Arthropod gut symbionts from the Balearic Islands: Majorca and Cabrera. Diversity and biogeography

[摘要] This study includes a catalogue with all the current data concerning the presence of trichomycetes ( sensu lato ) in Majorca and Cabrera, as well as information on the biology, ecology and biogeographic implications of the insularity for each taxon of these arthropod-gut symbionts. Of the 13 species here reported, 10 are new for the Balearic Islands, including 4 Mesomycetozoan, of which 3 Eccrinales ( Astreptonema gammari, Eccrinidus flexilis, Parataeniella dilatata ), 1 Amoebidiales ( Paramoebidium curvum ) and 6 kixckellomycotina Harpellales ( Genistellospora homothallica, Harpella melusinae, Smittium culisetae, S. simulii, Stachylina grandisporaandSt. nana ); the additional 3 were previously reported elsewhere:Asellaria ligiae(Aslleariales),Legeriomyces rarusandStipella vigilans(Harpellales), but are here included as indissoluble part of the present Balearic catalogue. All taxa are commented, illustrated and their biogeographic implications are discussed.
