珠江口伶仃洋中华白海豚栖息地利用对海岸线等变迁的响应

沿岸鲸豚类栖息地易受人类活动的干扰，导致其分布和核心栖息地发生变化。珠江口-漠阳江口中华白海豚种群是目前所知全球范围内最大的种群，其中伶仃洋水域是其重要的栖息地。近年来，珠江口伶仃洋周边城市发展带来的人类活动增加，白海豚的生存压力日益增大，分析伶仃洋中华白海豚对栖息地环境变化的响应，研究对应的保护策略显得非常迫切。以多源陆地资源卫星Landsat为数据源，通过影像分析近43年珠江口伶仃洋围填海造成的海域流失，结合近20年来采用截线抽样法收集的海豚观测数据，运用含障碍核插值（Kernel interpolation with barriers）方法，分析白海豚的分布及核心栖息地的变化。结果显示：1986-2015年期间，研究区域内流失的海域面积为344.08km²；目击分布离人工海岸线的平均距离大于自然海岸线的平均距离，目击分布到自然海岸线和人工海岸线的平均距离均在减小，表明过去20年白海豚的栖息地使用选择发生了一些变化，被迫适应人类活动的干扰；1997-2016年白海豚的分布范围呈现先增加后减小，白海豚栖息地使用的重心偏向伶仃洋东部水域，核心栖息地趋向主航道和无人海岛附近水域萎缩，可能是海豚因海域食物资源减少而迫不得已的选择。不同时期，珠江口中华白海豚国家级自然保护区所覆盖的核心栖息地比例呈递减趋势，占比由79.9%下降到49.4%，当前有必要对保护区范围和功能区作出一些优化调整，以适应栖息地使用的变化格局。     

Comparative phylogeography of Zacco platypus and Opsariichthys bidens (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) in China based on cytochrome b sequences

We compared the phylogenetic relationships and the population structure of the sympatric cyprinids Opsariichthys bidens and Zacco platypus across the Yangzte, Pearl and Hai He drainages in Mainland China. We used the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to evaluate their phylogeographical structure and to discuss further systematic implications. We sequenced 71 new individuals of Z. platypus to add to a previous study and to construct a geographically comparable data set with O. bidens (Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. 31, 2004, 192; Mol. Phylogenet. Evol. 37, 2005, 920). Phylogeographic analysis of Z. platypus identified two additional mtDNA lineages (Zacco E and F) in addition to the previously recovered lineages (Zacco A–D). The geographical range of the Zacco A was extended across the Pearl drainage, broadening considerably the previous distribution that was circumscribed to the Yangtze drainage. Our results show high molecular divergence between all Zacco A–F mtDNA lineages (mean TrN + I + G distance 17.7%, range 4.4–30.8%), and the population analyses showed that most of the genetic variation was found among major river tributaries (90.2%). Values of θ_ST higher than 0.97 corroborated this interruption of gene flow between Zacco A–F mtDNA lineages. Nested clade analysis results were also concordant with the phylogenetic relationships recovered. We found similar phylogeographic patterns in Z. platypus and O. bidens: they exhibited two widespread and common lineages (Zacco A and Opsariichthys 1) ranging across the Yangtze and Pearl drainages, and both taxa had Northern lineages (Zacco F and Opsariichthys 5) clearly differentiated. Similar phylogeographic patterns suggest that common historical factors have shaped current Zacco and Opsariichthys diversity. High genetic distances and θ_ST values suggested that differentiation of Zacco A–F mtDNA lineages and Opsariichthys 1–5 was not recent and was probably favoured by old geological events. However, population parameters and low genetic differentiation inside Zacco A and Opsariichthys 1 suggest a recent gene flow across river drainages. Mitochondrial‐based phylogenies for the combined data sets of Zacco A–F and Opsariichthys 1–5 mtDNA lineages always recovered both taxa as paraphyletic, highlighting the notion that their current systematics need a revision.     

2004-2013年珠江流域植被变化及其胁迫分析

植被对区域气候调节、水文循环等有着重要作用,在近年来中国南部地区极端气候频发的背景下,研究植被变化及胁迫意义重大。以珠江流域为研究区,利用MODIS EVI分析了植被的变化规律,并通过美国军事气象卫星DMSP灯光数据和气象数据探讨分析了人类活动和自然环境对植被变化的胁迫。结果显示：2004年到2013年期间珠江流域内年平均EVI介于0.33-0.38之间,EVI从高到底依次是常绿阔叶林 > 混交林 > 多树的草地 > 常绿针叶林 > 草地,不同植被类型的EVI变化趋势基本一致,同一植被类型EVI年际变化较小,其中混交林和草地年际最大变化量分别为0.07和0.04,而常绿阔叶林、常绿针叶林和多树的草地年际最大变化量均为0.06;在2004年至2013年年间,城市化水平增长了约71%,其年发展变化与EVI的年变化趋势相反;通过对比分析发现珠江流域人类活动对植被变化影响高于自然环境,即DMSP灯光变化与EVI变化的相关系数明显高于气温和降水。     

珠江口南沙河涌浮游植物群落结构时空变化及其与环境因子的关系

随着城市生态健康理念的提出,城市河涌生态健康也受到了前所未有的关注。为更好的了解河涌的水环境和浮游植物现状,于2015年3月至2016年2月对珠江口南沙河涌8个站位水环境和浮游植物群落结构进行调查。结果显示:共发现浮游植物164种(属),隶属7门73属,其中以绿藻种类最多,达33属79种,占48.17%;硅藻次之,17属41种,占25%。优势种为梅尼小环藻(Cyclotella meneghiniana)、假鱼腥藻属(Pseudanabaena sp.)和小球藻(Chlorella vulgaris)。浮游植物细胞密度在0.19×10~6—101.34×10~6个/L内变动,呈现单峰型,在4月发生拟菱形弓形藻(Schroederia nitzschioides)水华,14涌密度高达87.38×10~6个/L,随后因强降雨细胞密度骤降。浮游植物群落的季节演替基本符合PEG(Plankton Ecology Group)模型,从冬季的硅藻,到春夏季的绿藻,再到秋季的蓝藻。One-way ANOVA分析显示,各月份浮游植物细胞密度差异显著(P0.01)。Pearson相关性分析表明绿藻细胞丰度变化主导着浮游植物总丰度的变化(r=0.454,P0.01)。运用Margalef物种丰富度指数、Shannon物种多样性指数、Pielou均匀度指数对水体进行评价表明,调查水体呈中度污染。相关加权营养状态指数表明,河涌全年处于富营养化状态。浮游植物聚类分析表明,时间异质性较高,总体相似性较低;空间上相似性较高,人为活动可能是导致空间差异的关键因子。冗余分析显示,叶绿素a、溶解氧、盐度、水温、总氮和p H与浮游植物群落结构关系最为密切。p H对硅藻门浮游植物影响较大,碱性条件适宜直链藻生长,春季水华形成的驱动因子是盐度、温度和总氮。     

Fine‐scale habitat use in Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins,Sousa chinensis,may be more influenced by fish rather than vessels in the Pearl River Estuary,China

Shifts in habitat use and distribution patterns in dolphins are often concerns that can result from habitat degradation. We investigated how potential changes to a habitat from human activity may alter dolphin distributions within Lingding Bay in the Pearl River Estuary, China, by studying the relationship between fish choruses, vessel presence and Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphin (Sousa chinensis) detection rates. Analyses revealed temporal and spatial variation within fish choruses, vessel presence and dolphin detection rates. After accounting for any temporal autocorrelation, correlations between fish choruses and dolphin detection rates were also found; however, no relationship between fish choruses and vessel presence or dolphin detection rates and vessel presence were observed. Furthermore, fewer dolphins were detected at sites where fish activity was less intense. Thus fish activity, rather than vessels, may be a key factor influencing the distribution of the dolphins within the estuary. These findings emphasize the risk of potential shifts in habitat use for Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins due to detrimental changes to prey availability and dolphin feeding grounds from human activity, such as overfishing and coastal developments, within the estuary. This is a critical conservation issue for this dolphin population that is facing intense anthropogenic pressure.     

Threatened fishes of the world: <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chalcalburnus tarichi</Emphasis> (Pallas 1811) (Cyprinidae) living in the highly alkaline Lake Van,Turkey

A member of the Cyprinidae family, the Chalcalburnus tarichi is a fish species that only inhabits the Lake Van Basin. The Lake Van represents an interesting ecosystem in the world, known as the biggest soda lake in the world, in that its water is highly alkaline with a pH of 9.8. C. tarichi has bright-silver color, its back is grayish green, and the abdominal region is silver. Its body is covered with small scales, and its eyes are large. It feeds on phyto and zooplanktons. Its average life span is 7 years, and the fish reaches reproductive maturity at 3 years old. C. tarichi is an diadrom fish that lives in the lake, but during the reproduction period it immigrates to the surrounding freshwater rivers returning after the reproduction period of April–July. In the past, pearl mullet was an attractive fresh fish for the local people and was easily caught during the spawning migration, resulting in over-fishing. The species was one of the highly endangered animals of Turkey before conservation studies, some 10 years ago, have started. At present, illegal fishing activities declined, although some locals are continuing to fish during the spawning season.     

大气污染对珠江三角洲村边林植被的影响

在群落结构与组成分析的基础上,阐明了陶瓷工业污染对自然条件下生长的植被伤害状况、程度和原因,为类似地理气候区重度污染背景下退化生态系统的植被恢复提供参考。野外调查样地位于广东省佛山市南海区一村边半自然次生林内。结果表明,该森林以隆缘桉和尾叶桉占优势,其次是乡土树种鸭脚木、泥竹,重要值依次为26.75、17.08、16.27和11.50,其它伴生种的重要值不足30。根据冠层叶可见症状、失绿和脱叶对植物受害进行综合评价,分死亡(受害程度100%,全部叶死亡脱落)、重度(60%-100%)、中度(25%-60%)、轻度(10%-25%)和健康(<10%)5个级别。隆缘桉和马尾松冠层叶完全脱落属于死亡类,泥竹、南岭黄檀属重度受害种类。尽管其它伴生树种有较低的重要值,但其中多数种类显示出较强耐受能力,这些种类包括鸭脚木、珊瑚树、酒饼叶、光叶山矾、白背叶、银柴、竹节树、山黄麻、构树、粗叶榕、潺槁树等。和乔木层比较,林下灌木和草本植物受污染的伤害大大降低。桉树类树种因其速生、快速郁闭的特点被认为是华南荒山、退化丘陵地区植被恢复的重要种类,在重度污染地区已经受到严重威胁,应该引起重视。另一方面,某些乡土树种在重度污染地区环境修复中显示出潜力和前景。

利用倒置"W"九点取样法,对珠三角地区5个城市32个草坪样点进行了季节动态调查.结果表明:春季草坪杂草群落结构以水蜈蚣(KyUinga brevifolia)+三点金(Desmodium triflorum)+狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon)+积雪草(Asiatic pennywort)为主;夏季以水蜈蚣+三点金+香附子(Cypems rotundus)+伞房花耳草(Hedyotis corymbosa)为主;秋季以水蜈蚣+三点金+伞房花耳草+狗牙根为主;冬季以积雪草+水蜈蚣+天胡荽(Hydrocotyle sibthorpoioides)+三点金为主.运用改进的Levins生态位宽度指数和Pianka生态位重叠指数对四季优势杂草生态位进行分析,结果表明,大部分杂草生态位宽度在0.5以下,生态位宽度达到0.50的有水蜈蚣(四季均最高),三点金(秋季)、狗牙根(春季)、酢浆草(Oxalis pes-caprae)(春季).春季优势杂草的生态位重叠指数达到0.60的最多,冬季则最少.生态位重叠指数的最大值出现在夏季,分别是天胡荽和母草(Lindernia crustacea)、白花蛇舌草(Hedyotis diffusa)和瓶尔小草(Ophioglossum vulgatum)之间,可达0.85.     

利用导数光谱估算珠江河口水体悬浮泥沙浓度

悬浮泥沙不仅影响水体的生态状况,而且对河口地貌及岸线的演变起到重要作用。高光谱技术可用于船载、机载及星载的光学传感器上,被认为是监测光学复杂水体的有效工具。为研究高光谱技术在河口悬浮泥沙监测应用中的可行性,于2004年5月及2006年8月,在珠江口进行了两个航次的现场水质采样及同步光谱测量。测量的原始遥感反射率光谱的分辨率为0.38nm,处理成为10nm的带宽,并进一步处理成导数光谱。以悬浮颗粒物(SPM)表征悬浮泥沙,分析了SPM和各光谱间的相关性。结果显示,一阶导数光谱,特别是605nm,可用于河口水体的SPM估算。该研究结果可应用到光学复杂河口水体的悬浮泥沙现场监测,并且对Hyperion及环境1号等卫星成像高光谱数据有潜在的应用价值。
