不同色型棕背伯劳(Lanius schach)的巢址选择比较

2008 年2-6 月, 在广东海丰鸟类自然保护区对棕背伯劳棕色型(normal morph)、黑色型(dark morph)及其不同杂交型的巢址选择及巢的生态测量值进行了比较。结果如下: 1)野外观察发现棕背伯劳不同色型间未有生殖隔离; 2)对59巢15 个巢址因子进行主成分分析表明, 巢址选择均主要受5 个主成分的影响(5 个主成分中, 相对系数绝对值最高的变量依次是: 巢位高、水源距离、巢下方郁闭度、巢枝分叉级数和巢树隐蔽度), 累计贡献率达70.18%。三种交配型(黑色型-黑色型, 黑色型-棕色型和棕色型-棕色型)巢址选择的主要影响因子皆无显著性差异(P > 0.05)。3)不同交配型在巢材选择上取材均较为广泛, 但差异不显著, 巢的生态测量值亦无显著差异(P > 0.05)。结论认为, 棕背伯劳不同色型在巢址生态位尺度上未出现明显分化。

云南纳帕海自然保护区灰背伯劳的巢址选择

2013年5—6月,在云南省纳帕海自然保护区对灰背伯劳Lanius tephronotus的巢址选择进行了研究。结果显示,灰背伯劳对树种具有极强的偏好性,有78.48%(n=62)的巢位于火棘Pyracantha sp.灌丛中,枝条具刺是影响灰背伯劳选择筑巢树的首要因素。主成分分析表明,影响灰背伯劳巢址选择的因素有5类:距离因子(巢距道路距离、距居民点距离)、安全性因子(刺数量、刺长度)、觅食生境因子(耕地占比)、隐蔽度因子(树冠幅、树高)以及巢生境因子(灌木占比)。总之,灰背伯劳喜好营巢于距离居民点较近、巢周围耕地面积较大的多刺灌丛。房屋和道路修建对灌丛的侵占是威胁灰背伯劳生存的主要因素。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
