The organic pollution status of three inland water bodies in Sri Lanka was evaluated using benthic oligochaete communities with the environmental characteristics considering temporal variation over one year period. Oligochaete species richness and abundance was consistently higher in the highly eutrophic and organically polluted Lake Beira in comparison with the less polluted water bodies. In a cluster analysis of oligochaete community compositions, the assemblages grouped by the water bodies rather than by months. Principal component analysis revealed that the structure of the oligochate community was mainly influenced by conductivity, nitrate, biochemical oxygen demand levels of water and organic carbon content of the sediment. In the ordination, the polluted Lake Beira separated from the other water bodies along the first axis. The results revealed that there could be a potential for using benthic oligochaetes for bioassessment of inland water bodies in Sri Lanka. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) 相似文献

The content of heavy metals in the bodies of oligochaetes in two small rivers that flow along the central part of a large industrial city has been studied. It has been established that the concentration of mobile (bioavailable) forms of metals in oligochaetes is higher than that in bottom sediments. The similarity of the pattern of accumulation of pollutants in the bodies of oligochaetes and the correlation of heavy metals with the organic matter of river sediments has been revealed in both urban watercourses. 相似文献

Abstract We describe the diversity of aquatic invertebrates colonising water-filled final voids produced by an open-cut coal mine near Moura, central Queensland. Ten disused pits that had been filled with water from <1 year to 22 years prior to the survey and three nearby 'natural' water bodies were sampled in December 1998 and again in March 1999. All invertebrates collected were identified to family with the exception of oligochaetes, cladocerans, ostracods and copepods, which were identified to these coarser taxonomic levels. Sixty-two taxa were recorded from >20 000 individuals. The greatest familial richness was displayed by the Insecta (33 families) followed by the mites (Acari) with 12 families. While natural water bodies held the greatest diversity, several mine pits were almost as rich in families. Classification analyses showed that natural sites tended to cluster together, but the groupings did not clearly exclude pit sites. Mining pits that supported higher diversity tended to be older and had lower salinity (<2000 µS/cm); however, salinity in all water bodies varied with rainfall conditions. We conclude that ponds formed in final voids at this mine have the potential to provide habitat for many invertebrate taxa typical of lentic inland water bodies in central Queensland. 相似文献

Over the last few centuries, several Ponto-Caspian tubificid oligochaetes have gradually dispersed from the Black Sea – Caspian Sea region to the north-west and west over Europe. The present world distribution comprising also the Great Lakes of North America clearly demonstrates that anthropochorous vectors of dispersal are involved. Passive transportation in the ballast water of ships has radically changed the possibilities of dispersal for many invertebrate species and has even made dispersal between continents possible. The construction of navigable canals has furthermore facilitated the crossing of watersheds and continents. Other likely vectors of longway dispersal for oligochaetes, as well as for other small-size aquatic invertebrates, are birds and mammals. The dispersal of the Potamothrixspecies is likely to have taken place in successive waves (three) with front-lines still on the move from the east to the west over the Baltic States and Scandinavia. The rheophilous species Potamothrix moldaviensishas presently reached – apart from the large rivers of Russia and many Central-European water bodies – also the Baltic States and south-eastern Sweden. Trajectories of dispersal demonstrate routes across the Baltic Sea – via the ballast water of ships. In the largest rivers of the Eastern Baltic Region (Neva, Daugava, Nemunas), downstream dispersal is the most likely way of transportation. P. moldaviensis together with P. heuscheri(second wave) and P. vejdovskyi(third wave) are presently forming front-lines running obliquely from the north-east to the south-west over south Sweden. In mesotrophic-eutrophic basins of eastern Lake Mälaren, the abundance as well as the species diversity of oligochaetes is particularly high wherever Ponto-Caspian Potamothrixspecies – often several species together – are involved. 相似文献

To assess the effects of increased nutrient availability on aquatic oligochaetes in raised bogs, species assemblages were
compared within and between fairly pristine raised bogs in Estonia and raised bog remnants in The Netherlands. Within the
pristine bog landscape a distinct pattern in the species assemblage is present. In the most nutrient-poor water bodies, in
the ombrotrophic raised bog, only the fragmenting, almost never mature, acid-tolerant species Cognettia sphagnetorum is present. In pristine Estonian raised bogs Nais variabilis, Lumbriculus variegatus and sexually reproducing species are limited to more minerotrophic water bodies, which have a higher decomposition rate of
dead organic matter and, consequently, higher nutrient availability. With ten species the lagg zone is the most species-rich
part of a pristine raised bog landscape. Most of these lagg zone species are not present in Dutch bog remnants as this part
of the bog landscape has long been cultivated. Nais variabilis occurs in the Dutch bog remnants much more frequently than in Estonian bogs, whereas the frequency of C. sphagnetorum and L. variegatus is similar between both countries. These three species respond differently to the increased nutrient availability in The
Netherlands, which could be linked to differences in their diets. In contrast to pristine bog pools, N. variabilis in Dutch raised bog remnants is present in water bodies not influenced by minerotrophic water. In Dutch raised bog remnants
the occurrence of oligochaetes is not limited anymore by nutrient availability, due to the higher atmospheric nitrogen and
sulphur loads in The Netherlands. Overall, it can be concluded that the degradation of Dutch raised bogs has resulted in the
loss of both the nutrient-poor parts of the landscape and the special lagg conditions. 相似文献

Aquatic oligochaetes are abundant in polluted areas and are, therefore, commonly used as bioindicators to study organic pollution
in rivers and streams. In order to develop a species-level oligochaete biotic index to reflect the River Pollution Index (RPI)
in the Taichung Water Basin in Taiwan, we conducted a systematic sampling scheme to collect aquatic oligochaetes from the
sediment samples of watercourses in the Taichung Water Basin, Taiwan. We evaluated the relationships between aquatic oligochaetes
and the sewage pollution using statistical methods. The distribution of aquatic oligochaetes in relation to environmental
variables, such as water quality and sediment characteristics of the regional urban contaminated streams was expressed by
Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). We identified 17 species of aquatic oligochaetes (Annelida, Clitellata) including
3 species of Tubificidae, 13 species of Naididae, and 1 species of Enchytraeidae from the watercourses of an urban region
in the Taichung Water Basin in Taiwan, during the summer and winter of 2005 and 2006. A positive correlation was found between
the total abundance of aquatic oligochaetes and the RPI (r = 0.58, P < 0.05). However, only population density of the most abundant tubificid, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, increased with increasing RPI values and a significantly negative correlation was found between the population density of
the naidid, Nais
communis, and RPI values. The results of CCA indicated that certain naidids, such as Aulophorus furcatus and Allonais
gwaliorensis also tolerated extremely polluted environments in upper stream or stony habitats, implying that tubificids should not be
the sole representation of simple biotic indices but should also include pollution-tolerant naidids. We found that the community
structure of aquatic oligochaetes was influenced by short-term variations in microhabitat rather than according to seasonal
factors in our study region. The results proved that aquatic oligochaetes were sensitive enough to provide a supplement for
the regional urban pollution assessment applications for biotic indicators at the species-level. 相似文献

Beyond Masses and Blooms: The Indicative Value of Oligochaetes 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0

The European Water Framework Directive (WFD) defines a framework for assessing water bodies in Europe in the future. The conditions
in the Directive impose a strong demand for “new” assessment systems. The AQEM project developed an assessment system for
European streams using macroinvertebrates. Almost 900 samples were taken in about 400 streams covering 29 stream types distributed
over eight countries. The role of the Oligochaeta within this European database was analysed. Almost half a million specimens
of oligochaetes were collected in 772 samples. Eight families, 41 genera and 69 species were recorded, although identification
emphasised the families Tubificidae and Naididae. Three countries identified oligochaetes to species level, most others restricted
their identifications to easy identifiable taxa. Numbers of specimens, species, genera and families differed strongly between
the countries due to method, although standardised, and taxonomic knowledge. About 50% of all collected oligochaete taxa had
assigned biological and ecological indicator values for metric calculation in the AQEM assessment system. A further refinement
of this indication list as well as increased coverage of oligochaete taxa was advised. Weighted averaging was used to evaluate
the relation between oligochaete distribution and ecological quality class. It was concluded that when higher taxonomic levels
are used in assessment, the quality evaluation results become biased. Furthermore, oligochaetes can tell us much more about
the ecological status of streams than is commonly assumed. Differences in ecological optima among Limnodrilus udekemianus, Ilyodrilus templetoni, Aulodrilus pluriseta, Nais communis, and Spirosperma ferox are shown. 相似文献

Data from 24 water management districts and the rivers Rhine and Meuse in the Netherlands were used to study geographical distribution, relative occurrence, and environmental requirements of 76 aquatic oligochaetes (families Tubificidae, Naididae, and Lumbriculidae) (Annelida, Clitellata). Approximately 50% of the 76 species that occur in the Netherlands are uncommon, rare, or very rare. The other half of the species are common, very common or abundant. The abundant species are: Stylaria lacustris, Ophidonais serpentina, Limnodrilus claparedeianus, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, and Lumbriculus variegatus. With the exception of several brackish water species (those restricted in distribution to water management districts close to the sea that are influenced by salt water influx) and specific running water species (restricted mainly to the eastern part of the Netherlands), most of the species occurred throughout the whole Netherlands. The species distribution was related to environmental variables using ordination. In general, species distribution was correlated with either large waters with high chloride and phosphorus concentrations and a high hydrogen ion concentration (as pH), or with small forested (running) waters in more natural (undeveloped) areas that occasionally become intermittent. Vegetation cover was positively correlated with several swimming species in the family Naididae. While the distribution of aquatic oligochaetes in some families occurring in the Netherlands is known to some extent, the occurrence and distribution of rare and small taxa, particularly those that are difficult to identify taxonomically, is virtually unknown. Some of the rare oligochaete taxa, especially those associated with unique habitats, have received only cursory attention. Also in the data studied, the observations of the more rare species were too few to draw conclusions. To improve our knowledge of oligochaete distribution in the Netherlands, additional research should focus on rare species associated with special habitats and water types (natural areas) and those taxa in poorly known families. The standardisation of sampling and processing methodologies, particularly the use of nets and sieves with fine-meshed screening, will ensure the collection of the smaller species of oligochaetes. Subsequently, oligochaetes should be identified to species level by experienced taxonomists trained in oligochaete identification. Finally, many aquatic oligochaete species are identifiable only when sexually mature and therefore the time of year in which samples are collected is critical to the accurate representation of true oligochaete diversity at any given site. For analysing the relation between species and environmental variables the best option is to use composite data from spring and autumn. 相似文献

The depth distribution of Oligochaeta in an Irish quaking marsh 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
Brenda Healy 《Hydrobiologia》1987,155(1):235-247
The depth distribution of oligochaetes was studied in a quaking marsh at Tinure, Co. Louth, Ireland. The dominant plants were grasses which formed a fibrous mat floating on semi-liquid peat. The water level remained near the surface except for a few weeks in winter and early spring when up to 50% surface cover of water was seen. Depth profiles of pH and redox potential showed seasonal variations with the anaerobic layer approaching the surface in summer. Oligochaetes were the most important group of invertebrates and were represented by 7 species of Naididae, 7 Tubificidae, 2 Lumbriculidae, 13 Enchytraeidae and 1 Lumbricidae. Lumbricids and most species of Enchytraeidae were concentrated at the surface but the enchytraeids Marionina riparia, Cernosvitoviella spp. and Cognettia glandulosa were frequent in the anaerobic layer. Aquatic oligochaetes were most numerous below the surface. Tubificids penetrated further than other groups and reached a peak at 4–6 cm. The effects of lowering the water level were studied in pot cultures where water was maintained at 4 different levels. Enchytraeids always remained near the surface, while aquatic oligochaetes concentrated nearer the water level. It is concluded that enchytraeids are prevented from colonizing most freshwater habitats by their inability to tolerate extended periods of anoxia. 相似文献

Effects of domestic and industrial pollution on distribution and abundance of aquatic oligochaetes in the Forth estuary 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The Forth estuary is a major estuary on the east coast of Scotland; it receives effluent from domestic and industrial (petro-chemical
and distilling) sources. Following a study on the distribution of the macrofauna of the intertidal areas in relation to pollution
(McLusky et al., 1978), this paper is concerned with the distribution and abundance of aquatic oligochaetes and the small
polychaeteManayunkia aestuarina in relation to estuarine salinity, organic enrichment, and industrial effluent. In the most polluted parts of the estuary
oligochaetes are the sole inhabitants of the mudflats; in other less polluted flats they are very abundant. In the least polluted
parts the numbers of oligochaetes diminish as the numbers and diversity of macrofauna increase. Estimates of the production
of oligochaetes are given. 相似文献

Abstract. The ultrastructure of the thin, non-cellular cuticle is described for 6 marine oligochaetes, representing 3 of the subfamilies (Phallodrilinae, Limnodriloidinae, and Rhyacodrilinae) of the Tubificidae. The main components of the cuticle in these 6 species, as in most other oligochaetes examined, are: (1) a fiber zone closest to the epidermis, consisting of collagen fibers embedded in a matrix, (2) an epicuticle, which is a continuation of the matrix outside the fiber zone, and (3) epicuticular projections, which are membrane-bound bodies covering the outer surface of the epicuticle. The projections are probably formed by the microvilli that penetrate the cuticle from the epidermal cells below, but this was confirmed only in the studied limnodriloidines. Three of the species examined, Duridrilus turdus, Olavius vacuus , and Heterodrilus paucifascis , lack microvilli. The morphology of the components in the cuticle differs between the studied species. The collagen fibers may form an "orthogonal grid" (i.e., layers of parallel fibers perpendicular to the layers immediately above and below), or they may form parallel layers, or be irregularly scattered. The number of dense layers in the epicuticle, as well as the shape and internal structure of the epicuticular projections, also vary. All these characters might be useful in future phylogenetic analyses to achieve better hypotheses of relationships within oligochaetes as well as to other groups. 相似文献

Epizootiology of Eustrongylides ignotus in Florida: distribution,density, and natural infections in intermediate hosts 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A total of 63,451 fish, representing 39 species, was collected from 176 foraging sites used by ciconiiform wading birds in peninsular Florida (USA) and examined for larvae of Eustrongylides ignotus. Infected fish were identified from 30 (17%) of the sites, all of which had been altered by human disturbance such as removal of sediment to construct ditches and dikes, improve water flow, or increase storage capacity and had a history of receiving anthropogenic nutrients such as sewage effluent, urban runoff, or agricultural runoff. The mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki) and several species of sunfish (Centrarchidae) were the most important intermediate hosts. Infected fish were not collected at any of the unaltered sites. A total of 10,508 oligochaetes (representing 36 species) was identified from 22 sites that had fish infected with E. ignotus and 36 sites where no infected fish were collected. None of the oligochaetes was infected with larvae of E. ignotus. Immature tubificids without hair setae (probably Limnodrilus sp.), Dero digitata, and L. hoffmeisteri were the most abundant oligochaetes at sites where infected fish occurred, making up 78% of the total collected. Compared to unaltered sites, altered sites were characterized by higher mean densities of fish and oligochaetes; surface waters with decreased dissolved oxygen and increased total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a; sediments with higher soil oxygen demand and total phosphorus; larger grain sizes; and higher percentage emergent vegetation and grasses. 相似文献

The role of oligochaetes in the management of waters 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Piet F. M. Verdonschot 《Hydrobiologia》1989,180(1):213-227
To better understand the role of an aquatic oligochaete in the management of water quality, it was determined if oligochaetes were representative of water quality, if indices based on oligochaetes were widely applicable to access water quality, and if oligochaete assemblages were related to environmental factors other than organic pollution. It was found that if only one monitoring sample a year was taken in December, about 73% of the more common species were collected. Seasonality did not seem to affect the taxa collected except for forms in low presence, e.g., Nais. Several indices we used were not applicable to regulated streams. Oligochaete ordination procedures revealed only a partial picture of the environmental conditions of regulated streams. 相似文献

Aquatic oligochaetes are well recognized bioindicators of quality of sediments and water in watercourses and lakes. However, the difficult taxonomic determination based on morphological features compromises their more common use in eco-diagnostic analyses. To overcome this limitation, we investigated molecular barcodes as identification tool for broad range of taxa of aquatic oligochaetes. We report 185 COI and 52 ITS2 rDNA sequences for specimens collected in Switzerland and belonging to the families Naididae, Lumbriculidae, Enchytraeidae and Lumbricidae. Phylogenetic analyses allowed distinguishing 41 lineages separated by more than 10 % divergence in COI sequences. The lineage distinction was confirmed by Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD) method and by ITS2 data. Our results showed that morphological identification underestimates the oligochaete diversity. Only 26 of the lineages could be assigned to morphospecies, of which seven were sequenced for the first time. Several cryptic species were detected within common morphospecies. Many juvenile specimens that could not be assigned morphologically have found their home after genetic analysis. Our study showed that COI barcodes performed very well as species identifiers in aquatic oligochaetes. Their easy amplification and good taxonomic resolution might help promoting aquatic oligochaetes as bioindicators for next generation environmental DNA biomonitoring of aquatic ecosystems. 相似文献

All the main trophic groups of invertebrates are presented in the compositions of dominant assemblages of zooperiphyton in the studied waterbodies and watercourses. The strong pollution of water by suspended solids of anthropogenic origin in the water of the upper Volga reservoirs leads to the suppression of typically sessile filter-feeding invertebrates (sponges, bryozoans, and Dreissena) able to form the highest biomass of zooperiphyton using natural food items. The conditions of the disturbed structure of food resources are favorable for the development of detritivores-gatherers. In small rivers receiving industrial wastewaters, excessive amounts of food in the water column and in the form of sediments on the substrates suppresses invertebrates-biofowlers and facilitates the expansion of the benthic larvae of chironomids of g. Chironomus (combining the filtration and gathering of food particles on the substrates) to the vacant spatial niches. At the same time, the role of nematodes and oligochaetes with prevailing detritophages increases. In the acidified lakes of the Darwinsky National Reserve, the decrease in the total species diversity of zooperiphyton is accompanied by decreases in the role of filter-feeding invertebrates. The chironomid larvae and oligochaetes prevailed in the poor zoocenoses. The roles of predatory caddisfly larvae, black gnats, and nematodes increased. The labile structural characteristics of zooperiphyton with the conservation of the historically formed methods of foraging are the main modern way that biofouling communities adapt to changes in the quality and quantity of food resources upon modern anthropogenic pollution of the aquatic environment. 相似文献

The ice worm is adapted for life at O°C. A survey of the ultrastructure of the cuticle, epidermal epithelium and basement membrane does not reveal any features which self-evidently correlate with such metabolic specialization; instead, these tissues are much like those of the earthworm and some freshwater oligochaetes. The cuticular fibers are unstriated. Epithelial cells aresuggested as the source of cuticular material. Epithelial microvilli penetrate the cuticle. There is an array of membrane bound bodies on the cuticle surface. The basement membrane fibers are transversely striated and are oriented in crossed lamellae. The junctional complex is represented by azonula adhaerens and septate desmosome. 相似文献

Egg development of Eustrongylides tubifex (Nitzsch in Rudolphi, 1819) J?gerski?ld, 1909, was studied at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 C. Eggs developed at 20, 25, and 30 C. Development ceased at 0, 5, 10, and 15 C but resumed when temperatures were raised. Eggs contained first-stage larvae in 23-26 days at 25 C. Seven species of aquatic oligochaetes were exposed experimentally to eggs of E. tubifex containing first-stage larvae. Third-stage larvae of E. tubifex developed in the aquatic oligochaetes, Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri Claparède, 1862, and Tubifex tubifex (Müller, 1774). Larvae developed in the ventral blood vessel of oligochaetes. Second-stage larvae were seen first in oligochaetes 30 days postinfection and third-stage larvae were seen 70-109 days postinfection at 25 C. Third-stage larvae in oligochaetes retained the cuticle of the first and second molt. 相似文献

Turbellarians, which typically feed on bacteria, algae, rotifers, oligochaetes, dipteran larvae, microcrustaceans, and other organisms, are abundant in diverse types of wetlands. Despite their importance, abundance, and species richness in freshwater environments, turbellarians are seldom considered in studies on biodiversity. We analyzed the structure of turbellarian communities in shore areas of three categories of permanent wetlands classified according to their perimeter as small, intermediate, and large during an annual cycle. In total, 1847 turbellarians were collected representing 42 species and 15 genera, from the orders Catenulida, Macrostomida, Lecithoepitheliata, Rhabdocoela, and Tricladida. Sixteen species were common to the three categories of wetlands, whereas nineteen species were unique to a particular category. Species composition varied among wetlands of different sizes; small, intermediate, and large wetlands had different dominant species. We found seasonal differences in community composition over the year, but no significant differences in mean values of observed species richness among wetlands with different sizes and among seasonal samples. The estimated species richness was, however, higher in the small wetlands, followed by the large and intermediate wetlands. In the summer, abundance was significantly lower in the small water bodies than in the intermediate and large bodies of water. Our results reinforce the need for conservation of wetlands of different sizes. 相似文献
