摘要
深孔螺是大陆边缘最大的双壳类生物之一,通常与深海带上部的冷水珊瑚群有关。与其他生境形成物种一样,洞草有助于增加次生基质,并为其他固结和移动生物的定植和取食提供机会。尽管大多数产生足跖的双壳类动物被认为在成年阶段是不动的或久坐不动的,但已知一些物种能够移动。在这里,我们研究了在中环境条件下,这种深海物种移动/置换的能力,并将其流动性与其他浅水物种进行了比较。我们首次报道了沙螽几乎连续移动,最大移动速度为6.5 cm day - 1(最大每周移动约28 cm),平均移动速度约为0.3-1.3 cm / d。这一速度是迄今为止报道的附着在足螺上的双壳类(包括Mytilus spp.和Pictada imbricata radiata)的最高值。这些双壳类动物的移动,显然是为了寻找最佳的食物和基质特征,可以取代它们为应对环境和生态条件的变化而创造的栖息地。这些发现为将该物种用于深海栖息地的恢复方案提供了新的机会,并将我们对深海硬底的看法从静态实体转变为动态实体。
Can the Movement of the Deep-Sea Bivalve Acesta excavata Lead to a Dynamic Habitat?
Acesta excavata is one of the largest and ecologically relevant bivalves along continental margins and is often associated with cold-water coral assemblages of the upper bathyal zone. Like other habitat-forming species, A. excavata contributes to increasing the secondary substrata and provides opportunities for the colonization and feeding of other sessile and mobile organisms. Despite most of the bivalves producing byssus being thought to be sessile or sedentary throughout their adult life stages, some species are known to be able to displace. Here we investigated, in mesocosm conditions, the ability of this deep-sea species to move/displace and compared its mobility with that of other shallow-water species. We report here for the first time that A. excavata moves almost continuously, with a maximum speed of 6.5 cm day−1 (maximum weekly displacement of ca 28 cm), with average speeds of approximately 0.3–1.3 cm per day. This speed is the highest value reported so far for byssus-attached bivalves (including Mytilus spp. and Pictada imbricata radiata). The movement of these bivalves, apparently due to the search for optimal feeding and substratum characteristics, can displace the habitat they create in response to changes in environmental and ecological conditions. These findings offer new opportunities for using this species in restoration protocols of deep-sea habitats and change our view of deep-sea hard bottoms from static to dynamic entities.
期刊介绍:
Marine Ecology publishes original contributions on the structure and dynamics of marine benthic and pelagic ecosystems, communities and populations, and on the critical links between ecology and the evolution of marine organisms.
The journal prioritizes contributions elucidating fundamental aspects of species interaction and adaptation to the environment through integration of information from various organizational levels (molecules to ecosystems) and different disciplines (molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, physiology, marine biology, natural history, geography, oceanography, palaeontology and modelling) as viewed from an ecological perspective. The journal also focuses on population genetic processes, evolution of life histories, morphological traits and behaviour, historical ecology and biogeography, macro-ecology and seascape ecology, palaeo-ecological reconstruction, and ecological changes due to introduction of new biota, human pressure or environmental change.
Most applied marine science, including fisheries biology, aquaculture, natural-products chemistry, toxicology, and local pollution studies lie outside the scope of the journal. Papers should address ecological questions that would be of interest to a worldwide readership of ecologists; papers of mostly local interest, including descriptions of flora and fauna, taxonomic descriptions, and range extensions will not be considered.
