摘要

Abstract

Trait structure is increasingly used in plankton ecology to understand diversity and biogeography. However

our knowledge of microzooplankton (e.g. planktonic ciliates) trait structure and its variation with hydrography is limited. In this study

we analyzed planktonic ciliate trait structure in waters with different hydrography and deep Chlorophyll

maximum (DCM) layers over three seamounts: Yap

Mariana

and Caroline seamounts. Mariana seamount had a lower surface temperature than the Yap and Caroline seamounts. DCM layers over Mariana and Caroline seamounts were deeper than Yap seamount. There was a weak upwelling in upper 50 m around top of Mariana seamount. The ciliate distribution showed bimodal pattern (high abundance appeared in the surface and DCM layers) over three seamounts. At surface layer

the large size-fraction (

30 μm) abundance proportion to aloricate ciliate over Yap seamount (44.4%) was higher than Mariana (32.8%) and Caroline (36.1%) seamounts. For tintinnid abundance proportion to total ciliate

Mariana (12.0%) and Caroline (11.5%) seamounts at about 100-m depth were higher than that of Yap seamount (6.4%). Vertically

tintinnid could be divided into 4 groups over the three seamounts. At 30-m depth

group Ⅰ (species occurring from surface to 100 m only) was dominant component over Yap and Caroline seamounts

while group Ⅳ (species occurring at every depth) changed into dominant component over Mariana seamount

the weak upwelling might be the reason.

Salpingella faurei

was the top dominant species

which corresponded to deeper DCM layers over Mariana and Caroline seamounts. Our results showed that the upwelling and the deeper DCM could influence the planktonic ciliate trait structure.
