宁夏沙坡头PM_(10)浓度月-季节分布特征及其气象影响因素

以2017年1—12月宁夏沙坡头自然保护区PM_(10)和气象要素的监测数据为基础,采用逐步回归分析研究了不同月份和季节PM_(10)浓度分布特征,并探讨气象要素对PM_(10)浓度的影响。结果表明:PM_(10)浓度存在明显的时间变化特征,就月份而言,5月PM_(10)浓度最高,4月和6月次之,8月和9月最低,季节尺度上春季冬季夏季秋季; PM_(10)浓度受到气象因素影响,风速低于1.5 m·s~(-1)时,PM_(10)浓度随风速的增加而逐渐降低,大于1.5 m·s~(-1)以后,PM_(10)浓度开始逐渐升高;北风对PM_(10)污染有较明显的驱散作用,东风则对PM_(10)污染起累积作用;降水对空气颗粒物有明显的清除和冲刷作用,降水日PM_(10)浓度比无降水日减少46.5%;相对湿度为50%左右,PM_(10)浓度达到最高,此后随相对湿度的增加而逐渐降低;不同时间下,影响PM_(10)浓度的气象因子有所差异。     

基于实地监测的城市林木调控PM2.5能力研究

随着城市的不断扩张,PM_(2.5)污染凸显,引起广泛关注。研究表明,城市林木为城市环境提供了重要的生态保障,在调控、缓解、降低城市PM_(2.5)污染危害等方面发挥极其重要的作用,通过筛选树种、优化配置结构、提高林木质量等方面进行城市林木前瞻性布局。然而,结合前期研究基础如何进一步深入研究并研究突破城市林木调控PM_(2.5)污染机制与机理,实现调控PM_(2.5)效应的最大化、最优化,依然是一个亟待解决的难题,这迫切需要在多尺度、多维度进行调控PM_(2.5)效应研究,并在不同尺度、不同维度进一步进行结合、延伸。对基于实地监测的城市林木调控PM_(2.5)能力研究现状相关文献进行归纳总结,并从林木单位叶面积与形态特征、配置结构特征、气象条件以及其他因素等方面归纳城市林木调控PM_(2.5)机制,同时从城市林木调控PM_(2.5)效应的时间变化特征、水平距离和垂直变化特征、内外变化特征等方面总结城市林木调控PM_(2.5)时空特征。最终提出研究城市林木调控PM_(2.5)效应目前存在的主要问题以及未来研究展望。     

城市空气污染对周边区域空气质量的影响

京津冀地区是全球以PM_(2.5)为首要污染物的空气污染最严重的区域之一,并已严重制约区域发展。大区域尺度上(例全国尺度)开展城市与其周边区域的PM_(2.5)的研究通常直接比较二者的浓度差异,以定量地评估城市PM_(2.5)污染对周边区域的影响,但这种方法在小区域较难精细地刻画城市对周边区域的影响的方向性和距离性差异。利用京津冀地区13个城市2000年,2005年,2010年,2015年PM_(2.5)浓度和土地覆盖类型数据,以城市重心到城市边界的平均距离为基本距离,建立每个城市的一级(一倍基本距离)和二级(二倍基本距离)缓冲区,然后将缓冲区分成8个象限,以定量分析城市PM_(2.5)污染对周边区域影响的方向性和距离差异。结果发现:(1)2000—2015年,京津冀城市群各地级市与周边区域空气质量时空分布分为以下两种模式:第一种模式是城区浓度高,周边区域低;第二种模式是城区浓度低,周边区域高且浓度差异很小。(2)各地级市对周边区域影响程度和范围呈上升趋势,并且这种影响具体表现在距离性和方向性两方面:(1)大部分城市距离城区越远,受城市PM_(2.5)污染的潜在影响越大。(2)2000—2015年,除天津、廊坊、衡水和沧州,其余城市空气污染对周边影响的方向性特征差异显著。通过建立城市空气污染对周边区域定量化方法并在京津冀开展实证研究,拓展了城市空气污染对周边区域空气质量影响研究的方法体系,为定量地开展城市化的生态环境效应研究提供了方法和实证拓展。     

城市规模对大气污染物NO2和PM2.5浓度的影响

随着我国城市的快速发展,城市的区域性大气污染问题日益突出,尤其是大城市和超大城市的污染问题更加严重。那么城市规模的扩大是否必然导致空气污染的加剧?控制城市人口规模是否是防治空气污染的有效手段?这些问题成为空气污染防治中政府、公众和学者广泛关注的焦点。采用2013年冬季全国114个重点城市两种典型大气污染物-NO_2(传统)和PM_(2.5)(新型)-浓度的实时监测数据,首先分析了这两种大气污染物的空间分布特征,进而定量分析城市人口规模和大气污染物浓度的关系。结果显示:(1)仅有21%的城市NO_2浓度达到WHO的城市年均浓度标准(40μg/m~3),全部城市的PM_(2.5)浓度高于WHO年均浓度标准(10μg/m~3);(2)大气污染物的空间分布具有显著的集聚特征和区域性特征,表现为:NO_2呈较为分散的空间分布,而PM_(2.5)的空间分布呈现"北高南低、内陆高沿海低"的特征。NO_2浓度高的区域主要分布在天津、河北东南部和山东中部地区,PM_(2.5)浓度高的区域主要分布于河北西南部和山东西部;(3)常住人口规模同冬季NO_2和PM_(2.5)浓度呈倒"U"型关系;在1000到1200万的城市冬季平均NO_2和PM_(2.5)浓度最高(NO_2:69.28μg/m~3,PM_(2.5):119.58μg/m~3)。(4)总人口低于1200万的城市,冬季NO_2浓度和PM_(2.5)浓度随着城市规模增加而显著升高(NO_2:r=0.44,P0.01;PM_(2.5):r=0.43,P0.01);总人口高于1200万的城市,NO_2浓度同城市规模呈显著负相关关系(r=0.91,P0.05),PM_(2.5)浓度随城市规模增加逐渐降低。(5)常住人口密度在1000人/km~2以下的重点城市,NO_2和PM_(2.5)浓度同城市人口密度呈显著正相关关系(NO_2:r=0.23,P0.05;PM_(2.5):r=0.36,P0.01)。常住人口密度在1000人/km~2以上的城市人口密度同NO_2和PM_(2.5)浓度呈显著负相关关系(NO_2:r=-0.61,P0.05;PM_(2.5):r=0.63,P0.01)。以上研究结果可以为划定不同大气污染物的重点防治区域和制定联合防治行动计划提供理论依据,并为重点城市大气污染治理和城市人口规模控制理论完善提供参考。     

大气颗粒物(PM2.5、PM10)对地表景观结构的响应研究进展

颗粒物PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)是近年来我国大气首要污染物,威胁环境和人类健康。地表景观结构直接或间接影响PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)浓度,了解其影响过程和机理对于改善生态环境具有重要意义。系统总结了国内外关于PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)对地表景观结构响应的研究成果,指出研究中出现不确定性的可能影响因素,并对今后的发展方向进行展望。得出基本结论:(1)地表景观类型的构成及其格局显著影响大气颗粒物浓度,对PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)起到"源"和"汇"的作用。(2)地表景观结构引起局地气候变化并影响颗粒物的迁移转化,但其影响过程和机理复杂,研究结论并不明确。(3)颗粒物浓度和地表景观数据主要通过实际监测或遥感处理方法获得,但因为获取方法、监测点微观环境及遥感影像等因素影响,导致数据具有不确定性,加上时空尺度相对应的复杂性,大大限制了地表景观结构与PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)响应关系的研究进展,是未来要突破的难点。(4)PM_(2.5)、PM_(10)对地表景观结构响应的区域时空差异及过程,局地小气候变化对颗粒物浓度的影响过程和强度,主要景观类型尤其是水体、湿地景观对大气颗粒物浓度的影响过程、机理与贡献程度等是未来需要关注的方向。     

北京城市森林不同天气状况下PM2.5浓度变化

基于ENVI-met的城市道路绿地植物配置对PM2.5的影响研究

随着城市化的快速发展,大气污染尤其细颗粒物(PM_(2.5))已成为制约城市环境的重要因素,相关研究表明,在众多的PM_(2.5)来源中道路交通是在其中的重要来源之一,而道路绿地植物群落能够消减来自道路的PM_(2.5)。运用场地观测和ENVI-met模拟相结合的方法探讨城市道路绿地植物群落对PM_(2.5)的影响,分析仅有乔木(i)、乔木+树篱(ii)、乔木+树篱+灌木(iii)3种模式下的植物群落配置对PM_(2.5)的影响,揭示绿地植物群落的长度、宽度、高度和LAI对PM_(2.5)的影响。结果表明:(1)场地观测中的道路绿地植物群落的3种配置模式对PM_(2.5)的消减率分别是iii(14.2%)ii(12.9%)i(9.2%)。(2)绿地中植物的种类、绿地宽度、绿地植物的叶面指数等要素对消减作用起正面作用,高度和长度起负面作用。(3)绿地的长度的一定量的减少可以在绿地后方形成一个宽度约为绿地长度80%的、随着与绿地的距离的增加而宽度递减的较绿地长度更长环境PM_(2.5)浓度更低的低谷区,但其他没有绿地的空间的PM_(2.5)浓度会加重。(4)绿地高度的增加会迫使PM_(2.5)向更高的空间运动。     

不同污染程度下毛白杨叶表面PM2.5颗粒的数量及性质和叶片气孔形态的比较研究

选择了北京市环境PM_(2.5)浓度不同的两个采样点的毛白杨(Populus tomentosa Carr.)作为研究对象,利用环境扫描电镜及X-射线能谱仪对杨树叶片表面滞留的PM_(2.5)颗粒进行了观察、统计和成分分析,并研究了叶片气孔对环境颗粒物污染的适应性变化。结果表明:夏秋两季西直门叶片样品上下表面的PM_(2.5)数量均多于森林公园样品这说明环境PM_(2.5)浓度是影响叶片表面滞留颗粒物数量的主要原因;其中叶片上表面是滞留PM_(2.5)颗粒的主要区域。森林公园样品中PM_(2.5)颗粒性质比较单一,硅铝酸盐颗粒和石英颗粒占很大比例,二者的主要来源均为天然源,如土壤扬尘、矿物颗粒等;而西直门采样点叶片样品滞留的PM_(2.5)颗粒的元素组成更为复杂,其中50%以上的硅铝酸盐颗粒检测出了明显的铜、钾、氯、钠等元素的谱峰其来源主要是工业排放;西直门样品PM_(2.5)的含硫量高于森林公园样品,且夏季明显高于秋季。研究还发现有少数PM_(2.5)颗粒进入了毛白杨叶片的气孔而且不同污染程度下气孔的形态特征存在差异。与森林公园毛白杨叶片的气孔相比,西直门处的毛白杨叶片气孔的长度、宽度、面积和气孔密度均较小,说明较高的PM_(2.5)污染程度对毛白杨叶片的形态发育有一定影响。研究结果可以为揭示植物叶片阻滞、吸收大气颗粒污染物的机制、合理选择和优化城市绿化树种从而改善空气质量提供一定的科学理论依据。     

北京西山不同海拔油松林PM2.5浓度及叶片吸附量变化规律

以北京西山不同海拔梯度油松人工林为研究对象,对油松林PM_(2.5)浓度变化和叶片PM_(2.5)吸附量进行分析,并应用电子显微镜对不同海拔油松叶表面微形态特征进行观察,阐释叶片吸附PM_(2.5)差异。结果表明:随着海拔升高PM_(2.5)质量浓度逐渐降低,不同海拔油松林PM_(2.5)质量浓度日变化均呈典型的双峰曲线,7:00和19:00是一天的两个峰值,最小值出现在13:00—15:00左右;从不同月份看,不同海拔油松林PM_(2.5)质量浓度最高值出现在冬季的2月,最低值在8月;不同海拔油松林PM_(2.5)质量浓度全年均值为84 m((102.28±18.44)μg/m~3)110 m((94.18±18.34)μg/m~3)160 m((81.53±19.23)μg/m~3)230 m((75.39±15.71)μg/m~3);随着海拔升高单位叶面积PM_(2.5)吸附量逐渐减小,每升高50 m,单位叶面积PM_(2.5)吸附量降低23.25%,每公顷PM_(2.5)吸附量下降26.43%,不同海拔油松林每公顷PM_(2.5)吸附量全年均值为84 m((8.61±1.08)kg/hm~2)110 m((7.30±0.94)kg/hm~2)160 m((6.35±0.99)kg/hm~2)230 m((4.34±1.14)kg/hm~2);处于低海拔的油松叶表面较粗糙,气孔内部和周围聚集大量颗粒物,在叶面形态上更有利于吸附PM_(2.5),高海拔则相反。高海拔空气质量优于低海拔,低海拔的植物吸附颗粒物多于高海拔。研究结果可为城市造林和森林净化大气提供数据支持。     

城市化对空气污染人群暴露贡献的定量方法研究

短期快速城市化引发一系列生态环境问题,尤其是近年来以细颗粒物(PM_(2.5))为代表的城市与区域空气污染问题。人群的污染暴露一方面是因为污染区范围的扩张,另外一方面则归因于城市化引发的人口迁移,目前的研究重点关注于前者的贡献,而忽略了后者的贡献。因此,建立了城市化对空气污染人群暴露贡献的定量方法,并选取我国PM_(2.5)污染最为严重的京津冀城市群开展了实证研究,通过利用2000、2005、2010、2015年PM_(2.5)浓度和人口栅格数据以及人口自然增长率数据,定量评估了城市化引发的人口迁移对空气污染人群暴露的贡献。研究结果显示:(1)京津冀地区受污染影响面积和人口变化显著,造成大量的人口暴露于PM_(2.5)污染。(2)城市化引发的人口迁移与自然增长贡献率方面:总体上,2000—2015年,京津冀城市群总的人口迁移贡献率为48%,北京市和天津市总的人口迁移贡献率分别为94%和88%,而河北省污染总的人口迁移贡献率为-32%。其中在污染保持区,北京市和天津市的人口迁移贡献率均接近100%,而河北省的迁移贡献率为-26%,尤其在2010—2015年,河北省衡水市的人口迁移贡献率达到-6613%;在污染新增区,北京市和天津市的人口迁移贡献率分别为86%和84%,而河北省污染的人口迁移贡献率为-757%。本研究建立了定量化的方法揭示了城市化在空气污染人群暴露中的定量贡献,为科学引导城市化发展提供了定量的手段,为合理规划京津冀城市群地区的人口流动与空气污染奠定了数据基础。     

Contrasting sensitivity of nestling and fledgling Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica body mass to local weather conditions

Local weather can influence the growth and development of young birds either indirectly, by modifying prey availability, or directly, by affecting energetic trade-offs. Such effects can have lasting implications for life history traits, but the nature of these effets may vary with the developmental stage of the birds, and over timescales from days to weeks. We examined the interactive effects of temperature, rainfall and wind speed on the mass of nestling and fledgling Barn Swallows Hirundo rustica both on the day of capture and averaging weather across the time since hatching. At the daily timescale, nestling mass was negatively correlated with temperature, but the strength of this association depended on the level of rainfall and wind speed; nestlings were typically heavier on dry or windy days, and the negative effect of temperature was strongest under calm or wet conditions. At the early lifetime timescale (i.e. from hatching to pre-fledging), nestling mass was negatively correlated with temperature at low wind speed. Fledgling body mass was less sensitive to weather; the only weather effect evident was a negative correlation with temperature at the daily scale under high rainfall that became slightly positive under low rainfall. These changes are consistent with weather effects on the availability and distribution of insects within the landscape (e.g. causing high concentrations of flying insects) and with the effects of weather variation on nest microclimate. These results together demonstrate the impacts of weather on chick growth, over immediate (daily) and longer term (nestling/fledgling lifetime) timescales. This shows that sensitivity to local weather conditions varies across the early lifetime of young birds (nestling–fledgling stages) and illustrates the mechanisms by which larger scale (climate) variations influence the body condition of individuals.     

The association between meteorological variables and the abundance of Aedes taeniorhynchus in the Florida Keys

The black salt marsh mosquito, Aedes taeniorhynchus, is a serious nuisance pest and a potential vector of a number of arboviruses. This study examined the effect of wind direction, wind speed, temperature, and time of year on the abundance of Ae. taeniorhynchus collected in CO₂‐baited light traps at 12 sites in the Florida Keys during 2004. The dependent variable analyzed was the natural log of weekly mosquito abundance. The previous week's wind speed and wind direction, and the current week's temperature were used as independent variables. Simple and multiple linear regression models were used to assess the significance and nature of association between the meteorological variables and the natural log of mosquito abundance, and to determine whether the meteorological variables had significant associations with mosquito abundance after also controlling for time of year. Week of year was treated as a circular independent variable in the regression models, using the sine and cosine of week in radians to model the periodic seasonal fluctuation in mosquito abundance. Mosquito abundance was significantly associated with all meteorological variables and with week of year. Individually, previous week's wind speed and wind direction, and current week's temperature were able to explain respectively 24.5%, 24.5%, and 52.1% of the variation in mosquito abundance observed over the year. Week of year had the strongest individual association with mosquito abundance, explaining 65.7% of the variation in mosquito abundance. The meteorological variables were still significantly associated with mosquito abundance, after controlling for week of year. Week and the meteorological variables together explained 79.2% of the variation in mosquito abundance. The regression models fit to the data from this study suggest a strong periodic seasonal variation in mosquito abundance, with meteorological conditions explaining a significant portion of the variation beyond the seasonal trend.     

鲁东沿海丘陵茶园防护林的小气候特征

近年来山东乳山茶业逐渐兴起, 但由于北方冬春季温度低和倒春寒频繁发生, 茶叶种植面积逐年减小。如何在低成本管理的基础上提高茶叶产量和品质, 成为乳山茶园管理的一大难题。以2007年春季采用水平梯田整地种植的茶园为试验区, 以梯田周围营造的4种网格(8 m × 80 m, 12 m × 80 m, 20 m × 80 m, 40 m × 80 m)茶园防护林为研究对象, 分别在2013年4月、8月和12月, 测定风速、空气温度、土壤温度、空气相对湿度及土壤相对湿度, 以纯茶园作为对照, 进行了小气候因子测定和分析。结果表明: (1) 4种防护林均能有效地降低茶园内风速, 调节气温、土壤温度和土壤相对湿度, 增加空气相对湿度, 为茶树生长提供适宜的生态环境; (2)由于区域水分通量和太阳辐射的季节变化, 4种防护林的小气候调节效应也表现出一定的季节性差异; (3)主成分分析结果表明, 4种茶园防护林中, 影响小气候因子的主要因素是气温和土壤温度, 其因子负荷量分别为-0.978和0.986, 但风速与气温呈极显著相关关系, 与土壤温度之间无显著线性关系, 因此, 风速也能间接地影响林内小气候; (4) 8 m × 80 m的防护林对小气候的总体调节效应优于其他3种防护林。     

Swimming performance and associated ionic disturbance of juvenile pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha determined using different acceleration profiles

Swimming performance was assessed in juvenile pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha (body mass <5·0 g) using five different protocols: four constant acceleration tests each with a different acceleration profile (rates of 0·005, 0·011, 0·021 and 0·053 cm s^?2) and a repeated ramped‐critical swimming speed test. Regardless of the swim protocol, the final swimming speeds did not differ significantly (P > 0·05) among swim tests and ranged from 4·54 to 5·20 body lengths s^?1. This result supports the hypothesis that at an early life stage, O. gorbuscha display the same fatigue speeds independent of the swimming test utilized. Whole body and plasma [Na⁺] and [Cl^?] measured at the conclusion of these tests were significantly elevated when compared with control values (P < 0·05) and appear to be predominantly associated with dehydration rather than net ion gain. Given this finding for a small salmonid, estimates of swim performance can be accurately measured with acceleration tests lasting <10 min, allowing a more rapid processing than is possible with a longer critical swim speed test.     

Dispersal differences of a pest and a protected Cerambyx species (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in oak open woodlands: a mark–recapture comparative study

1. Cerambyx welensii (Cw) and Cerambyx cerdo (Cc) are two large saproxylic beetles living on Quercus trees in the Western Palearctic whose current pest and legal status differs markedly. Cw is an emerging pest involved in oak decline while Cc is an internationally protected species. 2. Acquiring knowledge of the ecology, demography and behaviour of Cw and Cc in forests harbouring mixed populations is a demanding task to optimise their management or protection. Here, we report the results of a mark–recapture study on the flight behaviour and dispersal potential of both species in holm oak open woodlands. 3. Average flights, dispersal rates and diffusion models were remarkably similar in Cw and Cc, reflecting a low‐dispersal tendency and sedentary behaviour. However, a subset of adults in both species exhibited a huge propensity to disperse and flew more than 1 km. An aggregated distribution of dispersal distances suggested that a behavioural polymorphism might underlie the flight pattern. 4. Adults moved preferentially in those spatial directions with neighbouring trees, while prevailing winds did not significantly affect dispersal patterns. The main interspecific differences were as follows: (i) Cc performed longer crosswind flights than Cw on windy days; (ii) Cc tended to fly farther than Cw at low temperatures; and (iii) adult feeding improved dispersal but only in small Cw females. Moon phase did not affect flight activity. 5. The results are discussed in an effort to interpret how these ecological and behavioural differences might shape the life history of both congeneric species when they live in sympatry in dehesa woodlands.     

纯林、混交林型园林绿地的生态效益

试验选择元大都城垣遗址公园西段4块不同结构类型的绿地为研究对象,即草坪、刺槐纯林、油松纯林、刺槐．油松混交林,每一块试验地的面积在1000m^2左右,进行了连续8d的测试,通过试验观测与调查资料的分析,得出4块不同结构类型的园林绿地在水平方向和垂直方向上温度、湿度、风速的分布规律及差异。结果表明,在水平方向上,在3种天气条件下,油松纯林的水平日平均温度最低、相对湿度最高;在晴朗天气一天中的高温时段,草坪的温度最高,相对湿度最低,刺槐一油松混交林的相对湿度最高,温度最低。在水平方向上,经SPSS方差分析,4种绿地间的温、湿度差异均达到显著水平（α=0．05）。在垂直方向上,4种绿地的温度随着高度的升高逐渐升高,而相对湿度则随着高度的升高而逐渐降低;相对于其他绿地,混交林的温度和相对湿度变化比较复杂。刺槐-油松混交林的降温增湿效果最好,草坪的降温增湿效果最差。混交林型绿地降低风速的效果好于2种纯林。根据4种绿地在夏季的降温增湿效应提出混交林是园林绿地中生态效益较好的植物配置模式并提出了营造城市园林绿地植物景观的建议。     

设施塑料大棚风洞试验及风压分布规律

风洞试验是研究建筑结构表面风压分布规律的最重要且有效的技术手段.利用NH-2型风洞研究设施塑料大棚表面风压分布规律,风洞为串置双试验段闭口回流风洞,风速连续可调,最高风速为90 m/s.试验模型的几何缩尺比为1:6,模型表面共布置192个测点,其中端面布置3排测压点,共63个测点,模型固定在风洞转盘上,试验风向角从0°到180°,间隔15°,共13个风向角.测量和分析不同风向角下设施大棚表面的风压系数和分布规律,并推导出了设施大棚各区域发生风灾的临界风速.结果表明:设施大棚迎风面以风压力为主,迎风边缘等值线密集,风力梯度大;背风面则受风吸力影响,风力变化平缓.在不同风向角下,设施大棚各迎风区域风压系数均由正压向负压过渡,在此过程中出现了零压区;而一直背风的区域风压系数均为负值.在45°风向角下,大棚顶端迎风边缘最高点处的负压达到最大.根据公式推导出各区域的临界风速,设施大棚顶部两侧区域受风吸力影响最大,最小临界风速为14.5 m/s,研究为设施大棚的风灾防御提供科学依据.     

Responses of the parasitoid Cotesia rubecula to its host Pieris rapae in a flight tunnel

Responses of female Cotesia rubecula (Marshall) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to larval Pieris rapae (L.) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) feeding on cabbage leaves were investigated in a flight tunnel. Latency of flight was shorter and the proportion of female wasps flying to leaves was greater when cabbage was infested with hosts. This indicated that wasps detected hosts prior to taking flight and were attracted to them. Wind speed was varied (18, 54, 100 cm/s) to examine its effect on the response of wasps to hosts. Flight was inhibited by increasing wind speed and was accompanied by less frequent but longer bouts of pointing (antennae raised and spread, facing into the wind). The accuracy of landing but not the duration of flight to the plant was affected by increasing wind speed. The results indicated that increasing wind speed will reduce the rate of parasitoid oviposition.

Résumé Cette étude concerne les réactions des femelles de C. rubecula Marshall (Hyméno., Braconidae) aux chenilles de P. rapae (Lépido, Pieridae) alimentées sur feuilles de choux. Le tunnel fournit un flux laminaire et l'air est recyclé avec désodorisation par circulation sur un filtre de charbon de bois. La période de latence avant l'envol est plus brève et la proportion de femelles volant vers les feuilles plus élevée quand les choux sont contaminés par les chenilles. Ceci montre que les femelles détectent les hôtes avant l'envol et qu'ils les attirent. Le vent peut influer sur la libération de kairomones, sur les caractéristiques du panache d'odeurs et sur l'énergétique du vol; en conséquence, différentes vitesses de vent (18, 54, 100 cm/S) ont été utilisées pour examiner leurs effets sur la réaction des braconides. Le vol a été inhibé par une augmentation de la vitesse du vent et était accompagné par de plus longues, mais moins fréquentes poussées de pointage (antennes dressées et étendues, face au vent). La précision de l'atterrissage a été affectée par l'augmentation de la vitesse du vent, mais non la durée du vol vers la plante. Ces résultats ont montré que l'augmentation de la vitesse du vent peut réduire le taux de ponte du parasitoïde en inhibant le vol. La signification de ces résultats est discutée en relation avec la situation dans la nature.

     

Climate change and nesting behaviour in vertebrates: a review of the ecological threats and potential for adaptive responses

Nest building is a taxonomically widespread and diverse trait that allows animals to alter local environments to create optimal conditions for offspring development. However, there is growing evidence that climate change is adversely affecting nest‐building in animals directly, for example via sea‐level rises that flood nests, reduced availability of building materials, and suboptimal sex allocation in species exhibiting temperature‐dependent sex determination. Climate change is also affecting nesting species indirectly, via range shifts into suboptimal nesting areas, reduced quality of nest‐building environments, and changes in interactions with nest predators and parasites. The ability of animals to adapt to sustained and rapid environmental change is crucial for the long‐term persistence of many species. Many animals are known to be capable of adjusting nesting behaviour adaptively across environmental gradients and in line with seasonal changes, and this existing plasticity potentially facilitates adaptation to anthropogenic climate change. However, whilst alterations in nesting phenology, site selection and design may facilitate short‐term adaptations, the ability of nest‐building animals to adapt over longer timescales is likely to be influenced by the heritable basis of such behaviour. We urgently need to understand how the behaviour and ecology of nest‐building in animals is affected by climate change, and particularly how altered patterns of nesting behaviour affect individual fitness and population persistence. We begin our review by summarising how predictable variation in environmental conditions influences nest‐building animals, before highlighting the ecological threats facing nest‐building animals experiencing anthropogenic climate change and examining the potential for changes in nest location and/or design to provide adaptive short‐ and long‐term responses to changing environmental conditions. We end by identifying areas that we believe warrant the most urgent attention for further research.     

我国西南地区风速变化及其影响因素

基于110个台站日风速观测资料,对我国西南地区1969—2009年风速时空变化及其影响因素进行研究,结果表明:1969—2009年西南地区平均风速以0.24 m s-110a-1的速率显著降低,其中1969—2000年平均风速以0.37 m s-110a-1速率降低,而2001—2009年却以0.55 m s-110a-1的速率升高,各季节、非季风和季风期风速变化趋势与年序列相似。空间分布上,1969—2009年风速降低台站主要位于高海拔区,降低幅度呈现西高东低趋势。1969—2000年风速降低台站主要位于西藏高原、横断山区和云南高原。2001—2009年风速增加台站主要位于云南高原、横断山区和四川盆地。风速这种变化趋势一方面受大气环流影响,西风环流和季风环流风速的减弱可能是2000年之前风速降低的重要原因,而纬向风的加强则对2000年以来风速增强有重要贡献。另一方面,区域变暖是风速降低的关键诱因。
