Diversity and structure of benthic diatom assemblages in 16 Crimean nearshore habitats with varying levels of technogenic bottom area pollution at depths range 0.5–50 m were investigated and accessed using Taxonomic Distinctness indices (TaxDI). In total 793 species and intraspecific taxa, belonging to 736 species, 130 genera, 53 families, 27 orders and 3 classes of Bacillariophyta were registered. The structure of diatom assemblages from polluted sites can be described as having low species richness and a large proportion of mono- and oligospecies branches at the family and order levels. In locations under a moderate anthropogenic impact, the structure was characterised by relatively high species richness and an equal ratio of oligo- and poly-species branches closed at genus level, with the presence of monospecies branches converging at family or order level. Taxocenes in pristine sites were distinguished by the highest species richness and a predominance of poly-species branches closed at different hierarchical levels.
Неврова Е.Л. Таксономическое разнообразие и структура бентосных диатомовых таксоценов (Bacillariophyta) вдоль Крымского побережья (Чёрное море). Исследовано таксономическое разнообразие и структура бентосных диатомовых таксоценов в 16 прибрежных местооби- таниях Крыма с разной степенью техногенного загрязнения в диапазоне глубины 0.5–50 м. Для оценки иерархической структуры таксоценов диа- томовых исследованных районов использован индекс таксономической отличительности (TaxDI). Всего зарегистрировано 793 вида и внутривидовых таксона, относящихся к 736 видам, 130 родам, 53 семействам, 27 отрядам и 3 классам Bacillariophyta. Структура таксоценов диатомовых в загрязненных районах характеризуется низким видовым богатством и большой долей моно- и олиговидовых ветвей на уровне семейств и порядков. В акваториях с умеренным антропогенным воздействием структура таксоценов имеет относительно высокое видовое богатство и равное соотношение олиго- и поливидовых ветвей, замкнутых на уровне родов, с наличием моновидовых ветвей, конвергирующих на уровне семейств или порядков. Таксоцены в ненарушенных местообитаниях отличаются наибольшим видовым богатством и преобладанием поливидовых ветвей, сходящихся на различных уровнях иерархии.
