Abstract
. Benthic foraminifera are good indicators for monitoring marine environmental pollution and recovery of marine ecosystem. In this study, high-throughput sequencing based on small subunit rDNA and rRNA amplifications was used to assess total and active benthic foraminifera diversity and community composition in intertidal sediments near China Resources Wenzhou Power Plant. The results showed that the closer to the power plant, the lower the diversity and richness of both total and active foraminifera are. The total assemblages had higher values of species diversity and richness than active communities. a total of 33 and 25 foraminifera genera were identified using DNA-based and RNA-based HTS, respectively. The dominant genera included Vellaria , Stainforthia and Miliammina in total foraminiferal communities, and became Ammonia , Miliammina and Notorotalia in active foraminiferal communities at the station slightly away from the power plant; while only one dominant genus, Haplomyxa , was detected close to the power plant.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes original research papers and review articles. Researchers from all countries are invited to publish pure or applied ecological, environmental, biogeographical, zoological, botanical, paleontological, biometrical-biomathematical and quantitative ecological or multidisciplinary agricultural research of international interest on its pages.
The focus is on topics such as:
-Community, ecosystem and global ecology-
Biometrics, theoretical- and quantitative ecology-
Multidisciplinary agricultural and environmental research-
Sustainable and organic agriculture, natural resource management-
Ecological methodology, monitoring and modeling-
Biodiversity and ecosystem research, microbiology, botany and zoology-
Biostatistics and modeling in epidemiology, public health and veterinary-
Earth history, paleontology, extinctions, biogeography, biogeochemistry-
Conservation biology, environmental protection-
Ecological economics, natural capital and ecosystem services-
Climatology, meteorology, climate change, climate-ecology.
The Journal publishes theoretical papers as well as application-oriented contributions and practical case studies. There is no bias with regard to taxon or geographical area. Purely descriptive papers (like only taxonomic lists) will not be accepted for publication.
