The Cost for Biodiversity: Records of Ciliate-Nematode Epibiosis with the Description of Three New Suctorian Species

Résumé

Epibiosis is a common phenomenon in marine systems. In marine environments, ciliates are among the most common organisms adopting an epibiotic habitus and nematodes have been frequently reported as their basibionts. In the present study, we report several new records of peritrich and suctorian ciliates-nematode association worldwide: from a deep-sea pockmark field in the NW Madagascar margin (Indian Ocean), from a shallow vent area in the Gulf of Naples (Mediterranean, Tyrrhenian Sea), in a MPA area in the Gulf of Trieste (Mediterranean, Adriatic Sea), from a mangrove system in French Guiana (South America, Atlantic Ocean), and from the Maldivian Archipelago. In addition, three new species of Suctorea from the Secca delle Fumose shallow vent area (Gulf of Naples) were described:Loricophryasusannaen. sp.,Thecacinetafumosaen. sp. andAcinetopsis lynnin. sp. In the light of these new records and data from the existing literature, we discuss the suctorian-nematode epibiosis relationship as a lever to biodiversity.
