Aquatic macroinvertebrates harbor a broad spectrum of gut endosymbionts, among them trichomycetes species (including fungi and protozoa) are predominantly associated with shredders, collector or scraper hosts, which only rarely may ingest some animal tissues. An exception to this rule may be the protozoan Paramoebidium avitruviense, documented within opportunistic-predator nymphs of the stonefly Siphonoperla torrentium. In the present work, we studied a population of S. torrentium bearing P. avitruviense during 21 months to describe the life cycle and feeding habits of S. torrentium. We tested for associations between host diet, process of infestation and the prevalence of P. avitruviense, and provide information about the temporal dynamics of both the stonefly and the protozoan. Siphonoperla torrentium presented a univoltine life cycle and displayed an omnivorous diet which changed toward an invertebrate-based diet in older nymphs. The endosymbiont P. avitruviense showed fluctuations in relation to the host nymphal size, and prevalence peaks concurred with the highest host growth rate. Binary logistic regressions revealed that the diet influenced the prevalence of the protozoan, at least for some of the gut content fractions. Whereas an increment of the animal fraction decreased the probability of being infested, the consumption of other fractions related to a gatherer–collector activity increased the probabilities of infestation. However, the most decisive factor affecting endosymbiont prevalence was the melanization grade of S. torrentium, whereby the higher the melanization of the nymph (= longer post-ecdysis period), the higher the infestation probability by P. avitruviense. 相似文献

Invasive coral species of the genus Tubastraea have been increasingly recorded in Southwestern Atlantic waters since the 1980s. Their invasion and infestation are mainly related to port and oil exploration activities. For the first time the presence of Tubastraea tagusensis colonies is reported in Espírito Santo State, colonizing a port shore area, and incrusting oil/gas platform structures situated in the southern Abrolhos Bank, which is part of the most important coral reef system of the South Atlantic Ocean. Tubastraea colonies exhibit fast growth and high recruitment rates, and colonized 40% of the analyzed structures in just four years. The projection of port and oil/gas industry growth for the Espírito Santo State (more than 300%) highlights an alert to the dispersal of this alien species to natural areas. 相似文献
