Analysis of variation at 10 polymorphic isoenzyme loci in 51 European populations of Pinus sylvestris both from its main continuous range and from isolated, marginal populations out of the continuous range, revealed differences in genetic structure. The highest genetic richness, measured as mean number of alleles per locus, was recorded for populations from the Iberian Peninsula, followed by those from Scotland and the Balkans. Marginal, isolated populations were characterized by much greater interpopulation variation than populations from the continuous range of the species. The highest mean observed heterozygosity was recorded for the Iberian populations. The highest gene flow was observed among populations in the continuous range of the species. The populations could be classified into five groups based on genetic similarities. Populations from the continuous range formed one group, those from Spain two groups, pines from Scotland one group and those from the Balkans one group. One population from Scotland was found to be most distinct from the other Scottish pines and was found to be grouped with the Balkan populations. The occurrence and frequencies of rare alleles in the populations showed a characteristic pattern, suggesting that populations from the Iberian Peninsula probably did not participate in the colonization of Europe by Pinus sylvestris after the last glaciation. In contrast, the migration of populations from the Balkan refugium into Central and Western Europe had a significant effect on the contemporary gene pools of populations of Pinus sylvestris in its continuous range. 相似文献

Synopsis Shark nurseries, or nursery areas, are geographically discrete parts of a species range where the gravid females of most species of coastal sharks deliver their young or deposit their eggs, and where their young spend their first weeks, months, or years. These areas are usually located in shallow, energy rich coastal areas where the young find abundant food and have little predation by larger sharks. Nurseries are characterized by the presence of both gravid females and free swimming neonates. Neonates are young bearing fresh, unhealed umbilical scars in the case of placental species, or those at or near the birth size in aplacental species. Bulls Bay, South Carolina, is a nursery for the blacknose, spinner, finetooth, blacktip, sandbar, dusky, Atlantic sharpnose, scalloped hammerhead, and smooth dogfish sharks. The lemon shark has its nursery in shallow waters of south Florida and the Bahamas. The bull shark has its nursery in the lagoons of the east coast of central Florida. 相似文献

In the present study, we examined the migration effects on genetic variabilities and heritabilities patterns between three
groups of population like parental population in Punjab, migrant from Pakistan, and migrant from other states of India in
Punjab using anthropometric and physiometric traits. A total of 500 adult individuals from 300 families were studied. Statistical
comparisons were carried out through mean coefficients, Student’s t test, heritability, and regression analysis. The results suggest a significant migration effect on almost all traits. Correlation
coefficient for first-degree relatives, the slope factors, and heritabilities for almost all variables have been found significant
among the three groups of populations. However, the discrimination is more prominent among migrant from other states of India
because of more genetic heterogeneity. 相似文献

Synopsis The finetooth shark inhabits shallow coastal waters of the western Atlantic from North Carolina to Brazil. It is common off the southeastern United States, where it spends the summer off Georgia and the Carolinas and winters off Florida. The species appears in the nursery and mating areas of South Carolina when the surface water temperature rises above 20° C in late April and early May. Both adults and juveniles are common in the shallow coastal waters of South Carolina through the summer, where they feed primarily on menhaden. The finetooth shark leaves the Carolinas in early fall and migrates southward as the surface water temperature decreases below 20° C. Females reach maturity at about 1350 mm TL. Males mature at about 1300 mm TL. The finetooth shark has consecutive, year-long ovarian and gestation cycles, like most carcharhinid sharks. Mating occurs from early May to early June. Freshly mated females bear a large spermozeugma at the base of each uterus. The spermozeugmata are large almond shaped masses of individual spermatozoa embedded in a supporting matrix. Embryos are lecithotrophic during their first fifteen weeks of development. Subsequently, the embryos establish a placental connection to the mother. Implantation occurs when the embryos measure about 130 mm or at about the fifteenth week of gestation. Gravid females carrying young 480–550 mm TL enter the shallow water nurseries off South Carolina in late May. Parturition occurs from late May to mid-June, after a gestation period of about twelve months, plus or minus two weeks. The young measure 480–580 mm TL at birth. Oocytes grow little during the gestation cycle. After parturition, a cohort of oocytes begins to develop, that will be ovulated the following May. Thus, the ovarian cycle lasts about a year, although most of the oocyte growth occurs in the months just prior to ovulation. 相似文献

Flood control, drainage and irrigation (FCDI) schemes are widespread in Bangladesh. They are built to control water levels
to improve agricultural production based on high yielding varieties (HYV) of rice that cannot tolerate rapid inundation or
that require irrigation, and to provide protection from extreme flood events. The benefits to the agricultural sector can
be significant. At some sites in Bangladesh, farmers report up to 80% more agricultural production inside the schemes than
outside. However, fish production and species richness is typically lowered by these structures. Fish yields inside a typical
flood control compartment can be 50% lower than outside, with up to 25 species of fish absent or less abundant. Lower rates
of recruitment of migratory whitefish species, whose lateral migrations are obstructed by the embankments, were found to be
largely responsible for these differences. With a risk of more extreme flooding during the monsoon season but hotter and more
arid dry season conditions predicted as a consequence of climate change, more FCDI schemes may need to be constructed to provide
flood protection and to meet increasing irrigation needs. Based on fisheries monitoring and mark-recapture studies undertaken
at 3 sluice gates, nine recommendations for operating sluice gates to mitigate the impacts of FCDI schemes on fish production
and biodiversity are described. These recommendations aim to improve the access of migratory whitefish to modified floodplains
and to improve or sustain the production of resident (non-migratory) blackfish whilst minimising agricultural sector losses.

Synopsis Mass spawning of Caesio teres occurred between March and August, 1983 on a reef emerging from deep water just inside the East Channel of Enewetak Atoll,
Marshall Islands. Aggregations and spawning were observed from one day before until three days after the full moon. Spawning
aggregations were not observed during the new or quarter moons. Spawning commenced after high tide, when the current began
to flow out the pass from lagoon to ocean. The spawning aggregation of close to 1000 individuals migrated to the spawning
site. Spawning occurred when the aggregate ascended to near the water's surface. Subgroups dashed horizontally within the
aggregate, releasing a highly visible gamete cloud. Predation on spawning adults was not observed. Predation on spawned eggs
was noted. The eggs of C. teres are described.

In this article I examine the state-directed movement of ethnic groups. Such movements include the settlement of majority groups in peripheral regions inhabited by minorities, the relocation of minority groups within the state, and the expulsion of minorities from the state. An important theme of the article is that, while such policies have been implemented for centuries, modern state-directed movements are closely linked to the growth of nationalism. The study seeks to answer three important questions: (1) Why do states move ethnic groups? (2) How do states move ethnic groups? (3) Under what circumstances will states engage in such policies? 相似文献

The faunas collected in the Miocene of the Centralpart of the Jura High-Range near Pontarlier have allowed to attribute a Burdigalien age at the marine molass and Upper Burdigalien age at the overlying lacustrine deposits. The marine faunas are varied and show very clearly sea-ways from the rhodanoprovencal area. The age of the continental faunas prove that the sea recedes as soon as the end of Lower Miocene, showing the beginning of the emersion of the High-Range is an earliest event than hitherto believed. 相似文献

This paper describes human-modified bones originally from the Pampas region, and that form part of nineteenth-century fossil collections of native fauna. We describe the morphological and configurational features of the marks, relate them to the various stages in the butchering process, and discuss access type. An examination of various different American sites is used to interpret this evidence at a coarse-grained level. Although these collections are more biased than current archaeological materials with regard to their sedimentary origin and previous handling, the application of modern technology has allowed us to obtain new data. Therefore, despite their complex history, these artefacts can be incorporated into the broader body of modern archaeological research. This type of study adds new value to our historic heritage and underscores its usefulness in modern enquiries, in this case, related to the topic of how Homo sapiens interacted with the native fauna in the southern Cone of South America. 相似文献
