Summary The appearance of and subunits of skeletal tropomyosin in early myogenesis was studied histochemically using monoclonal antibody to tropomyosin and affinity-purified polyclonal antibody to tropomyosin. In muscle cells, in both somites and limb buds, the and subunits are simultaneously expressed and first appear in the somites at the 30–36 somites. The relatively greater amount of than tropomyosin found in early myogenesis is thus likely to result from a higher rate of tropomyosin synthesis.  相似文献

We studied the release of [3H]norepinephrine from chicken sympathetic neurons in culture evoked by nicotinic and electrical stimulation with an intention to establish functional identity or nonidentity of the two stimuli in investigations of neurotransmitter release. Nicotinic stimulation evoked extracellular calcium dependent release of [3H]norepinephrine and the rise of intracellular calcium concentration. The release was completely blocked by nicotinic antagonists hexamethonium (100 mol/l) and mecamylamine (10 mol/l), and decreased by tetrodotoxin (0.3 mol/l) and -conotoxin (0.1 mol/l) to 17% and 27%, resp. The intracellular calcium response was decreased by nicotinic antagonists and tetrodotoxin, but not changed by -conotoxin. The electrical stimulation-evoked release was blocked by both tetrodotoxin and -conotoxin, and decreased by previous electrical, but not nicotinic, stimulation. The differential sensitivity to -conotoxin and tetrodotoxin, and the inability of nicotinic stimulation to decrease the liberation by following electrical stimulation may suggest the mobilization of different pools of the transmitter.  相似文献

Cotton fibres possess several -glucanase activities which appear to be associated with the cell wall, but which can be partially solubilised in buffers. The main activity detected was that of an exo-(13)--d-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.58) but which also had the characteristics of a -glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21). Endo-(13)--d-glucanase activity (EC 3.2.1.39) and much lower levels of (14)--d-glucanase activity were also detected. The exo-(13)--glucanase showed a maximum late on (40 days post-anthesis) in the development of the fibres, whereas the endo-(13)--glucanase activity remained constant throughout fibre development. The -glucanase complex associated with the cotton-fibre cell wall also functions as a transglucosylase introducing, inter alia, (16)--glucosyl linkages into the disaccharide cellobiose to give the trisaccharide 4-O--gentiobiosylglucose.Abbreviations CMC carboxymethylcellulose - ONPG o-nitrophenyl--d-glucopyranoside - TLC thin-layer chromatography Presented at the Third Cell Wall Meeting held in Fribourg in 1984  相似文献

In the ascophoran bryozoanCryptosula pallasiana (Moll) many examples of regenerative growth and of abnormal zooids have been observed. Most of the different forms of monsters are caused by fusion of zooids or zooid buds respectively. Zooids may often fuse laterally but in a few cases also distally. Some monster zooids have two polypides and combined opercula caused by various degrees of fusion of the apertures. Lack of sufficient space may lead to the formation of dwarf zooids or remainder cystids.  相似文献

A partially purified preparation of 1,3-fucosyltransferase(s) from human milk was used to [14C]fucosylate oligosac-charides containing Gal1-4GlcNAc units. Substitution ofN-acetyllactosamine at position 3 with a -linkedN-acetylglucosamine enhanced the reactivity of the acceptor, whereas similar substitution at position 6 was inhibitory. Thus, the trisaccharide GlcNAcl-6Gal1-4GlcNAc (5), the branched tetrasaccharide GlcNAc1-3(GlcNAc1-6)Gal1-4GlcNAc (11) and the triply branched decasaccharide GlcNAc1-3(GlcNAc1-6)Gall-4GlcNAc1-3[GlcNAc1-3(GlcNAc1-6)Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6]Gal1-4GlcNAc (26) gave remarkably poor yields of 1,3-fucosylated products in comparison to GlcNAc1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc (3). 1,4-Galactosyl derivatives of5 and11, however, gave good yields of 1,3-fucosylated products, but the fucosylation was restricted to the distalN-acetyllactosamine units of Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc (16), Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3(Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6)Gal1-4GlcNAc (18) and also in Gal1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3(Gal1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6)Gal1-4GlcNAc (22). Immobilized wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), possessing high affinity for16 [1], revealed no affinity for the fucosylated derivative Gal1-4(Fuc1-3)GlcNAc1-6Gal1-4GlcNAc (17). The isomeric heptasaccharides Gal1-4(Fuc1-3)GlcNAc1-3(Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6)Gal1-4GlcNAc (19) and Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3[Gal1-4(Fuc1-3)GlcNAc1-6]Gal1-4GlcNAc (20) were readily separated from each other on WGA-agarose, and so were the isomeric nonasaccharides Gal1-3Gal1-4(Fuc1-3)GlcNAc1-3(Gal1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc1-6)Gal1-4GlcNAc (23) and Gal1-3Gal1-4GlcNAc1-3[Gal1-3Gal1-4(Fuc1-3)GlcNAc1-6]Gal1-4GlcNAc (24).  相似文献

N1 (= Nijmegen 1) D. melanogaster heterozygous for sparkling poliert (4) (= pol, here) were backcrossed as single pairs. When were not selected for departure from 1/1, pol/pol +, many exceptional ratios were observed even though the net for all 67 pairs was approximately one-to-one; in the same experiment a net excess of was observed. In a second experiment were selected for departure from 1/1, pol/pol +ratios. The net pol/pol +ratios became significantly different from the 1/1 expected but the sex ratio approached normal. Lineage of the males in the second experiment were recorded and displayed as pedigrees. These together with tabulated data suggest that in some pairs, one of the four categories pol , pol , pol +, pol + may be significantly greater or less than 1/4 of the total offspring recovered.  相似文献

Steryl glycosides are the predominant form of sterol at 88% of the total sterol in non-betalain producing calli of Beta vulgaris. The total sterol decreases and sterol form shifts from steryl glycosides to 97% free sterol upon the transition of non-betalain to betalain producing calli. A substantial decrease in stigmasterol (24--ethylcholesta-5,22E-dien-3-ol) and sitosterol (24-ethylcholest-5-en-3-ol) levels is observed during this transition, and alters the ratio of 7:5 sterols. Spinasterol (24- ethyl-5-cholesta-7,22E-dien-3-ol) is the dominant sterol at 43% and 95% of the total sterol in non-betalain producing and betalain producing calli. The level of 22-dihydrospinasterol (24-ethyl-5-cholest-7-en-3-ol) is reduced in both calli to 3% from 25% in leaves. Lanosterol (4,4,14-trimethyl-cholesta-8(9),24-dien-3-ol) and cycloartenol (9,19-cyclopropyl-4,4,14-trimethyl-cholest-24-en-3-ol) were identified in betalain and nonbetalain producing callus respectively.  相似文献

The lactone isolated from Fusarium termed L659,699 is a potent specific inhibitor of the enzyme 3hydroxi3methylglutaril coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) synthase. In cultures of smooth muscle cells (SMC) isolated from aortic-arch of control (CSMC) and 5% of cholesterol diet (Ch-SMC) treated chicks, the incorporation of (14C)acetate to lipids (cholesterol, triacylglycerides and cholesterol ester) were greater in ChSMC cultures than in CSMC and the presence of 0.05 M L659,699 for 2 h in the incubation medium decrease the synthesis of cholesterol however the triacylglycerides synthesis increase. The effect of inhibitor is stronger in young cultures (3–4 steps) than in the older ones (11–12 steps). In young CSMC and ChSMC cultures the inhibition of cholesterol and triacylglycerides synthesis by L659,699 was reversal.  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.

Summary Secretory activities of bicellular microhairs from grasses belonging to the subfamilies Chloridoideae, Arundinoideae, Panicoideae, and Bambusoideae, and including the chloridoid, panicoid and Enneapogon microhair morphological types, have been investigated. Light microscopic histochemistry indicated that all microhairs studied secrete polysaccharide and protein (or glycoprotein), including those which also secrete salt. Localization of polysaccharide at ultrastructural level using periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazidesilver proteinate staining revealed that in panicoid type microhairs dictyosomes are involved in polysaccharide secretion, whereas in the chloridoid and Enneapogon types partitioning membranes seem to be involved instead.Abbreviations Ag silver precipitates representing localization of polysaccharide - BC basal cell - C cuticle - CC cap cell - CH cuticular chamber - CN system of membrane bound channels and vesicles - CP chloroplast - CW cell wall - D dictyosomes - M mitochondria - N nucleus - PTM partitioning membranes - RER rough endoplasmic reticulum - S secretory material - St starch grain - US unstained dictyosome cisternae - V vesicle  相似文献

A defined set of oligosaccharides and glycopeptides containing -linked fucose were used to examine the specificity of the immobilized fucose-binding lectin Lotus tetragonolobus agglutinin (LTA1), also known as lotus lectin. Glycans containing the Lewis x determinant (Lex) Gal1-4[Fuc1-3]GlcNAc1-3-R were significantly retarded in elution from high density LTA-Emphaze columns. The lectin also bound the fucosylated lacdiNAc trisaccharide GalNAc1-4[Fuc1-3]GlcNAc. The lectin did not bind glycans containing either sialylLex or VIM-2 determinants, nor did it bind the isomeric Lea, Gal1-3[Fuc1-4]GlcNAc-R. Although 2-fucosyllactose Fuc1-2Gal1-4Glc) was retarded in elution from the columns, larger glycans containing the H-antigen Fuc1-2Gal1-3(4)GlcNAc-R interacted poorly with immobilized LTA. Our results demonstrate that immobilized LTA is effective in isolating glycans containing the Lex antigen and is useful in analyzing specific fucosylation of glycoconjugates.

This paper explores the social and cultural organization of Iranian emotional discourse and its transformation in post-revolutionary Iran. First, the Moharram dramas we participated in during field research are described, indicating how these performances organized a prototypical view of the social order, the self, and the passions. Using Kapferer's distinction between transcendental and transformative rituals, we argue that these dramas were traditionally organized as transcendental rites. Second, data on grieving rituals and depressive illness among Iranians is introduced, focusing on the transformative qualities of mourning rites and suggesting an interpretation of depression as a failure of the work of culture. Third, the appropriation of these symbolic forms of society, self, and the emotions by the current Iranian Islamic state and the role of the state in defming the meaning and legitimacy of emotions and their expression is analyzed.  相似文献

Most starch hydrolases and related enzymes belong to the -amylase family which contains a characteristic catalytic (/)8-barrel domain. Currently known primary structures that have sequence similarities represent 18 different specificities, including starch branching enzyme. Crystal structures have been reported in three of these enzyme classes: the -amylases, the cyclodextrin glucanotransferases, and the oligo-1,6-glucosidases. Throughout the -amylase family, only eight amino acid residues are invariant, seven at the active site and a glycine in a short turn. However, comparison of three-dimensional models with a multiple sequence alignment suggests that the diversity in specificity arises by variation in substrate binding at the loops. Designed mutations thus have enhanced transferase activity and altered the oligosaccharide product patterns of -amylases, changed the distribution of -, - and -cyclodextrin production by cyclodextrin glucanotransferases, and shifted the relative -1,4:-1,6 dual-bond specificity of neopullulanase. Barley -amylase isozyme hybrids and Bacillus -amylases demonstrate the impact of a small domain B protruding from the (/)8-scaffold on the function and stability. Prospects for rational engineering in this family include important members of plant origin, such as -amylase, starch branching and debranching enzymes, and amylomaltase.Abbreviations CGTase cyclodextrin glucanotransferase - SBD starch binding domain - TAA taka-amylase A - TIM triose-phosphate isomerase. The mutations are described with the one-letter code, i.e. D164A is a mutant in which A in the mutant is substituted for D in the wild-type.  相似文献

We studied the segregation of the genes for 3-hydroxy-C19/21-steroid dehydrogenase types I and II (3-HSD I and II) in a consanguineous family affected with 3-hydroxy-5-C27steroid dehydrogenase (3-OH-C27-SD) deficiency. The results show that the C27 and C19/21 steroid dehydrogenase activities are encoded by distinct genes that are not in genetic linkage. Further kindreds would assist in screening for linkage of 3-OH-C27-SD to other members of the 3-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase gene family.  相似文献

The determination of the enzymatic activity of the yeasts has been applied to the identification of species, specially that ofCandida albicans. In order to know its usefulness in species of clinical interest, we have tested the commercial system API ZYM (Bio Mérieux) on 500 isolated strains of different organic samples, belonging to eight genera and twenty species. All the strains showed positivity to Phosphatase alcaline, Esterase (C4), Esterase lipase (C8), Leucine arylamidase and Phosphatase acid, and negativity to Lipase (C14), Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, -galactosidase, -glucoronidase, -manosidase and -fucosidase. Fourteen enzymatic activity patterns were obtained considering the substrates with variable results for the whole of the strains: Valine arylamidase, Cystine arylamidase, Naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase, -galactosidase, -glucosidase, -glucosidase and N-acetyl--glucosaminidase. In the majority of the species, the enzymatic profile did not have very specific results since it is usually shared by more than one species.C. albicans is that which presents the greatest number of enzymatic variations, some of these are similar to those of other common clinical species, such asCandida krusei, Candida parapsilosis andCandida tropicalis. This system is proposed as a rapid method for identification and as an epidemiological marker of medically important yeasts.Abbreviations AGL -glucosidase - BGA -galactosidase - BGL -glucosidase - CAA Cystine arylamidase - NAG N.Acetyl--glucosaminidase - PHO Naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase - VAA Valine arylamidase  相似文献

-Glucuronidase from callus cultures of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi was purified to apparent homogeneity by fractionated ammonium-sulfate precipitation and chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose, hydroxylapatite and baicalin-conjugated Sepharose 6B. A 650-fold purification was obtained by this purification system. When subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the purified protein migrated as a single band with a molecular mass of 55 kDa. We determined that the native enzyme has a molecular mass of 230 kDa using gel-filtration chromatography. These results suggested that the enzyme exists as a homotetramer composed of four identical 55-kDa subunits. The enzyme showed a broad pH optimum between 7.0 and 8.0. The K m values were 9 M, 10 M, 30 M and 40 M for luteolin 3 -O--d-glucuronide, baicalin, wogonin 7-O--d-glucoronide and oroxlin 7-O--d-glucuronide, respectively. The enzyme was most active with flavone 7-O--d-glucuronides.Abbreviations BA N6-benzyladenine - 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - pI isoelectric point - R t retention time  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Junge Waldbaumläufer saßen an ihren letzten Nestlingstagen wie an den ersten Tagen nach dem Ausfliegen tagsüber auf Tuchfühlung an der senkrechten Innenwand der Bruthöhle bzw. draußen an Baumstämmen. Die Zeit, in der die Jungen beieinandersaßen, nahm vom 19. bis zum 24. Lebenstag stetig ab. Am 25. Lebenstag sah ich sie nur noch einzeln. Ein Junges suchte am 24. Lebenstag wiederholt den Kontakt mit einem Geschwister. Bald darauf starb es.Abends kuschelten sich die Jungen an verschiedenen Stellen in flache Mulden, bis sie zur Schlaftraube zusammenfanden. Die Volierevögel verteidigten ihre Schlafplätze durch Drohstellungen und -laute.In der Regel schlafen alte wie junge Baumläufer aufgeplustert mit dem Kopf im Rückengefieder. Nacheinander plustern sie die Federn der Unterseite, des Hinterrückens, des Vorderrückens und des Kopfes. Das Rückengefieder wird in umgekehrter Reihenfolge entplustert. Die Färbung der Rückenfedern tarnt die geplusterten Baumläufer nachts gut.Ein Gartenbaumläufer- schlief nach der Besetzung des Nachbarrevieres durch ein anderes einige Nächte dort. Während zweier Monate hatte das mindestens 7 Schlafplätze, das wechselte seine fast täglich. Das schlief in ausgefaulten Mulden von Eichenstämmen und -ästen, mindestens 12 m hoch, das in flachen Mulden der borkigen Rinde oder unter schräg abgehenden Ästen, nach Ablage des 1. oder 2. Eies in der Bruthöhle. Beide Arten erweitern ihre Schlafmulden durch Hacken, Zupfen und Scharren. Auf dem Höhepunkt der Balz schlief ein Paar Gartenbaumläufer eine Nacht auf Tuchfühlung.Das Gartenbaumläufer- erwachte morgens stets eher als das und begann wohl immer sofort zu singen, während sich das erst eine Zeitlang am Schlafplatz putzte. Morgens verließ das seinen Schlafplatz bei geringerer Helligkeit und viel pünktlicher, als es ihn abends aufsuchte. Im Gegensatz zum flog das morgens während einzelner Fortpflanzungsphasen zu sprunghaft wechselnden Zeiten vom Schlafplatz fort.Mit Unterstützung der Dentschen Forschungsgemeinschaft  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Verglichen mit 1- und 2-Naphthyl--d-glucosid,--d-galactosid,--d-glucuronid,--d-N-acetylglucosaminid,--d-glucosid,--d-galactosid und--d-mannosid werden 1- und 2-Naphthyl--l-fucosid schneller oder im gleichen Ausmaß von Homogenaten verschiedener Rattenorgane hydrolysiert. Trotzdem fällt der histochemische Nachweis der -l-Fucosidasen methodenunabhängig im Gegensatz zu dem der anderen Glykosidasen überwiegend negativ aus. Ursache dafür ist die massive Hemmung der -l-Fucosidase durch Aldehydfixation und Diazoniumsalze; die Inhibitionsrate liegt bei 90% bzw. zwischen 85 und 98%; die - und -d-Glucosidase, - und -d-Galactosidase, -d-Mannosidase, -d-Glucuronidase sowie -d-N-Acetylglucosaminidase werden durch Aldehydfixation oder Kuppler höchstens zu 70% gehemmt. Daher können 1- und 2-Naphthyl--l-fucosid für die histochemische Darstellung der -l-Fucosidase nicht einschränkungslos empfohlen werden. Kleine Mengen Dimethylformamid hemmen die meisten Glykosidasen nicht.Für biochemische Messungen der -l-Fucosidase eignet sich speziell 1-Naphthyl--l-fucosid und läßt sich an Stelle von p-Nitrophenyl--l-fucosid werwenden. Bei der fluorometrischen Untersuchung der -l-Fucosidase in Rattenorganen mit dem 2-Naphthylderivat ergeben sich bemerkenswerte Aktivitätsunterschiede.
Suitability of naphthyl--l-fucosides for the investigation of -l-fucosidases
Summary In comparison with 1- and 2-naphthyl -d-glucoside, -d-galactoside, -d-glucuronide, -d-N-acetylglucosaminide, -d-glucoside, -d-galactoside and -d-mannoside 1- and 2-naphthyl -l-fucoside are hydrolyzed more quickly or to the same extent by homogenates prepared from freezedried cryostate sections of various rat organs. Nevertheless, when the fucosides are employed for the histochemical demonstration of -l-fucosidase mostly negative data were obtained independent on the method used, whereas all other naphthyl glycosides deliver positive results. The reasons for these discrepancies are the marked inhibition of -l-fucosidase by aldehyde fixation and diazonium salts. Then, -l-fucosidase activity is suppressed to 90% and between 85 and 98% respectively; the inhibition of - and -d-glucosidase, - and -d-galactosidase, -d-mannosidase, -d-glucuronidase and -d-N-acetylglucosaminidase by the fixative or coupling reagent does not exceed 70%. Therefore 1- and 2-naphthyl -l-fucoside cannot be recommended in general for histochemical purposes. Small amounts of dimethylformamide do not influence the activity of most of the glycosidases investigated.For biochemical measurements, however, especially 1-naphthyl -l-fucoside represents a suitable alternative in a fluorometric procedure instead of p-nitrophenyl -l-fucoside used for the photometric evaluation of -l-fucosidase. With the fluorometric method the enzyme was measured in rat organs, which posses remarkably different activities of -l-fucosidase.

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

Residual toxicities of registered and selected experimental pesticides used on citrus against Agistemus industani Gonzalez (Acari: Stigmaeidae) were compared. Pesticides considered highly toxic to A. industani were: abamectin 0.15 EC at 731ml/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, pyridaben 75WP at 469g/ha, ethion 4EC at 7.01l/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, propargite 6.55 EC at 3.51l/ha, chlorfenapyr 2SC at 1.46l/ha applied alone or in combination with FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, sulphur 80DF at 16.81kg/ha, dicofol 4EC at 7.01l/ha, fenbutatin oxide 50WP at 2.24kg/ha, benomyl 50WP at 2.24kg/ha, benomyl 50WP at 1.68kg/ha+ferbam 76 GF at 5.60kg/ha, ferbam 76GF at 11.21kg/ha, neem oil 90EC at 46.8l/ha, and copper hydroxide DF (40% metallic copper) at 4.48kg metallic copper/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha. Pesticides that were moderately to slightly toxic included: copper sulphate 98% at 4.48kg metallic copper/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, fenbuconazole 2F at 280ml/ha+FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, FC 435-66 petroleum oil applied alone at 46.8l/ha or 23.4l/ha, and diflubenzuron 25WP at 1.40kg/ha. Pesticides that were non-toxic included: fenbuconazole 2F at 585ml/ha, malathion 57EC at 5.85l/ha, FC 435-66 petroleum oil at 46.8l/ha, carbaryl 80S at 3.36kg/ha, chlorpyrifos 4EC at 4.68l/ha, and formetanate 92SP at 1.12kg/ha. Understanding the toxic effects of field weathered pesticides against key predacious mite species is important for effective IPM. The results of this study provide a comparison of direct and indirect toxic effects of various pesticides to A. industani under field conditions.  相似文献
