布氏田鼠合作贮食行为及其影响因素

合作贮食是社会性动物应对食物匮乏的重要对策,但其内在的生态学机制尚未阐明。本文以布氏田鼠为研究对象,根据亲缘关系划分为亲缘组和非亲缘组。在人工实验箱中录像统计不同组别合作贮食行为占用时间的差异,探究亲缘关系对合作贮食行为的影响,并利用相关性分析探究亲缘组个体对贮食的贡献—收益关系以及与贮食行为相关的个体特征因素。结果表明,在组间水平上,与非亲缘组相比,亲缘组的布氏田鼠表现更多的合作贮食。在亲缘组个体水平上,不同个体对贮食的参与度和贡献度存在很大差异。个体对合作贮食的付出与其取食的收益呈显著负相关关系,并且个体合作贮食贡献越大,其睾丸指数和睾酮含量降低越显著。研究结果说明,亲缘关系的存在有利于布氏田鼠的合作贮食,但合作贮食贡献大的个体,其繁殖受到了抑制。     

圈养林麝麝香分泌时间节律及影响因素

在2016年和2017年的5—8月,我们对川西马尔康麝场圈养林麝（Moschus berezovskii）的麝香分泌进行了行为与生理监测,对麝香分泌的各阶段进行了准确判定,记录了泌香启动、泌香盛期开始、泌香盛期终止及泌香结束的时间阶段及持续时间长,分析了林麝麝香分泌的时间阶段与体重和年龄等因素的关系。结果表明,马尔康麝场的雄性林麝平均泌香启动日在6月16日[（167.06±7.75）d,n=141],于6月17日进入泌香盛期[（168.52±7.67）d,n=141],6月21日[（172.17±7.26）d, n=138]泌香活动减弱,至6月25日[（176.27±8.11）d, n=131]泌香结束;雄麝体重与其泌香启动、泌香盛期停止及泌香结束时间呈显著负相关（r_PS = -0.234,P_PS =0.028;r _VSF = -0.215,P_VSF = 0.047;r _SE = -0.229,P_SE = 0.043）,即雄麝的体重越大,其泌香越早;各年龄组间的平均泌香时长差异显著（F _{17, 113} = 3.482, P = 0.003）,其中2岁雄麝平均泌香时长最长[（13.07±2.08）d, n=20],显著高于3岁[（9.38±0.76）d, n=12, P = 0.042]和4岁[（7.80±1.60）d, n=5, P = 0.013]个体;马尔康林麝平均泌香量为（11.85g±0.96）g, （n=114）,随泌香时长延长有增加趋势,但不显著（P = 0.854）。基于上述林麝雄体的泌香时间、泌香量与年龄和体重等因素间的关联,可对圈养的林麝个体间的泌香力、泌香量等进行区分和预判,作为圈养林麝驯养生产力优化的依据,并可为圈养林麝优质品系的选育提供参考。     

黄土高原次生林演替过程土壤氮矿化特征及其影响因素

土壤氮矿化速率限制着森林土壤有效氮素供给能力,但目前关于黄土高原次生林演替过程土壤氮矿化特征的认识还不清楚。选择黄土高原黄龙山次生林区草本阶段、灌木阶段、先锋乔木群落阶段、混交森林群落阶段和顶级森林群落阶段等5个演替阶段的9种群落类型,测定了其林下土壤氮矿化速率,并分析了土壤理化性质、凋落物养分特征和土壤酶活性及其对氮矿化的影响。结果表明:随着演替进展,土壤有机碳和氮不断积累,土壤硝态氮和铵态氮含量逐渐增加,凋落物养分和土壤酶活性也发生了显著变化。土壤硝化速率从草本群落阶段到顶级森林群落阶段显著增加了71.73%;土壤氨化速率一直为负值且持续负向增加;土壤净矿化速率从草本群落阶段的(0.16±0.06) mg kg^-1 d^-1逐渐增加到混交森林阶段的(0.31±0.08)mg kg^-1 d^-1,但从混交林群落到顶级森林群落阶段有所下降。土壤理化性质(路径系数-0.530)和酶活性(路径系数-0.268)对氮矿化速率有显著的直接作用;凋落物养分对氮矿化速率的影响来自于其直接作用(路径系数-0.283)和通过调控土壤理化性质、酶活性产生的间接影响(路径系数-0.315)。结果有助于认识黄土高原植被演替过程中土壤氮循环过程,对森林可持续经营也有一定的意义。     

影响农杆菌介导的木薯基因转化因素的研究

Factors influencing agrobacterium-mediated cassava transformation were investigated. Among the four Agrobacterium strains tested, LBA 4404 (pTOK 233) and LBA 4404 (pBin9GusInt) gave higher transient expression than C 58 C1 (pIG121Hm) and EHA 105 (pBin9Husint). Pretreatment of explants by bombardment or vaccum had no significant effect on transient expression while preinduction of Agrobacterium with acetosyringone showed better effects, and preculture of explants showed worse effects. All the cultivars tested were susceptible to Agrobacterium infection, while the types of explants and the physiological state of the explants had a strong influence on the transient expression efficiency. The 15-day-old somatic cotyledons and the fully expanded leaves from in vitro plantlets were the most susceptible to Agrobacterium infection. The results also showed that all the four selective reagents (hygromycin, geneticin, PPT, and kanamycin) synchronously suppressed the growth of callus, shoot organogenesis and shoot rooting in a dose dependent manner.

青藏高原东南部森林群落生态位特征与物种多样性的影响因素

青藏高原东南部的东喜马拉雅地区和横断山区是全球生物多样性热点区,也是青藏高原重要的生态安全屏障区,但对该区域森林群落的生态位特征以及多样性相关研究较少。收集和整理了分布于青藏高原东南部的乔木植物及其科属特征,并分析主要优势物种的生态位特征以及森林群落多样性的影响因素。采用"Levins"方法计算优势物种的生态位宽度和生态位重叠值;随后,使用方差比率法、 χ²检验、Association coefficient联结系数和Ochiai指数等方法分析了种间联结性;最后,使用方差分解方法计算了每个环境因素对植物多样性的解释率。研究结果表明:(1)位于东喜马拉雅地区和横断山区森林群落共有植物42科71属119种,物种组成主要以松科(17种)、杜鹃花科(10种)、桦木科(9种)、无患子科(8种)和樟科(6种)为主;(2)该地区所有种植物生态位重叠值较低(平均值为0.027),并且生态位重叠值为0的种对数最多,说明森林群落整体竞争较小,处于一个相对稳定的状态;(3)生态位宽度值由高到低的物种依次为:冷杉、杜鹃、云南铁杉、川西云杉、落叶松、黄背栎、高山栎、花楸、石栎和云南松,这10种植物在森林群落占据优势地位;(4)种间关联结果显示方差比率大于1,说明森林群落中物种间存在较强的正关联,群落内各个物种占据的不同生态位,合理地利用各种资源;(5)年均温和坡向被认为是影响该地区森林群落物种多样性最关键的两个环境因子;(6)森林群落在年均温为7-11℃的地区和半阳坡的地形中,群落植物多样性最高。     

Pathologic processes as factors influencing the genotypic structure of populations]

Pathological processes, which take place in a population, can play an important role in the determination of the genotypical structure of the population. It is demonstrated by the analysis of a relation between blood genotypical markers and children lethality. It is found that the summary elimination of A+A+AB phenotypes with respect to O phenotype in ABO system reliably differs only within 1--6 months, and in MN system (the elimination of M phenotype)--only within the period of mortinatality. Certain preference of heterozygous genotypes for the MN system at this period is observed, which is the first case studied for normal features of humans. The elimination of rhesus-negative phenotypes is observed for the rhesus system at all the ontogenesis stages studied. A problem of isolating a genotypical component, which takes place on children lethality, is discussed. It solution will open an efficient prophylaxis of children lethality.     

Acoustic signalling in female fish: factors influencing sound characteristics in croaking gouramis

The characteristics of sounds produced by fishes are influenced by several factors such as size. The current study analyses factors affecting structural properties of acoustic signals produced by female croaking gouramis Trichopsis vittata during agonistic interactions. Female sounds (although seldom analysed separately from male sounds) can equally be used to investigate factors affecting the sound characteristics in fish. Sound structure, dominant frequency and sound pressure levels (SPL) were determined and correlated to body size and the order in which sounds were emitted. Croaking sounds consisted of series of single-pulsed or double-pulsed bursts, each burst produced by one pectoral fin. Main energies were concentrated between 1.3 and 1.5 kHz. The dominant frequency decreased with size, as did the percentage of single-pulsed bursts within croaking sounds. The SPL and the number of bursts within a sound were independent of size but decreased significantly with the order of their production. Thus, acoustic signals produced at the beginning of agonistic interactions were louder and consisted of more bursts than subsequent ones. Our data indicate that body size affects the dominant frequency and structure of sounds. The increase in the percentage of double-pulsed bursts with size may be due to stronger pectoral muscles in larger fish. In contrast, ongoing fights apparently result in muscle fatigue and subsequently in a decline in the number of bursts and SPL. The factor ‘order of sound production’ points to an intra-individual variability of sounds and should be considered in future studies.     

落叶阔叶林反照率的时间变化与影响因素

反照率原位测量对生态系统能量收支及其遥感应用至关重要,但目前坡面地形反照率的测量方式有局限且可见光与近红外波段反照率时间变化的差异尚不清楚。本研究以东北地区帽儿山森林生态站的落叶阔叶林为例,探究入射和反射太阳辐射(SR,300～2800 nm)、光合有效辐射(PAR,400～700 nm)、近红外辐射(NIR,700～2800 nm)的反照率时间变化特征及其影响因子,同时分析了两种辐射表安装方式反照率的差异。结果表明: 晴天SR和NIR反照率日变化呈上下午不对称的U型曲线,但PAR从早到晚递增;阴天反照率均先急剧下降后趋于稳定。平行于坡面测量增大了反照率的日均值,但缓和了SR、NIR反照率日不对称的现象。从整个生长季来看,SR、NIR与PAR反照率水平测量时最大值分别为0.16、0.27和0.11,最小值分别为0.07、0.11和0.03。SR和NIR反照率季节变化均为先增大后减小(7月为峰值),PAR则相反,SR反照率主要受NIR而不是PAR控制。各波段反照率季节变化的影响因子按照贡献率排序为宽带归一化植被指数(61.7%～78.5%,可表征叶面积指数)>太阳高度角(15.4%～36.9%)>晴空指数(0.4%～36.9%)。     

树木形成层活动及其影响因素研究进展

树木生长是森林生态系统固碳的主要方式,树木生长过程受到气候与非气候因素的共同作用。树木径向生长长期定位监测是明确树木生长对气候变化响应的重要研究手段。本文对运用微树芯法的树木形成层活动及径向生长过程研究进行了总结。首先,综述了气候因素对树木形成层活动的影响: 寒冷湿润区温度决定树木生长开始和停止,干旱半干旱区水分和温度共同决定生长开始,水分决定生长停止;生长速率和持续时间共同决定生长量,最大生长速率出现在夏至前后;短期施氮并不能影响树木径向生长动态。其次,探讨了生物因素对树木径向生长过程的调控: 形成层活动开始时间因树种、树龄、竞争关系而有所差异;非结构性碳水化合物的季节动态与径向生长过程相耦合。最后,阐述了气候因素和生物因素交互作用下树木次生生长的响应机制。针对以上进展,本文提出了目前研究尚存在的问题并展望了未来的发展前景,以期为进一步的科学研究提供参考。     

东北林区主要森林类型土壤有机碳密度及其影响因素

2011年在东北林区研究了5种主要森林类型(针叶混交林、针阔混交林、阔叶混交林、落叶松林和白桦林)4个林龄(幼龄林、中龄林、近熟林和过熟林)的土壤碳密度.结果表明: 东北林区不同森林类型的土壤有机碳含量和有机碳密度均以表层土壤最高,随土壤深度的增加逐渐减少,而随森林类型和林龄的变化并不显著;森林土壤有机碳主要集中在表层土壤,其中大兴安岭、小兴安岭和长白山森林0～20 cm土壤贮存了其剖面总有机碳密度的847%～86.1%、51.7%～59.8%和51.2%～53.4%.随纬度的增加,森林土壤总有机碳密度明显下降,可能与东北林区土壤发生层的厚度密切相关.     

广西主要森林植被碳储量及其影响因素

广西森林面积和覆盖率位居全国前列,在全国和区域碳平衡中起着至关重要的作用。正确评价广西森林植被碳储量、碳储量的时空格局及其影响因素对我国碳循环及碳汇研究具有十分重要的意义。为阐明广西森林植被碳储量分布格局及其主要影响因素,基于广西10类主要森林类型345个样地的调查,结合森林资源清查资料,估算广西主要森林植被碳储量,探讨广西不同森林类型、不同龄组、不同层次的碳储量组成与分配。采用地统计学方法描绘了植被碳密度空间分布,并采用主成分分析方法和回归分析方法分析了植被碳储量的影响因素。结果表明:广西主要森林植被总碳储量达到746.06 Tg(1Tg=10~(12) g),平均碳密度为55.37 t/hm~2,松树、杉木、桉树、栎类、软阔、硬阔、石山林、竹林、八角和油茶林对广西植被碳储量的贡献比例分别为26.83%、12.28%、6.67%、3.03%、20.37%、16.32%、10.84%、0.88%、1.38%和1.39%。各森林类型植被碳密度介于20.77—108.28 t/hm~2,大小顺序为硬阔软阔松树杉木栎类石山林桉树八角竹林油茶。广西区森林植被碳密度在7.05—219.73 t/hm~2之间,总体表现为广西北部、西南部和广西东部存在高值区,广西中部和东南部有明显的低值区。碳储量以乔木层占优势,且随林龄增大呈逐渐增加的趋势。影响广西植被碳储量的主控因子是平均胸径、林龄和林分密度,经度、碱解氮、全氮、有机碳是影响碳储量的关键因子。     

林木大年结实特征及其影响因素研究进展

大年结实是树木普遍的繁殖行为,在种群水平表现出较高的年际变化,存在不规律的间隔期。这种结实规律有利于调节捕食者种群数量,提高授粉效率,促进种子散布和降低种子捕食者的影响,是一种进化的生殖策略,但其对生产上种实高产稳产非常不利。本文综述了大年结实的特点以及大年结实对树木营养生长、资源消耗的影响,分析了影响大年结实的主要因素(碳水化合物、矿质养分、激素水平、气候因子等),最后提出了我国大年结实研究应该努力的方向。     

The genetic factors influencing the development of trichotillomania

Trichotillomania (TTM), an obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder (OCSD), is a psychiatric condition characterized by repetitive hair pulling. Evidence from family and twin studies suggest a heritable link of TTM. Functional polymorphisms in genes involved in neuronal pathways might influence the susceptibility to TTM. This review is an attempt to compile the genetic factors reported to modify the development of TTM.     

Some factors influencing the sensitivity of body temperature to activity in neonates

In adult humans, core temperature is influenced by activity; the sensitivity of core temperature to such effects shows a phase dependence and is also influenced by the environment and whether the individual is asleep or awake. We have investigated if similar effects are evident in neonates, in whom thermoregulation and the circadian rhythm of core temperature are not fully developed. Eleven full-term, healthy babies were studied singly (light 07:00-19:00) at 2 days of age and again 4 weeks after birth; between these times, they were tended routinely on a communal ward. On study days, 10-minute recordings were made of rectal and skin (abdominal) temperature, heart rate (HR), and behavioral state. Sensitivities of the temperatures to activity (“arousal”) were assessed throughout the 24h by measuring the gradient of (temperature/HR). Sensitivities measured at 01:00, 05:00, 09:00, 13:00,17:00, and 21:00 were used as dependent variables in stepwise regression and linear regression analyses, with “subjects” “light versus dark”, “behavioral state”, and “difference between time of measurement and the acrophase of the endogenous component of the temperature rhythm” (ignoring sign) as possible predictors. (Acrophases of the temperature rhythms had been estimated from 24h data purified using the behavioral state record.) Light versus dark acted as a significant predictor of the sensitivity of rectal temperature to arousal on day 2 and week 4, the sensitivity increasing in the light, and there was limited evidence for behavioral state acting as a predictor on day 2. Neither factor was a significant predictor when the sensitivity of the babies' skin temperatures to arousal was investigated. There was also some evidence that the difference between the time of measurement and the temperature acrophase acted as a predictor of sensitivity to arousal in both rectal (day 2) and skin (week 4) temperature, with larger differences decreasing the sensitivity. These results indicate that there are masking effects on body temperature due to arousal in neonates, the size of which depends on both internal and external factors. However, this sensitivity of temperature to arousal shows differences from the sensitivity of temperature to physical activity in both adult humans and adult mice. One possible explanation of this result is that temperature regulation and the circadian system are not fully developed in humans at this age.

迁地保育林麝体况及影响因素

通过建立基于外貌性状的量化性体况评分标准,于2012年7—10月间对四川马尔康麝场的586头圈养林麝(雌麝299头,雄麝287头)进行了体况评分,并分析了相关变量对林麝体况得分的效应,结果表明:马尔康麝场圈养林麝的体况评分均值为3.49(±0.02,n=586),大部分林麝(59.56%,n=349)的体况评分高于均值。雌麝体况评分均值(3.50±0.02,n=299)略高于雄麝(3.49±0.03,n=287)(P0.05),成体麝体况评分(3.59±0.02,n=291)极显著地高于老龄林麝(3.38±0.09,n=27)和亚成林麝(3.35±0.03,n=184)(P0.01)。林麝的体况得分与其年龄相关不显著(r=0.07,P0.05),但亚成体及成体麝的体况评分与其年龄间的相关极显著(亚成体r=0.19,P0.01;成体r=-0.16,P0.01),而老龄麝体况评分与其年龄略呈负相关(r=-0.23,P0.05)。S模型y=e1.2811-0.0885/a(R2=0.051,df=500,F=26.74,P0.01)可近似拟合林麝体况得分和年龄的关系。此外,马尔康麝场泥地基底的改装圈舍中的林麝体况(3.52±0.03,n=197)显著优于原装青砖圈舍林麝评分(3.47±0.02,n=389)(P0.05)。
