空间结构对捕食关系影响研究进展

随着人类对环境影响的加剧(如空间破碎化),生态系统的空间结构发生了剧烈变化,极大地改变了生态系统的结构和功能.空间结构对生态系统的影响与捕食关系的改变密切相关,探讨两者之间的联系对于了解破碎生境生态变化的机制至关重要.基于此,本文就典型空间结构对捕食关系的影响进行了论述,包括空间大小、形状、方向、布局和连通性等.资料表明,空间变小、连通性降低、空间及集合群落过度破碎化、空间方向和形状变化等导致捕食成功率过度增长,都不利于猎物-捕食者系统的稳定和持续.关于简单空间构型耦合形成的复杂空间结构对捕食关系,尤其是对多物种共存的复杂捕食关系的影响有待在今后的研究中进一步加强.     

Rapid learning of shelter position in an intertidal fish, the shanny Lipophrys pholis L.

The homing ability of an intertidal fish, the shanny Lipophrys pholis , was investigated using two experiments that were based on the shanny's natural propensity to home to a refuge. A displacement experiment demonstrated that the fish were able to accurately locate the previous position of a refuge once the shelter itself had been removed so that it could not be used as a cue to directly signal the goal location. This shows that the shanny can encode information about its familiar surroundings into a spatial map and use this information to home. A second experiment in which the cues internal and external to the experimental tank were put in conflict with one another suggested that the shanny can encode cues that are both intra- and external-tank cues in its representation of space, but that there is individual variation in the type of cues that are used, or memorized.     

空间分析方法在微生物生态学研究中的应用

微生物生态正在受到越来越多的关注,对其研究也渐趋深入。然而由于微生物个体微小的特点及研究手段的限制,多数研究还停留在探索阶段,研究方法也在不断完善当中。近年来,较多的研究开始探讨空间因素在微生物多样性和分布中的影响,对空间分布的探讨有助于更好地认识生态过程,是一种有力的研究手段。微生物空间分析方法已经成为微生物生态学领域中重要的研究方向之一,我国空间方法在微生物生态研究中的应用还没有得到普遍的重视。从不同研究角度出发,结合空间统计的作用,对空间统计方法在微生物生态研究中的应用的必要性及现状做了评述。介绍了空间自相关性的检验,方差图,Mantel检验,Kriging插值等方法在微生物生态研究中的应用,并论述了微生物研究中的尺度问题。这一梳理,对丰富微生物生态学研究中的新方法、新手段具有一定价值。     

基于相邻木排列关系的混交度研究

混交度是反映森林群落中树种相互隔离状况的一个重要指标,目前已提出多种混交度指数.Mg考虑了对象木与最近相邻木的树种异同,Mv和Ms进一步考虑了最近相邻木(空间结构单元)树种数,但仍不能准确描述树种隔离程度.基于相邻木排列关系的混交度Mp,利用“1+4”结构的17个不同空间结构单元和天目山常绿阔叶林数据对Mg、Mv、Ms和Mp4个混交度进行了比较分析.结果表明:Mp的区分能力最强,Mv和Ms次之,Mg最差.Mp最适用于分析混交结构复杂的林分.在天目山常绿阔叶林分析中,混交度水平为中度,4个最近邻体中有2个相同种顺序排列的空间结构单元个数明显多于交错排列的个数.基于相邻木排列关系的混交度Mp能准确区分树种隔离程度,提高了混交度的区分度,可反映森林实际混交状况.     

中国陆域地表人类活动与自然环境的空间关系研究

在人类活动主导人地矛盾的当代背景下,从空间关联角度测度人类活动与自然环境相互作用是推动区域可持续发展的基本前提。以2015年数据为基础,通过选取特征变量构建综合测度指标体系,利用小波多尺度分析、双变量局域空间自相关、人地系统耦合协调度模型等方法多层次刻画中国陆域地表人类活动与自然环境的空间相关关系、空间匹配关系、空间耦合关系。研究结果表明:①人类活动与自然地理基础的空间相关关系随着地域尺度增大而趋于增强,说明自然环境条件对人类活动格局的基础性作用;②人类活动与自然资源支撑的空间匹配关系呈现非均衡性特征,华北地区人类活动规模与自然资源支撑空间错位显著、区域可持续发展面临严峻挑战;③人类活动与自然环境承载的空间耦合协调度从东南向西北递减,调整人类活动的结构与方式是化解区域人地矛盾的理性选择。     

Detection and visualization of spatial genetic structure in continuous Eucalyptus globulus forest

Visualizing the pattern of variation using microsatellites within a Eucalyptus globulus forest on the island of Tasmania provided surprising insights into the complex nature of the fine-scale spatial genetic structure that resides in these forests. We used spatial autocorrelation and principal coordinate analysis to compare fine-scale genetic structure between juvenile and mature cohorts in a study area, 140 m in diameter, located within a typical, continuous E. globulus forest. In total, 115 juvenile and 168 mature individuals were genotyped with eight highly polymorphic microsatellite loci. There was no significant difference in the level of genetic diversity between cohorts. However, there were differences in the spatial distribution of the genetic variation. Autocorrelation analysis provided clear evidence for significant spatial genetic structure in the mature cohort and significant, but weaker, structure in the juvenile cohort. The spatial interpolation of principal coordinate axes, derived from ordination of the genetic distance matrix between individuals, revealed a spatially coherent family group which was evident in both cohorts. Direct comparison of the genetic structure within each cohort allowed visualization of a shift in the spatial distribution of genetic variation within the population of approximately 10 m. As the shift coincided with the direction of prevailing winds, it is hypothesized that this phenomenon is due to downwind dispersal of seeds and is indicative of the important role of prevailing winds in forcing eastward gene flow in these high-latitude forests.     

Less than eight (and a half) misconceptions of spatial analysis

Spatial analyses are indispensable analytical tools in biogeography and macroecology. In a recent Guest Editorial, Hawkins (Journal of Biogeography, 2012, 39 , 1–9) raised several issues related to spatial analyses. While we concur with some points, we here clarify those confounding (1) spatial trends and spatial autocorrelation, and (2) spatial autocorrelation in the response variable and in the residuals. We argue that recognizing spatial autocorrelation in statistical modelling is not only a crucial step in model diagnostics, but that disregarding it is essentially wrong.     

Local dispersal can facilitate coexistence in the presence of permanent spatial heterogeneity

Abstract In the presence of permanent spatial heterogeneity, local dispersal, especially short‐range dispersal, can facilitate coexistence by concentrating low‐density species in the areas where their rates of increase are higher. We present a framework for predicting the effects of local dispersal on coexistence for arbitrary forms of dispersal and arbitrary spatial patterns of environmental variation. Using the lottery model as an example, we find that local dispersal contributes to coexistence by enhancing the effects of environmental variation on scales longer than typical dispersal distances, which can be characterized solely by the variance of the dispersal kernel. Higher moments of the dispersal kernel are not important.     

应用空间点模式方法研究大兴安岭雷击火空间分布格局

林火空间分布格局的研究对于林火发生预测以及理解林火在森林景观变化过程中的作用具有重要的意义.运用空间点模式方法对大兴安岭地区1988～2005年间雷击火发生情况进行了统计分析进而确定雷击火空间分布情况,研究结果表明大兴安岭地区雷击火成聚集分布,并存在雷击火热点地区,其核心区地理坐标分别为123°06′E,52°20′N;123°41′E,51°34′N;124°08′E,50°48′N.     

山西植被空间格局及演替简

在ArcGIS软件中采集1984年和2005年山西植被类型的图形,得到山西群系、森林、灌丛、草本植被及栽培植被的图形及面积,用叠置分析和景观格局分析方法研究植被的空间分布及其演替、空间格局及其变化。森林在西南部相对集中分布,在西北角增加明显,它在山西植被中所占面积及比重都最小,最为破碎。油松林在山西森林中占优势,恢复森林主要是油松林、小叶杨林、辽东栎林。1984年灌丛的面积在植被中最大,所占比例也最高,超过50%,集中连片分布面积较大,但灌丛缩减迅速,主要在中南部,在山西植被中遭破坏最为严重。沙棘、虎榛子灌丛和黄栌、连翘灌丛对灌丛的影响最大。草本植被主要在北部减少,在中南部分散增加,更加破碎。白羊草草丛在山西草本植被中占优势,蒿、禾草草原和百里香、禾草草原变化最大。栽培植被明显增加,在植被中所占比重急剧增加,成为山西优势植被。森林、栽培植被分别增加24.3%、71.5%,而灌丛、草本植被却分别减少70.3%,15.6%,演替主要是人为因素造成的。     

小尺度海域空间评价单元划分技术研究——以福建省东山湾为例

科学合理的海域空间评价单元划分是各类海洋空间监测、评价、规划和管理的基础工作,对于保护海洋生态环境,实现海洋资源的可持续开发利用具有重大现实意义。然而,海洋的流动性、开放性、边界模糊性等特征,导致海洋空间评价单元划分较陆地而言更为复杂、困难。以福建省东山湾为例,提出一种适用于小尺度海域的空间评价单元划分技术方案,通过从化学属性、物理属性、生物学属性三个方面构建海域空间生态属性划分指标体系,进行空间分类评价,运用插值、叠加分析等GIS技术将东山湾划分为67个基本空间评价单元。研究结果不仅能为进一步划定东山湾海洋空间规划提供技术支持,同时为其他小尺度海域生态监测、评价、规划和管理提供科学参考。     

Spatial Pattern of Phomopsis Cane and Leaf Spot Symptoms in Commercial Vineyards in Ohio

Spatial patterns of incidence of Phomopsis cane and leaf spot were examined using 57 data sets obtained from a statewide survey of grape vineyards in Ohio from 2002–2004. To characterize small‐scale patterns at the vine scale or below, discrete‐distributional analyses were used to quantify the heterogeneity of disease incidence within vineyards. The number of diseased leaves and internodes (out of 15) per sampling unit was better fitted by the beta‐binomial than the binomial distribution in 67% and 91% of the cases, respectively. The index of aggregation was significantly >1 for 78% and 98% of the cases for diseased leaves and internodes, respectively. These results indicated aggregation of this disease at an individual vine scale (or lower). Conversely, there was little evidence of aggregation at scales larger than a vine (e.g. disease foci extending beyond individual vines) for most vineyards based on Spatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs (SADIE). SADIE analysis suggested a random pattern of the count of diseased leaves and internodes in the majority (>86%) of the cases. Based on SADIE, there was significant (P ≤ 0.05) evidence of association between leaf and internode disease counts per vineyard in 75% of cases, indicating that the dispersal of inoculum from the previously infected wood tissues (canes) affected both leaf and internode in the same manner. In contrast, association of disease counts from one year to the next was only significant in approximately 15% of the cases, indicating the difficulty in predicting the level of disease in a section of a vineyard based on the previous year’s observations alone.     

辽东山区次生林乔木幼苗分布格局与种间空间关联性

在辽东山区次生林建立4 hm^2样地(200 m×200 m),研究0~50 m尺度范围内乔木幼苗分布格局及种间空间关联性.结果表明:在完全随机零模型下,0~20 m尺度上,95%的树种呈现聚集分布格局;0~16 m尺度上,19个树种呈现聚集分布;随着尺度的增加,聚集分布树种的比例逐渐减少,50 m尺度上,随机分布成为树种分布的主要形式;在异质性泊松过程零模型下,0~24 m尺度上,5%的树种呈现聚集分布,26~50 m尺度上,42%和58%的树种呈现随机和均匀分布.在完全随机零模型下,正相关树种对比例最高,且在50 m尺度下呈现正相关、负相关、无相关3种相关性的树种对比例相同;在异质性泊松过程零模型下,树种对主要呈现负相关,且随尺度增大,负相关的树种对比例逐渐升高.种子扩散限制和生境异质性在某种程度上解释了乔木幼苗的聚集分布格局,乔木幼苗强烈的聚集分布又促使种间空间关联性密切,更新群落稳定性较差.

人类群体遗传空间结构的"克立格"模型

通过将“克立格”技术应用于人类群体遗传学领域,构建了人类群体遗传空间结构的“克立格”模型,并论述了其原理和计算方法。以HLA-A基因座为例,应用“克立格”模型,定量分析了中国人群HLA-A基因座的空间遗传异质性;对HLA-A基因频率的空间数据矩阵进行了主成分分析,进而定义了人类群体遗传结构的综合遗传测度(SPC),绘制了综合遗传测度和主成分(PC)的“克立格”地图,分析了其群体遗传空间结构特性。与其他空间插值或平滑方法相比,人类群体遗传空间结构的“克立格”模型具有明显优点：1)“克立格”估计以空间遗传变异函数模型为基础,在绘制空间遗传结构地图之前,可利用变异函数模型定量分析所研究基因座(或多基因座)的空间遗传异质性;2)“克立格”插值方法是真正意义上的无偏估计模型,它利用待估区域周围的已知群体遗传调查点数据,并充分考虑调查点的空间影响范围,给出待估区域的最优估计值;3)“克立格”模型允许估计插值误差,这种插值误差既可用于评价空间估计效果,又可通过绘制误差地图指导在误差过高的地点增加新的群体遗传调查样本点,以优化估计效果。然而,人类群体遗传空间结构的“克立格”模型也存在一定缺点：1)若不能用任何理论遗传变异函数模型拟合观察遗传变异函数值,则不能建立“克立格”模型;2)若理论遗传变异函数的拟合优度很低,则据此建立的“克立格”模型的估计标准差在整个空间范围内会很大,此时“克立格”模型不适用于估计群体遗传空间结构。出现上述两种情形时,应选用不考虑空间相关性的空间随机插值方法绘制群体遗传结构地图,如基因绘图软件中的Cavalli-Sforza方法,反向距离加权法和条样函数插值法等。     

Spatial patterns and associations of four species in an old-growth temperate forest

The spatial pattern of a tree species is an important characteristic of plant communities, providing critical information to explain species coexistence. The spatial distribution and association of four different successional species were analyzed among different life-history stages in an old-temperate forest. Significant aggregation patterns were found, and the degree of aggregation decreased with the scales and life-history stages. Significant interspecific spatial associations were detected. In comparing the relationships among the different life-history stages, positive associations were found at small scales in all of the juvenile species pairs. In the adult stage, negative associations were detected in coniferous vs. deciduous species pairs, while the deciduous species pairs, which have identical resource requirements, showed a positive association in this study. The coniferous species pairs showed a positive association at small scales. We infer that seed dispersal, competitive ability, or the requirement for specific topographic and light environments may contribute to the coexistence of these species.
