英文摘要 | Rain-fed granite rock pools are geological landforms with a worldwide distribution. However, their role as habitats for microorganisms has been barely explored. We carried out a detailed morphological inventory of the ciliated protists in the sediments of three granite rain-fed rock pools from a Spanish National Park. The ciliate seed bank in the rock pools comprised 54 morphospecies. The species number inferred for each pool by rarefaction analysis was similar to that observed by microscopy. The most representative species were small bacterivorous ciliates, although the distribution of ciliate groups was significantly different in each rock pool. Testate amoebae were also found to be rich in species. This study demonstrates the existence of a diverse ciliate community adapted to persist in these ephemeral and extreme rock pool habitats through species resistance structures, many of which have not been described previously. The presence of competitive species in dormant stages prevents local extinctions through a sequential excystation over time. Our results provide a benchmark for studying protist and microbial biodiversity within rain-fed granite rock pools, a unique habitat that merits bio- and geo- conservation. |
