四川马边大风顶自然保护区林麝种群密度初步分析

本文利用分层抽样粪堆计数法对马边大风顶自然保护４种不同生境中林麝种群密度进行了调查,结果表明,常绿阔叶林内林麝密度最高,为２．２２６只／ｋｍ＾２,常绿落阔混交林为１．１１只／ｋｍ＾２,针阔混交林为０．２６只／ｋｍ＾２,针叶林中无林麝分布。保护区内林麝密度较低与人为干扰破坏严重有关。     

人类活动对普氏原羚分布的影响

根据卫星遥感（ＴＭ）影像与野外——ＧＰＳ（全球定位系统）定位的实地考察资料,结合数字化的地形图、植被图与土地利用图、交通图,利用地理信息系统软件——生态信息系统（ＥＩＳ）建立了地理信息系统模型,采用生境评价方法ＨＥＰ就人类活动对青海湖地区普氏原羚生境的影响进行了分析。影响普氏原羚生境适合度的因素主要为基质类型、坡度、水源远近、植被类型与人类活动。当不考虑人类活动影响时,普氏原羚活动区的面积为７９５５ｋｍ ２,最佳生境为典型草原,其次为灌丛沙地,折合适宜生境面积４６６４ｋｍ ２。由于交通、居民点、农业用地等土地利用的影响,普氏原羚仅分布在草地沙地边缘,其适宜分布区迅速减小,生境的适合度等级出现明显变化,最适生境缺损,折合最适生境面积５１１ｋｍ ２。只占原来适合生境面积１１％ 。典型草原围栏与人为放牧影响,普氏原羚实际分布区面积只有３５０ｋｍ ２,讨论了普氏原羚的保护对策。     

截线法对西藏盘羊种群数量的估计

１９８７～１９９０年间,采用截线抽样法对西藏盘羊的种群数量及分布进行了全面调查。结果在１５５０ｋｍ样线上遇见９９头盘羊。由此资料,以傅立叶级数表达其探测函数,估计出了盘羊在西藏分布区内的平均分布密度为０．０８２０±０．００９７头／ｋｍ２,即每１２ｋｍ２约有１头,而波动在０．０１２１～０．３６７１头／ｋｍ２之间。并依此确定的１０．５万ｋｍ２的栖息面积计算、西藏盘羊的种群数量为８６３０±１０２１头。目前,盘羊群平均数下降为５～６头／群,亟待保护。

白鹇海南亚种的生态和现状

海南白鹇是仅分布于我国海南岛的特殊的白鹇海岛亚种。其结群个体少；雏鸟孵出后，每群雏数少；亲鸟损失严重，有极其罕见的纯雏群现象；种群繁殖力低，出生率仅７７．５％；保护区核心区种群密度１９７８年２０．２只／ｋｍ~２，１９９２年１２只／ｋｍ~２。天敌、人类危害是种群数量严重下降的主要原因。目前全岛有白鹇分布的残存林区面积仅７４０ｋｍ~２，乐观估计白鹇数量已不足８８００只，白鹇海南亚种已处于渐危至濒危级别，必须尽快采取有效的保护措施。     

舟山群岛春秋季黄麂的栖息地特征及其利用的初步研究

栖息地选择是野生动物与其环境之间的基本关系,野生动物的栖息地特征研究对野生动物的保护和利用具有重要意义(骆颖等,2009).动物的食物资源具有季节性变化(蒋志刚,2004),在舟山群岛,春季有蹄类动物的可利用资源相对较为缺乏而到秋季相对丰富,有蹄类动物的栖息地特征由于不同季节间的环境可利用资源不同而产生差异(Sehmitz,1991).研究不同季节动物的柄息地特征及利用机制,可以深入了解动物是如何适应环境的(蒋志刚,2004).     

黄土高原丘陵沟壑区封禁30年前后狼牙刺种群动态研究

以荒草坡为对照,对黄土高原丘陵沟壑区阳坡、半阳坡和半阴坡3个生境条件下经30年封禁后的狼牙刺种群动态进行系统研究,分析了种群的年龄结构、分布格局,编制了静态生命表,绘制了存活曲线. 结果表明,黄土高原丘陵沟壑区不同生境自然恢复的狼牙刺种群年龄结构均属于进展型,幼龄个体多,老龄个体少,其中以半阳坡种群密度最大,不同坡向狼牙刺种群的存活曲线均接近于DeeveyⅡ型.种群分布格局总体上呈聚集型,随年龄增加聚集强度增加.影响狼牙刺群落恢复和种群生长的环境因素主要是水分因子和光照因子.狼牙刺种群恢复状况良好,说明封禁措施是有效的.     

陕西黄龙山林区褐马鸡繁殖季节中午卧息地选择

2006年5—6月,在陕西黄龙山腹地北寺山林区采取样线法对褐马鸡(Crossoptilon mantchuricum)中午卧息地的选择进行了研究,共观察到28个褐马鸡的卧息地。褐马鸡对林型、坡向和地理特征有明显的选择性,多偏向针叶林、山脊和半阴半阳坡,回避阔叶林、山坡、阴坡和阳坡。对中午卧息地坡位没有明显的选择性。褐马鸡中午卧息地具有坡度小、与林间道路与居民点的距离远、灌丛平均高度较低、灌木密度较小、草本均高较小、乔木层植物盖度以及草本层植物盖度较大等特征。对各种生境因子的主成分分析表明,前6个特征值的累积贡献率达到74.05%,可较好地反映褐马鸡中午卧息地生境特征。根据载荷系数绝对值大小将褐马鸡中午休息地生境选择影响因子分别命名为地理因子、隐蔽度因子、人类活动干扰因子和灌丛密度因子。     

小流域林草植被控制土壤侵蚀机理研究

从坡面水动力学角度研究了坡面乔木林、草本植物和林地枯落物对坡面径流流速和动能的影响机理.结果表明,坡面径流水头损失与坡面坡度、林木密度、净雨强、坡长等有关,水头损失与林木间距(b)和树木地径(D)间的关系为:E^∝(D/b)^4/3;坡面草本植物在水流作用下易弯曲,增大水流底层的阻力,减小床面的切应力;枯枝落叶使径流速度减小,从而大大降低径流挟沙能力.对甘肃省天水市桥子东沟和桥子西沟两个对比小流域的实测单次降雨、径流、泥沙资料分析可见,在相同降水条件下,已治理小流域内的径流量、产沙量、洪峰流量、最大输沙率等指标均小于未治理小流域,说明林草植被在小流域中的涵养水源、保持水土的作用明显.     

长白山北坡林线灌木草本植物与岳桦的动态关系

本文以长白山北坡林线为研究区,调查125个样方内岳桦种群的径级结构与林线灌草植物的生态重要值。采用常规统计和聚类方法分析岳桦种群与8种常见灌草植物的动态特点,采用典型与单因子相关分析岳桦动态与林线灌草植物的变化关系。结果表明岳桦种群扩张带动林下灌草的相继移动,林线上侵不仅是单一乔木的变化,而是森林群落向苔原群落的入侵,从空间上挤占生态位的过程。另外,这种替代中各个成分变化也存在差异,由于各种植物在群落中的地位和生态竞争力的区别,在替代过程中不同植物变化也具有明显的异步性。     

The effect of sterols and haemin on the growth of the rumen ciliate Ophryoscolex caudatus and some other Entodiniomorphid protozoa

Seven isolates of Ophryoscolex caudatus have been cultured anaerobically in vitro (at a population density of 56/ml) for an average of 18 months each in the presence of bacteria on a reduced buffered salts medium containing prepared fresh rumen fluid with the daily addition of ground wheat and dried grass and with twice weekly dilution of the culture with an equal volume of fresh medium. The ground wheat and dried grass could be replaced by ground wheat coated with β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, ergosterol or α-spinasterol and with β-sitosterol the population density increased to 110/ml. Haemin further increased the population density obtained in the presence of sterol by 9–160%. The population density of cultures of Epidinium ecaudatum caudatum was also increased by sterols and haemin, that of Polyplastron multivesiculatum by sterols only, and some sterols and haemin, under certain conditions, increased that of Entodinium caudatum.     

Allometry of territory size and metabolic rate as predictors of self-thinning in young-of-the-year Atlantic salmon

1. Self-thinning is a progressive decline in population density caused by competitively induced losses in a cohort of growing individuals and can be depicted as: log₁₀ (density) = c − β log₁₀ (body mass).
2. In mobile animals, two mechanisms for self-thinning have been proposed: (i) the space hypothesis predicts that maximum population density for a given body size is the inverse of territory size, and hence, the self-thinning slope is the negative of the slope of the allometric territory-size relationship; (ii) the energetic equivalence hypothesis predicts that the self-thinning slope is the negative of the slope of the allometric metabolic rate relationship, assuming a constant supply of energy for the cohort.
3. Both hypotheses were tested by monitoring body size, population density, food availability and habitat for young-of-the-year Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) in Catamaran Brook, New Brunswick. The results were consistent with the predictions of the space hypothesis. Observed densities did not exceed the maximum densities predicted and the observed self-thinning slope of −1·16 was not significantly different from the slope of −1·12, predicted by the allometry of territory size for the population under study.
4. The observed self-thinning slope was significantly steeper than −0·87, predicted by the allometry of metabolic rate, perhaps because of a gradual decline in food abundance over the study period. The decline in density was more rapid in very shallow sites and may have been partly caused by a seasonal change in water depth and an ontogenetic habitat shift rather than solely by competition for food or space.
5. The allometry of territory size may be a useful predictor of self-thinning in populations of mobile animals competing for food and space.     

Field boundaries of Panicum maximum as a reservoir for predators and a sink for Chilo partellus

Abstract:  The biological-control function of field boundaries of Guinea grass, Panicum maximum Jacq. on the spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus Swinhoe was examined as a reservoir for arthropod predators and as a trap plant for the pest. Field border vegetation and predator density were manipulated to determine the effect of the grass border on the abundance of stem borers and their predators in maize fields, and the effect of predators on the stem borer population. The strip of Guinea grass supported an abundance of earwigs and spiders, the potential predators of stem borer eggs and larvae. Density of C. partellus larvae in the Guinea grass strips was low throughout the season and only young larvae were collected, suggesting the inferiority of the grass stand as a habitat for stem borer larvae. These results indicate that Guinea grass is a good agent of habitat management to selectively enhance arthropod predators of stem borers and act as a sink for the pest. Predator removal resulted in a higher density of C. partellus than control in maize-bordered plots. On the other hand, no difference was found in the stem borer density between predator treatments in grass-bordered plots, probably because of insufficient predator reduction in removal plots. These results suggest that the predator assemblage found in the study site has, if sufficiently abundant, potential to limit the C. partellus population in maize fields. Even though the Guinea grass stand harboured an abundant number of predators, the grass boundaries around maize fields did not enhance predator populations within the crop field. Furthermore, field boundaries of Guinea grass had no measurable effect on the within-field density of C. partellus as a trap crop. Creating a polyculture within the crop and early planting of the grass could further enhance the biological-control function of Guinea grass boundaries.

Seasonal incidence of Stenodiplosis sorghicola (Coquillett) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) and its parasitoids on Sorghum halepense (L.) Pers. in south-eastern Queensland, Australia

Abstract  To quantify the role of Johnson grass, Sorghum halepense , in the population dynamics of the sorghum midge, Stenodiplosis sorghicola , patterns of flowering of Johnson grass and infestation by sorghum midge were studied in two different climatic environments in the Lockyer Valley and on the Darling Downs in south-eastern Queensland for 3 years. Parasitism levels of S. sorghicola were also recorded. In the Lockyer Valley, Johnson grass panicles were produced throughout the year but on the Darling Downs none were produced between June and September. In both areas, most panicle production occurred between November and March and infestation by S. sorghicola was the greatest during this period. The parasitism levels were between 20% and 50%. After emergence from winter diapause, one to two generations of S. sorghicola developed on S. halepense before commercial grain sorghum crops were available for infestation. Parasitoids recorded were: Aprostocetus diplosidis , Eupelmus australiensis and two species of Tetrastichus. Relationships between sorghum midge population growth rate and various environmental and population variables were investigated. Population size had a significant negative effect ( P  < 0.0001) on population growth rate. Mortality due to parasitism showed a significant positive density response ( P  < 0.0001). Temperature, rainfall, open pan evaporation, degree-days and host availability showed no significant effect on population growth rate. Given the phenology of sorghum production in south-eastern Queensland, Johnson grass provides an important bridging host, sustaining one to two generations of sorghum midge. Critical studies relating population change and build-up in sorghum to sorghum midge populations in Johnson grass are yet to be performed.
