土壤纤毛虫群落对不同退还模式生态恢复的响应

为了探究土壤纤毛虫群落对不同退还模式生态恢复的响应及利用其群落特征来评价退还效果,于2014年4月至2015年7月在甘肃省天祝藏族自治县朵什乡退耕还林区选取了3个不同退还林型样点(云杉、沙棘混交林A1,云杉林A2,沙棘林B1)和2个对照耕地样点(小麦地A0,豌豆地B0)为研究样地,采用"非淹没培养皿法"、活体观察法和培养直接计数法对土壤纤毛虫群落特征进行了研究,同时测定了各样点土壤的相关环境因子,并分析了不同恢复模式下土壤纤毛虫群落特征与植被群落参数、土壤环境因子间的相关性。研究共鉴定到125种土壤纤毛虫,隶属于9纲19目29科34属。结果显示:退还样点和对照样点的土壤纤毛虫群落结构特征存在明显差异(P0.05),退还样点间的物种相似性减小,群落组成复杂化;退还样点土壤纤毛虫物种数、密度、物种多样性指数、均匀度指数和丰富度指数均明显增高(P0.05),且各样点间表现为A1B1A2B0A0;各样点优势类群的演替趋势,由对照样点的肾形目演替为退还样点的散毛目。相关性分析和冗余分析结果表明,退耕还林后,对纤毛虫群落结构稳定影响最主要的是有机质、含水量和全氮的含量,不同林型间土壤纤毛虫群落组成差异较大,表明土壤纤毛虫群落结构可作为对退耕还林生态恢复的评价指标。     

甘肃省徽县不同退耕还林模式下土壤纤毛虫群落特征

为了解土壤纤毛虫群落对退耕还林生态恢复的响应且将其作为评价生态恢复效果的重要参数,采用"非淹没培养皿法"、活体观察法和培养直接计数法对甘肃省陇南市徽县退耕还林区3个不同退还林型样点和1个撂荒地(对照)样点的土壤纤毛虫群落特征、植被群落特征和土壤理化指标进行了研究。结果显示:共鉴定土壤纤毛虫127种,隶属于9纲18目28科47属,恢复样点的土壤纤毛虫物种数、密度和物种多样性指数均显著高于对照样点;优势类群由对照样点的肾形目(Colpodida)演替为恢复样点的散毛目(Sporadotrichida),即随着退耕还林工程的进行,纤毛虫群落趋于复杂化。相关性分析显示,土壤纤毛虫群落与地上植被关系密切,且含水量、有机质、全氮和电导率为影响土壤纤毛虫群落组成的主导因子。该结果表明,退耕还林后,植被逐渐恢复,土壤理化因子发生变化,土壤纤毛虫群落对生态环境的恢复做出了积极的响应,因此土壤纤毛虫群落特征参数可以作为评价退耕还林效果的重要指标。     

甘肃定西华家岭土壤纤毛虫群落对生态恢复的响应

为了解土壤纤毛虫群落对生态恢复下的土壤环境的响应,于2007年9月—2008年8月用活体观察法和"三级十倍环式稀释法"对甘肃定西华家岭5个不同恢复阶段的人工云杉林和1个荒草坡对照点的土壤纤毛虫群落以及季节动态进行了研究,探讨了土壤纤毛虫群落组成对生态恢复下土壤环境的相关性。共鉴定到127种纤毛虫,隶属于3纲9目34科50属。研究发现,各不同恢复年限土样中土壤纤毛虫的物种分布存在明显差异,并随恢复时间的延长,样点间物种相似性减小,群落组成复杂化,丰度、物种数和物种多样性指数均呈上升趋势。优势类群也发生了响应,由I号对照样点和恢复初期II号样点的肾形目变为恢复后期样点的下毛目。结果显示,土壤纤毛虫群落动态很好地响应了生态恢复过程中土壤环境条件的变化。土壤纤毛虫群落可用于陆地生态恢复评价,但要建立有效可行的、具有普遍意义的评价指标体系,尚需大量的和系统的工作。

放牧对沼泽化草甸土壤纤毛虫群落的影响

通过对甘南玛曲县3个不同放牧强度(全年禁牧、季节性放牧、全年放牧)的沼泽化草甸土壤纤毛虫群落研究调查,共鉴定纤毛虫105种,分别隶属于8纲、17目、30科、39属。在3种放牧强度下,季节性放牧纤毛虫物种多样性指数最高,全年禁牧次之,全年放牧最小;C/P系数(肾形类纤毛虫与多膜类纤毛虫种类数的比值)排序为季节性放牧全年禁牧全年放牧;全年禁牧和季节性放牧土壤纤毛虫的群落相似性较高,而全年放牧和全年禁牧样点之间群落差异较大。土壤含水量、有机质与物种数、密度及多样性指数呈极显著正相关(P0.01),全磷与密度呈极显著正相关(P0.01)且与物种数和物种多样性指数呈显著正相关(P0.05)。对土壤纤毛虫群落组成参数(物种数、物种多样性指数、密度)与土壤环境因子(土壤温度、含水量、pH、有机质、全氮、全磷、速效磷、无机氮)进行冗余分析,结果表明,土壤含水量、有机质、全氮对纤毛虫的群落组成影响较大,其中有机质对土壤纤毛虫群落的影响最大。     

子午岭植被自然演替中植物多样性变化及其与土壤理化性质的关系

在野外样方调查和室内实验分析的基础上,采用相关性分析和多元逐步回归方法,分析了黄土高原子午岭地区不同演替阶段群落物种多样性、土壤理化特性以及二者的相互关系.结果表明:群落物种多样性随演替进展呈增长趋势,但其增长并非完全线性,主要表现为草本群落演替阶段物种多样性指数高于灌木演替阶段.0~20 cm和20~40 cm土层土壤的全氮、有效氮和有机质等土壤养分指标随着植被演替不断增大.在演替过程中,土壤含水量变化虽有波动,但总体上升,土壤容重波动下降,说明演替过程中土壤环境在不断得到改善.40~60 cm土层土壤理化性质变化未表现出一定规律,说明其与植被演替没有必然联系.物种多样性指数与土壤因子的相关性分析表明,群落演替过程中物种多样性变化与土壤因子存在一定相关性,其中0~20 cm土层土壤的全氮和有机质与物种的多样性指数呈显著正相关.随着土层加深,物种多样性对土壤理化性质影响表现出减弱趋势.

Intestinal ciliate composition found in the feces of the Turk rahvan horse Equus caballus, Linnaeus 1758

Species composition and distribution of large intestinal ciliates were investigated in the feces from 15 Turk rahvan horses, living in the vicinity of Izmir, Turkey. Twenty-two ciliate genera consisting of 36 species were identified. This is the first report on intestinal ciliates in Turk rahvan horses and no previously unknown species were observed. The mean number of ciliates was 14.2 ± 13.9 × 10⁴ cells ml⁻¹ of feces and the mean number of ciliate species per host was 9.9 ± 7.1. No ciliates were observed in 2 horses. Bundleia and Blepharocorys were considered to be the major genera since these ciliates were constantly found in high proportions. In contrast, Paraisotricha, Didesmis and Gassovskiella were only observed at low frequencies. The ciliates found in this survey had almost the same characteristics as those described in previous reports, suggesting that there was no significant geographic variation in the intestinal ciliate fauna of equids.     

The ciliated protozoa of the monomictic Lake Kinneret (Israel): species composition and distribution during stratification

The ciliate taxa from epilimnion, hypolimnion, and littoral of Lake Kinneret were studied from November to December 1987 during stratification. Two collections of planktonic and benthic ciliates were taken at each of six sampling stations. Benthic ciliates from the littoral zone were collected at seven stations along the lake shore. Densities were determined for each ciliate species and for total protozoans at each station and sampling date. Thirty-six species of ciliates, representing 31 Genera, 18 Orders and 7 Classes, were identified. Planktonic protozoans characteristic of the epilimnion included Coleps hirtus and Vorticella mayeri. The more abundant taxa of benthic ciliates in the profundal of the lake included Saprodinium dentatum, Plagiopyla nasuta and Dexiotricha plagia. The predominant ciliate in the littoral was Pleuronema coronatum. Principal component analysis, performed on the correlation matrix of both sampling stations and species, revealed that epilimnion, hypolimnion, and littoral belt were colonized by different ciliate communities.     

A huge,undescribed soil ciliate (Protozoa: Ciliophora) diversity in natural forest stands of Central Europe

We investigated 12 natural forest stands in eastern Austria for soil ciliate diversity, viz., eight beech forests and two lowland and Pinus nigra forests each. The stands span a wide range of climatic (e.g., 543–1759 mm precipitation, 160–1035 m above sea-level) and abiotic (e.g., pH 4–7.4) factors. Samples were taken twice in autumn and late spring and analysed with the non-flooded Petri dish method. Species were identified in vivo, in silver preparations, and in the scanning electron microscope. A total of 233 species were found, of which 30 were undescribed, a surprising number showing our ignorance of soil ciliate diversity, even in Central Europe. Species number varied highly from 45 (acidic beech on silicate) to 120 (floodplain forest) and was strongly correlated with pH and overall habitat quality, as measured by climate, the C/P quotient (ratio of r-selected colpodean and k-selected polyhymenophorean ciliates), and the proportion of mycophagous ciliate species; multivariate analysis showed further important variables, viz., the general nutrient status (glucose, nitrogen, C/ N ratio) and microbial (urease) activity. The highest species number occurred in one of the two floodplain soils, supporting the intermediate disturbance hypothesis. The three main forest types could be clearly distinguished by their ciliate communities, using similarity indices and multidimensional scaling. Individual numbers varied highly from 135^–1 (lowland forest) to 10,925 ml^–1 (beech on silicate) soil percolate and showed, interestingly, a weak correlation with soil protozoan phospholipid fatty acids. Eight of the 30 new species found and a forgotten species, Arcuospathidium coemeterii (Kahl 1943) nov. comb., are described in detail, as examples of how species were recognized and soil protozoan diversity should be analyzed: Latispathidium truncatum bimicronucleatum, Protospathidium fusioplites, Erimophrya sylvatica, E. quadrinucleata, Paragonostomum simplex, Periholosticha paucicirrata, P. sylvatica, and Australocirrus zechmeisterae.     

甘南亚高寒草甸土壤纤毛虫群落结构变化对不同坡向的响应

土壤纤毛虫不但是土壤生态系统的重要组成部分,而且是生态系统物质循环、能量流动过程的重要驱动因子。为了查明甘南亚高寒草甸不同坡向土壤纤毛虫群落特征,于2015年7月21—26日对同一山头的阳坡、半阳坡、西坡、半阴坡、阴坡五个坡向进行了调查。结果表明:(1)经"非淹没培养皿法"鉴定得到纤毛虫142种,隶属于9纲18目32科55属,各坡向物种数、个体数大小关系呈现出西坡半阳坡阳坡半阴坡阴坡;优势类群有旋毛纲、裂口纲、寡膜纲、肾形纲其优势度依次为28.17%、19.72%、13.38%、12.68%。(2)不同坡向上土壤纤毛虫的物种数、个体数、Shannon指数均具有显著性差异(P0.05),表明甘南亚高寒草甸生态系统中的土壤纤毛虫对于坡向这一微气候环境的变化具有敏感性。(3)各坡向土壤纤毛虫的物种数、个体数都具有明显的表聚性。(4)利用皮尔森相关性分析得出,在所测得的土壤理化因子中对纤毛虫的物种数、个体数均具有显著正相关(P0.05)的是全氮、有机质。综合分析,影响甘南亚高寒草甸不同坡向上土壤纤毛虫群落结构变化的主要因素为全氮、土壤有机质以及地上植被状况。     

Genetic analysis of ciliates living on the groundwater amphipod Crangonyx islandicus (Amphipoda: Crangonyctidae)

Two endemic subterranean freshwater amphipod species have been discovered in groundwater of the volcanic active zone in Iceland, Crangonyx islandicus and Crymostygius thingvallensis. At least five different ciliate sequences were isolated from C. islandicus and the analysis of variation at the 18S ribosomal DNA gene suggests that they present previously unsequenced species, from the orders Apostomatida and Philasterida. Apostome ciliates are well known to be exuviotrophic epibionts on crustaceans. Analyses of ciliate epibionts from different groundwater amphipod species from North America and mainland Europe revealed distinct groups of ciliates and higher diversity on the epigean amphipod Crangonyx pseudogracilis. Analysis of geographic patterns of the most common ciliate within Iceland revealed population differentiation supporting limited current connectivity between the different groundwater systems. Our study reports an occurrence of previously undescribed ciliate species in a groundwater ecosystem characterized by low species diversity.     

西藏年楚河流域湿地土壤纤毛虫群落特征

为了研究西藏年楚河流域湿地土壤纤毛虫群落特征及其影响因素，于2020年5月、8月和10月春夏秋三个季节，根据年楚河流域湿地分布特征选取了5个湿地样地共计75个土壤样品，采用"非淹没培养皿法"和"活体观察法"对土壤纤毛虫进行了培养和鉴定，共鉴定出土壤纤毛虫154种，隶属于9纲、19目、43科、70属。结果表明土壤纤毛虫优势类群为前管目（Prorodontida），占11.69%；刺钩目（Haptorida）为次优势类群，占11.04%；罕见类群为游仆虫目（Euplotidae）、瓶纤目（Armophorida）、肾形目（Colpodida）、嗜污目（Philaslasterida）、齿管目（Chlamydodontida）和吸管目（Succorida），共占16.23%。湿地土壤纤毛虫多样性指数在三个季节间均无显著性差异（P>0.05），SD4样地的多样性指数在5个样地中最高；湿地土壤纤毛虫C/P（0.35）<1，表明其土壤环境未污染；土壤纤毛虫群落相似性位于极不相似到中等不相似之间，说明不同样地的物种组成差异性较大；土壤含水量（SWC）、土壤温度（ST）和速效钾（RAK）是影响土壤纤毛虫群落分布的因素。     

景观水体周丛生纤毛虫群落结构及其与环境因子的关系

为了解载玻片法获取的周丛生纤毛虫群落可否用于监测景观水体,于2015年利用载玻片采样法对上海东南角的一处景观水体的周丛生纤毛虫的群落结构进行了周年调查,并对其与环境因子之间的相关性进行了研究。共检出12目51种周丛生纤毛虫。周丛生纤毛虫的年平均密度为127.29个/cm~2,2月密度最低,为24.27个/cm~2,5月密度最高,为248.57个/cm~2;其群落结构应对水体环境的变化呈现显著的季节性变动。多元统计分析表明,总磷浓度和水温(T)均是影响周丛生纤毛虫群落结构的主要环境因子。作为周丛生纤毛虫最主要的类群,缘毛目纤毛虫的密度与透明度(SD)和电导率(Spc)呈显著正相关,与T呈极显著正相关;丁丁目、毛口目和侧口目纤毛虫的密度与SD呈显著负相关,其中丁丁目纤毛虫的密度与T呈极显著负相关;此外,丁丁目纤毛虫的密度与总氮(TN)浓度呈极显著正相关。冗余分析显示,优势种钟形钟虫、钟虫sp.2、聚缩虫sp.1、亨氏累枝虫、沟钟虫和螅状独缩虫的密度与环境因子具有较好相关性。研究表明,载玻片法采集的周丛生纤毛虫能很好的反映水质变化,该方法可以作为景观水体水质监测方法的一个补充。
