自由生活海洋线虫Chromadorina sp.的生活史研究

线虫种类繁多、分布广泛、数量极丰富,已鉴定的种类有2万多种,据估计其种类约在4万至1千万种之间。秀丽隐杆线虫（Caenorhabditis elegans）因易于培养、生活周期短、细胞结构简单等,被广泛地用作生物学和毒理学研究的模式生物。1990年,Williams等将C．elegans应用于水域、土壤环境的毒理学研究中,Tominaga等提出了以C．elegans为模式生物筛选苯酚类和合成激素毒性和激素活性大小的简便实验系统。[第一段]

昆虫病原线虫rDNA多态性分析

本文对国内外昆虫病原线虫斯氏属和异小杆属的47个品系进行rDNA-ITS PCR-RFLP分析,研究其DNA多态性,并构建了分子系统发育树状图.各品系的ITS区无明显的长度差异,PCR-RFLP分析将47个品系分为斯氏属和异小杆属两大类,两属线虫又分别分为11组和4组.所得结果丰富了ITSPCR-RFLP图谱库,为弄清我国的昆虫病原线虫与国外种类的分子系统发育关系及未定名线虫的鉴定提供重要依据,同时为筛选适合的线虫种类防治害虫奠定基础.     

食细菌线虫Caenorhabditis elegans的取食偏好性

通过设置平板培养试验,以模式种线虫 Caenorhabditis elegans 为材料,观察了食细菌线虫的取食行为。结果表明：C. elegans 在取食细菌时对原位土壤中分离的一种Pseudomonas sp细菌存在最大的取食偏好性。这种取食偏好性表现在大部分C. elegans 在24 h内都直接朝Pseudomonas sp迁移,说明C. elegans能通过某种机制识别Pseudomonas sp。距离迁移试验及C. elegans迁移率表明它可能是通过辨别细菌所发出的气味识别它喜欢的食物。C. elegans的繁殖率跟其取食的偏好性是相关的,在迁移率较高的细菌培养基中线虫表现出更高的繁殖率。结果还表明：相对于G+细菌而言, C. elegans 偏好取食G-细菌。为进一步了解土壤生态系统中食细菌线虫与细菌群落结构间相互关系提供了帮助。

Comparing Species Assemblages Via Species Accumulation Curves

Summary Comparing species assemblages given incidence‐based data is of importance in ecological studies, often done by a visual inspection of estimated species accumulation curves or by an ad hoc use of 95% pointwise confidence bands of these curves. It is shown that comparing species assemblages is a challenging problem. A χ² test is proposed. An adjustment using an eigenvalue decomposition is proposed to overcome computational difficulties. The bootstrap method is also suggested to approximate the distribution of the proposed test statistic. The eigenvalue adjusted (Eva) χ² test and the Eva‐bootstrap test are assessed by a simulation study. Both the Eva‐χ² and the Eva‐bootstrap tests are applied to a study that involves two woody seedling species assemblages.     

蜘蛛与蜘蛛、蜘蛛与猎物之间的信息联系机制

作为农林生态系统中首要的捕食性节肢动物的蜘蛛,只有单眼和听毛,并没有复眼和听器。因而在一定的距离之外,蜘蛛要高效、成功寻觅其理想的猎物,仅仅凭视觉、触觉、听觉均无法实现和完成这一功能。因此,蜘蛛的嗅觉即化学通信于蜘蛛种间和种内的信息联系中扮演着举足轻重的角色,现已有大量的研究用行为学的方法证明蜘蛛与猎物之间,蜘蛛与蜘蛛之间能够通过信息化学物质进行信息联系,但蜘蛛的嗅觉即化学信息素的释放与接收机制以及信息素的结构成份等方面的研究甚少,有待进一步深人。对蜘蛛与猎物之间,蜘蛛与蜘蛛之间的信息化学联系机制的研究进展做一综述。     

Species monophyly

In biological systematics, as well as in the philosophy of biology, species and higher taxa are individuated through their unique evolutionary origin. This is taken by some authors to mean that monophyly is a (relational) property not only of higher taxa, but also of species. A species is said to originate through speciation, and to go extinct when it splits into two daughter species (or through terminal extinction). Its unique evolutionary origin is said to bestow identity on a species through time and change, and to render species names rigid designators. Species names are thus believed to function just like names of supraspecific taxa. However, large parts of the Web of Life are composed of species that do not have a unique evolutionary origin from a single population, lineage or stem-species. Further, monophyly is an ambiguous concept if it is defined simply in terms of 'unique evolutionary origin'. Disambiguating the concept by defining a monophyletic taxon as 'a taxon that includes the ancestor and all, and only, its descendant' renders monophyly inapplicable to species. At the heart of the problem lies a fundamental distinction between species and monophyletic taxa, where species form mutually exclusive reticulated systems, while higher taxa form inclusive hierarchical systems. Examples are given both at the species level and below to illustrate the problems that result from the application of the monophyly criterion to species. The conclusion is that the concepts of exclusivity and monophyly should be treated as non-overlapping: exclusivity marks out a species synchronistically, i.e. in the present time. Monophyly marks out clades (groups of species) diachronistically, i.e. within an historical dimension.     

Species orthogonalization

We discuss the general formation of complementary behaviors, functions and forms in biological species competing for resources. We call orthogonalization the related processes on macro and micro-level of a self-organized formation of correlations in the species properties. Orthogonalization processes could be, for example, easily observed in sympatric speciation, as we show in numerical studies carried out with a new population equation. As a practical result, we find that the number of species is proportional to the effective richness of resources and depends on their history.
