Distribution patterns of dinoflagellate communities along the Songhua River.

Abstract:

Background:Dinoflagellates have the potential to pose severe ecological and economic damages to aquatic ecosystems. It is therefore largely needed to understand the causes and consequences of distribution patterns of dinoflagellate communities in order to manage potential environmental problems. However, a majority of studies have focused on marine ecosystems, while the geographical distribution patterns of dinoflagellate communities and associated determinants in freshwater ecosystems remain unexplored, particularly in running water ecosystems such as rivers and streams. Methods:Here we utilized multiple linear regression analysis and combined information on species composition recovered by high-throughput sequencing and spatial and environmental variables to analyze the distribution patterns of dinoflagellate communities along the Songhua River. Results:After high-throughput sequencing, a total of 490 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were assigned to dinoflagellates, covering seven orders, 13 families and 22 genera. Although the sample sites were grouped into three distinctive clusters with significant difference (p < 0.05) in environmental variables, OTUs-based dinoflagellate communities among the three clusters showed no significant difference (p > 0.05). Among all 24 environmental factors, two environmental variables, including NO3-N and total dissolved solids (TDS), were selected as the significantly influential factors (p < 0.05) on the distribution patterns of dinoflagellate communities based on forward selection. The redundancy analysis (RDA) model showed that only a small proportion of community variation (6.1%) could be explained by both environmental (NO3-N and TDS) and dispersal predictors (watercourse distance) along the River. Variance partitioning revealed a larger contribution of local environmental factors (5.85%) than dispersal (0.50%) to the total variation of dinoflagellate communities. Discussion:Our findings indicated that in addition to the two quantifiable processes in this study (species sorting and dispersal), more unquantifiable stochastic processes such as temporal extinction and colonization events due to rainfall may be responsible for the observed geographical distribution of the dinoflagellate community along the Songhua River. Results obtained in this study suggested that deeper investigations covering different seasons are needed to understand the causes and consequences of geographical distribution patterns of dinoflagellate biodiversity in river ecosystems.
