Spatial distribution of sand fly species (Psychodidae: Phlebtominae), ecological niche,and climatic regionalization in zoonotic foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis,southwest of Iran

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a complex vector‐borne disease caused by Leishmania parasites that are transmitted by the bite of several species of infected female phlebotomine sand flies. Monthly factor analysis of climatic variables indicated fundamental variables. Principal component‐based regionalization was used for recognition of climatic zones using a clustering integrated method that identified five climatic zones based on factor analysis. To investigate spatial distribution of the sand fly species, the kriging method was used as an advanced geostatistical procedure in the ArcGIS modeling system that is beneficial to design measurement plans and to predict the transmission cycle in various regions of Khuzestan province, southwest of Iran. However, more than an 80% probability of P. papatasi was observed in rainy and temperate bio‐climatic zones with a high potential of CL transmission. Finding P. sergenti revealed the probability of transmission and distribution patterns of a non‐native vector of CL in related zones. These findings could be used as models indicating climatic zones and environmental variables connected to sand fly presence and vector distribution. Furthermore, this information is appropriate for future research efforts into the ecology of Phlebotomine sand flies and for the prevention of CL vector transmission as a public health priority.     

GIS支持下的中国西部公路建设生态影响区划

根据公路的线形景观结构及其对生态系统影响特征,构建了公路建设对生物多样性潜在影响指数(B),以及反映区域生态系统对公路建设扰动的抵抗能力和生态恢复难易程度的生态脆弱性指数(EV),运用GIS技术,以25km×25km的像元分别计算该两个指数的数值。以计算结果为依据,结合公路建设中造成的边坡侵蚀类型,完成了中国西部公路建设生态影响区划。该区划包括3个公路边坡侵蚀影响大区,10个生物多样性潜在影响区和32个生态易损性小区。西部公路建设生态影响区划的研究结果表明,西部地区今后公路建设中生态保护的重点内容具有明显区域差异,因而不同区域应采取的保护措施也应不尽相同。     

吉林省农业气象干旱灾害的风险分析及区划

利用1961-2010年吉林省50个站气候观测资料、1981-2010年干旱灾情和农业经济资料,基于灾害风险系统分析理论、农田水分平衡法和综合灾害风险指数法,在分析干旱对吉林省农业影响致灾因子危险性、孕灾环境敏感性、承灾体脆弱性和防旱减灾能力的基础上,应用加权综合法得到不同单元的综合风险度指数;基于GIS技术,开展了干旱对吉林省农业影响的风险区划.结果表明:致灾因子危险性的高值区分布在西部的白城和松原大部分地区,孕灾环境敏感性的高值区分布在白城地区、松原地区、四平地区北部和通化地区南部,承灾体脆弱性的高值区主要分布在经济较发达的松原大部分地区、长春大部分地区、四平地区等,防旱减灾能力的高值区分布在松原、长春、四平、吉林和通化市区及其周边地区.考虑各因子的综合风险度,干旱对吉林省农业影响的风险可分为高风险、次高风险、中等风险、次低风险和低风险5个等级,其中,高、次高风险主要分布在吉林省中西部的白城、松原、长春和四平地区.     

华北平原冬小麦干旱灾损风险区划

干旱是华北平原最严重的农业气象灾害之一,是冬小麦产量稳定上升的重要限制因素。本文从冬小麦产量的实际灾损角度,对减产率、发生概率及产量的变异系数等因子进行了分析,构建了华北平原冬小麦干旱产量灾损风险评估模型,并对华北平原冬小麦进行了实际灾损风险区划。结果表明,风险高值区约占该地区19.8%,主要分布于鲁西、鲁西北-冀东北,鲁西南-豫东地区;中值区约占34%,主要分布在冀中南、豫北、豫中和豫西以及山东中部丘陵地区;风险低值区占46.2%,主要集中于鲁中部、南部和豫中南、西南的广大地区。     

小尺度农业生态区划研究——以三江平原八五三农场二分场为例

本文以三江平原八五三农场二分场为例,探讨了小尺度农业生态区划的方法。作者根据该分场的农业自然条件和特点,采用数量化方法Ⅰ筛选出土壤类型、土地潜在旱涝类型、白浆层厚度和地貌类型4个因子作为该分场衣业生态区划的指标因子,并根据筛选结果,确定了这4个因子的相对重要性顺序。将4个指标因子的专题图重迭,划分出区划的基本类型单元。根据第1重要的指标因子,将基本类型单元组合成农业生态地段。根据第2重要的指标因子,将地段划分成农业生态地块。根据第3和第4重要因子,进一步将地块划分成农业生态型。     

Chronological changes in the sucrase antigen-inducing activity and development of the regional identity in the intestinal mesoderm of the chick embryo

Developmental changes in mesodermal activity to induce intestine-like differentiation expressing sucrase antigen in the endoderm and changes in endodermal reactivity to such an activity in the digestive tract of the chick embryo were analyzed. Digestive-tract endoderms of embryos at 3 days of incubation were highly responsive to the inductive effect of the 5 day duodenal mesenchyme, with the stomach endoderm lying nearest to the intestine having the highest reactivity. Endodermal reactivity decreased with increasing age. It was almost absent in the endoderm of the esophagus or proventriculus of 6 day embryos and in the endoderm of the gizzard of 7 day embryos. The activity of the mesoderm to induce intestine-like differentiation in 5 day gizzard endoderm was high in the 5–10 day duodenal mesenchyme, but was rarely found in 14 day duodenal mesenchyme. This activity was specific to intestinal mesenchymes, among which the duodenal mesenchyme had the highest activity in 5 day embryos. The 3 day intestinal mesenchyme may already have the inductive activity. The presumptive intestinal mesoderm of 1.5 day embryos seemed to have a slight or no activity, but it may have intestinal identity and may manifest a high inductive activity later.
