稳定同位素技术在红树林生态系统中动物食物来源研究的应用

近年来,稳定同位素技术在动物生态学研究中得到了广泛的应用,也为动物的食性研究提供了非常有效的手段。大型底栖动物、游泳动物、浮游动物是红树林生态系统中的重要类群,其食物来源和营养关系的研究对揭示红树林生态系统物质循环和能量流动具有重要意义。本文重点综述了稳定同位素技术在红树林生态系统中大型底栖动物、游泳动物、浮游动物食物来源方面的应用研究,对存在的问题和前景进行了分析和展望。

Application of Stable Isotope Technique in the Study of Food Sources of Animal in Mangrove Ecosystem

Recently, stable isotope technique had been widely used in animal ecology studies, and became an effective method for animal diet research. Macrobenthos, swimming animals and zooplankton were important groups in the mangrove ecosystem, and the study of their food sources and trophic relationships would be significant in revealing the material circulation and energy flowing of mangrove ecosystem. This paper mainly reviewed the applications of stable isotopes in researching the food sources of macrobenthos, swimming animals and zooplankton in mangrove ecosystem, and some existing problem and the prospect of such studies were also analyzed.
