The distribution of foraminifera is influenced by several environmental factors such as depth, sediment type, chemical and physical oceanographic paramaters, and season. The aim of the study was to determine the foraminiferal assemblages and their relationship to physical and chemical parameters in the offshore of Balikpapan waters of Makassar Strait such as depth, temperature, currents, sediment types, and salinity. Surface sediment, physical, and chemical parameters sampling was conducted in April 2012. The results of the observations on the sediment samples recognized planktonic foraminifera in 6 genera and 40 genera of benthic foraminifera from the 6 stations. Biodiversity of planktonic foraminifera was categorized in a low category with a range of 0.198-0.525. However, biodiversity for benthic foraminifera was categorized in a high category with a range of 0.811-0.925. Dominance of planktonic foraminifera was medium to high with range of 0.474-0.802 which was assumed due to the sampling sites as an open waters. Meanwhile, dominance for benthic foraminifera was in a low category with range of 0.075-0.189. The most common planktonic foraminifera was found from Genus Globigerina (10538 individuals). While, the most abundant of benthic foraminifera was found from Genus Amphistegina (3134 individuals).  Keywords: abundance, foraminifera, sediment, and Makassar Strait

The Gold Coast ornamental lake at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta is artificial, shallow and not too wide. It receives runoff from residential drainage channels, that affects the trophic states of the waters and the phytoplankton that live in it. This study aims to analyze the diversity of phytoplankton communities temporally related to trophic states in these waters. Sampling was carried out monthly for one year on the physical and chemical parameters of the waters and phytoplankton. Furthermore, the analysis of community structure and diversity of, a, b, and g, as well as determining the level of trophic states using the Chlorophyceae index and Cyanophyceae index. During the observation, four classes of phytoplankton were obtained, Chlorophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, Cyanophyceae, and Euglenophyceae which in total consisted of 41 species (g), a1-12 totaling 20-28 species, and b which were relatively small. The value of diversity index (H ') is low, the evenness (E) is moderate, and the dominance (C) is low. The values ​​of the two trophic states indices indicated that the waters were in a eutrophic condition during the observation. In general, it can be concluded that the conditions of the waters were always eutrophic for one year, the diversity of phytoplankton is relatively low and did not show significant changes in species between observations.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to examine the community structure and vertical micro-distribution of psammonic ciliates in two lakes of different trophic status in eastern Poland. Additionally, the size and trophic structure of these microorganisms, and the influence of physical and chemical water parameters on their abundance, were analysed. Psammon samples were collected during spring, summer, and autumn of 2010. In each of the lakes samples were collected in the euarenal, higroarenal, and hydroarenal zones of the psammolittoral. In order to determine the micro-vertical distribution of ciliates, each sample was divided into two sub-samples: the upper part (0–1cm) and the lower part (1–2cm). The species diversity of ciliates decreased with depth. The tendency was particularly clear in mesotrophic lakes. Irrespective of the lake’s trophic type and arenal zones, significantly higher numbers and biomass of ciliates were recorded in the surface layer of the psammolittoral. The upper layer of sand was dominated by omnivorous taxa, whereas the deeper layer showed increases in the proportions of bacterivore species. The factors limiting the occurrence of ciliates are mainly concentrations of total organic carbon and nutrients.

Changes in lotic macroinvertebrate communities 8 years after logging were examined in two sets of paired catchments (Sutton and Lewin) in south-western Western Australia by using analysis of variance, classification (TWINSPAN), and ordination (semi-strong hybrid multidimensional scaling). Both paired catchments contained an undisturbed stream and a stream where clearfelling had been taken to the stream edges. The Sutton catchment also contained a stream where clearfelling had occurred but a 100 m-wide strip of vegetation had been retained as a buffer zone. Differences in richness and abundance of animals between the undisturbed and clearfelled streams in the two catchments were obscured by differences between the sites within each stream. However, ordination of the samples revealed differences in the composition of the macroinvertebrate communities between the clearfelled and undisturbed streams in both catchments. Underlying environmental gradients that separated the invertebrate communities in the clearfelled streams from those in the undisturbed streams, in ordination space, were conductivity, the amount of coarse and fine particulate organic matter, and a reduction in total nitrogen. In all, 11 macroinvertebrate taxa were found to be associated with the separation of samples from the undisturbed and clearfelled streams, this response probably being due to increases in conductivity within the clearfelled streams. Macroinvertebrate community structure in the buffered stream was different from that in the undisturbed stream but was more similar to the latter than to that in the clearfelled stream. Physical and chemical parameters of the buffered stream were also more similar to those of the undisturbed stream. These results indicated that the 100 m-wide buffer zone appeared to be effective in ameliorating any disturbance due to clearfelling.
