Gene flow and demographic history of the mangrove crab Neosarmatium meinerti: A case study from the western Indian Ocean

Most marine organisms are characterized by at least one planktonic phase during their life history, potentially allowing interconnection of populations separated by several hundred kilometers. For many years, the idea that marine species are genetically homogenous throughout their range of distribution, due to passive larval transport, has been a paradigm. Nowadays, a growing number of studies underline the existence of boundaries in the marine realm and highlight how larval dispersal is a complex process depending on biotic as well as abiotic factors. Marine fragmented habitats, such as atolls, mangroves and estuaries, are optimal systems for investigating the marine dispersion process under a metapopulation approach, since populations can be geographically defined a priori as opposed to those occupying open marine environments. Within this frame, the present paper investigates the population genetic structure and the demographic history of the mangrove crab Neosarmatium meinerti within the western Indian Ocean by partial sequences of the mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I. A total of 167 specimens were sampled from six mangrove sites distributed along the East African coast, from Kenya to South Africa, also including a mangrove forest located on Mahé Island, Seychelles. A sharp genetic break between the mainland and the Seychelles is recorded, revealing the existence of two historically distinct groups that can be defined as independent evolutionary units. Gene flow along the East African coast appears to be high enough to form a single metapopulation, probably by means of stepping stone populations. Otherwise, this mainland metapopulation is currently under expansion through a gradual moving front from the subtropical toward the equatorial populations.  相似文献

滩涂围垦对东台海岸带景观格局影响研究     

杨晓玲  沈永明 《海洋科学》2012,36(1):94-99

借助遥感和GIS技术,通过景观格局指数的计算,来分析围垦对东台海岸带景观格局的影响。研究发现,1995-2006年间,围垦区海岸带景观破碎化程度减弱,斑块形状的多样性和复杂性程度降低,景观格局态势朝单一化方向发展,景观异质性在整体上有减弱的趋势。然而,在空间上景观格局的变化又有异于整体。主要表现为:农业区破碎化程度减弱,斑块形状简单化,景观格局朝均衡化分布;笆斗区破碎化程度加剧,斑块形状复杂化,优势斑块碱篷被耕地替代;三仓区破碎化程度加剧,斑块形状趋于复杂,由滩地、碱篷为主的景观格局演变成滩地、耕地、碱篷比重势均的格局。总之,围垦区内自然景观的破碎度增强,各斑块类型的形状日渐复杂,景观空间结构趋于复杂化。  相似文献

老红砂是主要分布于我国东南沿海的,呈现以棕红色、红色、橙黄色为主的半胶结中-细砂质沉积物。笔者综述了前人在老红砂的分布与形态、沉积特征、形成机制、发育时代、红化作用、古地理环境等方面的研究成果,认为其为晚更新世沉积物,主体属风成沉积,热带-亚热带湿热季风气候导致的含铁物质分解和氧化是砂体红化的主要原因。根据研究现状,对存在的问题和今后的研究重点做一探讨和展望。  相似文献

Coastal dune rock development and Holocene climate changes in South China     

WANG Wei  WU Zheng 《地理学报》2010,20(3):469-480

Coastal dune rocks in China are eolian sands cemented by calcium carbonate under subaerial conditions, widely distributing on the tropical and subtropical coasts of South China. Particular temperature and precipitation as well as local wave and landform conditions are required for the formation of the dune rocks. A correspondence was found between Holocene environmental changes and coastal dune rock development by comparing the features of the sea-level and climate changes in the Holocene period with the ages, scales, and cementation of the dune rocks on the South China coasts. The findings provide well grounded explanation for some problems unresolved in the past researches on the coastal dune rock in South China: (1) There were no dune rocks with ages older than 6000 years in South China because the dune rocks formed before 6000 a BP were covered by the sea water that rose in the later period; (2) the dune rocks with ages of around 3000 a BP were widely found in South China today because the coastal dunes were cumulated on a large scale at that time as a result of temperature falling after the end of Megathermal; (3) Medieval Warm Period was the main period for the eolian dunes to be cemented into the coastal dune rocks in South China; (4) lack of dune rocks of younger than 1000 a BP was accounted for by that the climate conditions in recent one thousand years were not suitable for the cementation.  相似文献   

深圳海岸壶穴的形态及空间分布特征   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

对广东深圳西冲湾海滩东侧基岩海岸上壶穴的形态特征进行详细测量并对其位置和高程做三角高程测量。结合野外观测结果从经典统计学和空间统计学的角度定量地描述壶穴的形态和空间分布特征及其在基岩海岸发育过程中的地貌作用。研究得出以下结论：西冲海岸壶穴趋向形成于节理、断裂、层面等岩体软弱带,壶穴的形态和分布受这些软弱带控制,但形成于软弱带的具体位置却是随机的;西冲海岸壶穴的形成、扩大和加深实际上是对二级平台产生破坏,但壶穴以现代低潮线为下蚀极限;海岸壶穴是现代海岸动力侵蚀过程的产物,只要动力、岩石条件适合,壶穴随时都可形成;海岸壶穴的形态不仅与流水动力有关,而且与岩石硬度及壶穴发育过程有关;海岸壶穴与河流壶穴一样,可以在形成于各种类型的岩石,起源于各种各样的凹坑;海岸与河流的水动力差异导致了海岸壶穴和河流壶穴形态差异。  相似文献
