THE VOCAL REPERTOIRE OF THE GREY CROWNED CRANE BALEARICA REGULORUM GIBBERICEPS. I: THE TONAL AND THE NON-HARMONIC CALLS

ABSTRACT

The study describes the vocal repertoire of the Grey Crowned Crane Balearica regulorum gibbericeps and speculates on the purpose the calls serve. The repertoire consists of 4 tonal and 7 non-harmonic calls. Chicks have 3 different vocalizations.     

THE EFFECT OF VESSEL NOISE ON THE VOCAL BEHAVIOR OF BELUGAS IN THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER ESTUARY,CANADA

During June-July 1991, we monitored the vocal behavior of belugas before, during, and after exposure to noise from a small motorboat and a ferry to determine if there were any consistent patterns in their vocal behavior when exposed to these two familiar, but different sources of potential disturbance. Vocal responses were observed in all trials and were more persistent when whales were exposed to the ferry than to the small boat. These included (1) a progressive reduction in calling rate from 3.4–10.5 calls/whale/min to 0.0 or <1.0 calls/whale/min while vessels were approaching; (2) brief increases in the emission of falling tonal calls and the theree pulsed-tone call types; (3) at distances <1 km, an increase in the repetition of specific calls, and (4) a shift in frequency bands used by vocalizing animals from a mean frequency of 3.6 kHz prior to exposure to noise to frequencies of 5.2-8.8 kHz when vessels were close to the whales.     

分子进化研究：Ⅱ.5SrRNA序列的分形与分子进化的关系

本文根据分形理论的原理和方法,在对现行的计算核酸序列分维的方法进行修改的基础上,对各类生物的80余种5SrRNA序列的分维进行了计算,并结合耗散结构理论就其分维与分子进化的关系问题进行了研究和探讨。作者认为,5SrRNA序列的分维与其分子进化间的关系是一种复杂的非线性关系,在分子进化的过程中,序列的分维表现为随机涨落。     

真鲷视网膜结构及其视觉特性研究：Ⅱ视网膜光感受细胞超微结构研究

对真鲷光感受细胞的超微结构进行观察,结果表明：视杆外段膜盘为游离膜盘,视锥外段膜盘则为连续的膜结构,视锥和视杆均含有连接纤毛和辅助外段。花萼状突起起源于内段。椭体内充满线粒体,无球状小体。双锥椭圆体并生膜为六层,视锥内段无鳍状突起,视锥突触带,在明适应视网膜中数量增多,在暗适应视网中数量减少,视杆突触带在这两种适应网膜中数量不变,每一杆小球只有一个突触带,而锥小足有４－６个突触带。     

中华血簇虫的生活史研究(复顶门:孢子纲) Ⅱ.中华血簇虫在中华鳖中的发育

中华血簇虫在其无脊椎动物寄主中的发育已另有文描述。这里报道的是中华血簇虫在中华鳖中的发育。这一时期包括三个阶段:组织细胞内裂体增殖、深部血红细胞内的裂体增殖和外周血红细胞内的裂体增殖。组织细胞内裂殖体产生14—32个裂殖子。深部血红细胞内的裂殖体分为两类:一类是X裂殖体,它产生14—18个小裂殖子;另一类是Y裂殖体,它产生4—6个大裂殖子。外周血红细胞内的初期裂殖体可产生多至14个裂殖子,而随后的裂体增殖却产生越来越少的裂殖子,且裂殖体和裂殖子的大小也渐趋变小。外周血晚期的裂殖体只形成2个裂殖子。配子母细胞来源于Y裂殖子。营养体是由上一代裂殖子向下一代裂殖体发育的中间时期。
