Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Temperature dependence of sex ratio and maximal densities of the estuarine, deposit-feeding nematodes Pellioditis marina (Rhabiditidae) and Diplolaimelloides meyli (Monhysteridae) were investigated in vitro. Both species are characteristic for organically enriched habitats. Data for competition culture experiments with both species are integrated with information from respiration measurements at different temperatures, and from observations on the influence of temperature and bacterial density on uptake rates. Sex ratio was significantly influenced by temperature in both species, with the highest relative numbers of males at the highest temperatures. Total numbers attained fluctuated only moderately in the 10 to 20°C interval, but increased and decreased highly significantly at 25°C for D. meyli and P. marina, respectively. Respiration at temperatures from 5°C to 30°C was measured with nematodes from monospecific cultures using a modified Clarck electrode procedure. Respiration was dependent upon temperature in the entire range for P. marina, but not for D. meyli, where only at 25°C a clear respiratory acceleration was observed. Feeding experiments with P. marina showed a dominant influence of bacterial density on uptake rates, with a lower but still significant temperature effect. These data are discussed in relation to the overall life strategies of both species.
