生物多样性是生态学的核心问题。传统的多样性指数仅包含物种数和相对多度的信息,这类基于分类学的多样性指数并不能很好地帮助理解群落构建和生态系统功能。不同物种对群落构建和生态系统功能所起到的作用类型和贡献也不完全相同,且物种在生态过程中的作用和贡献往往与性状密切相关,因此功能多样性已经成为反映物种群落构建、干扰以及环境因素对群落影响的重要指标。同时,由于亲缘关系相近的物种往往具有相似的性状,系统发育多样性也可以作为功能多样性的一个替代。功能多样性和系统发育多样性各自具有优缺点,但二者均比分类多样性更能揭示群落和生态系统的构建、维持与功能。  相似文献

To gain a better understanding of the interactions among bacteria, viruses and flagellates in coastal marine ecosystems, we investigated the effect of viral lysis and protistan bacterivory on bacterial abundance, production and diversity [determined by 16S rRNA gene polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE)] in three coastal marine sites with different nutrient supplies in Hong Kong. Six experiments were set up using filtration and dilution methods to develop virus, flagellate and virus+flagellate treatments for natural bacterial populations. All three predation treatments had significant repressing effects on bacterial abundance. Bacterial production was significantly repressed by flagellates and both predators (flagellates and viruses). Bacterial apparent species richness (indicated as the number of DGGE bands) was always significantly higher in the presence of viruses, flagellates and both predators than in the predator-free control. Cluster analysis of the DGGE patterns showed that the effects of viruses and flagellates on bacterial community structure were relatively stochastic while the co-effects of predators caused consistent trends (DGGE always showed the most similar patterns when compared with those of in situ environments) and substantially increased the apparent richness. Overall, we found strong evidence that viral lysis and protist bacterivory act additively to reduce bacterial production and to sustain diversity. This first systematic attempt to study the interactive effects of viruses and flagellates on the diversity and production of bacterial communities in coastal waters suggests that a tight control of bacterioplankton dominants results in relatively stable bacterioplankton communities.  相似文献

Degradation succession of heterotrophic flagellate communities was studied in samples of detritus and water from a small swamped lake in the environs of the settlement Borok, Yaroslavl province. Three stages of succession with different species composition of the heterotrophic flagellate community were clearly recognized. Cumulative properties of the community change with time. Maximum species richness, diversity, and abundance were observed on the fourth day of succession; their values gradually decreased later. The trophic and taxonomic community structure was most diverse at the earlier stages of succession. Primordial food (bacteria) concentration affects only the size of peak community properties, but has no influence on the pattern of succession changes. The influence of predators considerably reduced heterotrophic flagellate abundance and can shift the time of the stage with maximum species diversity in the course of succession.  相似文献

The effects of nutrient enrichment on density, biomass and on the relative contribution of pigmented and heterotrophic flagellates to the total abundance of all flagellates associated with Eichhornia crassipes were evaluated through mesocosm experiments over 33 days. Two triplicate treatments (nitrogen and phosphorus addition and a control treatment) were colonized, producing six mesocosm systems. The only variable that showed significance was flagellate density. Density increased significantly with increased nutrient concentrations in both flagellate groups, suggesting the importance of bottom‐up control mechanisms. However, the time lag and the low magnitude response to density, as well as the lack of significant variation in biomass with respect to fertilization, suggested that a complex relationship is responsible for influencing the structure of flagellate communities associated with vegetation during nutrient enrichment in these food webs.

In aquatic environments heterotrophic flagellates are an important component within the microbial loop and the food web, owing to their involvement in the energy transfer and flux and as an intermediate link between bacteria and primary producers, and greater organisms, such as other protists and metazoan consumers. In the microbial loop heterotrophic flagellates highly contribute to fast biomass and nutrient recycling and to the production in aquatic environments. In fact, these protists consume efficiently viruses, bacteria, cyanobacteria and picophytoplankton, and are grazed mainly by other protists, rotifers and small crustaceans. In this paper the knowledge about these unicellular organisms is reviewed, taking into particular account their ecological relationships and trophic role within the plankton community of marine and freshwater environments.  相似文献

Species composition, distribution, and the character of structural changes in the heterotrophic flagellate community were studied along environmental gradients in the Chernaya River estuary. There were 99 species and forms of heterotrophic flagellates, subdivided into three groups: prevalently marine species and euryhaline species preferring biotopes either of higher or decreased salinity. The heterotrophic flagellate community of the estuary was continuously divided into two distinct variants: (1) cenosis of halophilic species, prevalently of sea forms and euryhaline species preferring biotopes of increased salinity; (2) cenosis of halophobic species with prevalence of euryhaline forms gravitating to fresh biotopes. The arbitrary and indistinct boundary between the variants of the community ran at a salinity of 9–10‰. The response of estuarine communities of heterotrophic flagellates and infusorians to variation of abiotic factors was similar and differed from response of communities of microphyto-, meiozoo-and macrozoobenthos; this implied similarity of the response mechanism to environmental factors in organisms of one level of organization.  相似文献

Ecological communities hosted within phytotelmata (plant compartments filled with water) provide an excellent opportunity to test ecological theory and to advance our understanding of how local and global environmental changes affect ecosystems. However, insights from bromeliad phytotelmata communities are currently limited by scarce accounts of microfauna assemblages, even though these assemblages are critical in transferring, recycling, and releasing nutrients in these model ecosystems. Here, we analyzed natural microfaunal communities in leaf compartments of 43 bromeliads to identify the key environmental filters underlying their community structures. We found that microfaunal community richness and abundance were negatively related to canopy openness and vertical height above the ground. These associations were primarily driven by the composition of amoebae and flagellate assemblages and indicate the importance of bottom‐up control of microfauna in bromeliads. Taxonomic richness of all functional groups followed a unimodal relationship with water temperature, peaking at 23–25°C and declining below and above this relatively narrow thermal range. This suggests that relatively small changes in water temperature under expected future climate warming may alter taxonomic richness and ecological structure of these communities. Our findings improve the understanding of this unstudied but crucial component of bromeliad ecosystems and reveal important environmental filters that likely contribute to overall bromeliad community structure and function.  相似文献

The species diversity and distribution of benthic heterotrophic flagellates in sediment samples from along the salinity gradient in the Chernaya River Estuary and from Velikaya Salma Strait (Kandalaksha Bay, the White Sea) were investigated during August 2004. One hundred and six taxa have been identified by means of phase and interference contrast light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The majority of observed flagellates were bacterivores. The species diversity of the following groups: choanoflagellates, euglenids, kinetoplastids, bicosoecids, chrysomonads, thaumatomonads and flagellates Incertae sedis was the highest. Ancyromonas sigmoides and Petalomonas pusilla were the most common species. The species richness was lowest in the brackish water estuarine part with salinity levels between 5 per thousand and 8 per thousand. The distribution of heterotrophic flagellates conforms to the so-called "rule of critical salinity", possessing, apparently, the same universal character for organisms of different size levels. Heterotrophic flagellate communities in these littoral sites were highly heterogeneous. The curve of "cumulative species number vs. sampling effort" is well fitted by equation S=21.17N(0.50) and unsaturated, which indicates that more intensive investigations of the heterotrophic flagellates in the White Sea should be expected to reveal more species.  相似文献

Since the emergence of the ‘microbial loop’ concept, heterotrophic flagellates have received particular attention as grazers in aquatic ecosystems. These microbes have historically been regarded incorrectly as a homogeneous group of bacterivorous protists in aquatic systems. More recently, environmental rDNA surveys of small heterotrophic flagellates in the pelagic zone of freshwater ecosystems have provided new insights. (i) The dominant phyla found by molecular studies differed significantly from those known from morphological studies with the light microscope, (ii) the retrieved phylotypes generally belong to well-established eukaryotic clades, but there is a very large diversity within these clades and (iii) a substantial part of the retrieved sequences cannot be assigned to bacterivorous but can be assigned instead to parasitic and saprophytic organisms, such as zoosporic true fungi (chytrids), fungus-like organisms (stramenopiles), or virulent alveolate parasites (Perkinsozoa and Amoebophrya sp.). All these microorganisms are able to produce small zoospores to assure dispersal in water during their life-cycles. Based on the existing literature on true fungi and fungus-like organisms, and on the more recently published eukaryotic rDNA environmental studies and morphological observations, we conclude that previously overlooked microbial diversity and related ecological potentials require intensive investigation (i) for an improved understanding of the roles of heterotrophic flagellates in pelagic ecosystems and (ii) to properly integrate the concept of ‘the microbial loop’ into modern pelagic microbial ecology.  相似文献

The Current Status of the Free-Living Heterotrophic Flagellates   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
ABSTRACT. The "flagellates" as a taxon has become obsolete and should be dispensed with. It is obsolete because it is not phylo-genetically coherent. Adopting an ultrastructural perspective, it is argued that the flagellates exemplify an extreme case of paraphyly. Meaningful discussion of the evolution or ecology of flagellates can only emerge after we identify the monophyletic constituents of the flagellates. There are over 40 known types of heterotrophic flagellates and these should form the basis of a new understanding of flagellate diversity.  相似文献
