Interactions among bacterial-feeding nematode species at different levels of food availability

Abstract: Accurate prediction of the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationship requires adequate understanding of the interactions among species in a community. Effects of species diversity on ecosystem functioning are usually considered more pronounced with increasing functional dissimilarity, although species within functional groups may also perform non-identical functions and interact with each other. Here we present results of a laboratory experimental study aimed at elucidating whether interspecific interact… Show more

“…The latter abound on macroalgal wrack and in salt-marsh sediments with relatively high silt content (dos Santos et al 2009), whereas the former is typical of fine-to mediumgrained sandy sediments with very low silt percentages . At the Paulina site, they occur at very nearby stations (separated by only a few tens of meters).…”

“…(4) They are easy to culture in the lab, and their life history and mutual interactions have been well studied (Moens & Vincx 2000a,b, dos Santos et al 2008. They are in fact 2 of the only 3 marine nematode species for which interspecific inhibitory interactions have been well documented (De Mesel et al 2006, dos Santos et al 2009). (5) They are suitable prey to Enoploides (Moens et al 1999.…”
