| Popis: |
A survey of protostelids in ponds of northeastern Germany showed a high degree of similarity between the species assemblages from submerged aquatic and terrestrial litter. Twelve species were recovered from 115 samples. A statistical analysis of species accumulation curves indicated that 90 % of the total diversity was recovered for both aquatic and terrestrial litter. All of the more common species were observed in both aquatic and terrestrial samples. However, 24 % of all cultures from terrestrial samples were positive for protostelids, compared with only 12 % for aquatic samples. An additional 20 samples collected from the water column did not yield any protostelids. The study indicates that vegetative stages of most protostelids seem to be able to survive and probably multiply on litter submerged in fresh water, but do not live as plankton. Most probably, submerged substrata are sinks for protostelid populations. |
