福建省黑脸琵鹭的分布及栖息地现状

2003年3月~2006年4月,对福建省海岸湿地的黑脸琵鹭(Platalea minor)及其栖息地进行了研究。在福建省越冬的黑脸琵鹭约60~90只,每年迁徙停歇的种群数量在80只以上,黑脸琵鹭主要选择河口的滩涂湿地作为越冬和迁徙停歇地。栖息地的丧失和破坏是其面临的最大生存威胁。实施湿地保护和可持续利用工程,并帮助当地政府和民众寻找到发挥湿地更高经济效益的产业是保护黑脸琵鹭栖息地的重要途径。     

福建省兴化湾黑脸琵鹭的越冬及迁徙

福建省兴化湾是我国大陆黑脸琵鹭(Platalea minor)最重要的越冬地之一.2005年1月至2008年4月连续4个冬季的调查显示,在湾内的江镜华侨农场越冬的黑脸琵鹭种群数量为40~60只,其中2007年越冬种群的数量较前3个冬季显著增加.黑脸琵鹭主要栖息在农场面积约320 hm2的养殖塘内,多集群.昼间栖息的各种行为中休息行为所占比例最高,达到80%;其次是维护行为,约10%;觅食等其他行为所占的比例很低,因此养殖塘主要作黑脸琵鹭昼间的休息场所之用.兴化湾同时是黑脸琵鹭重要的迁徙停歇地,2007年秋季南迁的时间为11月3日至12月12日;2008春季北迁的时间为3月8日至4月加日.江镜华侨农场南迁停歇的种群数量约为136只,北迁的数量约为226只.春季北迁种群中具繁殖羽的个体比例最高时超过60%,表明种群中能够参与繁殖的个体数量较多.建议加强兴化湾滩涂及养殖塘人工湿地的科学管理,促进黑脸琵鹭的保护.     

请给水鸟留下最后的空间

我国沿海各省区都有重要的滨海湿地需要加强保护。人类要生存,工业要发展,在开发和保护中间应该能找到一个平衡点。我认为有几个重要的区域尤其应该加强保护,例如珠江的入海口、深圳湾以及香港的米埔湿地是我国华南十分重要的水鸟越冬地和迁徙中途停歇地,是黑脸琵鹭等水鸟的重要越冬区,闽江口是中华凤头燕鸥、卷羽鹈鹕的主要栖息地之一;江苏盐城的沿海滩涂几乎集中了中国境内90%以上的丹顶鹤越冬群体,上海的崇明岛为鸻鹬类极其重要的迁徙     

福建兴化湾黑脸琵鹭觅食生境的鱼类和虾类组成

黑脸琵鹭(Platalea minor)的食物主要由鱼类和虾类组成,对其觅食生境中潜在食物的分析有助于对该濒危物种的保护。福建兴化湾是我国大陆黑脸琵鹭最重要的越冬地之一,对湾内越冬黑脸琵鹭的观察发现,黑脸琵鹭白天在养殖塘休息,黄昏则飞到离养殖塘约8km处的滩涂觅食至黎明返回。在黑脸琵鹭觅食的滩涂共采集到42种鱼类和6种虾类。根据对体长、生活习性和数量状况的分析,认为其中的19种鱼类和6种虾类为黑脸琵鹭的潜在食物,以鲻科鱼类最为重要。建议对黑脸琵鹭的保护应重视其觅食滩涂生境中鱼类和虾类资源的保护。     

寻找黑脸琵鹭觅食地

黑脸琵鹭的觅食地在哪里?民以食为天,鸟为食而亡。弄清黑脸琵鹭的食物来源,对保护它们至关重要。     

在中国越冬的黑脸琵鹭

黑脸琵鹭是全球极度濒危的鸟种之一,是中国23种濒危鸟类中被列为世界极危级的5种之一,数目比大熊猫更稀少,现全球仅存1000只左右,而且仅在亚洲出现。国际《拉萨姆湿地公约》规定,如果一个地区的黑脸琵鹭超过全球数量的1%,就应该纳入国际重要湿地保护区,可见其濒危程度。黑脸琵鹭因长有黑脸及琵琶状鸟喙而得名。夏秋两季主要在朝鲜和中国东北部繁殖,越冬时飞往中国东南部及越南,在我国主要分布于东北至华南沿海,长江流域、海南岛、台湾、香港。我国发现的大都为迁徙及越冬种群,台湾的曾文溪口(最多找到363只)和香港的米埔湿地(最多找到135只)是黑脸琵鹭的最主要越冬地。     

黑脸琵鹭越冬分布和保护

黑脸琵鹭(Platalea minor)属鹳形目、鹮科、琵鹭属,仅分布于亚洲东部,在我国东北(Schauensee,1984)和朝鲜(Kennerley 1989)繁殖,多在我国东南沿海越冬。由于数量稀少我国列入二级保护动物,是国际组织(IUCN)关注的世界濒危鸟类。据1994～1995年冬季黑脸琵鹭分布及数量的报道(Thomas D. D and Mary L. F, 1995),全世界发现有黑脸琵鹭越冬栖息地8处,总数量为422只(图1)。     

海南黑脸琵鹭的越冬行为分析

黑脸琵鹭(Plataleaminor)是全球濒危鸟类之一。海南北黎湾是继我国香港和台湾之后发现的黑脸琵鹭第三个重要的越冬地。为了深入了解黑脸琵鹭在该地的保护状况,以及影响其种群越冬的致危因素,作者于2004年1–3月,采用瞬时扫描和焦点动物观察法对北黎湾黑脸琵鹭的越冬行为进行了观察。结果表明:(1)在黑脸琵鹭的各种行为中,休息行为所占的比例最大,为69.72%;其次是站立行为,为10.42%;护理行为位居第3,占10.36%;位移、取食和社会行为在白天所占的比例相对较低。(2)白天黑脸琵鹭休息行为有明显的高峰和低谷,8:00–17:00主要以休息为主,而在17:00以后,休息行为明显减少,护理、取食和站立行为有所增加。位移和社会行为发生率较低,呈间歇性变化。黑脸琵鹭各种行为之间在持续时间上有显著差异,其中以休息行为持续时间最长,其次是取食行为,而行走行为持续时间最短。(3)黑脸琵鹭的取食频次在各时间段也有显著的差异,在16:00以后取食的频次较高。(4)黑脸琵鹭的取食行为受潮汐的影响,过高和过低的水位都将影响其取食活动。最后针对性地提出了黑脸琵鹭及其越冬地的保护和管理计划。     

深圳湾湿地的黑脸琵鹭及其保护

深圳湾湿地是世界濒危鸟类-黑脸琵鹭最重要的越冬栖息地之一。1999-2000年在此越冬的黑脸琵鹭数量178只,约占世界总数量的25%。近十年来深圳湾湿地黑脸琵鹭的数量逐年增加,主要原因可能是由于其它湿地环境恶化而使黑脸琵鹭集中到深圳湾,这种情况对黑脸琵鹭的生存和发展是不利的。深圳湾湿地生态环境存在诸多问题,使该湿地生态系统环境质量不断下降,因此,提出了保护深圳湾湿地生态环境的若干建议。     

广东海丰鸟类自然保护区黑脸琵鹭越冬种群现状

黑脸琵鹭(Platalea minor)是全球性濒危鸟类,广东海丰鸟类自然保护区作为新发现的重要越冬地,具有全球保护意义.2004~2007年对保护区内黑脸琵鹭越冬种群的调查结果表明,该越冬种群数量逐年增加(27~72只),占全球总数比例也相应增加(2.2%~4.1%).其主要分布在红树林、沿海滩涂和人工养殖塘3种生境,其中,沿海滩涂累计记录到的个体数最多,达217只;人工养殖塘记录剑最大集群,为52只.需积极采取有效措施保护该越冬种群及其生境.     

Three-parameter lognormal distribution ubiquitously found in cDNA microarray data and its application to parametric data treatment

Background  

To cancel experimental variations, microarray data must be normalized prior to analysis. Where an appropriate model for statistical data distribution is available, a parametric method can normalize a group of data sets that have common distributions. Although such models have been proposed for microarray data, they have not always fit the distribution of real data and thus have been inappropriate for normalization. Consequently, microarray data in most cases have been normalized with non-parametric methods that adjust data in a pair-wise manner. However, data analysis and the integration of resultant knowledge among experiments have been difficult, since such normalization concepts lack a universal standard.

Common interchange standards for proteomics data: Public availability of tools and schema

The Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) aims to define community standards for data representation in proteomics and to facilitate data comparision, exchange and verification. To this end, a Level 1 Molecular Interaction XML data exchange format has been developed which has been accepted for publication and is freely available at the PSI website (http.//psidev.sf.net/). Several major protein interaction databases are already making data available in this format. A draft XML interchange format for mass spectrometry data has been written and is currently undergoing evaluation whilst work is ongoing to develop a proteomics data integration model, MIAPE.     

THE CONDUCTIVITIES OF AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF GLYCINE,d,l-VALINE,AND l-ASPARAGINE

1. The conductivities of aqueous solutions of glycine, d,l-valine, and l-asparagine have been determined, and comparisons have been made with similar data reported in the literature. 2. On the basis of certain theoretical considerations, calculations of the expected conductivities of aqueous solutions of glycine, asparagine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid have been made and these data have been compared with similar data obtained experimentally. 3. The dissociation constants of the carboxyl groups of aspartic acid and glutamic acid have been calculated from conductivity data. 4. It is shown that alanine has no effect on the ionic atmosphere of solutions of potassium chloride.     

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference technique for estimation of light penetration in reservoirs

An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference technique has been adopted to estimate light levels in a reservoir. The data were collected randomly from Doğanci Dam Reservoir over a number of years. The input data set is a matrix with vectors of time, depth, sampling location, and incident solar radiation. The output data set is a vector representing light measured at various depths. Randomization and logarithmic transformations have been applied as preprocessing. One-half of the data have been utilized for training; testing and validation steps utilized one-fourth each. An adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) has been built as a prediction model for light penetration. Very high correlation values between predictions and real values on light measurements with relatively low root mean square error values have been obtained for training, test, and validation data sets. Elimination of the overtraining problem was ensured by satisfying close root mean square error values for all sets.     

Guanine plus cytosine contents of the deoxyribonucleic acids of some sulfate-reducing bacteria: a reassessment

Guanine plus cytosine (GC) contents of the deoxyribonucleic acids of Desulfovibrio and Desulfotomaculum have been used as a basis for classification. Some of these data have been incorrectly calculated, resulting in errors of as much as 5% GC. This situation has been corrected by a reanalysis of existing data and by the contribution of new data.     

The mechanism of the phosphoryl transfer catalyzed by Yersinia protein-tyrosine phosphatase: a computational and isotope effect study.

In order to evaluate various mechanistic proposals that have been made regarding the mechanism of the first step of the reaction catalyzed by protein-tyrosine phosphatases, new experimental data have been obtained, and some existing data have been carefully reevaluated. New kinetic isotope effect data for the uncatalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate allow a better evaluation of previously reported data from enzymatic reactions with this substrate. The interpretation, and misinterpretation, of pH rate studies is considered. The pathway of this reaction has been modeled computationally and is found to be generally consistent with experimental studies, except for the extent of proton transfer to the leaving group.     

An estimation of joint kinematics for a standing reach task using ground reaction data

The objective of this work was to derive a procedure able to estimate joint kinematics, relative to a simple, yet functionally relevant, motor task, starting from ground reaction data. The minimum number of input data has been used: force platform data, few and simple measurements relative to the subject, and protocol-specific parameters. Standing reach (SR) is the motor task analysed. The biomechanical model is a two degrees-of-freedom inverted pendulum moving on the vertical sagittal plane. Joint kinematics has been estimated solving the related direct dynamic problem stated in function of ground reaction data. The original nonlinear differential equation system of the model showed a high sensitivity to errors affecting initial conditions and experimental input data. Consequently, an approximate solution has been looked for in order to reduce the coupling between the model differential equations. This was possible taking into account the peculiar characteristics of the motor task. An optimization procedure has been deemed necessary in order to minimize the effects of the assumed approximation. The method has been tested both with simulated and with experimental data. In this latter case the validation of the angular kinematics estimated by the proposed method has been performed by means of data obtained by a stereophotogrammetric system. Results show a satisfactory behaviour of the whole optimization procedure. Very good results have been obtained in the case of slow reaching tasks.
