摘要
这个洞穴,la Cueva de Los Sabinos,位于墨西哥圣路易斯州Potosí的Sierra de El Abra,以饲养一群失明的、褪了色的Astyanax mexicanus洞穴鱼而闻名。在此,我们报告在这个洞穴的最终底壳中发现了一个无色素的海绵(Porifera)。由于我们没有收集到任何标本,因此无法确定属或种的名称。到目前为止,海绵的分布似乎仅限于la Cueva de Los Sabinos的一个水池,但进一步仔细探索洞穴的其他水池以及密切相关的洞穴是有必要的。据我们所知,这是世界上关于淡水、白色、适应洞穴的海绵的第四次报告,也是墨西哥和北美的第一次报告。这也是在洛斯萨比诺斯发现的第11种穴居动物。我们的发现证实了这个洞穴生态系统异常丰富的生物多样性。
First record of a freshwater cave sponge (Porifera, unknown gen. and sp.) in a cave inhabited by Astyanax cavefish in the Sierra de El Abra, San Luis Potosí, Mexico
The karstic cave, la Cueva de Los Sabinos, located in the Sierra de El Abra in the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, is mostly known for hosting a population of blind, depigmented Astyanax mexicanus cavefish. Herein, we report the discovery of a non-pigmented sponge (Porifera) in the final sump of this cave. No genus or species name could be attributed because we did not collect any specimen. Up to now, the sponge distribution seems restricted to a single pool in la Cueva de Los Sabinos, but further careful exploration of other pools of the cave as well as closely related cavities is warranted. To our knowledge, this observation constitutes the fourth report of a freshwater, white, cave-adapted sponge in the world and the first for Mexico and North America. It is also the eleventh troglobite species encountered in Los Sabinos. Our discovery confirms the exceptionally rich biodiversity of this cave ecosystem.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
