Open WL Archief (OWA)

Over het archief

Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.

Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

Abstract

Investigation on meiofauna, and, more specifically, harpacticoid copepods in tropical seagrass beds can be used to understand better the concepts of isolation, islandisation and habitat fragmentation, important notions in modern nature conservation. Double sets of triplicate samples were taken in seagrass beds in Gazi Bay (Southeast Kenya) and on Zanzibar Island (Tanzania). Meiofauna taxa (size range between 38 µm and 1 mm) were counted, and harpacticoid copepods were identified to species level. Statistical analysis (including correspondence analysis and Hill indices) was applied, revealing differences in community composition and diversity on spatial levels within and between habitats (alpha resp. beta diversity) in both Kenya and Zanzibar, as well as between the two sites (gamma diversity). All factors possibly causing these differences are discussed. No clear conclusion can be drawn though relating the findings to modern island biogeography theories.
