BETA-DIVERSITY ON TARDIGRADE FAUNA OF MALDIVIAN ISLANDS BETA-DIVERSITÁ SULLA FAUNA A TARDIGRADI DELLE ISOLE MALDIVE Abstract –The present study was carried out with the aim of improving the knowledge on tardigrade fauna of Maldives Archipelago through the analysis of beta diversity. The present results show that Maldivian Islands represent an interesting study area for the very rich tardigrade fauna represented by a total record of 28 species. The estimation of beta-diversity highlights a high turnover of diversity in the atolls of the Maldives and confirms that sediments type may play a key role in determining the species composition of the tardigrade fauna. Key-words: meiofauna, Tardigrada, beta-diversity, Maldives. Introduction –A joint research project on the biodiversity and ecology of meiofauna from Maldive Islands has been carried out since 2004 with the aim of widening their scanty and fragmentary knowledge (Gallo et al., 2007; Sandulli et al., 2009; Semprucci et al., 2009 and references therein). Beta-diversity estimate is largely applied for macrofauna assemblages, but quite neglected for the meiofauna ones (Gray, 2000). In this study we report the results of a first survey of the beta-diversity of the Maldivian tardigrades in order to estimate the turnover in the diversity composition at different level (i.e. between the different atolls and sediment types). Materials and methods – Overall, 32 stations were sampled at North Ari and South Malé Atolls from 0.5 m to 53 m depth. Samples were collected by means of SCUBAdivers via hand-coring (corer surface area: 6.2 cm 2 ). Meiofauna were anaesthetized with a MgCl2 solution and preserved with 5% neutralized formalin-seawater. Animals were extracted from the sediment by decantation technique and all individuals were sorted and counted per taxa under a stereomicroscope. Tardigrades were individually studied under a compound microscope. The β-diversity (i.e. turnover diversity, estimated as % Bray-Curtis dissimilarity; Gray 2000) was calculated using SIMPER test (cut-off 50%) and the significance of the differences detected was analysed using the Analysis of Similarities (ANOSIM). Results and conclusions – Overall, 28 species of tardigrades belonging to 4 families and 14 genera were found. ANOSIM showed a significant difference between the assemblages of tardigrades of the two atolls (R 2 =0.28; p=0.001) with an overall dissimilarity value of 83% (SIMPER). The species that mainly contributed to the differences between atolls were Halechiniscus greveni, Batillipes philippinensis, Dipodarctus subterraneus, Florarctus hulingsi and Styraconyx nanoqsunguak, which were more abundant at South Malé, whereas Batillipes n. sp. and Florarctus n. sp were only found at Ari North. Significant differences were detected also when the sediment 41 st S.I.B.M. CONGRESS Rapallo (GE), 7-11 June 2010 258
