Abstract

Abstract Species distributions may be determined by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors. The model ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila exhibits an unusual distribution limited to the eastern United States. In this study, we assess the roles of species interactions and habitat requirements in driving this restricted distribution by studying laboratory populations of T. thermophila and Tetrahymena gruchyi. We find that priority effects and habitat requirements are likely to be important factors driving the distribution of Tetrahymena species.

优先级在确定嗜热四膜虫有限分布中的作用

物种分布可能由多种生物和非生物因素决定。模式纤毛虫嗜热四膜虫表现出一种不寻常的分布，仅限于美国东部。本研究通过对嗜热T. (T. thermophila)和gruchyi四膜虫(Tetrahymena gruchyi)实验室种群的研究，评估了物种相互作用和栖息地需求在驱动这种限制性分布中的作用。我们发现优先效应和生境要求可能是驱动四膜虫分布的重要因素。

期刊介绍： The Southwestern Naturalist (a publication of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists since 1953) is an international journal (published quarterly) that reports original and significant research in any field of natural history. This journal promotes the study of plants and animals (living and fossil) in the multinational region that includes the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Appropriate submission of manuscripts may come from studies conducted in the countries of focus or in regions outside this area that report significant findings relating to biota occurring in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America. Publication is in English, and manuscripts may be feature articles or notes. Feature articles communicate results of completed scientific investigations, while notes are reserved for short communications (e.g., behavioral observations, range extensions, and other important findings that do not in themselves constitute a comprehensive study). All manuscripts (feature articles and notes) require an abstract in both English and Spanish.
