Abstract
A typical, small encatchment (catena B?lkendorf) in the moraine, northeast German agricultural landscape Schorfheide-Chorin
was studied with respect to summit, midslope, and foot-slope positions at northern and southern slope exposure, respectively,
including a central noncultivated kettle hole position (pot hole). Across the sequence of seven distinct sampling positions,
soil organic carbon and total nitrogen contents, soil gravimetric water content, and soil microbial biomass displayed maxima
at the kettle hole position. Soil pH revealed a decreasing trend at the northern exposed slope and a minimum at the kettle
hole position. Against this background, the population density of total culturable bacteria clearly displayed a minimum at
the kettle hole position, whereas the population density of carboxymethylcellulose decomposing bacteria was not clearly differentiated
in relation to sampling positions.
To study the phylogenetic diversity of culturable cellulolytic bacteria, 311 isolates were obtained from the sampling positions
across the entire encatchment and examined by restriction analysis of PCR-amplified 16S rDNA. Using the restriction enzyme
ScrFI, isolates were classified into 31 pattern groups. Although the ratio of actinomycetes within total isolates ranged from
0.73 to 0.94, only 16 pattern groups originated from actinomycetes, but 15 from other bacteria. At all sampling positions,
a dominant pattern group was identified, containing 38 to 65% of total isolates. Two site-specific pattern groups could be
identified, representing significant parts of the total population, which were highly specific for the kettle hole (19% of
total isolates) and for foot- and midslope positions (15–18% of total isolates), respectively. In general, the composition
of cellulolytic isolates across the encatchment displayed differences with respect to slope positions, but was not significantly
affected by soil properties. Based on 16S rDNA sequence analysis, isolates of the dominant as well as the specific pattern
groups could be assigned to the genus Streptomyces. Furthermore, sequencing of 16S rDNA of isolates of another three pattern groups revealed a high phylogenetic diversity among
these isolates, including cellulomonads and bacilli.

The analysis of vegetation pattern in semi-arid eucalypt woodland by Harrington et al, (1981), and its recent critique by Dale (1982), place insufficient emphasis on the important role of successive approximation in pattern analysis. A single stage analysis can reveal first order patterns effectively, but is generally ineffective and inefficient in revealing vegetation patterns of higher order, no matter how sophisticated the numerical techniques employed. For a given total analytical effort, a more effective and efficient strategy to reveal such higher order patterns will generally be to partition the overall analytical effort into successive stages of sampling and interpretation, one stage for each order of pattern, with the sampling strategy at each stage based on the patterns determined during previous stages. 相似文献

The English umbrella net is a new-design vertical closing netdeveloped to sample zooplankton populations in under-ice environments.Operating on the principle of an umbrella, this wide-mouth netfits through a hole drilled in sea ice and expands below theice to sample the water column. A messenger-activated releasecloses the net for a discrete sample and collapses the frameso that it can be retrieved back through the hole in the ice.Nets of this design were used for extensive sampling on Fletcher'sIce Island (T-3) in the Arctic Ocean. 相似文献

A variable density sampling pattern based on Bayesian statistics is presented and compared to a uniform density statistical pattern and a judgmental approach in a real case study. The Bayesian statistics, supported by a software tool, supplied a soil sampling plan similar to the judgmental one, especially for the number of sampling points and their location. It allowed statistical goals to be set and expert judgment to be included in the sampling strategy in a transparent and systematic procedure. For these reasons, it appears quite suitable for inclusion into Quality Assurance Quality Control plans. 相似文献

Distributional ecology and behaviour of the early life stages of the box-jellyfish Chironex fleckeri
Laboratory observations on reared life stages of Chironex fleckeri (Cubozoa: Chirodropidae) have been combined with field sampling and observations to outline the life cycle of the species and the spatial and temporal distribution of populations in Queensland, Australia. A seasonal alternation of polypoid and medusoid generations from winter to summer respectively is accompanied by a shift in preferred habitat from tidal estuaries to the open eulittoral zone. The system appears to be constrained by predictable fluctuations in the suitability of the alternate habitats to their resident generations. Observations on behaviour, feeding, physiological tolerances, and sexual and asexual reproduction provide insights into the adaptiveness of this pattern. 相似文献

The arbitrary-primed PCR (AP-PCR) technique was employed with the twin goals of identifying genetic polymorphisms within the Indian isolates and to identify differentially expressed gene sequences. The parasite isolates from Indian Kala-azar patients could be differentiated from Leishmania donovani isolates from distinct geographic regions. Moreover, differences within the Indian isolates could also be identified. A majority (17/19) of the Indian isolates gave identical AP-PCR pattern, while two isolates gave consistently divergent pattern. The distinctive AP-PCR fragments obtained with Indian isolates were used as probes in Northern blot analysis. Three such fragments were found to represent transcribed sequences that were differentially expressed in the two stages of the parasite. These sequences led to cloning and characterization of Leishmania Centrin gene and a novel gene termed A-1 that is over-expressed in amastigote stage of the parasite. The study demonstrates the utility of random genome sampling methods in genomic fingerprinting and in identifying differentially transcribed sequences that could potentially contribute to parasite virulence. 相似文献

早期合子胚取材困难, 难以开展相关研究。前人的工作表明, 油菜(Brassica napus)裂外壁小孢子胚胎发生系统能够较好地模拟合子胚的分化模式, 因而可替代早期合子胚胎作为研究材料。但目前尚缺乏该胚胎发生系统中胚胎具有胚体/胚柄分化的分子水平的证据。该文首次证明了油菜WOX家族基因能够用于标记胚体/胚柄的分化过程, 利用胚柄标记基因BnWOX8的表达模式, 从分子水平上证明了带胚柄的裂外壁小孢子胚的确存在胚体/胚柄的分化。研究结果为充分利用油菜裂外壁小孢子胚胎发生系统, 解决早期胚胎取材困难的问题奠定了坚实的基础。同时, 建立了活体激光切割分离特定细胞的技术, 结合用于少量细胞RNA提取的活体特异细胞RNA提取技术, 为鉴定少量特异分化细胞的基因表达模式提供了一个可行且明确的解决方案。 相似文献

Vertical distribution and abundance of juvenile chaetognaths in the Weddell Sea (Antarctica) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The composition, abundance and vertical distribution of chaetognaths were analysed along a transect in the Weddell Sea during
late spring. Three species were identified: Eukrohnia hamata (90.8%), Sagitta marri (6.4%) and S. gazellae (2.8%). Only juvenile stages were collected in the samples, a result related both to the type of sampling gear employed (mesh
size: 100 μm) and the species' life-cycles. The vertical distributions showed that the juvenile stages of these species tended
to aggregate at considerable depth (1000–500 m). It is postulated that this pattern may be related to the life-cycles of these
species in association with seasonal Antarctic conditions, similar to the pattern postulated for krill and other polar crustaceans.

A study on cod egg mortality was carried out in the Bornholm Basin (southern central Baltic Sea) toward the end of July 1996. An initial egg aggregation marked by a satellite‐tracked drifter buoy was sampled repeatedly over an 11‐day period; profiles of temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were concurrently recorded. Three replicate estimates of mortality were obtained for each pair of subsequent developmental stages from newly spawned eggs to early larvae. A consistent pattern of stage‐specific mortality coincided well with previous experimental observations. Average daily mortality rates were 7.2% (eggs IA/IB), 38.7% (eggs (IB/II), 25.6% (eggs II/III), 40.0% (eggs III/IV), and 42.3% (eggs IV/early larvae). The cumulative mortality until hatch amounted to 99.9%. Results from hydrodynamic modelling, however, indicated that the drifter's trajectory was influenced by wind stress. Hence, the mortality rates might be biased despite the short sampling intervals; a modification of the sampling design is recommended for future studies. 相似文献

Questing ticks were sampled monthly over a period of 11 months from February, 2011 to December, 2011 at 13 sites in southern Germany using the flagging method. The ticks were identified to species, gender, and stadium. Although both I. ricinus and D. reticulatus were sampled, this study concentrated on I. ricinus, since it was the most abundant tick to be found. Additional weather data (air and soil temperature, relative air humidity, precipitation, sunshine duration) were recorded on each sampling site and the local vegetation described. A total of 14, 394 ticks was collected (7,862 larvae, 5,568 nymphs, 964 adults) and their activity was recorded in order to determine the seasonal activity pattern over different periods of the year. In contrast to the widely accepted pattern of a bimodal seasonal activity in moderate areas with a dominant peak in spring and a minor peak in autumn, a unimodal activity pattern was found for all development stages on six of the 12 sampling sites. Tick abundance was compared to weather variables. Tick host‐seeking activity was found to be significantly dependent on the temperature at ground level, precipitation, and sunshine duration as well as relative air humidity. Adult ticks showed a positive correlation with the duration of sunshine, whereas nymphs were mostly unaffected by this phenomenon. 相似文献

Geographic variation in 23 to 29 protein-encoding genetic loci was examined in 48 populations of the Ensatina complex, a “ring species” distributed around the Central Valley of California. The samples span two critical links in the chain of morphologically distinct units: the transition from the unblotched to blotched color pattern types in the vicinity of Lassen Peak, northeastern California, and a geographic gap in the range of the complex in the San Gabriel Mountains, southern California. A general pattern of isolation by distance with a regular buildup of genetic distance correlated with increases in geographic distance characterizes the populations studied, with the exception of a little-differentiated group of populations in the northern Sierra Nevada; this region is postulated to be a zone of genetic reticulation characterized by relatively high gene flow. An adaptively significant color pattern is thought to have spread into the northern Sierra Nevada from the south, but protein variants have been introduced both from the north and the south. Genetic distances across the San Gabriel Mountain gap match expectations from the pattern of buildup of genetic distance as a function of geographic distance elsewhere in the complex. A phylogenetic analysis of the protein data supports the reticulation hypothesis; whereas the southernmost populations currently do constitute a monophyletic assemblage, an “extinction experiment” demonstrates that the distinction could be the result of the recent extinction of populations in a present gap in our sampling. The Ensatina complex appears to be a dynamic entity representing several stages in the evolution of species. It is a ring species, and whereas various taxonomic arrangements are possible, no taxonomic changes are proposed. 相似文献

The covariance between two estimators of Simpson's index of diversity, D, obtained from cumulated samples at two stages of the sampling process is derived. A stopping rule based on a comparison of successively obtained estimates of D is developed for use in determining adequate sample size for sampling in stages. The results of a numerical study to compare the effect on the estimation of diversity using the stopping rule with one stage sampling are included. 相似文献

A new method for analyzing stage-frequency data is proposed which is based on the estimation of rates of transition between one stage and the next highest stage in one unit of time, and a unit time survival rate that is assumed to be constant. Once these estimates are calculated it becomes possible to also estimate the mean durations of stages, stage-specific survival rates, and numbers entering stages. An advantage of the method is that it can be applied with any distribution of entry times to stage 1, and any distribution of numbers in stages when sampling begins. Use of the method is illustrated on data from a copepod population in a Canadian lake. 相似文献

The grain-filling rate plays an important role in determining grain yield. To elucidate the genetic basis of the grain-filling
rate, a set of 203 recombinant inbred lines was evaluated at two locations over 2 years. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for
grain-filling rate were detected using conditional and unconditional QTL analysis of genetic linkage maps comprising 217 SSR
markers. The results showed that the grain-filling rate increased between 15 and 35 days after pollination, then decreased
at the last two sampling times. Hybrids with high grain-filling rates determined the grain yield in those areas with a short
growth season for maize. A total of 23 unconditional QTL for grain-filling rate were detected using the 100-kernel weight
as the input data at different sampling stages. They were distributed on 10 chromosomes (except chromosome 9), and some QTL
were detected at different sampling stages. In addition, nine conditional QTL were identified using the average increase in
100-kernel weight of per day between two sampling times, and six conditional QTL were detected simultaneously using the unconditional
QTL mapping strategy. The QTL mapping results demonstrated that the grain-filling rate is controlled by a complex genetic
mechanism, and the QTL detected at different sampling stages might be important contributors to grain yield in maize. 相似文献
