| Abstract |
- A central goal of community ecology and biogeography involves understanding the spatial patterns of organisms and their underlying mechanisms. Understanding how the structure of wetland biomes vary throughout geographical or climatic gradients has critical implications for the ecological restoration and management of wetlands. However, the geographical patterns of snails in freshwater wetlands and the relative contributions of climatic and local environment variables remain poorly elucidated.
- We investigated 126 freshwater wetlands across four ecoregions (Da Xing'an Mountains, Songnen Plain, Sanjiang Plain and Changbai Mountains) in Northeast China, and collected 105578 individual snails (Mollusca: Gastropoda) belonging to 17 families, 34 genera and 64 species.
- Overall, snail richness and functional alpha diversity was higher in the wetlands of the Sanjiang Plain than the other three regions. Multivariate analyses results revealed that the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic structures of snail assemblages differed significantly across the four regions. Higher taxonomic dissimilarities, as well as functional and phylogenetic dissimilarities existed between the wetlands of the Songnen Plain and the other three regions.
- The variations in taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic structures of snail assemblages were predominantly explained by climatic variables rather than by local environmental variables. For taxonomic structure, salinity explained the greatest variation among all variables, whereas precipitation seasonality explained the greatest variation for functional and phylogenetic structure.
- Considering extant patterns in assemblage structure and its predictors, aggravated salinization and seasonality of precipitation are expected to act as powerful factors shaping future assemblages. Also, climate-related factors cause changes and spatial distribution of invertebrate assemblages of freshwater wetlands should be considered to formulate differentiated strategy for biodiversity conservation.
