An Entity of Type: eukaryote, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Nepenthes infauna are the organisms that inhabit the pitchers of Nepenthes plants. These include fly and midge larvae, spiders, mites, ants, and even a species of crab, Geosesarma malayanum. The most common and conspicuous predators found in pitchers are mosquito larvae, which consume large numbers of other larvae during their development. Many of these animals are so specialised that they cannot survive anywhere else, and are referred to as nepenthebionts.

  • Nepenthes infauna are the organisms that inhabit the pitchers of Nepenthes plants. These include fly and midge larvae, spiders, mites, ants, and even a species of crab, Geosesarma malayanum. The most common and conspicuous predators found in pitchers are mosquito larvae, which consume large numbers of other larvae during their development. Many of these animals are so specialised that they cannot survive anywhere else, and are referred to as nepenthebionts. The complex relationships between these various organisms are not yet fully understood. The question of whether infaunal animals "steal" food from their hosts, or whether they are involved in a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) association has yet to be investigated experimentally and is the source of considerable debate. Charles Clarke suggests that mutualism is a "likely situation", whereby "the infauna receives domicile, protection and food from the plant, while in return, the infauna helps to break down the prey, increase the rate of digestion and keep bacterial numbers low".

  • I simbionti delle Nepenthes sono degli organismi che vivono all'interno degli ascidi delle piante carnivore del genere Nepenthes. Gli insetti annegati nella trappola, come questo coleottero catturato da Nepenthes ovata, costituiscono fonte di nutrimento per l'infauna. Tra questi organismi, i più frequenti sono larve di mosche e zanzare, ragni, formiche, acari ed anche il granchio Geosesarma malayanum. I predatori più numerosi e più comuni all'interno degli ascidi sono le larve di zanzara, che predano un grande numero di altre larve durante il loro sviluppo. Alcune di esse sono così specializzate che si ritrovano esclusivamente all'interno degli ascidi delle Nepenthes, e per questo motivo sono state chiamate nepenthebionti. Le diverse relazioni esistenti tra questi organismi e il loro ospite non sono ancora state del tutto comprese. Non è ancora ben chiaro se essi "rubino" le prede alle piante o se instaurino dei rapporti simbiotici con esse.Secondo Clarke, il mutualismo è il rapporto più probabile: l'infauna riceve protezione e cibo dalla pianta, mentre questa beneficia dei prodotti della digestione degli organismi ospitati.

  • Непентобіонти — збірна група тварин-коменсалів, які екологічно пов'язані з видами рослин-хижаків з роду Непентес, живлячись впольованими рослиною тваринами. Непентобіонти заселяють глек-пастку та листки непентесів і є видо- або родоспецифічними тваринами, які поза межами рослини-господаря не трапляються. До непентобіонтів належать здебільшого дрібні членистоногі (комахи, павуки, кліщі) та один вид крабів — (Geosesarma malayanum & , 1986). (uk)
  • 猪笼草底内动物(Nepenthes infauna)是栖息于猪笼草捕虫笼内的动物。其包括蝇和蚊幼虫、蜘蛛、螨、蚂蚁及一种特别的蟹类,马来吸血鬼蟹(Geosesarma malayanum),甚至還有兩生類豬籠草姬蛙。捕虫笼内最常见的底内动物为蚊类幼虫,在其发育过程中以其他动物的幼虫为食。很多动物只能生存在捕虫笼中,离开捕虫笼就无法生存,所以它们也被称为依猪笼草动物。 这些不同生物间的复杂关系尚未完全清楚。以至于这些猪笼草生物是否从猪笼草中获取食物,或者是否存在一个互利共生关系仍有待研究,仍存在着很大的争议。查尔斯·克拉克认为互利共生是一种“可能的情况”,即是“猪笼草提供了场所、保护或食物;作为回报,这些动物帮助猪笼草捕获动物、提高消化率或抑制细菌繁殖”。 (zh)
