Im Rahmen des internationalen Expeditionsvorhabens ANDEEP (Antarctic benthic deep-sea biodiversity) soll die Artenvielfalt der benthischen Harpacticoida (Copepoda) untersucht werden. Dafür sollen auf zwei Fahrtabschnitten je zwei weit auseinanderliegende Stationen mit mehreren Multicorern hintereinander in Tiefen ab 3000 m beprobt werden. Für jede Probe soll die Artenzusammensetzung und die Abundanz der einzelnen Arten vierer ausgewählter übergeordneter Taxa (Argestidae, Pseudotachidiidae, Neobradyidae, Huntemanniidae) als Grundlage für eine Untersuchung der Diversitätsmuster ermittelt werden. Durch Vergleich der vier Stationen untereinander und mit denen der bereits durchgeführten DIVA-Expedition zum Angola-Becken soll überprüft werden, wie groß die Areale sind, die einzelne Arten besiedeln bzw. wie hoch der Anteil weit verbreiteter und lokaler Arten ist. Dies ist wichtig, will man zu einer überschlagmäßigen Abschätzung der Gesamtartenzahl der Harpacticoida in der Tiefsee gelangen. Außerdem wird ein Vergleich der Harpacticoida der antarktischen Tiefsee mit denen des Schelfes angestrebt. Ausgewählte Teiltaxa sollen systematisch bearbeitet werden. Zusätzlich werden von uns die Loricifera untersucht.
Im Rahmen des internationalen Großprojektes DIVA soll die Artenvielfalt der Tiefseeharpacticoida (Copepoda) des Angolabeckens untersucht werden. Dafür sind vier Stationen quantitativ auf dem Fahrtabschnitt M 48/1 beprobt worden. Pro Station liegen bis zu sieben Repliken vor, so dass die Analysen erstmals mit Hilfe statistischer Tests absicherbar sein werden. Alle in den Proben vorhandenen adulten Harpacticoida sollen bis zur Familie bestimmt werden. Die Artbestimmung soll sich auf vier Taxa (Argestidae, Pseudotachidiidae, Huntemanniidae, Neobradyidae) konzentrieren. Für jede Probe soll die Artenzusammensetzung sowie die Abundanz der einzelnen Arten als Grundlage für eine Untersuchung der Diversitätsmuster ermittelt werden. Die Diversität soll sowohl kleinräumig durch Vergleich der Einzelrepliken einer Station als auch großräumig durch Vergleich des Materials der vier beprobten Stationen untersucht werden. Es wird sich zeigen, wie groß die Areale einzelner Arten sind bzw. wie hoch der Anteil weit verbreiteter und lokaler Arten ist. Im Vergleich mit den Ergebnissen anderer Expeditionen (z.B. ANDEEP) wird sich daraus letztlich abschätzen lassen, wie hoch die Gesamtartenzahl der Harpacticoida in der Tiefsee sein könnte. Zusätzlich zu den Diversitätsuntersuchungen sollen ausgewählte Teiltaxa systematisch bearbeitet werden. Andere Gruppen der Meiofauna werden an Kooperationspartner weitergegeben oder zusätzlich von uns bearbeitet.
As part of the DAM pilot mission "MGF Ostsee", the meiobenthic communities of a protected area and a reference area in the Fehmarn Belt (Baltic Sea, Germany) were compared, with both study areas currently permitting mobile bottom trawling (MGF). Meiobenthic data were recorded at the major taxon level, with a special focus on the Copepoda Harpacticoida, which was further examined at the species level. This data collection will serve as a baseline for future assessments, after the planned exclusion of MGF in the protected area in 2024 to identify potential impacts of MGF on meiofaunal communities. Meiofauna samples were collected with a multicorer (MUC) on the expedition EMB238 of RV ELISABETH MANN BORGESE from May 26th to June 9th, 2020. From each MUC core the upper 5 cm of the sediment and the supernatant water filtered over 40 µm were used for further processing (area coverage per core: 72.4 cm²). For the morphological approach, this material was fixed with buffered formalin (final concentration: about 4%). Subsequently, in the laboratories of the German Centre for Marine Biodiversity Research (DZMB) in Wilhelmshaven, further treatment took place, namely centrifugation of the rinsed samples with Levasil®, a colloidal gel, to separate the organisms from the sediment (cf. McIntyre and Warwick 1984). Because the sampling material contained an extraordinary abundance of meiofauna, each sample had to be divided into sub-samples before counting and sorting the organisms to ensure efficient processing. This was done using the Jensen splitter (Jensen 1982), which divides a sample into eight equally sized sub-samples. One of these was randomly selected and used for further evaluation.
