Rotifers are ubiquitous freshwater animals for which many complexes of cryptic species (i.e. distinct species that are morphologically difficult to distinguish) are described. Keratella cochlearis occurs globally and shows a wide phenotypic diversity indicating the potential presence of a species complex. We sampled lakes of the Trentino-South Tyrol region (Italy) and investigated mitochondrial genetic diversity in K. cochlearis in relation to detailed lorica measurements. We sequenced the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and used the generalised mixed Yule coalescent approach, Poisson tree process model and automatic barcode gap discovery to delimit mitochondrial groups, associated with putative evolutionary significant units (ESUs). Based on 248 sequences, eight putative ESUs were indicated that could only partially be delimited by lorica morphology. Specifically, several morphological characteristics (i.e. spinelets, bended median ridge, and posterior spine) were found in specimens of different putative ESUs, and thus, these characters seem to be of poor discriminatory value. Furthermore, different putative ESUs of K. cochlearis were found in the same lake. We conclude that the high mitochondrial genetic diversity may be linked to tolerance of K. cochlearis to varying environmental conditions. 相似文献

A new genus and species of loricate choanoflagellate, Kakoeca aniarctica Buck & Marchant gen. et sp.n. grown in rough culture from an Antarctic sea ice innoculum is described. This organism has a distinctive lorica morphology consisting of more than 200 costal strips arranged in transverse and longitudinal costae that arc perpendicular to one another in the posterior portion of the lorica. The transverse costae show declination with respect to the lorica axis in the anterior part of the lorica. The cell is suspended in the lorica by a robust protoplast suspensory membrane. This membrane blocks water flow from the posterior of the lorica necessitating water entry through the side of the lorica, an area where the maximum sized apertures in the lorica are found. Terminology (lorica lining and protoplast suspensory) is suggested for the two types of lorica membranes which have been found associated with loricas. 相似文献

Until recently acanthoecid choanoflagellates have been described only from marine and brackish waters. Here I describe a distinct, strictly freshwater acanthoecid species from Samoa based on its morphology, ecology and molecular biological data (partial Small Subunit rDNA). The lorica of the species is characterised by two extensions at the posterior chamber which are used for attachment to the substratum. The posterior chamber is constructed of irregularly arranged costae. The anterior chamber consists of four transverse costal rings and 14–18 longitudinal costae. Despite its sturdy appearance, the lorica was extremely sensitive to water turbulence and movements of the water. The species showed a salinity tolerance of 0.5 practical salinity units with reduced growth rates and a temperature tolerance range of 20–34 °C. According to the morphology, phylogenetic analysis, and autecology of the species it was classified as a member of the genus Stephanoeca. 相似文献

In general, acanthoecid choanoflagellates have been described to occur exclusively in brackish water to marine habitats. Only recently, two studies have proven their existence in inland waters. One of them has shown, that an acanthoecid species from a small lake (near Apia on the island of Upolu, Samoa) is strictly freshwater adapted, not able to tolerate even brackish water. In this study, we present the first euryoecious acanthoecid species, able to live and reproduce in freshwater as well as under hypersaline conditions. The new species, Enibas tolerabilis gen. et sp. nov. was isolated in 2017 from the Salar de Ascotán in the Altiplano at 3750 m a. s. l., Northern Chile. The salinity at the time of sampling was 6 PSU. A series of autecological experiments have revealed a salinity tolerance from freshwater up to 70 PSU. In our phylogenetic analysis, E. tolerabilis gen. et sp. nov. clustered within the family of Acanthoecidae, forming a well-supported sister clade together with two other, environmental choanoflagellate sequences. We erected a new genus, Enibas gen. nov. and described the morphology, molecular biology and autecology for E. tolerabilis gen. et sp. nov. which has a stephanoecid-like lorica morphology. We emphasize that the definition of the genus Stephanoeca, being polyphyletic, is in urgent need of revision as we showed that this morphology is present in both acanthoecid families. 相似文献

Two sites from the East Asian steppe, the Mu Us Sandland as a regional case and the Anguli Nuur catchment as a local one, were chosen to detect roles of vegetation, climate, landform, and human disturbance on pollen dispersal. 1) Vegetation: The semi-arid steppe vegetation is characterized by Artemisia and Chenopodiaceae pollen under various vegetation conditions; however, no evident correlation between pollen percentages and corresponding plant species cover is found. 2) Climate: Samples under different Mean Annual Precipitations (MAPs) clearly distinguish themselves in the Mu Us Sandland, implying MAP-determined surface pollen spectra in regional scale. 3) Landform: Surface pollen assemblages in the azonal psammophytic vegetation and lowland meadow, show insignificant variance from the zonal steppe vegetation. The azonal halophilous vegetation, mostly distributed in the lowland or near the lake shore, leads to higher than average percentages of Chenopodiaceae pollen. Signal of exotic Pinus pollen is also strengthened in the lowland and lake sediment. 4) Human disturbance: The role of human disturbance on surface pollen assemblages is weak, as shown in the Mu Us Sandland. This study also provides theoretical bases for quantitative reconstructions of palaeoclimate and palaeovegetation based on fossil pollen spectra from lake sediments and lowland soils in the semi-arid East Asian steppe. We suggest that calibration against locally dispersed pollen taxa is necessary to reliably reconstruct changes in vegetation pattern through time, for example, a factor of 1.75 for the widely used A/C (Artemisia/Chenopodiaceae) ratio is suggested according to the pollen assemblages in the surface layers of the lake sediment vs. slope soil in Anguli Nuur. However, uncertainties also exist for such calibration considering the dynamics of local-scale azonal vegetation. 相似文献

The lorica of the freshwater nannoplankton flagellate Pseudokephyrion pseudospirale (Chrysophyceae or Chrysomonadida) has been examined by light and electron microscopy and found to possess a microfibrillar structure which becomes thickened and obscured by mineral deposition. Taxonomic implications are discussed. 相似文献

Acanthoeca spectabilis is one of the most common loricate choanoflagellates found in marine biofilms everywhere. However, it is special for two reasons; firstly, it is probably the most distinctive member of the small nudiform clade of loricate choanoflagellates. Secondly, the lorica chamber of Acanthoeca comprises a closely wound left-handed coil of costae that is unique amongst choanoflagellates. Mathematical analysis of the lorica chamber shows that the helical costae undergo two turns. This species, more than any, demonstrates that the helical coiling of costae can only be achieved by a rotational movement generated by the cell during lorica assembly. Comparison of the lorica morphology of Acanthoeca with that of the closely related genus Polyoeca indicates that the helical costae of Acanthoeca are probably homologous with the outer longitudinal costae of Polyoeca. This is unusual because helical costae are usually the innermost layer of costae. However, since there is no 'true' inner layer in the chamber of Acanthoeca the outer layer of costae are adjacent to the cell surface and therefore available for coiling. In contrast to tectiform choanoflagellates, which number more than one hundred species and inhabit a wide variety of microniches, the six known extant nudiform species must either represent a minor evolutionary development or be the remnants of a previously more extensive radiation. 相似文献

Fifty specimens each of bream Abramis brama and roach Rutilus rutilus were examined for metazoan parasite fauna and trichodinid ciliates; 25 specimens of each species were collected from the Kiel Canal, a man-made waterway, and a nearby freshwater lake, the Dieksee. This is the first detailed parasitological examination of A. brama and R. rutilus at these locations: 30 parasite species were found, comprising 4 protozoans, 4 myxozoans, 5 digeneans, 3 monogeneans, 2 cestodes, 6 nematodes, 2 acanthocephalans, 3 crustaceans and 1 hirudinean. The crustacean Caligus lacustris occurred in both habitats while 2 other crustacean species, 2 acanthocephalans and 1 hirudinean were recorded exclusively for the lake habitat. Larval as well as adult stages of the different parasite species were found, indicating that both fish species act as intermediate and final hosts in both habitats. The Kiel Canal (total of 17 parasite species) showed a lower parasite species richness for A. brama and R. rutilus (14 and 10 parasite species, respectively) than the lake (25 parasite species). A. brama had a higher parasite richness (22 species) than R. rutilus (16 species) in the lake habitat. Most parasites collected were of freshwater origin. Consequently, the observed infection pattern of both fish species in the waterway is mainly influenced by the limited salinity tolerance of freshwater parasites, which are negatively affected even by a salinity of 2.3 to 4.5. In the central Kiel Canal, neither fish species was infected with marine parasites of low host specifity. These parasites are either limited by the low salinity at this sampling site (<4.5 to 6.0) or they cannot enter the canal due to the environmental conditions prevailing in this artificial brackish water habitat. Thus, the canal may comprise a natural barrier preventing the distribution of North Sea parasites into the Baltic Sea. However, the brackish water Baltic Sea nematodes Paracuaria adunca and Cosmocephalus obvelatus were found in R. rutilus from the canal, demonstrating the ability of some parasite species to invade and extend their range of distribution through this man-made shipping route from the Baltic to the North Sea. 相似文献

对我国沿海3个含油盆地-珠江口、北部湾和渤海湾盆地下第三系湖相生油岩中的微体化石群进行比较分析。3个盆地中以渤海湾盆地下第三系湖相化石群最为丰富,数量多,分异度高,而且化石群以地方性属种比例高、咸水类型多,存在“海源陆生生物化石”为特征;北部湾盆地,在涠洲组和流沙港组发现较多的介形类化石及个别腹足类和轮藻化石;而珠江口下经三系湖相地层中,微体化石罕见,只在个别层位发现贝壳碎片。据化石群特征,推测渤海湾盆地早第三纪是封闭型的咸水湖泊,而且部分沉积时期,可能是以Cl^-和Na^ 为主的咸水湖泊;珠江口盆地早第三纪是湖水矿化度低、硬度、pH值也低的淡水湖泊;而北部湾盆地早第三纪可能仍属淡水湖泊,但有一定的矿化度。 相似文献

Ten species of lagenophryid peritrichs in three genera are redescribed or described for the first time. Based on this information, the family Lagenophryidae was found to consist of five genera: Lagenophrys, Paralagenophrys, Clistolagenophrys n. g., Setonophrys, and Operculigera. Lagenophryid genera differ in gross structure of the lorica aperture and the peristomial sphincter associated with it. Shape of the lorica and mode of attachment to the host are not generic characteristics in the Lagenophryidae. Differences in shape evolved within each of the three largest lagenophryid genera merely as adaptations for attachment to different parts of a host. Usconophrys, formerly in the Lagenophryidae, and Cyclodonta are assigned to the family Usconophryidae n. fam., which is characterized by possession of a lorica, lack of a closure apparatus operated by the peristomial sphincter, and possession of an operculariform peristome. Lagenophrys, Setonophrys, and Paralagenophrys appear to have evolved separately and convergently from ancestors within Operculigera. Lagenophryid lorica apertures consisting of opposing lips probably evolved as tight seals to prevent water loss when the host is temporarily out of water. The greater diversity and wider distribution of Lagenophrys compared with other lagenophryid genera may result from an advantage in recolonizing hosts conferred by second-type division. 相似文献

A new species of acanthoecid choanoflagellate isolated from brackish waters of the Danshui estuary in North Taiwan has a mineralized lorica that consists of two chambers with a total length of 19-36microm. It shares with Diplotheca costata the features of a posterior lorica chamber formed from broad and flattened costal strips and an anterior chamber with spatula-shaped costal strips. The new species has therefore been placed in the same genus and named Diplotheca elongata. A phylogenetic analysis of partial SSU rDNA sequences from Diplotheca costata and D. elongata supports this taxonomic affiliation. This is a large and distinctive choanoflagellate which has not been reported in any previous study, suggesting that it may be an endemic species of restricted distribution. 相似文献

Nineteen species of parasites were recovered from lake sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens, from four major waterways of Central Canada; the Saskatchewan, Nelson, Winnipeg and Rainy River systems, Twelve of these are new host records. Host specific parasites, Crepidostomum auriculatum , Diclybothrium armatum , Spinitectus acipenseri and Truttaedacnitis clitellarius , forming the core parasite species, were recovered with the highest prevalence (≥70%) and were most widely distributed. Polypodium hydriforme was recovered from only stage IV sturgeon oocytes. With the exception of Pomphorhynchus bulbocolli , prevalence and intensity of endohelminth infections were not correlated with sex or age of host but the distribution of non host-specific parasites among sampling sites was determined by the type and relative abundance of food items consumed. The parasites of lake sturgeon are closely correlated to its diet and the species of parasites recovered are more similar to those of freshwater sturgeon in Eurasia than to other species of Acipenser in North America. The present parasite community of lake sturgeon appears to have been shaped by three major factors; the presence of core parasite species which predates geographic isolation, a benthic freshwater diet which has reshaped the parasite community to one comprising freshwater species and a long association with freshwater habitats which is reflected in the reproductive isolation of the lake sturgeon and lastly, the establishment of a host-specific parasite, Spinitectus acipenseri . 相似文献

Dietary fish must be assessed for benefits and risks to formulate risk management strategies. This article demonstrates that Laurentian Great Lakes (GL) freshwater species are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids using new data from a small sample (n = 7) of Lake Superior siscowet lake trout ( Salvelinus namaycush siscowet) and five other GL fish species’ data. For Lake Superior (LS) siscowets, the saturates, mono-unsaturates, and poly-unsaturates composed 20.1, 40.7, and 39.1% of total lipid weight, respectively. Omega-3 poly-unsaturates (PUFAs) in these fish were more than twice the omega-6 (omega 3/6 ratio = 2.4). The LS lake trout data were combined with earlier LS data collected during the 1980s for eight other species and from five species of Lake Erie fish. All the GL freshwater species were compared with seven other published marine and freshwater fish studies from other global regions. PUFAs were compared based on latitude and marine versus freshwater origin. Differences between marine and freshwater species in omega-3 fatty acid were less at higher latitudes. GL freshwater fish species can be a good source of beneficial fats like marine fish and must be accounted in effective risk communications involving persistent bioaccumulative toxicants in dietary fish. 相似文献

The lorica of Savillea spp. (Choanoflagellida) comprises a two layered arrangement of siliceous costae, the inner layer consists of helical costae and the outer layer longitudinal. In Savillea micropora, the helical costae, in a left-handed conformation, undergo 1.5 turns and extend from a short distance above the base of the lorica to the anterior opening. In S. parva the helical costae undergo two turns from base to anterior opening. Ratios of the numbers of helical to longitudinal costae vary from 1:1 in S. parva to 1:1-1:4 in S. micropora. Cell division in Savillea is of the nudiform type, whereby a cell divides to produce a 'naked' flagellated juvenile that swims away from the parent lorica, settles on to a surface and produces a complete set of costal strips. The first formed strips are those that will form the longitudinal costae, this is followed by the slightly thicker strips which will form the inner helical costae. Lorica assembly occurs as a single continuous process and is mediated by the forward movement of the collar tentacles and a rotational movement by the cell. The longitudinal and helical costae are thereby moved in this one combined movement to their respective positions. The longitudinal costae must rotate freely during assembly whilst the helical costae are held at their front end by the respective longitudinal costae and their rear end on the surface of the cell sheath. The concluding inference, based on lorica construction, that there must be a rotational as well as the observed forward movement during lorica assembly is of seminal importance to understanding the basic pattern of lorica construction and the mechanism of lorica assembly in all choanoflagellates. 相似文献

Lagenophrys eupagurus , a poorly known loricate peritrich ectocommensal on the hermit crab Pagurus longicarpus , has been rediscovered and is redescribed. Lagenophrys lunatus and L. articularis were found to be conspecific with L. eupagurus based on close similarities, especially with regard to structure of the lorica aperture and proportions of the lorica. Lagenophrys callinectes , although resembling L. eupagurus , was determined to be a separate species because of distinct, consistent differences in structure of the lorica aperture and proportions of the lorica. Lagenophrys eupagurus and L. callinectes share some features of the lorica aperture with 3 other species of Lagenophrys , prompting the speculation that the 5 species may constitute a cluster of related species within the genus. Lagenophrys eupagurus utilizes a relatively wide variety of hosts compared to other species of Lagenophrys and appears to subsist mainly on phytoplankton. In some cases, the feeding behavior of the host may assist L. eupagurus in obtaining food. Lagenophrys callinectes appears to be restricted to brachyuran crabs of the genus Callinectes. It appears to be a bacterivore and is probably assisted in obtaining food by the preference of its hosts for estuarine areas that are rich in organic material. 相似文献

Trachelomonas grandis Singh has a mucilaginous, highly porous mineralized lorica (envelope) generally without ornamentation except occasionally for a few short, tapered, anterior or posterior spines. However, as our first cultures of this species aged, rod-shaped structures appeared on the loricas. That these surface projections were bacteria was determined by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The bacteria, 2-6 μm long with rounded apices, were oriented perpendicular to the exterior lorica surface and were attached on one end by apically produced tie-down fibers. The bacteria also secreted fibers over their entire surface, forming a network between them that collapsed during specimen preparation for scanning electron microscopy. The density of the surface bacteria increased with time until the lorica took on a “spiny” appearance superficially similar to lorica extensions of algal origin. In mature algal specimens, an estimated 1200-1800 bacteria per lorica occurred as a monolayer, the maximum number related to the surface area of the lorica available for bacterial colonization. The bacteria, always motionless while attached, showed putative evidence of budding. Fission formed short chains of up to three cells on the lorica. Our cultures maintained this association for 8 years (1972-1979). However, cultures ordered for further study in the past year have failed to develop loricas with more than just a few bacterial cells, and most have none. 相似文献
