| 摘要 | The diversity of marine benthic ciliates is largely known from the intertidal zone. No comparative data are available for the change of ciliate communities from the intertidal to offshore sediments in the Yellow Sea. We investigated the community composition and diversity of benthic ciliates at two intertidal (sandy and silty-sand) stations and eight offshore stations along a latitudinal transect in the Yellow Sea. The ciliate abundance and biomass decreased almost linearly with increasing water depth and distance from the intertidal zone. Diversity indices showed a similar trend. By contrast, the total species richness and taxonomic diversity were much higher in the offshore sediments than in the intertidal area. Among the total of 94 species identified, only 20 species were shared by the two habitats, which were characterized by different dominant ciliate assemblages. Carnivorous ciliates always constituted the primary feeding type in terms of biomass at all offshore stations and the intertidal sandy station, whereas at the intertidal silty-sand station the primary feeding group varied throughout the period of sampling. Multivariate analyses indicates the ciliate communities were significantly different between the two habitats. Bottom water temperature and sediment grain size were the key factors that explained the ciliate community structure. (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier GmbH. |
