大仓鼠种群季节存活率的估算

本文依据夹捕法所获得的大仓鼠种群总数量和孕鼠数量等数据资料,探讨一种估算种群季节存活率的方法。其原理如下: 设NP_K、N_K和D_K分别为第K次取样时孕鼠数量、总数量和采样间隔,L为平均胎仔数,T_1为可见胚胎发育历期,T_2为从胚胎起至其被捕获的平均历期。 首先将各取样时刻的NP_K,N_K依次连接成折线,求出对应时刻t的NP(t)和N(t)。然后可得到t时刻新增加孕鼠数量NNP(t)为NP(t+h)/T_1,这里h=1NT(T_1/2),1NT表示取整函数。若S(t)为t时刻瞬时存活率,且P(t)=S(0)·S(1)……S(t-1),即P(t)为从t=0时刻至t=t时刻之间的总存活率,则有: N(t+1)= S(t)·[N(t)+NNP(t-T_2)·L·P(t)/P(t-T_2)]这样便可求出瞬时存活率S(t)。 将上述计算步骤编译成Basic程序,对1986和1988年河北饶阳县大仓鼠种群季节存活率作了估算。

广义LESLIE矩阵模型的渐近分析

考虑昆虫种群的不等时间间隔的虫态历期和不同个体的历期差异,沈嘉骥等提出了广义Leslie矩阵模型。这是把Leslie矩阵模型推广到昆虫种群动态研究中一个很有意义的新进展。本文拟对该模型从数学理论上进行较深入的讨论。我们将看到,它是Leslie模型数学理论的一个自然推广。先将模型转述如下,我们用年表时间单位。设考虑的昆虫种群有m个虫态。N_i(k)=(n。(k),…,nτdi(k))(τ=1,…,m;k=1,2,…)。表示第七年的第i个虫态的年龄结构,d_i是第i虫态的最长历期。第k年的种群向量为n~T(k)=(n_1~T(k),…,n_m~T(k)),它的维数

本文将森林群落复杂性定义为消除群落中任意一个树木个体的种名及层次不确定性所需的平均信息量,提出用联合熵H(X,Y)测度群落复杂性.H(X,Y)=H(X)+H(Y|X),其中H(X)=-∑Si=1(ni)/(N)log2((ni)/(N)),H(Y|X)=-∑Si=1(ni)/(N)∑4j=1(nij)/(ni)log2((nij)/(ni)),分别为树种组成复杂性和树种结构复杂性.式中S为森林群落树种数,N为森林群落的树木总株数,ni(i=1,2,...,S)为第i个树种的株数,nij(j=1,2,3,4)为第i个树种在第j层次的株数.用联合熵分析了广东省封开县黑石顶自然保护区针叶林、针阔混交林和常绿阔叶林等3种典型森林类型的复杂性.结果表明,群落复杂性的顺序为常绿阔叶林>针阔混交林>针叶林.同时,各森林类型的群落复杂性H(X,Y)与取样尺度之间具有较好的分形关系.

大中型兽类种群数量估算的研究进展

大中型兽类种群数量的估算是动物生态学中重要的基本问题, 受到研究者、管理者和公众的共同关注。国际上从20世纪中期开始研究该问题, 已出现了多种研究方法和相应案例, 且还在快速发展, 但世界各地仍有很多物种的种群数量尚未知晓。在我国, 从20世纪80年代开始调查大中型兽类种群数量, 取得了重要进展, 也还有很多物种的种群数量尚不清楚。因此, 有必要归纳国际上种群数量估算的研究进展, 同时, 总结国内研究的现状、优势和趋势, 供研究者参考。本文首先选择估算大中型兽类种群数量的原理、数据来源和模型这3个要素归纳出简明的研究框架, 将现有的多种方法置于其中予以阐述。在该框架下, 根据估算原理分为4大类方法, 为距离取样法、标志重捕法、基于遇见率法和遥感影像直接计数法。针对每一大类方法, 论述其基本原理模型和模型假设, 说明能实现该原理的相应数据来源(视觉观测、红外相机拍摄、DNA微卫星识别、卫星定位跟踪、声音监测或遥感影像)的特点及如何实现该原理, 评价其适用性及优缺点, 并选择其中具有可比性的方法予以比较评价。其次, 参照该研究框架, 总结我国的研究现状, 分析未来发展的优势和趋势: 我国的红外相机数据积累充分, 可以发展以此为数据源的距离取样法、标志重捕法和基于遇见率法; 发展以粪便样品为数据来源的距离取样法和粪便DNA标志重捕法; 相比地面调查数据, 获取高分辨率遥感影像数据更容易, 尽量以此估算符合适用条件的大中型兽类的种群数量。最后, 本文提出了适用于我国大中型兽类种群数量的估算方法的选择流程, 供研究者参考。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.
