Conservation status of parrot populations in an Atlantic rainforest area of southeastern Brazil 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A census of four species of syntopic parrots was carried out using distance sampling methods on São Sebastião island, SE Brazil. Most of the 33593 ha island is covered by mature and secondary Atlantic rainforest. Almost 80% of these forests are within the Ilhabela Park. Although the species counted have marked differences in size and weight, density (individuals/km2) and estimated population size in 23500 ha of well-preserved forests were similar: Amazona farinosa (13.82±5.94; 3247±1395), Pionus maximiliani (15.79±7.04; 3712±1654), Brotogeris tirica (15.05±4.87; 3537±1143) and Pyrrhura frontalis (13.06±5.53; 3068±1298). Encounter rates of Forpus crassirostris and Pionopsitta pileata were very low, which suggests that there is only a small population of these species on the island. The São Sebastião forests still support healthy populations of parrots. Although woodpecker population estimates on the island are large enough to provide nesting sites for parrots, competition for holes with other secondary cavity nesters such as toucans, flycatchers and tytiras, and the selective cutting of dead trees for canoe construction, which is a common practice on the island, may limit hole availability for parrots. 相似文献

EF-1a binds aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosome with the hydrolysis of GTP; the complex facilitates the exchange of GDP for GTP to initiate another round of elongation. To examine the subunit structure of EF-1 and phosphorylation by protein kinase CKII, recombinant , , and subunits from rabbit were expressed in E. coli and the subunits were reconstituted into partial and complete complexes and analyzed by gel filtration. To determine the availability of the and subunits for phosphorylation by CKII, the subunits and the reconstituted complexes were examined as substrates for CKII. Formation of the nucleotide exchange complex increased the rate of phosphorylation of the subunit and reduced the Km, while addition of to or the complex inhibited phosphorylation by CKII. However, a had little effect on phosphorylation of . Thus, the and subunits in EF-1 were differentially phosphorylated by CKII, in that phosphorylation of was altered by association with other subunits, while the site on was always available for phosphorylation by CKII. From the availability of the subunits for phosphorylation by CKII and the composition of the reconstituted partial and complete complexes, a model for the subunit structure of EF-1 consisting of (22)2 is proposed and discussed. 相似文献

The mammalian placenta is a unique organ for the study of developmental changes. Placentas of laboratory animals such as the mouse allow for the determination of the exact stage of pregnancy, which cannot be achieved with human placenta. In this study, neutral glycosphingolipids were isolated from mouse (inbred strain C57BL/6) placentas, from day 10 to day 18 of gestation, and were separated by high performance thin layer chromatography. Densitometric measurements after orcinol staining showed, at day 10 of gestation, the presence of mono-, tetra-, tri- and dihexosylceramide in decreasing quantities, as well as four unidentified spots. On day 12, the glycosphingolipid composition changed with the disappearance of the unidentified spots and the appearance of an orcinol positive spot migrating similarly to the Forssman antigen; no further changes occurred between days 12 and 18 of gestation. The identity of the Forssman-like glycosphingolipid with the Forssman antigen was established by binding of125I labelledHelix pomatia agglutinin (-GalNAc specific) to glycosphingolipids separated on high performance thin layer chromatography plates, and by the reaction of the isolated glycosphingolipid with a monoclonal anti-Forssman antibody. The appearance of the Forssman antigen at day 12 of gestation coincided with the day of final maturation of the mouse placenta and subsequent cessation of growth, suggesting a possible role of the glycosphingolipid during embryonic development.Abbreviations asialo-GM1

Problems in estimating growth rates of marine phytoplankton from short-term14C assays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Growth rate estimates () of phytoplankton populations that were sampled from nitrogen-limited continuous cultures and then incubated for short durations in batch culture with added14C-HCO3

Two diatoms,Thalassiosira weissflogii andChaetoceros simplex, displayed virtually identical growth rates (=) over a wide range of, whereas for a third diatom,Phaeodactylum tricornutum, was overestimated by an average of 40% compared to. In contrast, was underestimated by the14C technique for the two remaining species: up to 40% at a steady-state of 1.0 day–1 for the chlorophyteDunaliella tertiolecta and up to 100% at of 1.4 day–1 for the haptophytePavlova lutheri. For the latter two species the divergence between and appeared to increase with increasing steady-state. A simple model of labeled and total carbon flow between the aqueous phase and cellular biomass was constructed to demonstrate that respiration was negligible when=, but was significant when>. In the cases in which<, a rapid physiological alteration presumably took place once the steady state was disturbed and cells were placed in the incubation chambers, which perhaps was related to the nutritional state of the cultures at the time of sampling. Questions thus are raised regarding our ability to measure accurately primary productivity from shipboard experiments with confined samples of phytoplankton from nutrient-impoverished waters that probably are less hardy than the laboratory cultures used in these studies. 相似文献

Summary Cytokinesis in the unicellular chlorococcalean alga Eremosphaera viridis de Bary has been investigated by electron microscopy of thin sections. The new plasmalemmata of the daughter cells in this organism form centrifugally within a phycoplast. Unlike other cell division systems each new plasmalemma is formed, not by the fusion of vesicles, but rather by the fusion of open membranes which are characteristically heavily stained. Measurements of these open membranes reveal that they are 11 nm thick with a central 4,5 nm unstained portion. The possible origin of these open membranes as burst-open vesicles has been suggested from the presence of intensely straining vesicles in the vicinity of the cell equator. Calculations of vesicle and open membrane surface areas support this contention. 相似文献

Biology cannot accommodate all aspects of culture. Aspects of culture that a biological approach can take into account can be covered by the biological categories of phenotype and environment. There is no need to treat culture as a separate category. Attempts to elaborate biological explanations of cultural variation will meet with success only if biologists expand theories of development, and integrate them in evolutionary biology. The alternative — elaborating the idea of so-called cultural inheritance — makes little sense from a biological point of view. 相似文献

A bloom in the water of Amursky Bay (Sea of Japan) caused by the dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina Dujardin, 1841 was recorded for the first time. The highest density of this species in the bloom area was 443.3 million cells/liter. The abundant development of microalga was observed from July to September 2002 at a water temperature of 17–24.5°C and a salinity of 7–18. Changes in the density of O. marina and other species of phytoplankton during the bloom period are analyzed. Possible reasons for the blooms of O. marina in Amursky Bay are discussed. 相似文献

Callus development in Callistemon viminalis was readily achieved when axillary buds derived from nodal tissue were placed in a medium containing macro- and micro-nutrients, sucrose (0.06 M), inositol (300 M), nicotinic acid (20 M), pyridoxine hydrochloride (3 M), thiamine hydrochloride (2 M), riboflavin (10 M), cytokinins (5 M) and auxins (0.1 M). The presence of benzylaminopurine (5 M) and p-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (0.1 M) promoted the most vigorous callus development and sprout formation. Rooting of nodal material was rare but occurred readily following the transference of sprouts developed on callus to a basal medium containing sucrose and salts. Root initiation was stimulated, however, by the presence of auxins. Chlorophenoxyacetic acid while stimulating root initiation repressed root growth. Indole butyric acid stimulated both root initiation and shoot growth at concentrations of 0.005 to 0.1 M. The treatment of choice for rooting and shoot growth was the addition of indole butyric acid at a concentration of 0.01 M. 相似文献

Nitrogenase activity in the obligate methaneoxidizing bacterium Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath) was added ammonia. This observation was extended to include other ammonia. This observation was extended to include other representative N2-fixing species of methanotrophs. The ammonia switch-off of nitrogenase in M. capsulatus (Bath) was reversed on washing cells to remove excess ammonia, in the presence of chloramphenicol, suggesting that a form of covalent modification of nitrogenase may occur. Replacing the oxidizable substrate methanol with formaldehyde, formate, ethanol or hydrogen had no effect on nitrogenase switch-off. A number of potential nitrogen sources or intermediates of nitrogen metabolism such as glutamine, asparagine, glutamate and alanine when tested, did not effect switch-off. However, the rapid inhibition of nitrogenase activity of M. capsulatus (Bath) could be achieved by adding the uncoupler carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone or nitrite. The glutamine synthetase inhibitor methionine sulphoximine blocked the switch-off effect of ammonia, indicating that the metabolism of ammonia may be essential for switch-off to occur. Inhibitors of glutamate synthase did not alleviate the ammonia switch-off response. Methionine sulphoximine did not alleviate the rapid inhibition of nitrogenase by carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone indicating that the shortterm regulation of nitrogenase by uncouplers and ammonia proceed via different mechanisms.Abbreviations MSX

Ultrastructure of the new neuromuscular junctions formed during reinnervation of rat soleus muscle by a “foreign” nerve 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Summary In rats the fast fibular nerve was transposed to the slow soleus muscle outside the original innervation band. Formation of new neuromuscular junctions was induced by cutting the soleus nerve after different periods of time. The morphological maturation of these junctions was studied by electron microscopy.New neuromuscular junctions do not form when the original innervation is left intact.Three to five days after denervation, vesicle-laden terminal boutons contact muscle fibers with only the basal lamina of the latter intervening. Three weeks after denervation, most boutons are larger and postsynaptic folds are present, although younger stages are also seen. Sixteen weeks after denervation, the neuromuscular junctions appear mature. This corresponds well with electrophysiological findings in the same material.The fully developed neuromuscular junctions sixteen weeks after denervation possess postsynaptic folds similar to those of normal fast muscle fibers. This suggests that the fast fibular nerve rather than the slow soleus muscle fibers determines the morphology of the postsynaptic folds.Possible trophic neuromuscular interactions are discussed.The authors are indebted to Mrs. Jorunn Line Vaaland, Miss Bjørg Riber, and Miss Berit Branil for technical assistance.

Summary The ultrastructural localization of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphatase (NADPase) in bovine Leydig cells has been studied and compared with the pattern of thiamine pyrophosphatase (TPPase) and acid phosphatase distribution in these cells. Using -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (-NADP+) as substrate, a marked staining is observed in the intermediate Golgi saccules with some focal extension to the trans aspect. Cisternae on the cis side and associated vesicles yielded only slightly positive reactions. The pattern of NADPase localization is clearly different from that of TPPase which consistently stains only the trans Golgi elements. The specifity of NADPase for its substrate, -NADP+, was clearly demonstrated by using substrates modified in either the nicotinamide region e.g. -nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (-NADP+), -thionicotinamide adenine dinuclcotide phosphate (Thio-NADP+), in the attachment site of the monoester phosphate group to the molecule (e.g. 2 monophospho-adenosine 5-diphosphoribose (ATP-ribose) or adenosine-5-monophosphate (5AMP). With these substrates only weak or negative reactions were obtained in the Golgi apparatus of the bovine Leydig cell. 相似文献

Neuroactive steroids and other positive modulators of GABAA receptors showed regional variation in both the efficacy and potency for modulation of [35S]TBPS binding to rat brain membrane homogenates, with biphasic concentration-dependence. GABA present in the binding assays prevented the enhancement phase of the steroid concentration-dependence plot while the antagonists bicuculline and RU5135 prevented the inhibition phase. Using recombinant GABAA receptors, expressed in insect cell line Sf9 using baculovirus, enhancement by steroids of [35S]TBPS binding was sensitive to the presence of the 2 subunit and the nature of the subunit (122S > 12, 62, 622S, and 62). As in cerebellum, addition of RU5135 reduced the inhibitory phase and revealed a small enhancement of TBPS binding by neuroactive steroids. The subunit-dependent interactions of steroid and GABA site ligands are consistent with a three-state model in which the receptor mono-liganded by GABA or steroid has a different affinity for TBPS than the resting state, and the receptor biliganded by GABA, steroid, or both has little affinity for TBPS. 相似文献

Uptake kinetics of nitrogen derived from sewage–seawater mixtures (2.5–20% v/v effluent) were determined in the laboratory for Ulva rigida (Chlorophyceae) native from Bahía Nueva (Golfo Nuevo, Patagonia, Argentine). In terms of nitrogen concentration, experimental enrichment levels varied between 53.7 and 362.3M of ammonium and between 0.77 and 6.21M of nitrate+nitrite. Uptake rates were fitted to the Michaelis–Menten equation, with the following kinetic parameters: ammonium: Vmax = 591.2molg–1h–1,
K
s=262.3M, nitrate+nitrite: V
max=12.9molg–1h–1, K
s=3.5M). Both nutrients were taken up simultaneously, but ammonium incorporation was faster in all cases. The results show a high capability of Ulva rigida to remove sewage-derived nitrogen from culture media. In the field, most of the nitrogen provided by the effluent would be tied up in algal biomass, supporting low nitrogen levels found at a short distance away from the source. 相似文献

D[3H]mannoheptulose was recently reported to be poorly taken up by tumoral pancreatic islet cells of the RINm5F and INS1 lines. We have now investigated the effects of Dmannoheptulose upon Dglucose metabolism in these two cell lines. Dmannoheptulose (1.0–10.0 mM) only caused a minor decrease of Dglucose metabolism in RINm5F cells, whether at low (1.1 mM) or higher (8.3 mM) Dglucose concentration. A comparable situation was found in INS1 cells examined after more than 20 passages. In both cases, however, the hexaacetate ester of Dmannoheptulose (5.0 mM) efficiently inhibited Dglucose metabolism. In the INS1 cells, the relative extent of the inhibitory action of Dmannoheptulose upon Dglucose metabolism increased from 12.4 ± 2.6 to 38.3 ± 3.8% as the number of passages was decreased from more than 20 to 13–15 passages, the latter percentage remaining lower, however, than that recorded in INS1 cells also examined after 13–15 passages but exposed to Dmannoheptulose hexaacetate (66.9 ± 2.2%). These findings when compared to our recent measurements of D[3H]mannoheptulose uptake, reinforce the view that the entry of the heptose into cells and, hence, its inhibitory action on Dglucose metabolism are dictated by expression of the GLUT2 gene. 相似文献

Summary In a previous paper, we have used the density of the population as a sort of measure of the unknown size n of the isolates in Dahlberg's model, and shown an inverse relation between the coefficient of inbreeding and the density of the arrondissements. In the present paper, as the considered communes are smaller territorial subdivisions than arrondissements, we used, instead of the density, the population size of the communes. The results are even more eloquent as before: the inbreeding coefficients are large when the observed population size is small; the relative importance of second cousin marriages (233) versus cousin marriages (222) is greater in the latest period considered. The basic data have been collected for each commune in Belgium by Centre National de Radiobiologie et de Génétique. 相似文献

A K+-selective,three-state channel from fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum of frog leg muscle 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Summary Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) vesicles from frog leg muscle were fused with a planar phospholipid bilayer by a method described previously for rabbit SR. As a result of the fusion, K+-selective conduction channels are inserted into the bilayer. Unlike the two-state rabbit channel, the frog channel displays three states: a nonconducting (closed) state and two conducting states and . In 0.1m K+ the single-channel conductances are 50 and 150 pS for and , respectively. The probabilities of appearearance of the three states are voltage-dependent, and transitions between the closed and states proceed through the state. Both open states follow a quantitatively identical selectivity sequence in channel conductance: K+>NH

>Rb+>Na+>Li+>Cs+. Both open states are blocked by Cs+ asymmetrically in a voltage-dependent manner. The zero-voltage dissociation constant for blocking is the same for both open states, but the voltage-dependences of the Cs+ block for the two states differ in a way suggesting that the Cs+ blocking site is located more deeply inside the membrane in the than in the state. 相似文献

Zusammenfassung In der Meerschweinchenzirbeldrüse lassen sich elektronenmikroskopisch helle und dunkle Pinealzellen sowie einzelne Gliazellen nachweisen. In den bei weitem überwiegenden hellen Pinealzellen zeichnet sich ein Teil der vesicle-crowned rodlets (VCR) durch lokale Auftreibungen aus. Von VCR deutlich abzugrenzen sind die vesicle-crowned balls (VCB). Erstmalig beschrieben wird das Vorkommen von sog. Zylindern, die als Vorstufen von VCB aufgefaßt werden. In den relativ seltenen dunklen Pinealzellen, die sich durch chromatinreiche Kerne und elektronendichtes Zytoplasma auszeichnen, sind Vesikel, VCR, VCB und Zylinder seltener als in hellen Pinealzellen. Die reichlich vorhandenen marklosen Nervenfasern finden sich vor allem in perivasculären Räumen, seltener im Parenchym. Synapsen zwischen Nerven und Pinealzellen wurden nicht beobachtet. In den Zirbeldrüsen trächtiger Meerschweinchen zeichnen sich in der 2. Hälfte der Tragzeit die hellen Pinealzellen durch stärkere Lappung der Kerne, gehäuftes Auftreten von laktiven Zonen, Vermehrung von Mitochondrien, glattem ER, agranulären Vesikeln, VCR, VCB und Zylindern aus. Die dunklen Pinealzellen nehmen während der Tragzeit an Zahl zu. Post partum bilden sich diese Veränderungen innerhalb einer Woche zurück. Längerer Aufenthalt der Tiere in Dunkelheit führt zu einer Aktivierung der hellen Pinealzellen mit auffallender Vermehrung der VCR und zu einer Zunahme der dunklen Zellen. Unter Dauerbelichtung kommt es in den hellen Zellen zu einer Abnahme fast aller Zellorganellen und zu einer starken Vermehrung der VCR, die nach 70 Tagen auch Formveränderungen aufweisen. Nach Reserpinbehandlung beobachtet man eine Verminderung und degenerative Veränderungen der VCR. Es wird diskutiert, daß die VCR als prae- bzw. postsynaptische Strukturen der Erregungsübertragung von Nerven zu Pinealzellen bzw. von Pinealzellen untereinander dienen könnten.
The fine structure of the pineal gland of normal, pregnant and experimentally affected guinea-pigs
Summary By means of electron microscopy light and dark pinealocytes can be distinguished in the guinea-pig pineal gland. Glial cells are rare. In the light pinealocyte. the most frequent cell type, some vesicle-crowned rodlets (VCR) show circumscribed thickenings. From these structures vesicle-crowned balls (VCB) have to be clearly distinguished. Furthermore cylinders occur, which, it is suggested, are precursors of VCB. Dark pinealocytes characterized by chromatin-rich nuclei and electron-dense cytoplasm are rare and contain fewer vesicles, VCR, VCB and cylinders than light pinealocytes. Numerous non-myelinated nerve fibres are situated within perivascular spaces, a few also in the parenchyma. Synapses between nerve fibres and pinealocytes were not observed. In the pineal gland of pregnant guinea-pigs the following changes can be observed in the second half of gestation. The light cells show many nuclear indentations and an increase of active zones, mitochondria, smooth ER, agranular vesicles, VCR, VCB, and cylinders respectively. The dark cells increase in number. After birth these changes reverse to normal within one week. Constant darkness leads to an activation of the light cells accompanied by an increase of the VCR and to an increase in number of the dark cells. Under constant illumination the light cells show a decrease of their organelles and a strong increase of the VCR. After 70 days the VCR also show a change in shape. Following reserpine treatment the VCR decrease in number and show signs of degeneration. It is discussed that the VCR function as pre- or postsynaptic structures and that they are involved either in transmitting impulses from nerve fibres to pinealocytes or from one pinealocyte to the other.

In the present report, we used serological, cellular, and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) to investigate the DR1 haplotype in the Israeli population. We describe an Israeli homozygous typing cell (HTC), HLA-DwLVA, which defines a new lymphocyte-activating determinant associated with Bw65, DR1 and distinct from Dwl. The parents of this donor, non-Ashkenazi Algerian Jews, are first cousins and share HLA-Cw8, Bw65, BfS, DR1, DQw1, DPw4. No specificity could be assigned to HLA-DwLVA using the 91 Ninth Workshop HTCs. Two families and forty unrelated DR1 individuals were studied with DwLVA and a panel of DR1/Dw1 HTCs. HLA-DwLVA showed segregation as a single determinant within families. This new specificity was present in 24 out of 40 (60%) unrelated DR1 individuals, indicating that in the Israeli population DwLVA is the main lymphocyte-defined determinant associated with the serologically defined DRI specificity, in contrast to non-Jewish Caucasoids where DR1 is significantly associated with Dw1. The vast majority of DwLVA-positive carriers were also Bw65 carriers, indicating that Bw65, DR1, DwLVA may represent a typical allele combination in the Israeli population. The RFLP analysis established the correlation of certain RFLPs with Dw1 and DwLVA. In addition, we describe a cluster of RFLPs that may correspond to a new Dw subtype associated with DR1, for which no serological and cellular reagents have been described so far. 相似文献

Incubation of synthetic Man\1-4GlcNAc-OMe, GalNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Glc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, and GlcNAc1-4GlcNac-OMe with CMP-Neu5Ac and rat liver Gal1-4GlcNAc (2-6)-sialyltransferase resulted in the formation of Neu5Ac2-6Man1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Neu5Ac2-6GalNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, Neu5Ac2-6Glc1-4GlcNAc-OMe and Neu5Ac2-6GlcNAc1-4GlcNAc-OMe, respectively. Under conditions which led to quantitative conversion of Gal1-4GlcNAc-OEt into Neu5Ac2-6Gal1-4GlcNAc-OEt, the aforementioned products were obtained in yields of 4%, 48%, 16% and 8%, respectively. HPLC on Partisil 10 SAX was used to isolate the various sialyltrisaccharides, and identification was carried out using 1- and 2-dimensional 500-MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy.Abbreviations 2D

Annual nitrogen and phosphorus budgets for the whole North Sea taking into account the most recent data available were established. The area considered has a total surface of approximately 700,000km2 and corresponds to the definition by OSPARCOM (Oslo and Paris Commission) with the exclusion of the Skagerrak and Kattegat areas. Input and output fluxes were determined at the marine, atmospheric, sediment and continental boundaries, and riverine inputs based on river flows and nutrient concentrations at the river–estuary interface were corrected for possible estuarine retention. The results showed that the North Sea is an extremely complex system subjected to large inter-annual variability of marine water circulation and freshwater land run-off. Consequently, resulting total N (TN) and P (TP) fluxes are extremely variable from 1 year to another and this has an important influence on the budget of these elements. Total inputs to the North Sea are 8870±4860kTNyear–1 and 494±279kTPyear–1. Denitrification is responsible for the loss of 23±7% of the TN inputs while sediment burial is responsible for the retention of only of 2±2% of the TP input. For TN, due to the large variability on marine and estuarine fluxes, and to the uncertainty related to the denitrification rate, it was concluded that the North Sea could either be a source (1930kTNyear–1) or a sink (1700kTNyear–1) for the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. For TP it was concluded that the North Sea is mostly a source (–4 to 52kTPyear–1) for the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. 相似文献
