鼠害治理条件下鼠类群落变动的生态过程

在高寒草甸鼠害治理过程中,因治理方式、强度以及环境的差异,鼠类群落的变动表现出不同的特点。次生植被地区,灭杀高原鼢鼠和高原鼠兔后,经补播、封育、灭杀残存高原鼢鼠等综合治理,５年内,高原鼢鼠和高原鼠兔种群数量显著低于灭杀前（Ｐ＜０．０５）,根田鼠和甘肃鼠兔种群数量剧烈波动,鼠类群落多样性、均匀度指数年间波动大,群落不稳定;仅使用药物灭杀高原鼢鼠和高原鼠兔,３年后,高原鼢鼠种群数量与灭杀前无显著差异（Ｐ＞０．０５）,鼠类群落多样性、均匀度指数在灭鼠当年下降,以后各年间变动不显著。原生植被地区,使用药物灭杀高原鼠兔,高原鼢鼠种群数量上升,围栏封育措施,对高原鼠兔种群的增长有显著的抑制作用（Ｐ＜０．０５）,但对高原鼢鼠作用不显著（Ｐ＞０．０５）;单一药物灭杀高原鼠兔,鼠类群落多样性、均匀度指数无显著变化,灭杀３年后,高原鼠兔种群数量与灭杀前无显著差异（Ｐ＞０．０５）,高原鼢鼠显著增加（Ｐ＜０．０５）。人工大量捕杀高原鼢鼠,非围栏封育地区,高原鼠兔种群显著增加（Ｐ＜０．０５）。     

利用不育技术防治高原鼠兔的理论模型

高原鼠兔数量的激增加剧了高寒草甸的退化,采取化学灭杀的方法控制高原鼠兔,只能暂时降低高原鼠兔的数量,在较短的时间内种群又会恢复到原来的水平。本文从理论上探讨不育控制对高原鼠兔种群的影响,建立了具有性别结构的高原鼠兔种群的数学模型,探讨在不育控制中两性的不育率对种群动态的影响并比较不育控制与化学灭杀的区别。结果表明：不育控制比化学灭杀在抑制和消灭种群上都具有更好的效果;在不育控制中雌性的不育率具有更为重要的作用,所以在利用不育技术控制高原鼠兔时要特别注意雌性不育率。

青藏高原高寒草甸生态系统高原鼠兔种群调查及其防控阈值研究（英文）

认识高原鼠兔Ochotona curzoniae在草地退化中的角色和地位,对于加强高寒草甸生态系统高原鼠兔种群管理具有重要的意义。以高原鼠兔有效洞穴密度为调查对象,根据所调查的12个样地遴选出4个不同鼠洞等级的研究样地去评估鼠兔数量和植物生物量变化之间的关系。主要结论如下:高原鼠兔活动并非引起草地退化的原因,而是作为草地退化的标志性信号,然而高频度的鼠兔活动会加剧草地逆向演替的进程。因此,一些综合措施诸如减少牲畜数量、动态的轮牧、草地恢复管理技术、社区参与式管理等可以有效提高草地生产力和防止鼠害爆发。对各类型退化草地进行综合治理时,应加强对害鼠种群动态的监测,当种群密度超过经济阈值或达到高密度种群时,应急性、常规性灭鼠工作才可以实施,为重度型退化草地重建、植被恢复和土壤发育提供可能性。

高寒草甸生态系统优势鼠种高原鼢鼠(Myospalax baileyi)和高原鼠兔(Ochotona curzoniae)种群空间格局的研究

本文研究于1983年7—8月,1985年8—10月期间,在中国科学院高寒草甸生态系统定位站进行。应用概率分布的方法研究小哺乳动物的种群空间格局,取得了与实际观察相吻合的结果。这项工作将为定量描述哺乳动物种群数量的空间配置做出尝试。 主要结果为: 1.高原鼢鼠和高原鼠兔(以下简称鼢鼠,鼠兔)的空间格局适合负二项分布,截尾负二项分布。 2.鼢鼠在空间的聚集强度高于鼠兔。 3.鼢鼠在高寒草甸和灌丛中的聚块面积分别为0.75公顷和1公顷以上;鼠兔均为0.5公顷。 4.大雪后(低密度鼠兔种群),鼠兔的空间格局呈随机分布,鼢鼠的格局不变,聚集强度均有下降。 5.两种动物空间分布总体上呈正相关,低密度样本与此相同;高密度样本为负相关。     

高原鼠兔和高原鼢鼠种群暴发区干扰斑块空间分布格局与演替规律

高原鼠兔(Ochotona curzoniae)和高原鼢鼠(Myospalax baileyi)是两种在高寒草甸广泛分布的小型哺乳动物,其暴发活动可能造成高寒草甸的严重退化。使用无人机分别拍摄典型的高原鼠兔和高原鼢鼠种群暴发区图像,解译高原鼠兔洞口、高原鼢鼠土丘和它们的干扰斑块,获得干扰斑块的周长和面积信息,计算干扰斑块形状指标,确定高原鼠兔与高原鼢鼠暴发活动对高寒草甸的影响。研究表明：(1)高原鼠兔与高原鼢鼠暴发活动形成的干扰斑块周长与面积比(PARA)、形状指数(SHAPE)和分形维数(FRAC)差异显著(P<0.05),其中高原鼢鼠斑块的FRAC是1.0124±0.0091,属于普通的规则几何圆形分布格局,高原鼠兔斑块的FRAC是1.1203±0.0546,属于分形几何不规则的分布格局。(2)高原鼠兔洞口数量与其斑块面积没有线性相关关系(P=0.9677),高原鼢鼠土丘数量与其斑块面积呈显著正相关(P<0.05)。(3)高原鼢鼠斑块面积统计学上呈长尾分布,不符合正态分布(P<0.01)。根据高原鼠兔斑块面积分布格局可将斑块演替分为三个阶段：土丘形成阶段、斑块连通...     

高寒草甸生态系统中高原鼠兔和高原鼢鼠的捕食风险及生存对策

调查青藏高原高寒草甸生态系统中两种主要啮齿动物及其天敌动物的种群密度,分析天敌动物对两种啮齿类的捕食方式、捕食强度,探讨啮齿类动物的捕食风险及生存对策。研究结果表明,高原鼠兔和高原鼢鼠的种群密度分别为4．97只／hm^2和10．6只／hm^2,而它们的主要天敌赤狐、艾虎和香鼬的种群密度分别为0．16只／100hm^2、0．37只／100hm^2、3只／100hm^2。艾虎和香鼬在取食过程中主要搜寻啮齿类的洞道系统,全部食物几乎都来源于洞道系统内;赤狐或取食地面活动的鼠兔,或挖掘洞口待高原鼢鼠封闭洞口时取食猎物。高原鼠兔在赤狐、艾虎和香鼬的食物中所出现的频次分别为100％、96．1％、100％,高原鼢鼠在3种天敌动物的食物中所出现的频次分别为87．5％、73．2％、0％。3种天敌动物对高原鼠兔和高原鼢鼠的捕食强度分别为0．703％和0．038％,高原鼠兔和高原鼢鼠所承受的捕食风险分别为0．780和0．393。高原鼠兔在高的捕食风险下通过行为对策和繁殖对策增加其适合度,而承受捕食风险较小的高原鼢鼠主要通过封闭的洞道系统和高的存活率增加其适合度。     

高原鼢鼠对戊巴比妥钠的麻醉反应

为了解高原鼢鼠Eospalax baileyi对植物次生代谢物的解毒能力,比较分析了戊巴比妥钠对高原鼢鼠和高原鼠兔Ochotona curzoniae产生的麻醉时间,及连续注射戊巴比妥钠对实验室内高原鼢鼠麻醉时间的影响过程。研究显示,在野外状态下,雌、雄高原鼢鼠的麻醉时间分别为134.23 min±27.73 min和121.14 min±35.23 min,雌、雄高原鼠兔的麻醉时间分别为90.92 min±31.10 min和116.37 min±37.13 min。统计分析表明,高原鼢鼠的麻醉时间显著长于高原鼠兔(P0.05),意味着高原鼢鼠的解毒能力弱于高原鼠兔,这可能与有毒植物在高原鼠兔食物中所占比例较大有关。在实验室条件下,雌、雄高原鼢鼠麻醉时间均有明显的波动,显示麻醉剂对高原鼢鼠的解毒能力有一定的诱导作用。此外,雌、雄高原鼢鼠之间麻醉时间的变化过程差别较大,这可能与两种性别的高原鼢鼠个体对新环境的应激行为明显不同有关。

Post‐fire recovery of revegetated woodland communities in south‐eastern Australia

The primary goal of restoration is to create self‐sustaining ecological communities that are resilient to periodic disturbance. Currently, little is known about how restored communities respond to disturbance events such as fire and how this response compares to remnant vegetation. Following the 2003 fires in south‐eastern Australia we examined the post‐fire response of revegetation plantings and compared this to remnant vegetation. Ten burnt and 10 unburnt (control) sites were assessed for each of three types of vegetation (direct seeding revegetation, revegetation using nursery seedlings (tubestock) and remnant woodland). Sixty sampling sites were surveyed 6 months after fire to quantify the initial survival of mid‐ and overstorey plant species in each type of vegetation. Three and 5 years after fire all sites were resurveyed to assess vegetation structure, species diversity and vigour, as well as indicators of soil function. Overall, revegetation showed high (>60%) post‐fire survival, but this varied among species depending on regeneration strategy (obligate seeder or resprouter). The native ground cover, mid‐ and overstorey in both types of plantings showed rapid recovery of vegetation structure and cover within 3 years of fire. This recovery was similar to the burnt remnant woodlands. Non‐native (exotic) ground cover initially increased after fire, but was no different in burnt and unburnt sites 5 years after fire. Fire had no effect on species richness, but burnt direct seeding sites had reduced species diversity (Simpson's Diversity Index) while diversity was higher in burnt remnant woodlands. Indices of soil function in all types of vegetation had recovered to levels found in unburnt sites 5 years after fire. These results indicate that even young revegetation (stands <10 years old) showed substantial recovery from disturbance by fire. This suggests that revegetation can provide an important basis for restoring woodland communities in the fire‐prone Australian environment.     

The role of remnant trees in carbon sequestration,vegetation structure and tree diversity of early succession regrowing fallows in eastern Sierra Leone

Remnant tree presence affects forest recovery after slash‐and‐burn agriculture. However, little is known about its effect on above‐ground carbon stocks, especially in Africa. We focused our study on Sierra Leone, part of the Upper Guinean forests, an important centre of endemism threatened by encroachment and forest degradation. We studied 99 (20‐m‐radius) plots aged 2–10 years with and without remnant trees and compared their above‐ground carbon stocks, vegetation structure (stem density, basal area) and tree diversity. Above‐ground carbon stocks, stem density, basal area, species richness and tree diversity increased significantly with fallow age. Remnant tree presence affected significantly tree diversity, species dominance and above‐ground carbon stocks, but not vegetation structure (stem density, basal area). Number of remnant trees and number of species of remnant trees were also important explanatory variables. Although other factors should be considered in future studies, such as the size and dispersal modes of remnant trees, our results highlight that more strategic inclusion of remnant trees is likely to favour carbon stock and forest recovery in old fallows. To our knowledge, this is the first study on early succession regrowing fallows in West Africa.     

When is translocation required for the population recovery of old‐growth epiphytes in a reforested landscape?

It is often assumed that species recolonization follows from the restoration of key habitat structure. Thus, forest restoration focuses on the recovery of trees into deforested landscapes, so that a multitude of associated organisms can achieve “colonization credit” and recolonize from remnant source populations into restored habitat. This opportunity for recolonization exists because species vulnerable to habitat loss may experience an “extinction debt,” during which their remnant populations decline only slowly to equilibrium with a deforested landscape. These persistent but declining populations become propagule sources for recolonization. To test limits to “colonization credit,” this study focused on old‐growth dependent lichen epiphytes, using a simulation to identify a hypothetical threshold at which: (1) the number of remnant populations, and (2) their population sizes, are too low to achieve recolonization and population recovery, despite efforts placed into forest restoration. The results show that for a landscape scenario relevant to the industrialized temperate zone, with less than 5% of old‐growth forest remaining, and ambitions for restoration to circa 10–15% forest cover, there is a failure to achieve population recovery over long timescales (i.e. within 600 years), making translocation a necessary option. This delay represents a “colonization deficit” that may be a common feature in ecological restoration more generally.     

Palau’s coral reefs show differential habitat recovery following the 1998-bleaching event

Documenting successional dynamics of coral communities following large-scale bleaching events is necessary to predict coral population responses to global climate change. In 1998, high sea surface temperatures and low cloud cover in the western Pacific Ocean caused high coral mortality on the outer exposed reefs of Palau (Micronesia), while coral mortality in sheltered bays was low. Recovery was examined from 2001 to 2005 at 13 sites stratified by habitat (outer reefs, patch reefs and bays) and depth (3 and 10 m). Two hypotheses were tested: (1) rates of change of coral cover vary in accordance with habitat, and (2) recovery rates depend on recruitment. Coral cover increased most in the sheltered bays, despite a low recruitment rate, suggesting that recovery in bays was primarily a consequence of remnant regrowth. Recruitment densities were consistently high on the wave-exposed reefs, particularly the western slopes, where recovery was attributed to both recruitment and regrowth of remnants. Recovery was initially more rapid at 10 m than 3 m on outer reefs, but in 2004, recovery rates were similar at both depths. Rapid recovery was possible because Palau’s coral reefs were buffered by remnant survival and recruitment from the less impacted habitats.     

青藏高原东缘红桦-岷江冷杉次生林中大径级保留木对其他林木的影响

为了研究森林采伐后保留木在次生群落恢复过程中对其他林木的影响, 采用Hegyi单木竞争指数(CI)和标记相关点格局k_d(r)函数对4 hm ²红桦-岷江冷杉(Betula albosinensis-Abies faxoniana)次生林样地中大径级保留木与其他林木的空间关系进行了分析。结果表明: 1)优势树种红桦(Betula albosinensis)与岷江冷杉(Abies faxoniana)的种间、种内竞争中, 种间Hegyi单木竞争指数(CI) (2.484) >红桦种内CI (1.711) >岷江冷杉种内CI (1.548); 2)大径级保留木与其他径级林木间的竞争指数中, 红桦大径级保留木与红桦小树的竞争指数最大, 红桦大径级保留木与岷江冷杉小树、岷江冷杉大径级保留木与红桦小树和岷江冷杉小树这三组的竞争指数之间无显著差异, 且三者的值最小; 3)在14.5-15.5 m尺度上, 红桦大径级保留木与岷江冷杉幼树呈显著的空间正关联; 在6.5-7.5 m的尺度上, 岷江冷杉大径级保留木与岷江冷杉幼树呈显著的空间负关联; 0-100 m尺度上, 岷江冷杉幼苗(树龄≥4年)与两种大径级保留木均呈相互独立的空间关系。     

Sequential production of two biopolymers-levan and poly-ε-lysine by microbial fermentation

Sequential fermentation for the production of two invaluable biopolymers, levan and poly-ε-lysine (ε-PL), has been successfully developed. It involves fermentation of Bacillus subtilis (natto) Takahashi in sucrose medium to produce levan, separation of levan product from small remaining sugar molecules by ultrafiltration and fermentation of the remnant from levan production by Streptomyces albulus to produce ε-PL. In the process, 50-60 g/L of levan was produced (100% recovery after precipitation by ethanol). The remnant from levan production with glucose adjusted to 30 g/L and with combined use of yeast extract (10 g/L), (NH₄)₂SO₄ (2 g/L) and basal salts was proven to be suitable for ε-PL production. 4.37 g/L of ε-PL accumulation (85% recovery after purification) was reached in 72 h using two-stage fermentation with control of pH. The process of using remnant (waste) from levan fermentation for the second biopolymer (ε-PL) production is unprecedented and the products obtained are environmental-friendly.     

Environmental and socioeconomic drivers of woody vegetation recovery in a human‐modified landscape in the Rio Grande basin (Colombian Andes)

In the tropics, some agricultural lands are abandoned for economic or technical reasons, leading to the recovery of woody vegetation. Our research aimed to identify the main drivers of spontaneous recovery of vegetation in a basin located in the Colombian Andes. This was done by combining spatially explicit environmental and socioeconomic variables at landscape (e.g. distances to human settlements, to roads, and to forests and mean annual precipitation) and local scales (e.g. depth of the organic layer, soil bulk density, and canopy openness). These variables were measured in 28 temporal plots of 500 m² each, established in land cover transitions that showed the recovery of woody vegetation. The recovered woody vegetation between 1986 and 2012 exhibited a gregarious spatial pattern at the landscape scale. Ordination analysis showed distinct floristic composition among transitions and remnant forests, and species associated to each one through an indicator species analysis. Multivariate analyses revealed the relationship between the transitions and variables at both scales. Woody vegetation recovery occurred near remnant forests and far from human settlements at the landscape scale. The soil conditions (content and depth of the organic horizon and bulk density) were the main drivers at the local scale. Our findings also highlight the necessity to define different restoration approaches such as incorporation of sites where socioeconomic and environmental conditions favor the spontaneous recovery of vegetation into the existing network of protected areas in the region, and to implement active restoration projects in perturbed sites to accelerate the recovery process of Andean forests.     

Permeability of polyethylene glycol in remnant small bowel after massive intestinal resection

Studies were designed to determine if permeability of adapted (remnant) small bowel mucosa to polyethylene glycol (PEG) was altered after major intestinal resection. Rats underwent 50% small bowel resection with preservation of duodenum and terminal ileum. Sham-operated animals served as controls. Two and four weeks later we cannulated the portal vein and measured mucosal permeability to luminal [3H]PEG and [14C]PEG in isotonic Ringer solution in remnant proximal or distal in situ closed intestinal loops. A lumen-to-portal blood gradient of at least 1000/1 persisted throughout the one-hour experimental period in both resected and sham-operated animals. Thus the adapted remnant intestinal mucosa was highly impermeable to luminal radiotracer PEG. In separate experiments 2 and 4 weeks after 70% small bowel resection or sham operation, in vivo segments of proximal and distal small intestinal were perfused through the lumen for one hour with hypertonic (800 mOsm) mannitol or NaCl solution containing [3H]PEG. There was equal and almost total recovery of [3H]PEG at the end of the experimental period in resected and control animals. The combined data of all experiments indicate that radiotracer PEG may be confidently used as a luminal water phase marker in transport studies of remnant bowel following intestinal resection.     

Inoculation with remnant prairie soils increased the growth of three native prairie legumes but not necessarily their associations with beneficial soil microbes

Restoring the diversity of plant species found in remnant communities is a challenge for restoration practitioners, in part because many reintroduced plant species fail to establish in restored sites. Legumes establish particularly poorly, perhaps because they depend on two guilds of soil microbial mutualists, rhizobial bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, that may be absent from restored sites. We tested the effect of soil microorganisms from remnant and restored prairies on legume growth by inoculating seedlings of Lespedeza capitata, Amorpha canescens, and Dalea purpurea with soil from 10 restored prairies and 6 remnant (untilled) prairies from southwest Michigan. We generally found support for the hypothesis that restored prairie soils lack microbes that enhance prairie plant growth, although there was variation across species and mutualist guilds. All three legumes grew larger and two legumes (Lespedeza and Amorpha) produced more nodules when inoculated with soil from remnant prairies, suggesting that low quantity and/or quality of rhizobial partners may limit the establishment of those species in restored prairies. In contrast, no legume experienced greater root colonization by AM fungi in remnant prairie soils, suggesting equivalent quantity (but not necessarily quality) of fungal partners in remnant and restored prairie soils. We detected no evidence of spontaneous recovery of the community of beneficial soil microbes in restorations. These results suggest that the absence of rhizobia, a largely overlooked component of prairie soils, could play a strong role in limiting restored prairie diversity by hindering legume establishment. Active reintroduction of appropriate rhizobial strains could enhance prairie restoration outcomes.
