A quantitative analysis of behavioral selectivity for pulse rise-time in the gray treefrog, Hyla versicolor

The selectivity of female phonotactic responses to synthetic advertisement calls was tested in choice situations. Preferences based on differences in the linear rise-time of synthetic pulses depended on intensity and carrier frequency. When the carrier frequency was 1.1 kHz, simulating the low-frequency peak in the advertisement call, females preferred alternatives with slower rise-time pulses that differed by 5 ms at playback levels of 75 dB SPL and higher. A rise-time difference of 10 ms was discriminated at 65 dB SPL. When the carrier frequency was 2.2 kHz, simulating the high-frequency peak in the call, females discriminated a 5-ms difference in rise-time only at 85 dB SPL. Females showed no preference when the difference was 10 ms at lower playback levels. The difference in the thresholds (about 15–20 dB) for discriminating differences in rise-time at the two carrier frequencies was greater than the difference in behavioral thresholds for these two frequencies (about 10 dB). This result suggests that rise-time discrimination can be mediated solely by the neural channel mainly tuned to the low-frequency peak in the call. Females probably assess differences in rise-time by comparing the first few pulses of each call rather than by averaging over the entire call. Accepted: 30 March 1999

长喙毛茛泽泻的种群分布格局和群落内种间关联

长喙毛茛泽泻茶陵种群呈斑块分布,格局类型为聚集分布型,每个亚种群也呈聚集分布,但聚集强度不同。长喙毛茛泽泻与其几个主要伴生种的相关性经测定结果是：与莼菜及黄花狸藻之间的相关性不显著;与柳叶箬、双穗雀稗及石龙尾之间正相关显著;与疏勿蓼之间负相关显著,长喙毛茛泽泻种子近距离传播以及无性繁殖特性是造成其聚集分布的主要原因。柳叶箬、双穗雀稗和石龙尾对长喙毛茛泽泻具有极强的竞争作用。

我国水青冈属植物的地理分布格局及其与地形的关系

利用我国水青冈属（ＦａｇｕｓＬ．）植物的地理分布资料和１∶１００万地形图资料,利用Ｋｒｉｇｅ空间统计方法对我国分布较广的４种水青冈,即长柄水青冈（Ｆ．ｌｏｎｇｉｐｅｔｉｏｌａｔａＳｅｅｍ．ｅｔＤｉｅｌｓ）、亮叶水青冈（Ｆ．ｌｕｃｉｄａＲｅｈｄ．ｅｔＷｉｌｓ．）、米心水青冈（Ｆ．ｅｎｇｌｅｒｉａｎａＳｅｅｍ．）和巴山水青冈（Ｆ．ｂａｓｈａｎｉｃａＹａｎｇ）的空间分布格局及其与地形的关系进行了研究。结果表明,我国水青冈属植物显示出南北变化较小、东西变化显著,一些区域出现较周围地区较高或较低分布的“岛屿化”现象的空间分布格局。这与我国的地形特征以及水青冈的生态特性等有关。沿不同经向剖面,分析水青冈的分布高度与地形平均高度之间的关系显示,随地形高度的增加,水青冈分布上限的高度也逐渐增加,其趋势可用对数或直线拟合,但不同种对地形高度变化的反应存在差异。这些结果不仅从较大尺度上定量说明了我国水青冈分布高度的山体效应现象,也揭示了物种间山体效应的差异。这种差异可能与物种的生态适应性和生态幅度有关。     

The interaction of temperature and fish size on growth of juvenile halibut

Growth rate of individually tagged juvenile halibut was influenced significantly by the interaction of temperature and fish size. The results suggest an optimum temperature for growth of juvenile halibut in the size range 5–70 g between 12 and 15° C. Overall growth rate was highest at 13° C (1·62% day ⁻¹). At c. 5 g at the beginning of the experiment, fish at 16° C had the highest growth rate (3·2% day ⁻¹), but reduced this rate as they grew bigger. At 9 and 11°p C, growth rates were equal or only slightly lower during the later stages of the experiment, while the fish at 6° C showed significantly lower overall growth rate (0·87% day⁻¹). Optimal temperature for growth decreased rapidly with increasing size, indicating an ontogenetic reduction in optimum temperature for growth. Moreover, a more flattened parabolic regression curve between growth and temperature as size increased indicated reduced temperature dependence with size. Although individual growth rates varied significantly at all times within the experimental temperatures, significant size rank correlations were maintained during the experiment. This indicated an early establishment of a stable size hierarchy within the fish groups. Haematocrit was highest at the highest temperature while Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase activity was inversely related to temperature. There was no difference in plasma Na⁺, Cl⁻ and K⁺ concentrations among the temperature groups.

Spatial distribution characteristics of stomata at the areole level in Michelia cavaleriei var. platypetala (Magnoliaceae)

Background and AimsIn hierarchically reticulate venation patterns, smaller orders of veins form areoles in which stomata are located. This study aimed to quantify the spatial relationship among stomata at the areole level.MethodsFor each of 12 leaves of M. cavaleriei var. platypetala, we assumed that stomatal characteristics were symmetrical on either side of the midrib, and divided the leaf surface on one side of the midrib into six layers equidistantly spaced along the apical–basal axis. We then further divided each layer into three positions equidistantly spaced from midrib to leaf margin, resulting in a total of 18 sampling locations. In addition, for 60 leaves, we sampled three positions from midrib to margin within only the widest layer of the leaf. Stomatal density and mean nearest neighbour distance (MNND) were calculated for each section. A replicated spatial point pattern approach quantified stomatal spatial relationships at different distances (0–300 μm).Key ResultsA tendency towards regular arrangement (inhibition as opposed to attraction or clustering) was observed between stomatal centres at distances <100 μm. Leaf layer (leaf length dimension) had no significant effect on local stomatal density, MNND or the spatial distribution characteristics of stomatal centres. In addition, we did not find greater inhibition at the centre of areoles, and in positions farther from the midrib.ConclusionsSpatial inhibition might be caused by the one-cell-spacing rule, resulting in more regular arrangement of stomata, and it was found to exist at distances up to ~100 μm. This work implies that leaf hydraulic architecture, consisting of both vascular and mesophyll properties, is sufficient to prevent important spatial variability in water supply at the areole level.     

Influences of Woody Debris on Flow Patterns and Channel Morphology in a Low Energy,Sand‐Bed Stream Reach

In lowland areas, such as the glacial landscapes of eastern Germany, sand‐bed streams are the most common stream type. They have low gradients and their hydrological regime is often subdued due to the frequent interruption by lakes. Very few is known about the influence of woody debris in these streams, since nearly all previous studies are from high‐gradient conditions, where streams have coarse bed sediments and harsh hydrological regimes. The research objectives of this study were first to assess the quasi‐natural quantity and quality of wood in a lowland sand‐bed stream and second to understand the influence of wood on the channel morphology and the flow patterns at base‐flow. The three‐dimensional stream bed relief was surveyed by electronic distance measurement. The position and the size of large woody debris was assessed by close‐up photography. An acoustic Doppler velocimeter was used to record the patterns of flow velocity and turbulence. Overlay and analysis of the spatial data was done using a Geographic Information System. The standing stock of wood was 1.9 m³ and 39 woody elements per 100 m² of stream bed. The flow pattern was clearly controlled by the wood. Woody elements elevated above the stream bed deflected flow and locally caused strong secondary current, high turbulence, and scour of the stream bed at baseflow. Wood resting directly on the stream bed, which contributed the majority of the wood inside the bank‐full channel, determined the roughness of the stream bed. Near‐bed flow patterns observed were isolated roughness flow and wake interference flow, which was registered inside the accumulations of wood. 68% of the stream bed had shear stress above critical. Hence, the secondary morphological structures of the sand‐bed were controlled at base‐flow by the flow which was determined by the woody debris distribution.
