Temporal Coherence of Chlorophyll a during a Spring Phytoplankton Bloom in Xiangxi Bay of Three‐Gorges Reservoir,China

Algal bloom phenomenon was defined as “the rapid growth of one or more phytoplankton species which leads to a rapid increase in the biomass of phytoplankton”, yet most estimates of temporal coherence are based on yearly or monthly sampling frequencies and little is known of how synchrony varies among phytoplankton or of the causes of temporal coherence during spring algal bloom. In this study, data of chlorophyll a and related environmental parameters were weekly gathered at 15 sampling sites in Xiangxi Bay of Three‐Gorges Reservoir (TGR, China) to evaluate patterns of temporal coherence for phytoplankton during spring bloom and test if spatial heterogeneity of nutrient and inorganic suspended particles within a single ecosystem influences synchrony of spring phytoplankton dynamics. There is a clear spatial and temporal variation in chlorophyll a across Xiangxi Bay. The degree of temporal coherence for chlorophyll a between pairs of sites located in Xiangxi Bay ranged from –0.367 to 0.952 with mean and median values of 0.349 and 0.321, respectively. Low levels of temporal coherence were often detected among the three stretches of the bay (Down reach, middle reach and upper reach), while high levels of temporal coherence were often found within the same reach of the bay. The relative difference of DIN between pair sites was the strong predictor of temporal coherence for chlorophyll a in down and middle reach of the bay, while the relative difference in Anorganic Suspended Solids was the important factor regulating temporal coherence in middle and upper reach. Contrary to many studies, these results illustrate that, in a small geographic area (a single reservoir bay of approximately 25 km), spatial heterogeneity influence synchrony of phytoplankton dynamics during spring bloom and local processes may override the effects of regional processes or dispersal.

球孢白僵菌两种施用方式对侵染桔小实蝇的影响及田间的防治效果

室内研究了球孢白僵菌Beauveria bassiana不同施用方式对侵染桔小实蝇Bactrocera dorsalis的影响,以及田间喷施球孢白僵菌防治桔小实蝇的效果。结果表明,两种诱集感染方式桔小实蝇成虫存活率分别为40%、41.7%,差异不显著;添加性引诱剂在白僵菌侵染桔小实蝇的过程中没有起到明显地促进感病的作用,只是缩短了病程,IIPC为0.41-0.44,说明两种诱集感染方式对桔实蝇成虫有一定的控制作用。三种施菌方式的桔小实蝇羽化率、成虫死亡率与对照差异均显著;以IIPC为评价指标,施菌方式对桔小实蝇各因子的影响大小顺序为：成虫存活率 >羽化率>化蛹率,其中以对成虫存活率的影响最大。应用化学防治和球孢白僵菌田间防治桔小实蝇的效果表明,施用2500倍40%毒死蜱效果最好,控制作用达到71.9%,其次是喷施2.0×108孢子/mL球孢白僵菌孢子悬浮液,防效达46.9%,施用2500倍4.5%高效氯氰菊酯防治效果达最差, 防效仅37.5%。     

林木树干呼吸变化及其影响因素研究进展

树干呼吸是森林生态系统碳平衡的重要组成部分,它每年消耗碳同化总量(NPP)的11%~33%。受测定技术所限,过去对树干呼吸的研究未能引起足够的重视。近十几年来,由于大气CO₂温室气体浓度的持续升高,树干呼吸已成为研究的热点。测定树干呼吸的方法较多,早期一般采用气体交换法和密闭方法,最近利用便携式光合测定系统(Li-Cor6400)或土壤碳通量测量系统(Li-8100)对树干呼吸采用开路系统测定方法。大量研究结果表明: 1)树干呼吸的日变化呈双峰型曲线,即从早晨开始,树干呼吸速率随温度的上升而增加,到午间有所降低,之后逐渐增加,达到峰值后又逐渐降低。2)树干呼吸的季节动态为:生长季的树干呼吸速率明显高于非生长季,即从春季到夏季树干呼吸速率呈持续升高态势,高峰值出现在7或8月,尔后逐渐下降。树干呼吸活动是一个复杂的生物学过程,其影响因子较多。直接影响因子有气象因子(如温度、湿度和CO₂浓度)和生物因子(如树种、树龄、径阶、边材积和树干氮含量等);而纬度、海拔和地形因子通过影响气象因子或生物因子而间接影响树干呼吸。诸多因子中,树干温度对树干呼吸的贡献最大(Q₁₀可描述树干呼吸对温度升高的敏感性)。树干呼吸机理及其影响因子乃是今后研究的主要内容,一方面要采用统一的测量方法和技术,另一方面要综合考虑影响树干呼吸的内外因素,建立树干呼吸的相关模型,为构建森林生态系统碳循环模型、了解森林生态系统碳收支状况及其对大气CO₂浓度变化的贡献和对全球变化的响应提供理论依据。

在高温季节(6～9月),采用人工控温的方法,通过注射外源激素hCG和CPE,对日本鳗鲡进行了催熟试验.结果表明,在人工控制温度(18±2℃)条件下,雌性和雄性日本鳗鲡均可达到性成熟,诱导成熟率分别为73.33%和67.77%,而常温条件下(25～32℃)的诱导成熟率分别为0和33.33%.同时对控温条件下诱导成熟的部分雌性鳗鲡进行了催产,其排卵率为70%,受精率为32%,均接近或达到了低温季节相应的指标(平均分别为62.1%和3.2%).对胚胎发育过程也进行了观察,受精卵能正常发育,在22和2℃下,分别经过39 h 15 min和3 h 9 min孵化出膜.试验证明,在高温季节采用人工控温的方法诱导日本鳗鲡性成熟是可能的.     

Controlling Factors and Pollution Assessment of Potentially Toxic Elements in Topsoils of the Issyk-Kul Lake Region,Central Asia

The Issyk-Kul Lake region is well known for its magnificent scenery and unique scientific significance. With multivariable statistical methods, the contents of several geochemical elements (Fe, Mn, V, Zn, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, As, Mo, Cd, Sb, Tl, Pb, and Hg) and total organic matter of 61 topsoil samples were analyzed, and then, the results were used to assess the environmental factors controlling the concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTE) in the region. The results showed that most of the elements including Fe, Mn, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, As, and Sb reflected the natural state, but several PTE (Zn, Mo, Hg, Cd, Pb, and Tl) had been influenced by anthropogenic factors. Among these, Zn, Mo, Hg, and Cd were significantly correlated with the organic matter content, which suggests that agricultural soils will accumulate more PTE. From the calculations for the human risk assessment of anthropogenically derived PTE (Zn, Mo, Hg, Cd, Pb, and Tl), the risks for ingestion in this region were found to be higher than those for inhalation and dermal absorption; however, the results also suggested there are no non-carcinogenic risks for all anthropogenically influenced PTE in the current state.

生态系统中关键种类型及其管理对策

与其他物种相比,关键种（Ｋｅｙｓｔｏｎｅ ｓｐｅｃｉｅｓ）在其生态系统中具有更深刻的影响。根据野外考察和研究,笔者认为关键种应分为两类：一类对生态系统具有积极的、重要的作用,也就是一般所称的“关键种”,一旦它们受到严重干扰,很多依赖它们而生存的物种也将受到严重威胁或即将消失。另严则相反,具有潜在的消极作用,可称为“潜关键种”（Ｐｏｔｅｎｔｉａｌ ｋｅｙｓｔｏｎｅ ｓｐｅｃｉｅｓ）,一旦它们获得发展     

通用线性模型筛选家禽生化多态遗传标记的探讨

本研究首次采用线性模型估计生化基因(表)型对产蛋量相关性状的效应,排除环境和遗传背景的差异,检测出效应显著的3种生化基因(表)型。Akp座位F型和Es-1座位AB型的开产蛋重显著降低, 效应的遗传本质有待于深入研究确认。 Tf位点对于36周龄体重的影响不属于基因多效或紧密连锁效应, 可能是距离较远基因连锁的结果,效应随基因间连锁与交换会在品系和世代间产生较大波动;或可能源于非控制误差。本研究还表明生化基因座位与数量性状基因位点(QTL)间的非紧密基因连锁可能大量存在, 但育种意义不大。 Abstract:The literature on associations between biochemical polymorphisms with a Mendelian basis and quantitative traitsis abundant,but it is often difficult to draw conclusions from results that vary in statistical significance and that are sometimes conflicting.Linear models were found capable in estimating associated effects of biochemical genes,precluding deviations due to environmental and population differences.Three biochemical gene- or phenotypes were detected to be significantly associated with laying-related traits.F of Akp locus and AB of Es-1 locus showed large associated effects on egg weight at onset of lay as the result of pleiotrophy or close linkage,or caused by heterogeneity,whereas association of BB at Tf locus with body weight at 36 weeks of age could be due to loose linkage or non-controlled errors which exhibited large variations between populations and possibly through generations Many biochemical loci were also revealed to be occasionally associated with laying-related traits,but few of them could be of breeding importance.     

人工培殖冬虫夏草过程中一种眼蕈蚊属害虫的生物学特性及其防控研究

在四川康定基地的实验室(海拔高度3800 m)内研究了人工培殖冬虫夏草过程中一种眼蕈蚊属害虫的生物学特性及其防控方法。该虫在10℃-13℃,相对湿度65%-75%的条件下完成一个世代所需要的时间为85-95 d,幼虫期为28-30 d,蛹期为16-20 d,成虫期为15-20 d,卵期为27-30 d。基质和饲料都同时存在是该虫生存的必要条件。在无土条件下裸露饲养可以有效避免该害虫的发生。     

Phenylalanine ammonia lyase

The literature concerning the physiology and biochemistry of the enzyme phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) (E.C. 4.1.1.5) from different organisms has been reviewed. Levels of the enzyme are affected by age, light, phytochrome, wounding, infection and growth modifiers. The possibility that PAL is involved in the control of phenolic metabolism has been critically examined.
