镜湖长三肢轮虫的有性生殖

2004年5—11月,对芜湖市镜湖大、小湖区水体中长三肢轮虫(Filinia longiseta)的有性生殖及其与种群密度、水温、水体透明度、水体叶绿素a含量和轮虫总密度等环境因子间的关系进行了研究.结果表明:当水温低于22℃或水体透明度大于一定值(小湖区SD>95cm,大湖区SD>100cm)时,长三肢轮虫不进行有性生殖;而当其本身的种群密度达到一定值(小湖区种群密度>122ind·L-1,大湖区种群密度>113ind·L-1)时才进行有性生殖.长三肢轮虫的混交雌体密度仅与其本身的种群密度以及水体中轮虫总密度之间呈正相关关系(P<0·01),而与水温、叶绿素a含量、水体透明度之间均无明显的相关关系;长三肢轮虫种群的混交率和受精率与水温、水体透明度、叶绿素a含量、轮虫总密度和长三肢轮虫种群密度之间也无明显的相关性.长三肢轮虫的有性生殖发生在种群增长的早期阶段,混交雌体以间断的、多循环的方式产生;最大混交率与最大种群密度同时出现,但最大受精率出现在种群即将消失时.     

汀棠湖轮虫主要食性功能群及其优势种群的周年动态对水环境变化的响应

为探讨轻度富营养湖泊中轮虫主要食性功能群及其优势种群的动态对水环境响应的生态机理,于2011年7月至2012年6月每月4次采集了芜湖市汀棠湖水体中的浮游动物样品,同步测定了水温、水体透明度、p H值、水体叶绿素a含量和氮磷含量,利用相关分析和多元线性回归分析方法分析了轮虫主要食性功能群及其优势种群的密度与非生物因子(如水温等)、食物资源(以粒径大小不同的藻类中的叶绿素a含量作为指标)及生物因子(枝角类、桡足类和晶囊轮虫等轮虫潜在竞争者和捕食者的密度)间的关系。结果显示:(1)汀棠湖中,掠食性轮虫的优势轮虫为针簇多肢轮虫(Polyarthra trigla);滤食性轮虫的优势种包括裂足臂尾轮虫(Brachionus diversicornis)、长三肢轮虫(Filinia longiseta)和裂痕龟纹轮虫(Anuraeopsis fissa);(2)主成分分析表明,水温、叶绿素a含量、枝角类、桡足类及其无节幼体和晶囊轮虫的密度是影响与汀塘湖轮虫群落结构有关的变动最大的水环境因子。水温和藻类叶绿素a总含量分别对滤食性轮虫和掠食性轮虫总密度的周年变动的影响最大,而轮虫的潜在竞争者和捕食者对它们的负面影响均不大;(3)轮虫的潜在竞争者和捕食者对于轮虫优势种群密度动态的负面影响也不大。水温、藻类叶绿素a总含量及小型藻类叶绿素a含量(经孔径为25μm的筛绢过滤后水样中的叶绿素a含量(Chl-a25μm))均与滤食性裂足臂尾轮虫和长三肢轮虫的密度间呈现显著或极显著的正相关关系。仅小型藻类的叶绿素a含量对裂足臂尾轮虫和长三肢轮虫密度的周年变动的影响最大。水温是影响滤食性裂痕龟纹轮虫密度动态的主要因子;(4)两食性功能群中的优势轮虫种群的卵率均未与其潜在竞争者和捕食者密度间呈现显著的负相关性。裂足臂尾轮虫、长三肢轮虫和针簇多肢轮虫种群卵率的变动受水温的影响最大,且它们之间均分别呈现显著的负相关性。研究结果表明,水温和食物资源可能是影响汀塘湖中滤食性轮虫和掠食性轮虫密度变动的重要的生态因子。     

芜湖市镜湖轮虫群落结构分析及水质的生态学评价

2003年1—12月,对芜湖市镜湖轮虫群落结构的周年动态进行了研究,并分析了轮虫密度与有关生态因子间的关系。经鉴定,共发现轮虫55种,隶属于15科21属。密度优势种为裂痕龟纹轮虫(Anuraeopsis fissa)、暗小异尾轮虫(Trichocerca pusilla)、前额犀轮虫(Rhinoglena frontalis)、红多肢轮虫(Polyarthra remata)、长三肢轮虫(Filinia longise-ta)、广布多肢轮虫(Polyarthra vulgaris)和多须伪前翼轮虫(Proalides tentaculates),而生物量优势种为前节晶囊轮虫(Asplanchna priodonta)、多须伪前翼轮虫和暗小异尾轮虫。全年轮虫的总密度与水温、叶绿素a浓度及小型纤毛虫密度具有显著的相关性;温度对全年轮虫总密度的影响最大,叶绿素a浓度对春、冬季轮虫总密度影响最大,小型纤毛虫密度对夏季轮虫总密度影响最大,而水温是影响秋季轮虫总密度的主要因素。根据污染指示生物、物种多样性指数和Q值并结合水理化性质对治理后的镜湖水质所进行的初步评价表明,经清淤、截流和换水等措施治理后,小湖区应偏属寡污-β中污至β中污型水体,大湖区属于β中污型水体;目前镜湖水体处于中营养后期—富营养化初期阶段。       

宁波市游览性湖泊浮游轮虫的群落结构及生物多样性

2006年10月至2007年7月,调查了宁波市东钱湖(Ⅰ、Ⅱ站)、月湖(Ⅲ、Ⅳ站)和日湖(Ⅴ、Ⅵ站)三个游览性湖泊浮游轮虫的群落结构及其生物多样性。共发现浮游轮虫21种,以月湖轮虫的密度(3287ind.·L^-1)和生物量(0.884mg·L^-1)为最高,日湖轮虫的Margalef多样性指数0.917为最高,东钱湖轮虫的群落指标均最低。东钱湖轮虫优势种为暗小异尾轮虫(Trichocerca pusilla);月湖和日湖轮虫第一优势种均为针簇多肢轮虫(Polyarthra trigla)。浮游轮虫生物多样性指数随着水体碱性环境的加剧而呈极显著地下降(r=-0.545,n=24,p<0.01),月湖和日湖的浮游轮虫生物多样性指数也随轮虫密度的增加而极显著地下降(r=-0.668,n=16,p<0.01)。     

镜湖夏秋季节裂足臂尾轮虫卵率变化及影响因素

调查了安徽省芜湖市镜湖中裂足臂尾轮虫的卵率,分析了卵率与种群密度、食物资源、潜在捕食者和竞争者、水温、水体透明度、溶氧、pH以及氨氮浓度等之间的关系。结果表明,大湖区中,裂足臂尾轮虫的卵率在0.095-1.073间变动,均值为0.293;卵率与种群密度和透明度呈显著的负相关(r值分别为-0.346和-0.329),与总叶绿素a含量和直径小于25μm的藻类叶绿素a含量均呈显著的正相关(r值分别为0.457和0.417);异尾轮虫密度对裂足臂尾轮虫卵率的影响具有明显的时滞效应(r=0.382);在晶囊轮虫密度高峰期,其密度是影响卵率的最主要因素(R2=0.5074)。小湖区中,裂足臂尾轮虫的卵率在0.0471-0.5455间变动,均值为0.194;卵率只与总叶绿素a含量呈显著的正相关(r=0.356)。研究结果提示影响裂足臂尾轮虫卵率的因素具有时空异质性。

南方某水库轮虫群落特征及其对环境因子的响应

于2006年8月至2007年8月,对广东省某水库4个站点轮虫群落的周年变化进行了调查分析,同时测定了浑浊度、叶绿素、总氮、总磷等理化因子。调查期间,共记录轮虫41种,以臂尾轮属和异尾轮属种类居多,全年以广布多肢轮虫(Polyarthravulgaris)和尖尾疣毛轮虫(Synchaetastylata)为主要优势种;轮虫丰度范围为6-1966ind./L,以库心和大坝处的轮虫丰度较高,高峰期出现在夏秋季。相关分析显示叶绿素浓度对轮虫群落有重要影响。典范对应分析(CCA)表明,采样站点具有明显的空间异质性。CCA分析还表明浑浊度和透明度是影响轮虫空间分布的重要因子,水温和叶绿素浓度是影响轮虫群落结构季节变化的主要因子。CCA排序可将轮虫分为3个类群,优势种广布多肢轮虫位于CCA坐标轴的原点附近,表明其所受环境因子影响较小。根据相关加权营养状态指数(TLI),该水库处于中营养型。     

疏浚后杭州西湖浮游动物群落的变化

2003年1-12月调查了疏浚后杭州两湖(小型、浅水、富营养化湖泊)四个采样站(Ⅰ-Ⅳ)浮游动物群落的变化。研究包括优势种组成、密度和生物量,以及浮游动物生物量与水体叶绿素a、有机物耗氧量、总氮和总磷含量之间的相关分析。疏浚后,Ⅲ-Ⅳ站原生动物第一优势种由似铃壳虫(Tintinnopsis sp.)变为筒壳虫(Tintinnidium sp.);Ⅲ-Ⅳ站轮虫第一优势种由暗小异尾轮虫(Trichocerca pusilla)变为针簇多肢轮虫(Polyarthra trigla);Ⅰ站的长额象鼻溞(Bosmina longirostris)和Ⅲ站的微型裸腹溞(Moina micrura)分别取代了长肢秀体溞(Diaphanosoma leuchtenbergianum)第一优势种的地位;桡足类中,剑水蚤优势种为粗壮温剑水蚤(Thermocyclops dybowskii),哲水蚤优势种为汤匙华哲水蚤(Sinocalanus dorrii)。疏浚后,西湖浮游动物平均密度增加了80.5%,其中原生动物密度增量贡献57.3%。平均生物量增加了49.7%,其中轮虫生物量增量贡献36.5%。西湖浮游动物生物量与水体叶绿素a、有机物耗氧量和总磷含量之间均呈垃著的正相关关系。不同采样站中,以Ⅳ站环境生态因子与浮游动物生物量之间的相关程度最高,其次为Ⅲ站、Ⅰ站和Ⅱ站,水体环境生态因子对浮游动物的影响程度与其优势利演变的体现相一致。在不同浮游动物类群中,枝角类生物量与水质生态因子之间的相关程度最高,其次为轮虫、桡足类和原生动物。     

Recommendations for Assessing the Effectiveness of Surrogate Species Approaches

Surrogate species approaches, including flagship, focal, keystone, indicator, and umbrella, are considered an effective means of conservation planning. For conservation biologists to apply surrogates with confidence, they must have some idea of the effectiveness of surrogates for the circumstances in which they will be applied. We reviewed tests of the effectiveness of surrogate species planning to see if research supports the development of generalized rules for (1) determining when and where surrogate species are an effective conservation tool and (2) how surrogate species should be selected such that the resulting conservation plan will effectively protect biodiversity or achieve other conservation goals. The context and methods of published studies were so diverse that we could not draw general conclusions about the spatial or temporal scales, or ecosystems or taxonomic groups for which surrogate species approaches will succeed. The science of surrogate species can progress by (1) establishing methods to compare diverse measures of effectiveness; (2) taking advantage of data-rich regions to examine the potential effectiveness of surrogate approaches; (3) incorporating spatial scale as an explanatory variable; (4) evaluating surrogate species approaches at broader temporal scales; (5) seeking patterns that will lead to hypothesis driven research; and (6) monitoring surrogate species and their target species.

ＣＩＴＥＳ（濒危野生动植物国际贸易公约）是一个通过控制贸易的方法来维护物种生存及其持续利用的国际法规,其附录中所列的物种是重点管理的对象,主要根据现有的Ｂｅｒｎｅ标准来确定。但是,长期的实践证明,它已不能满足实际的需要。１９９２年６月ＣＩＴＥＳ常务委员会要求世界保护联盟协助制定一个简明、实用、科学和客观的新标准,本文对此作一简介和讨论。     

Extensive contiguous north–south range expansion of the original population of an invasive lizard in Florida

Florida has one of the two worst non-indigenous invasive species problems in the United States, and all such species are considered by statute to be a potential ecological problem. Unfortunately, little information is available about most of Florida's invasive species. Here, we provide information on range expansion of a population of one of the lesser-known species. The Palm Beach County, Florida, population of the northern curly-tailed lizard, Leiocephalus carinatus armouri, was examined for north–south expansion of its previously documented range. Observations were conducted as contiguous expansion outward from the previously known range. We found a substantial contiguous range expansion by a minimum of 46.3 km to the south and 34.1 km to the north. This species appears to be closely associated with coastal habitat degradation in the form of human infrastructure, especially ageing pavement, sea walls, buildings, and bridge bases.     

Finding unknown species in the genomes of extant species

Although many species have gone extinct, their genetic components might exist in extant species because of ancient hybridization. Via advances in genome sequencing and development of modern population genetics, one can find the legacy of unknown or extinct species in the context of available genomes from extant species. Such discovery can be used as a strategy to search for hidden species or fossils in conservation biology and archeology, gain novel insight into complex evolutionary history, and provide the new sources of genetic variation for breeding and trait improvement in agriculture.

Evolutionary systematics of the Australian Cyzicidae (Crustacea,Branchiopoda, Spinicaudata) with the description of a new genus

In Australia's arid and semi‐arid zone, most aquatic habitats are nonpermanent. Although approximately 70% of its land surface belongs to these zones, very little is known of the iconic ‘large branchiopods’ that inhabit these important and widespread habitats. In the present study, we investigated 737 Australian specimens of the spinicaudatan taxa Caenestheria and Caenestheriella with a combination of one mitochondrial (cytochrome oxidase subunit I; COI) and three nuclear (elongation factor 1α, internal transcribed spacer 2, and 28S) markers to assess the diversity of species, their phylogenetic relationships, and phylogeographical history. The initial species delimitation was based on COI employing a combination of phylogenetic analyses and two automated approaches to species delimitation (general mixed Yule coalescent model and Automated Barcode Gap Discovery). The outcome was tested by the nuclear markers and considered under differing species concepts. The number of delineated species ranged from 14–27, in no case being in full agreement with any of the two automated approaches. The lower numbers resulted if inferred reproductive isolation, as required for the biological or Hennigian species concept, was employed. Although nuclear markers did not indicate ongoing reproduction, the lack of sympatric co‐occurrences inhibited inferences of definitive reproductive isolation in several instances. If monophyly or an ‘independent evolutionary fate’ was employed, as required for the phylogenetic or evolutionary species concepts, the species' distribution was of no importance and up to 27 species could be delimitated. Because the Australian representatives of both studied genera could not be clearly separated from each other but constitute a single monophyletic clade separated from all available non‐Australian representatives of these genera, we describe a new spinicaudatan genus Ozestheria gen. nov. to accommodate these species. Populations revealed relatively small levels of genetic differentiation over large areas of central and eastern Australia. By far the most pronounced levels of genetic differentiation were observed towards the north‐eastern regions, a pattern possibly explainable by ecological conditions and the movement of nomadic water birds that disperse resting eggs. © 2015 The Linnean Society of London     

Tracing the introduction history of the brown seaweed Dictyota cyanoloma (Phaeophyceae,Dictyotales) in Europe

Dictyota cyanoloma has recently been described from the Mediterranean Sea and Macaronesia but doubt had arisen as to whether this species was truly native in Europe. The species is mainly found on non-natural substrata (harbour walls, marinas, boat hulls, etc.), strongly suggesting that it is an introduction. Molecular sequence information from historical herbarium samples proves the presence of D. cyanoloma in the Adriatic Sea as early as 1935. Since approximately the year 2000, however, the number of records as well as the geographic range of the species has expanded significantly. The present-day distribution of D. cyanoloma occupies most of the Mediterranean Sea, Macaronesia, NW Africa and southern Portugal, but recent records from Galicia and SW England (Falmouth, Cornwall) indicate that the species is rapidly expanding northward. Collections from Australia demonstrated that the species is also present from Perth in Western Australia, over much of the southern Australian coastline up to Minnie Water in New South Wales. Phylogenetic analyses resolve D. cyanoloma in a sister clade to a previously unreported Australian Dictyota species. Analysis of genetic diversity of the mitochondrial markers (nad6–nad11 and atp9–orf11) reveals that even though Australian populations contain a much higher haplotype richness, European populations are also fairly diverse. Furthermore, only two out of 25 haplotypes are shared between both regions. These somewhat counterintuitive results could be indicative of a more complicated introduction history.
