摘要

Abstract

Coral reefs support a wide range of organisms in the world

including jellyfish and their benthic relatives. However

quantifying the biodiversity of these organisms in reefs is a challenge because of their uneven distribution and cryptic early life stages

requiring the validation of alternative techniques for biodiversity assessment. Here

the biodiversity and spatial distribution patterns of jellyfish and their benthic relatives

from the Scyphozoa

Hydrozoa

and Ctenophora taxa (hereafter referred to as SHC)

were investigated in the coral reefs of Xisha

China

using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding technology by collecting shallow seawater

mesophotic seawater

and sediment samples. One-hundred and eighty-eight SHC species spanning two phyla (Cnidaria and Ctenophora)

three classes

11 orders

65 families

and 104 genera were identified

among which hydrozoans were the most dominant taxa

accounting for 89.81% of all SHC species. SHC species showed low connectivity between shallow and mesophotic habitats

presenting a clear v

ertical distribution pattern in coral reefs. In the mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs)

140 SHC species (84.34%) were detected

of which 39.76% were exclusive to MCEs

with

Zanclea

sp.1

Orthopyxis

integra

and

Fabienna

sphaerica

being the dominant species. Additionally

although SHC diversity in seawater was higher than that in the sediment samples

22 species were identified only in the sediment samples

indicating that sediment eDNA may represent a valuable supplementary tool for the investigation of SHC communities in hot spots. In addition to revealing the vast diversity of SHC species occupying coral reef ecosystems in the Xisha Islands

our findings confirm the potential of eDNA metabarcoding as an advanced tool for monitoring the biodiversity of cryptic species.
