.我们的结果表明该研究区域不同类群的水生昆虫群落一致性很高,且对环境变量的响应也相似;因此,在水生昆虫生物多样性保护中可考虑利用其中的某一类群,如蜉蝣目+襀翅目+毛翅目(EPT)类群,作为有效的指示类群.     

Impact of grazing on germination trait selection in an alpine grassland on the Tibet Plateau

放牧对青藏高原高寒草地种子萌发性状选择的影响 以前的研究表明放牧能够引起草地生物与非生物环境的显著变化,但这种变化影响草地群落对种子萌发特征的选择机制尚不清楚。因此,我们旨在回答：放牧是否对草地群落中萌发特征的组成和多样性产生显著影响。我们在实验室检测了研究草地群落内主要物种种子的萌发特性,并比较了这些植物在放牧和非放牧草地上的表现。在此基础上,比较了放牧草地和非放牧草地的各萌发性状的群落加权平均值和萌发性状多样性,从而了解放牧草地和非放牧草地是否存在不同的萌发性状结构。研究结果表明,在物种水平上,放牧和非放牧草地各物种的多度变化与物种的萌发性状无显著关系。但在群落水平上,与非放牧草地相比,放牧草地的物种普遍具有较高的种子萌发率;放牧草地种子萌发对变温的正响应显著大于非放牧草地,而且放牧草地种子萌发温度生态位宽度小于非放牧草地。与非放牧草地相比,放牧草地种子萌发性状多样性增加,萌发性状均匀度降低。放牧可以改变微生境,从而通过环境过滤改变草地群落对萌发性状的选择,导致草地群落的萌发性状于放牧前后在群落水平上存 在显著差异。

Functional Changes in Littoral Macroinvertebrate Communities in Response to Watershed-Level Anthropogenic Stress

Watershed-scale anthropogenic stressors have profound effects on aquatic communities. Although several functional traits of stream macroinvertebrates change predictably in response to land development and urbanization, little is known about macroinvertebrate functional responses in lakes. We assessed functional community structure, functional diversity (Rao’s quadratic entropy) and voltinism in macroinvertebrate communities sampled across the full gradient of anthropogenic stress in Laurentian Great Lakes coastal wetlands. Functional diversity and voltinism significantly decreased with increasing development, whereas agriculture had smaller or non-significant effects. Functional community structure was affected by watershed-scale development, as demonstrated by an ordination analysis followed by regression. Because functional community structure affects energy flow and ecosystem function, and functional diversity is known to have important implications for ecosystem resilience to further environmental change, these results highlight the necessity of finding ways to remediate or at least ameliorate these effects.

Assessing community functional attributes during substrate colonization: a field experiment using stream insects

Initial colonists of empty habitats tend to differ from those arriving later in terms of species identity and traits. We evaluated the dynamics of the functional attributes in aquatic insect communities during a colonization experiment under natural conditions. We tested whether the late stages of colonization show higher functional richness, diversity and specialization than early successional stages. We used 60 artificial slate samplers that were removed after 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 days of colonization. We considered five traits (with a total of 17 trait categories): feeding habits, dispersal medium, body size, body shape and locomotion. With these traits, we computed a global specialization index at the community level. Large shredders with a cylindrical body shape and fly dispersal while flying were prominent in late colonization. In contrast, early colonists tended to have flattened body and to disperse through water. Functional diversity and functional richness significantly increased in late colonization, resulting in a more specialized community. Our results suggest that any interference during the processes involved in stream insect colonization can be reflected in the community through the decrease or even lack of functional attributes.

     

What does species richness tell us about functional trait diversity? Predictions and evidence for responses of species and functional trait diversity to land‐use change

In the conservation literature on land‐use change, it is often assumed that land‐use intensification drives species loss, driving a loss of functional trait diversity and ecosystem function. Modern research, however, does not support this cascade of loss for all natural systems. In this paper we explore the errors in this assumption and present a conceptual model taking a more mechanistic approach to the species–functional trait association in a context of land‐use change. We provide empirical support for our model's predictions demonstrating that the association of species and functional trait diversity follows various trajectories in response to land‐use change. The central premise of our model is that land‐use change impacts upon processes of community assembly, not species per se. From the model, it is clear that community context (i.e. type of disturbance, species pool size) will affect the response trajectory of the relationship between species and functional trait diversity in communities undergoing land‐use change. The maintenance of ecosystem function and of species diversity in the face of increasing land‐use change are complementary goals. The use of a more ecologically realistic model of responses of species and functional traits will improve our ability to make wise management decisions to achieve both aims in specific at‐risk systems.     

Traits of benthic macroinvertebrates in semi-natural French streams: an initial application to biomonitoring in Europe

• 1 The methods used to indicate the biological state of streams are often based on taxonomic composition, and the abundance of species or other taxa. This ‘taxonomic structure’ varies among ecoregions and cannot be applied to wider geographical areas. Therefore, we assessed the species traits of benthic macroinvertebrates from semi‐natural reference sites as a potential benchmark for large‐scale biomonitoring. Our purpose was to assess the stability of community structure, based on the representation of taxa and of traits, across large gradients of geology (sedimentary to granitic), altitude (65–1982 m), geographical coordinates (0° 48′ W to 7° 20′ E and 42° 52′ to 48° 44′ N), stream order (1–5) and slope (0.5–60‰).
• 2 We used invertebrate abundance data from the 62 most natural French stream sites available. These abundance data served to weight the occurrence of ‘biological’ traits, such as reproductive characteristics, mobility, resistance forms, food, feeding habits, respiration, and ‘ecological’ traits, such as preferences for temperature, trophic level, saprobity, biogeographic distribution, longitudinal zonation, substratum and current velocity.
• 3 Multivariate analyses of taxonomic composition demonstrated a clear site gradient from lowlands to uplands and from calcareous to granitic geology. In contrast, community structure based on both biological and ecological traits was stable across environmental gradients.
• 4 The frequency distribution of biological traits indicated that the stream benthos of the ‘reference sites’ had a mixture of categories which confirmed theoretical predictions for temporally stable and spatially variable habitats. A mixture of ecological trait categories also occurred at our reference sites. Thus, semi‐natural benthic macroinvertebrate communities are functionally diverse. Moreover, we included an initial application of these traits to a case of slightly to moderately polluted sites to show that the impact of humans significantly changes this natural functional diversity.
• 5 Future studies should focus on the potential for various biological and ecological traits to discriminate different human impacts on the benthic macroinvertebrates of running waters, and on the integration of this functional application into a general ‘reference‐condition’ approach.

Relationships between the Seasonal Variations of Macroinvertebrates,and Land Uses for Biomonitoring in the Xitiaoxi River Watershed,China

The impacts of differences in watershed land uses, and differences in seasonality on benthic macroinvertebrate communities, were evaluated in 12 stream sites within the Xitiaoxi River watershed, China, from April 2009 to January 2010. The composition of macroinvertebrate community differed significantly among three land use types. Forested sites were characterized by high taxa richness, diversity and the benthic‐index of biotic integrity (B‐IBI), while farmland and urban disturbed stream sites presented contrary patterns. The percentage of urban land use, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen and total phosphorus were the major drivers for the variations. The land use related water quality stress gradients of the four sampling seasons were determined by means of four independent Principal Component Analyses. The responses of macroinvertebrate community metrics, to anthropogenic stressors, were explored using Spearman Rank Correlation analyses. All the selected metrics, including total numbers of taxa, numbers of Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera taxa, percentage of non‐insect abundance, percentage of scrapers abundance, Pielou’s evenness index, Simpson diversity index, and the Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity were correlated significantly with environmental gradients (PC1) in autumn. In other seasons such correlations were less pronounced. Our results imply that autumn is the optimal time to sample macroinvertebrate communities, and to conduct water quality biomonitoring in this subtropical watershed.

太子河大型底栖动物摄食功能群对河岸带土地利用类型的响应

为研究太子河大型底栖动物摄食功能群对河岸带土地利用类型的响应关系,于2012年5月对太子河流域底栖动物和水环境因子和土地利用类型进行野外调查及数据分析。结果表明：1）太子河流域底栖动物群落在4种不同土地利用类型内具有极显著差异,平均丰度、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数和Pielou均匀度指数在森林用地中最高,分别为8.86、0.73和0.94,平均密度在森林耕作用地中最高（782.75个/m²）,除食碎屑者功能群（S）,其他摄食功能群在不同土地利用类型内无差异（P > 0.05）。2）太子河土地利用类型与水环境因子之间的Pearson分析表明,森林用地与EC、TDS、TN、NH₃-N、COD_Mn之间呈显著负相关性,与DO、IOS之间呈显著正相关性;耕地与DO和IOS之间呈显著负相关性;城镇用地与EC、TDS和TN之间呈正相关性。3）太子河土地利用类型与底栖动物功能群之间的Spearman分析表明森林用地与食碎屑者（S）、刮食者（SC）和收集者（GC）呈正相关性。耕地与食碎屑者（S）、滤食者（FC）之间呈负相关性,城镇用地与刮食者（SC）和收集者（GC）之间呈显著负相关性。4）底栖动物功能群和水环境因子之间的典范对应分析表明,食碎屑者（S）功能群主要受底质指数（IOS）驱动,其他功能群与环境因子之间无相关性。因此,水环境因子和底栖动物群落参数比摄食功能群更能反映人类活动对土地利用的改变,水环境和底栖动物群落研究可为河岸带土地利用保护提供理论依据。
