Abstract

he Kuril Islands are a volcanic archipelago located between Hokkaido and Kamchatka. In this study we investigated earthworm fauna of three of the Southern Kuril Islands, Kunashir, Shikotan, and Yuri, using both morphological analysis and DNA barcoding. Our results highlight the potential of DNA barcoding for studying earthworm fauna: while previous studies reported only six earthworm species and subspecies on the Southern Kurils, we detected 15 genetic clusters. Six of them correspond to European cosmopolites; six, to Asian species, and three, to unidentified species. While no European earthworms were found on Yuri that is uninhabited since WWII, they dominated on larger and inhabited Kunashir and Shikotan, suggesting that they are recent invaders. Of the six Asian species, five had cox1 sequences identical or very closely related to published sequences from the mainland or the Japanese islands and thus are recent invaders.

Abstract

In recent decades, various isotopic methods have been widely used to study trophic relationships in soil ecosystems, because the isotopic signature of heterotrophic organisms reflects the isotopic composition of their preferred food objects. The composition of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes of biological objects is most often used in such environmental research. However, the correct use of the method to reconstruct detrital food webs is often hampered by the individual (within the body) variability of the carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition in the tissues and organs of many groups of soil invertebrates. The goal of this study is to compare the individual variability of isotopic composition of various tissues and organs of common Mediterranean species of woodlice (Armadillo officinalis, Armadillidae, Isopoda and Armadillidium vulgare, Armadillidiidae, Isopoda) and the Mediterranean banded centipede (Chilopoda, Scolopendromorpha, Scolopendra cingulata). Soil invertebrates were collected on the territory of the Utrish State Natural Reserve (Krasnodar krai, Russia). Isotopic analyses were performed for the exoskeleton, muscles, intestinal walls, fat body (only for centipedes), reproductive system, legs, and a whole, homogenized body. The isotope composition of δ13С and δ15N was estimated with a set of equipment consisting of an elemental analyzer and an isotope mass spectrometer. The differences in δ13C between the tissues of woodlice reached 5–6‰ due to the incorporation of inorganic carbonates in the exoskeleton. The tissues of the banded centipede showed no significant difference in their isotopic composition. The trophic position of the large woodlouse species can be best characterized by the isotope analysis of muscle tissues. The use of limbs is possible only after preliminary assessment of the carbonate content in the integumentary tissues of the species. The homogenization of large species is unfavorable, as well as the remains of exoskeleton fragments and food debris in the analyzed sample. For centipedes, one can use not only muscles but also homogenized samples of the whole body, as well as individual parts of the body and organs, excluding the gut contents. The results are applicable for the optimization of soil-zoological studies via isotopic analysis of the tissues of various invertebrates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Soil organisms, including earthworms, are a key component of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little is known about their diversity, their distribution, and the threats affecting them. We compiled a global dataset of sampled earthworm communities from 6928 sites in 57 countries as a basis for predicting patterns in earthworm diversity, abundance, and biomass. We found that local species richness and abundance typically peaked at higher latitudes, displaying patterns opposite to those observed in aboveground organisms. However, high species dissimilarity across tropical locations may cause diversity across the entirety of the tropics to be higher than elsewhere. Climate variables were found to be more important in shaping earthworm communities than soil properties or habitat cover. These findings suggest that climate change may have serious implications for earthworm communities and for the functions they provide., Unión Europea. Horizonte 2020, Unión Europea.
