History of the Crested Lark in the Mediterranean region as revealed by mtDNA sequences and morphology

The Crested Lark has a very complex taxonomy, partly as a result of a strong variation in plumage ground color seemingly linked with environmental factors. However, large variations in body size and bill shape further complicate the situation in the Maghreb. In this paper, we first present a set of hypotheses to explain patterns of morphological variation around the Mediterranean Sea. A phylogeographical analysis covering all major biogeographical areas in the species' range is then performed to test these scenarios. Three mtDNA groups with distinct geographical distribution were identified. The randonii clade (= G. (c.) randonii) is endemic from central Maghreb and is phylogenetically basal relative to cristata and senegallensis. These two latter groups are much more widespread. The cristata clade is found in NW Morocco, throughout Europe and W Asia and in NE Africa, while senegallensis regroups the populations sampled in the Western Sub-Saharan Africa and in NE Maghreb (E Algeria, Tunisia). A combination of genetic and paleoenvironmental evidences supports a scenario of allopatric differentiation of these two lineages outside the Maghreb, with subsequent range expansion leading to their secondary presence in the Maghreb. However, the alternative hypothesis of differentiation in two, or even three separate Maghreb refuges cannot be completely dismissed with the present data. Interestingly, the Sahara desert and the Gibraltar Strait did not act as permanent barriers to dispersal in this species. In addition, the populations in the Maghreb are consistently longer-billed than their closest relatives, suggesting a role for natural selection or phenotypic plasticity.     

朱鹮冬季觅食地的选择

在无线电遥测的基础上 ,采用样方法对朱冬季觅食地进行了调查。朱冬季觅食地有冬水田、河流浅滩和水库 3种类型。成鸟与幼鸟的主要觅食地类型及分布有明显的差别 ,位于海拔 6 0 0～ 10 0 0m的低山区冬水田是朱成鸟冬季最重要的觅食地 ,幼鸟多在汉江流域的河流及浅滩中觅食。对冬水田的主要栖息地特征的方差分析和因子分析的结果表明 :影响朱冬季觅食地选择的主要因子为觅食地的海拔高度、开阔度、面积及人类活动的干扰程度等。冬水田的恢复及保护对朱的保护有着重要的意义     

陕西洋县朱鹮活动区的鸟类

1999年 1月至 2 0 0 2年 1月 ,在陕西省洋县进行朱研究过程中 ,对当地鸟类进行了长期、系统的观察 ,记录到鸟类 1 6目 48科 1 1 6属 ,共 2 0 1种     

朱鹮线粒体DNA的分子系统发育

朱Huan是一种濒危鸟类。过度开发和栖息地的破坏导致了朱Huan日本种群的绝灭,而在中国目前也仅存一野生种群。本文利用NJ法和最大简约法分析了鹳形目鸟类977bp的线粒体DNA细胞色素b基因的部分序列,以期从DNA水平上阐明朱Huan的系统地位。结果表明,朱Huan与彩Huan和非洲琶鹭组成一姐妹群;NJ法分析得出的结果与DNA杂交分析结果一致,即((Huan科,鹭科),鹳科);而最大简约法分析的结果则与形态学结果一致,即((鹭科,鹳科),Huan科)。同时,这两种系统树上较低的置信度,认为部分是由于可用细胞色素b基因序列的有限所致。     

四川梅花鹿春季昼夜活动节律与时间分配

1997年4月,在四川铁布自然保护区用直接观察法对220头次四川梅花鹿群的昼夜活动节律和时间分配进行了观察。结果表明,鹿群春季昼夜活动的规律性较强。白昼,鹿群活动呈现明显的双峰型,2个高峰时段为08：30和19：30前后,活动频率分别为71．9％和94．13％,其他时间多处于休息状态;鹿群夜间活动强于昼间,活动频率均在6l％以上,仅在半夜01：30前后有一个相对不活跃期。同时发现,春季活动高峰期约90％的活动时间被四川梅花鹿用于采食和移动。这可能与光照、食物及人类活动的影响有关。     

朱鹮幼雏大肠杆菌病的病理组织学观察

对一例大肠杆菌病死亡的5日龄朱鹮进行了系统的病理组织学观察。结果发现：肺内小静脉充血、出血,肺间质有大量的炎性细胞浸润。肝脏血管有“血管套”现象,肝细胞变性、坏死。肾小管上皮细胞变性、坏死,肾内炎性细胞浸润。心肌间隔增宽,肌纤维断裂。脑中有“卫星化”和“嗜神经”现象。小脑蒲肯野氏细胞肿胀。各段消化管上皮均有不同程度的轻微脱落和局部炎性细胞浸润。胰腺、气管无明显变化。     

应用资源选择函数研究朱Huan的巢址选择

本文介绍了资源选择函数的原理与方法,并分析了朱Huan(Nipponia nippon)的巢址选择。我们将上述结果与主成分分析的结果进行了比较,发展两种方法都显示水田面积,营巢树高度,海拔高度和人类干扰程度对朱Huan巢址选择有较大影响,而巢向,巢上郁闭度,坡向和坡度对朱Huan影响较小。然而,两种方法也有明显的差异,资源选择函数显示营巢地的坡位非常重要,而主成分分析显示植被密度比较重要。分析表明资源选择函数更好地反映了多种生境因素对朱Huan巢址选择的影响,本文探讨了应用资源选择函数所必须注意的对照样方选择和参数的独立性问题,并提出了对朱Huan保护工作的建议。     

Habitat evaluation for crested ibis: A GIS-based approach

We evaluated habitat quality for crested ibis (Nipponia nippon) using a geographic information system (GIS). First, we digitized the topography map, vegetation map, river map, road map and villages/towns map by ArcInfo, and gave each map layer a suitability index based on our perceptions of the needs of crested ibis. Second, we overlayed these maps to obtain an integrated map of habitat quality. Finally, we compared the calculated habitat quality with the actual distribution of crested ibis. We found that the birds were almost always located at the site of high quality (habitat suitability index [HSI]>0.6), which indicated that the factors we selected were important for crested ibis. We also found that crested ibis were never located at some sites of high quality, thus, we assume that other factors not considered in this study limit the distribution of crested ibis. Regression analysis indicated that crested ibis preferred lower elevation habitats and tolerated higher levels of human disturbance in recent years than previously reported. These results reflected a 20-year protection program for this species.     

中国大陆梅花鹿mtDNA控制区序列变异及种群遗传结构分析

测定了37只中国大陆梅花鹿(Cervus nippon)不同种群mtDNA控制区5′端351 bp的序列，共发现23个变异位点，定义了5种单元型。分子变异分析表明，中国大陆梅花鹿出现了显著的种群分化(Φm＝0．45，Fst＝0．60，P＜0．001)，支持把分布于东北、华南和四川的梅花鹿种群归入各自独立的管理单元。中国大陆、日本南部和日本北部之间无共享单元型，且有25个鉴别位点。最小跨度网络图(Minimum spannlng network，MSN)和基于最大似然法和邻接法的系统发生分析均把单元型聚类为对应于中国大陆、日本南部和日本北部的三个单系，其中中国大陆和日本南部梅花鹿有相对较近的亲缘关系，支持日本梅花鹿的祖先通过至少两个大陆桥从亚洲迁移到日本的观点。
