Benthic macroinvertebrates associated with Thalassia testudinum (HYDROCHARITACEAE), in northeastern Venezuela

Abstract: RESUMENAntecedentes. Las praderas de Thalassia testudinum constituyen un ecosistema productivo y biodiverso, especialmente en la región del Caribe, donde los estudios se han enfocado principalmente en evaluar organismos de interés comercial. Objetivo. Identificar la fauna macrobentónica asociada a praderas de T. testudinum y describir sus cambios espacio-temporales en relación a los parámetros físico-biológicos y características granulométricas del sedimento. Materiales y métodos. Los muestreos se efectuaron b… Show more

“…A similar yet less marked tolerance for high salinity (to 50 PSU) caused by exposure to high salinity values, can be deduced for the most frequently encountered mollusc species in the Río Lagartos coastal lagoon, the gastropod Prunum apicinum . This species was previously found inhabiting environments with salinity up to 40, with a preferred range of about 15–25 (Cain, 1972; Roessler & Tabb, 1974; Tampa Bay Water & Janicki Environmental Inc., 2003; Jiménez-Ramos & Acosta-Balbás, 2020). The very high and unstable salinity conditions that prevail in the Río Lagartos coastal lagoon probably favour the adaptation of species, which represents an adaptive advantage, given the predicted salinity increase associated with ongoing climate change (Curry et al ., 2003; Boyer et al ., 2005).…”
