Populations on the limits of species’ distribution can show different behavioral adaptations to strong ecological pressure
than in the central part of the range. We investigated space use patterns of alpine mountain hare (Lepus timidus) at two areas on the southern edge of the species’ range. We monitored 34 hares between 2005 and 2008, estimating home range
size, overlap, and site fidelity, and compared our results with space use in Scottish and North-European populations. Home
ranges of mountain hares did not differ between two study areas with different habitat types. Subadult animals used larger
ranges than adults and both age groups reduced home range size in autumn, a period that might be critical for hares due to
changes in diet and/or high energy expenditure during the previous breeding season. Home ranges in these alpine populations
were smaller than in Scandinavian populations but within the range of populations in different habitat types in Scotland.
Seasonal home ranges overlapped considerably, but differed among the sexes: male–female overlap was higher than same sex (male–male
and female–female) spatial overlap. Seasonal shifts of home ranges were small, and site fidelity remained high over the seasons,
suggesting that resource distribution remained constant throughout the year and that the knowledge of an intensively frequented
area is an important element of habitat quality. We concluded that habitat structure and availability of mates interact in
affecting mountain hare space use in alpine habitats. 相似文献

Space-use patterns of seed predators are strongly affected by spatiotemporal variation in the abundance of different tree
seeds, their major food source. However, most studies have measured relationships between overall food availability and space
use, and there are few cases where effects of different food resources have been explored. We studied the effects of two food
resources, Norway spruce and silver fir seeds, on space and habitat use in red squirrel in a subalpine conifer forest from
2000 to 2006. Fir seeds disperse in the autumn of the year they are produced, spruce the following spring. We estimated spruce
and fir seed availability within individual home ranges and monitored home-range size using radiotelemetry. Males had larger
home ranges than females and the sexes responded differently to variation in food and density. Spruce seed availability negatively
affected home-range and core-area sizes of males in spring–summer. Space use was not affected by fir seed availability. Squirrels
positively selected spruce for foraging and spruce was always preferred over fir. Our results showed that spruce, but not
fir, affected space and habitat use of squirrels, suggesting they do not behaviourally respond to early seed dispersal in
fir. 相似文献

Analysis of charred plant macro-remains, including wood charcoals, cereals, seeds, tubers and fruits from the Neolithic site
of ?atalh?yük has indicated complex patterns of plant resource use and exploitation in the Konya plain during the early Holocene.
Evidence presented in this paper shows that settlement location was not dictated by proximity to high quality arable land
and direct access to arboreal resources (firewood, timber, fruit producing species). A summary of the patterns observed in
sample composition and species representation is outlined here together with preliminary interpretations of these results
within their broader regional context.

Full analysis of eight seed samples collected in the 1960's excavations at Neolithic Çatalhöyük East, Turkey, is presented. Detailed investigation of the composition and context of the samples suggests that the Neolithic population collected, processed and stored seeds from Capsella sp. and Descurainia sp. (wild crucifers) for food use. In addition seeds of Vicia/Lathyrus sp. (wild vetch), Helianthemum spp. and Taeniatherum caput-medusae mixed with Eremopyrum type (grasses) were also found, some of which may have been used for food or other purposes. The analysis demonstrates that wild seed exploitation was a regular part of subsistence practice alongside the economic staple of crop production, and again demonstrates how diverse plant use practices were at the site. 相似文献

A new orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily that interacts with a subset of retinoic acid response elements. 总被引:18,自引:5,他引:13 下载免费PDF全文

We have identified and characterized a new orphan member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, called MB67, which is predominantly expressed in liver. MB67 binds and transactivates the retinoic acid response elements that control expression of the retinoic acid receptor beta 2 and alcohol dehydrogenase 3 genes, both of which consist of a direct repeat hexamers related to the consensus AGGTCA, separated by 5 bp. MB67 binds these elements as a heterodimer with the 9-cis-retinoic acid receptor, RXR. However, MB67 does not bind or activate other retinoic acid response elements with alternative hexamer arrangements or any of several other wild-type and synthetic hormone response elements examined. The transactivation of retinoic acid response elements by MB67 is weaker than that conferred by the retinoic acid receptors but does not require the presence of all-trans retinoic acid, 9-cis-retinoic acid, or any exogenously added ligand. We propose that MB67 plays an important role in the complex network of proteins that govern response to retinoic acid and its metabolites. 相似文献
