ABSTRACTThe reality of spatial clinal variation in morphological traits of freshwater pulmonate snails (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) has repeatedly been questioned or totally discounted. There is a lack of sound statistical evidence in the articles hitherto published on this subject supporting these claims. Here, by means of different analytical methods (analysis of spatial autocorrelation, linear regression analysis, canonical correlation analysis and others), we demonstrate that shell variation in the dwarf pond snail, Galba truncatula, is patterned in space throughout the northern and central Palearctic, with latitudinally-oriented clines in body size and in some shell proportions. Shell size in G. truncatula decreases with latitude and temperature, representing a special case of converse Bergmann cline. However, the temperature itself is hardly the main driver of shell size variation. It is argued that the shorter growing seasons at high latitudes may represent a better explanation for the observed trend. Shell proportions in the dwarf pond snails vary weakly at the macrogeographic scale, being spatially patterned at lower (mesogeographic) scales around 1200–1500?km. In general, spatial variation in G. truncatula shell size is decoupled from variation in shell shape, demonstrating clear scale-dependence similar to that found in different species of terrestrial (non-aquatic) pulmonate snails. 相似文献

In this study, we re‐examine two species of freshwater gastropods of the genus Radix Montfort, 1810 (family Lymnaeidae), endemic to the geothermal springs in the Lake Baikal region in the southern part of eastern Siberia — Lymnaea (Radix) hakusyensis Kruglov et Starobogatov, 1989, and Lymnaea (Radix) thermobaicalica Kruglov et Starobogatov, 1989. The alleged species status of these endemics has been re‐assessed by means of an integrative approach combining molecular genetic taxonomy techniques with the traditional methods based on shell and soft body morphology. Phylogenetic reconstructions were made using both mitochondrial (COI) and nuclear (ITS2) DNA markers. We used topotypic samples of both species and specimens sampled from other sites around Lake Baikal. The results demonstrate that the two endemic species are only synonyms of a widespread Holarctic species, Radix auricularia (Linnaeus, 1758), and represent its intraspecific morph (ecotype) adapted to living in thermal springs. A new synonymy is proposed: Thermoradix Kruglov et Starobogatov, 1989 = Radix Montfort, 1810 (syn. n.). 相似文献

We studied the co-occurrence of flea species in infracommunities of 16 rodents from four regions (South Africa, Tanzania,
central Europe and western Siberia) using null models, and predicted that flea co-occurrences will be expressed more strongly
in male than in female hosts. We examined patterns of co-occurrence (measured as the C score) in infracommunities of fleas that are parasitic on male and female hosts by comparing co-occurrence frequencies with
those expected by chance. When a significant degree of nonrandomness in flea co-occurrences was detected, it indicated aggregative
infracommunity structure. In Tanzanian rodents, no significant flea co-occurrences were detected in either male or female
hosts. In a South African rodent, significant flea co-occurrences were not detected in males, but were found in females in
some localities. In Palaearctic rodents, significant nonrandomness was detected either equally for males and females or more
frequently in males than in females. Meta-analyses demonstrated that the frequency of the detection of nonrandomness in flea
co-occurrences was significantly higher in male than in female hosts. The values of the standardized effect size (SES) for
the C score differed significantly among host species, but not between host genders. When the Palaearctic hosts were analyzed separately,
the effects of both host gender and species appeared to be significant, with the SES values for the C score in males being smaller than those in females. The strength of the gender difference in the manifestation of flea community
structure increased with increasing gender difference in flea species richness, and with decreasing gender difference in flea
prevalence for the Palaearctic hosts. We conclude that male hosts are the main drivers of flea infracommunity structure. However,
the manifestation of gender bias in flea community structure varies among host species, and is likely determined by the pattern
of species-specific spatial behavior. 相似文献

Within a community, the abundance of any given species depends in large part on a network of direct and indirect, positive
and negative interactions with other species, including shared enemies. In communities where experimental manipulations are
often impossible (e.g., parasite communities), census data can be used to evaluate the strength or frequency of positive and
negative associations among species. In ectoparasite communities, competitive associations can arise because of limited space
or food, but facilitative associations can also exist if one species suppresses host immune defenses. In addition, positive
associations among parasites could arise merely due to shared preferences for the same host, without any interaction going
on. We used census data from 28 regional surveys of gamasid mites parasitic on small mammals throughout the Palaearctic, to
assess how the abundance of individual mite species is influenced by the abundance and diversity of other mite species on
the same host. After controlling for several confounding variables, the abundance of individual mite species was generally
positively correlated with the combined abundances of all other mite species in the community. This trend was confirmed by
meta-analysis of the results obtained for separate mite species. In contrast, there were generally no consistent relationships
between the abundance of individual mite species and either the species richness or taxonomic diversity of the community in
which they occur. These patterns were independent of mite feeding mode. Our results indicate either that synergistic facilitative
interactions among mites increase the host’s susceptibility to further attacks (e.g., via immunosuppression) and lead to different
species all having increased abundance on the same host, or that certain characteristics make some host species preferred
habitats for many parasite species.

We studied patterns of species co-occurrence in communities of ectoparasitic arthropods (ixodid ticks, mesostigmate mites and fleas) harboured by rodent hosts from South Africa ( Rhabdomys pumilio ), South America ( Scapteromys aquaticus and Oxymycterus rufus ) and west Siberia ( Apodemus agrarius , Microtus gregalis , Microtus oeconomus and Myodes rutilus ) using null models. We compared frequencies of co-occurrences of parasite species or higher taxa across host individuals with those expected by chance. When non-randomness of parasite co-occurrences was detected, positive but not negative co-occurrences of parasite species or higher taxa prevailed (except for a single sample of mesostigmate mites from O. rufus ). Frequency of detection of non-randomness of parasite co-occurrences differed among parasite taxa, being higher in fleas and lower in mites and ticks. This frequency differed also among host species independent of parasite taxon, being highest in Microtus species and lowest in O. rufus and S. aquaticus . We concluded that the pattern of species co-occurrence in ectoparasite communities on rodent hosts is predominantly positive, depends on life history of parasites and may be affected to a great extent by life history of a host. 相似文献

The taxonomic position of three nominal species of lymnaeid snails placed by Kruglov & Starobogatov (1993) into the subgenus Lymnaea (Pacifimyxas) Kruglov & Starobogatov, 1985, has been re‐assessed based on a molecular genetic study of topotypic specimens and an examination of the type series and other materials available. It has been shown that the two species, Lymnaea (Pacifimyxas) magadanensis Kruglov & Starobogatov, 1985 and Lymnaea (Pacifimyxas) streletzkajae Kruglov & Starobogatov, 1985, are identical with the species Kamtschaticana kamtschatica (Middendorff, 1850) and must be treated as its junior synonyms. Hence, Pacifimyxas becomes a junior synonym of Kamtschaticana Kruglov & Starobogatov, 1984. The taxonomic identity of the third species of Pacifimyxas, Lymnaea (Pacifimyxas) perpolita, remains obscure, and this species is considered here as taxon inquirendum. Two other nominal species, Lymnaea aberrans (Westerlund, 1897) and Lymnaea middendorffi (W. Dybowski, 1904), have been synonymized with K. kamtschatica based on morphological and geographical evidence. The lectotype of Limnaea peregra var. middendorffi is designated. The actual level of species richness in the Beringian freshwater malacofauna may be 20–25% lower than it was determined on the basis of the traditional system. Some implications of this outcome for the biogeography of the Beringian freshwater fauna are discussed. 相似文献

We studied body size ratio in gamasid mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) parasitic on Palearctic small mammals at 3 hierarchical scales, namely infracommunities (an assemblage of mites harboured by an individual host), component communities (an assemblage of mites harboured by a host population), and compound communities (an assemblage of mites harboured by a host community). We used null models and asked a) whether body size distributions in these communities demonstrate non‐random patterns; b) whether these patterns indicate segregation or aggregation of body sizes of coexisting species; and c) whether patterns of body size distribution are scale‐dependent, that is, differ among infracommunities, component communities, and compound communities. In most mite assemblages, the observed pattern of body size distribution did not differ from that expected by chance. However, meta‐analyses demonstrated that component and compound communities of gamasid mites consistently demonstrated a tendency to reduced body size overlap, while we did not find any clear trend in mite body size distribution across infracommunities. We discuss reasons for scale‐dependence of body size distribution pattern in parasite communities and propose ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that allowed the reduced body size overlap in component and compound communities of ectoparasites to arise. 相似文献

Similarity between species plays a key role in the processes governing community assembly. The co‐occurrence of highly similar species may be unlikely if their similar needs lead to intense competition (limiting similarity). On the other hand, persistence in a particular habitat may require certain traits, such that communities end up consisting of species sharing the same traits (environmental filtering). Relatively little information exists on the relative importance of these processes in structuring parasite communities. Assuming that phylogenetic relatedness reflects ecological similarity, we tested whether the co‐occurrence of pairs of flea species (Siphonaptera) on the same host individuals was explained by the phylogenetic distance between them, among 40 different samples of mammalian hosts (rodents and shrews) from different species, areas or seasons. Our results indicate that frequency of co‐occurrence between flea species increased with decreasing phylogenetic distance between them in 37 out of 40 community samples, with 14 of these correlations being statistically significant. A meta‐analysis across all samples confirmed the overall trend for closely related species to co‐occur more frequently on the same individual hosts than expected by chance, independently of the identity of the host species or of environmental conditions. These findings suggest that competition between closely related, and therefore presumably ecologically similar, species is not important in shaping flea communities. Instead, if only fleas with certain behavioural, ecological and physiological properties can encounter and exploit a given host, and if phylogenetic relationships determine trait similarity among flea species, then a process akin to environmental filtering, or host filtering, could favour the co‐occurrence of related species on the same host. 相似文献
