Tackling the Sulfide Gradient: A Novel Strategy Involving Marine Nematodes and Chemoautotrophic Ectosymbionts 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
Abstract. The Stilbonemutinue (marine free-living nematodes) arc remarkable for cctosymbiotic bacteria, which cover the greatest part of their body in a highly ordered and species specific pattern. Using SEM we describe the main types of symbiotic cover and give evidence for the role of the bacteria in the nutrition of their host on the basis of stable carbon isotope ratios. In experimental systems the worms migrated repeatedly across a sulfide gradient during 12 h when sulfide concentrations were low, but stayed above the sulfide maximum at high concentrations. The migration across the chemocline exposes the symbionts alternately to reduced sulfur compounds and oxygen; this constitutes an alternative strategy to the ventilation/circulation systems in symbiotic macrofauna from sulfidic habitats. 相似文献

This study evaluated the effects of a controlled surface water connectivity scheme on several backwaters in an urban floodplain
within the city limits of Vienna, the Upper Lobau. A phosphorus budget and ecosystem metabolism measurements were used to
assess the reaction of two trophically distinct floodplain backwater sections on changed connectivity conditions. The surface
water connection led to a reduction of the retention times in the backwater system. The water column nutrient concentrations
in the individual backwater sections approached those of the source water body. The significance of these effects, however,
depends on the historical and current trophic situation of the respective water bodies. Generally, the surface water connectivity
introduced particulate phosphorus export up to 30% increase over the influent loading and dissolved phosphorus up to 14% increase
over the influent loading. However, in sections with submersed macrophyte development, which provided enhanced filtering capacities
for particulate matter, sediment and phosphorus accumulation rates were increased. At the same time, water transparency increased
resulting in a positive feedback supporting further macrophyte development. Based on these findings, the evaluation of restoration
measures in urban floodplains needs to consider the spatial and temporal dynamics of nutrients and ecosystem processes such
as gross primary production and community respiration to predict long-term development. 相似文献

The Ecology of a Novel Symbiosis Between a Marine Peritrich Ciliate and Chemoautotrophic Bacteria 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Abstract. A symbiosis between a sessile colonial ciliate, Zoothamnium niveum HEMPRICH & EHRENBERG. 1831. and chemolithoautotrophic bacteria oxidizing reduced sulfur compounds is described. The ciliates and their ectosymbionts occur on mangrove peat in the Caribbean. The feather-shaped ciliate colonies expand and contract, thus exposing the microbes alternately to oxygenated water above and sulfidic water within the boundary layer developed on the surface of the highly sulfidic peat. The symbioticciliates colonize sites with high sulfide flux where the microbial surface mat has been disturbed and grow there until the microbe mat re-establishes itself. 相似文献

Many shallow water, fine-grained sediments are almost acoustically impenetrable to the energy from high resolution, low energy continuous seismic profilers. It has been alleged that this anomalous acoustic behavior is the result of interstitial gas bubbles that produce reverberation within the sediment, but no analyses were made until recently to test this hypothesis. Determinations of the compressibility of sediments from acoustically impenetrable, or turbid, zones and from contiguous zones of good penetration in Chesapeake Bay showed that the acoustically turbid sediments are several orders of magnitude more compressible than acoustically clear sediments of very similar grain size. The increased compressibility is a result of the presence of interstitial gas bubbles. Other acoustically turbid zones are produced by buried shell beds, and do not show an increase in compressibility.Contribution No. 181, Chesapeake Bay Institute, The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md. 21218, U.S.A. 相似文献

The distribution of aquatic Heteroptera (Corixidae and Gerromorpha) in three backwater systems of the Austrian Alluvial Forest National Park differing in connectivity to the Danube River was examined at 44 locations between 1999 and 2003. The most common species were Aquarius paludum and Gerris lacustris (Gerridae).Various statistical analyses were used to define the relationship between species occurrence and 15 environmental variables and to test their influences on species distribution. Canonical correspondence analysis suggested that the main environmental gradients were the transitions from water surface richly covered with branches and Lemna and vegetated shoreline, which most species preferred, to open habitats with little shoreline vegetation, which only a few species preferred.This study shows the potential significance of heteropterans as indicator groups for paleopotamic conditions and aquatic habitats with strong terrestrialisation processes. 相似文献
