مصطلحات موضوعية: epibiosi, ciliophora, suctorea, nematoda, meiofauna, biodiversity

الوصف: Epibiosis is a common phenomenon in marine systems. In marine environments, ciliates are among the most common organisms adopting an epibiotic habitus and nematodes have been frequently reported as their basibionts. In the present study, we report several new records of peritrich and suctorian ciliates-nematode association worldwide: from a deep-sea pockmark field in the NW Madagascar margin (Indian Ocean), from a shallow vent area in the Gulf of Naples (Mediterranean, Tyrrhenian Sea), in a MPA area in the Gulf of Trieste (Mediterranean, Adriatic Sea), from a mangrove system in French Guiana (South America, Atlantic Ocean), and from the Maldivian Archipelago. In addition, three new species of Suctorea from the Secca delle Fumose shallow vent area (Gulf of Naples) were described: Loricophrya susannae n. sp., Thecacineta fumosae n. sp. and Acinetopsis lynni n. sp. In the light of these new records and data from the existing literature, we discuss the suctorian–nematode epibiosis relationship as a lever to biodiversity.

مصطلحات موضوعية: Agriculture, Essential oil, Agriculture target activitie, VOSviewer, Bibliometric analysis

الوصف: In agriculture, more attention has been paid to limit the amount of chemical plant protection products. A potential alternative solution has been found in essential oils (EOs), which appear as promising candidates for their properties (safe, bioactive, biodegradable products) in managing plant diseases in agriculture. Therefore, a co-occurrence analysis was carried out on the available literature on Scopus database, through network maps created by VOSviewer software in order to identify the EOs used in agriculture, agricultural products and their target application. USA and India appeared as the most productive countries in terms of documents and citations followed by Iran and Italy. The co-occurrence analysis revealed eight, more frequently used, EOs in agriculture, in particular, they found more applications as antibacterial and insecticidal agents. On the contrary, any specific EO for nematicidal and acaricidal activity emerged from the analysis. The EOs with the largest applicability were Thymus (mainly T. vulgaris), Citrus, Rosmarinus officinalis, Origanum, Lavandula, Mentha, Ocimum (mainly O. basilicum). Thanks to EOs main features, is possible to invest more in the research, as demonstrated by the increasing trend of documents published in the last decades and the list of high-quality journals interested in this topic. An easier interpretation of the great amount of data enables to identify what has been investigated till nowadays to shape the potential future progression and prospective in this research field.

مصطلحات موضوعية: Biodiversity, Bioindicator, Sediment, Organic enrichment, Coastal lagoon, Mediterranean sea

الوصف: Matching datasets of macrofaunal and meiofaunal assemblages were jointly analyzed for the first time in a coastal lagoon (Cabras Lagoon, Sardinia) in relation to the lagoonal environmental heterogeneity. Within the common faunal list, indicator species/taxa for different environmental conditions were found evenly for both assemblages, with the two faunal components responding distinctly to the putative environmental gradients according to their autecology. The relationship between the number of individuals and species/taxa richness of both assemblages showed an exponential increase at increasing salinity and DO concentrations in water as expected basing on the confinement theory. Along the trophic gradient, the two metrics of both macrofaunal and meiofaunal assemblages showed a similar belt-shaped curve in agreement with theoretical predictions and quantitative field studies, with a peak at intermediate OM values followed by a sharp decrease at OM above 12% at the most confined site. While not a causality measure, our results indicate that these simple benthic-OM relationships applied to both faunal components represent a valuable screening-level indicator for evaluating the likelihood of reduced sediment quality and associated bioeffects in eutrophic lagoons. The present study demonstrates that macrofaunal and meiofaunal assemblages in coastal lagoons, as commonly shown in marine waters, are coherent and distinct entities and that their joint use represents a more comprehensive and robust tool to assess the environmental heterogeneity and quality of these highly variable systems.

مصطلحات موضوعية: meiobentho, antarctica, interstitial water, heavy metal, sediment

الوصف: The Antarctic region is usually considered a pristine area. Nevertheless, regional warming effects and increasing human activities, including the presence of several research stations, are inducing considerable environmental changes that may affect the ecosystem’s functions. Therefore, during the XXXIII Antarctic expedition, we carried out an investigation in Terra Nova bay (Ross Sea), close to the Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) n.161. In particular, we compared the effects of two different types of impacts on the meiobenthic assemblages: anthropogenic impact (AI), associated with the activity of Mario Zucchelli Research Station (MZS), and natural impact (NI) attributable to a large colony of Adélie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) in Adelie Cove. For each impacted site, a respective control site and two sampling depths (20 and 50 m) were selected. Several environmental variables (pH, dissolved oxygen, major and minor ions, heavy metals, organic load, and sediment grain size) were measured and analysed, to allow a comprehensive characterization of the sampling areas. According to the criteria defined by Unites States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA 2009), heavy metal concentrations did not reveal critical conditions. However, both the MZS (AI20) and penguin colony (NI20) sites showed higher heavy metal concentrations, the former due to human activities related to the Italian research station, with the latter caused by the penguins excrements. Meiobenthic richness and abundance values suggested that the worst ecological condition was consistently related to the Adélie penguins colony. Furthermore, the higher contribution of r-strategists corroborates the hypothesis that the chronic impact of the penguin colonies may have stronger effects on the meiobenthos than the human activities at the MZS. Food is not limited in shallow Antarctic bottoms, and microscale differences in primary and secondary production processes can likely explain the greater spatial heterogeneity, highlighted both by the ...

مصطلحات موضوعية: de Man indices, European free-living nematodes, freshwater nematodes, morphology, morphometrics

الوصف: There is no single feature to distinguish free-living soil nematodes from freshwater nematodes, also because all free-living nematodes are essentially aquatic. This notwithstanding, by examining the frequencies of some characters of 1141 European species, differences of qualitative/quantitative characters between soil and freshwater nematodes were found. In particular, aquatic and semiaquatic species are, on average, longer and slimmer than soil species, have a longer tail, greater body weight, smooth cuticle and larger amphids. A new body parameter, length of the pharynx in relation to the length of the whole digestive tract (e), was also taken into consideration.
