Нематоди як складова трофічних ланцюгів епіфітних зооценозів міста Чернігова

Abstract

40 nematode species belonging to 30 genera, 20 families and 8 orders were revealed in the three recreational parks of epiphytic mosses in the city of Chernihiv. Nematode fauna divided into four feeding groups: omnivores, predators, saprobionts, mycohelminths; phytohelminths were absent. Saprobionts dominated as the number of species and density of populations. Micohelminths were the second group by species diversity with little number. Omnivores were the in second place in the density of populations with small number of species. Group predators represented a small number of species with a low number in only one of the three surveyed parks. Highest value of tropfic diversity index was recorded in park near the regional T.B. prophylactic centre (2,28).
