大沙鼠和子午沙鼠种群空间分布格局的研究

采用最近邻体法、Ｔ形取样法和负二项分布法对内蒙古达茂联合旗腾格淖尔地区的大沙鼠和子午沙鼠空间分布格局进行了研究。结果表明,大沙鼠一年四季均为聚集分布,子午沙鼠在冬春季为均匀分布,在夏秋季为聚集分布。二种群间在冬春季为聚集或均匀分布,在夏秋季为明显的聚集分布。对二者空间分布格局进行相关性检验,冬春季二者为负相关,夏秋季为正相关。     

大沙鼠和子午沙鼠的种群生态位

大沙鼠(Ｒｈｏｍｂｏｍｙｓｏｐｉｍｕｓ)和子午沙鼠(Ｍｅｒｉｏｎｅｓｍｅｒｉｄｉａｎｕｓ)均为荒漠、半荒漠的典型鼠种,为群栖性鼠类,只是子午沙鼠不像大沙鼠那样形成很大的集群。在沙质荒漠生境,大沙鼠和子午沙鼠常混居于沙丘坡地上部,成为这些地区自然群落中的优势种。对于大沙鼠和子午沙鼠种群之间的关系,在空间分布格局方面的研究已有报道[1]。作者于1995年9～10月、1996年4～5月、9～10月和1999年10月在内蒙古包头市达尔罕茂名安联合旗北部的腾格淖尔地区,对大沙鼠和子午沙鼠种群生态位进行了研究,并就它们对资源的利用和分配以及两…     

繁殖季节和非繁殖季节布氏田鼠种群参数

在繁殖季节（6月份）和非繁殖季节（10月份）,采集了内蒙古自治区阿尔善宝力格地区的布氏田鼠样本,比较其种群参数与生理指标,探讨了布氏田鼠社群结构和生理特征的季节性差异,并分析了原因。结果表明,布氏田鼠的年龄组成和性比存在明显的季节差异：繁殖季节洞口系数小,种群性比接近1,主要由当年新生鼠和越冬鼠组成;非繁殖季节洞口系数大,种群性比偏雄,主要由当年新生鼠组成。繁殖器官在繁殖季节显著大于非繁殖季节,保持了更高活性。非繁殖季节个体的胴重比更高,且雄鼠高于雌鼠,表明非繁殖季节个体和雄鼠具有更好的营养状态;同时,非繁殖季节个体具有更小的肾上腺和更大的脾脏,说明非繁殖季节中的布氏田鼠表现出更低的应激状态和更强的免疫能力。这些研究结果表明,布氏田鼠的种群参数和生理特点具有明显的季节性特点,这与不同季节中布氏田鼠采取的生存策略有着紧密联系。

内蒙古农牧交错带长爪沙鼠种群存活的季节格局及其动态机制

了解动物种群存活特征以及相关环境因子对其变化的独立或整合作用过程,有助于阐明动物种群动态的生态学机制。长爪沙鼠（Meriones unguiculatus）是分布于我国北方典型草原、荒漠草原及其毗邻的农牧交错带的优势鼠种之一。2000年10月至2004年10月通过标志重捕法研究了栖息于内蒙古农牧交错区草地生境的种群动态。本文通过MARK软件包中的CJS和MS模型分析了长爪沙鼠半自然围栏种群表观存活率（Φ,简称存活率）的性别（g）差异和年龄（as）特征表现及其季节变化格局,并对种群存活变化的密度和气候效应加以分析,旨在检验长爪沙鼠种群存活显示季节变化特征,并受密度制约和气候条件反馈调节的假设。结果发现,长爪沙鼠种群存活率初始最优模型Φ(t)p(g*t)中重捕时序（t）效应显著（ANODEV,F _27,47 =11.05,P <0.001）,月季效应最优模型Φ(month)p(g*t)也显示存活率 季节变化明显（ANODEV,F _5,69 =31.69,P <0.001）,总体呈现从春季到冬季经历下降再升高的“V”字型动态模式。在无环境因子限制条件下,雌鼠（0.788±0.013）和雄鼠（0.781±0.013）存活率差异不明显;存活率年龄差异表现明显的季节特征（ANODEV,F _5,246 = 67.85,P < 0.001）,繁殖消耗在一定时期影响成年个体的存活。长爪沙鼠种群存活的季节格局反映其生活史对策中适应高纬度气候和食物等资源季节波动的重要特征。进一步统计发现种群存活率受密度制约、与降水负相关,其中密度制约效应具有一定的时滞,降水作用是即时的,上述效应的作用强度在雌、雄鼠的存活反应上有所差异。这些结果暗示密度制约整合水热条件介导最适栖息地环境变化,引发雌、雄鼠存活率差异性反应,进而影响其它种群参数变化,调节种群增长。这可能是北半球高纬度地区小哺乳动物种群调节的一个重要机制。     

大沙鼠种群空间分布格局的研究

大沙鼠“家族”式的生活方式导致其种群聚集分布格局,且季节差异不显著。每一“家族”占据单一洞群,这些“家族”间在其最适生境内呈明显的均匀分布格局。雄鼠之间为争夺雌鼠在繁殖初期排斥性增强,末期关系趋于缓和。雌鼠对雄鼠的吸引力在整个繁殖期表现强烈,二者呈聚集分布,越冬时则显示扩散趋势;雄鼠的空间格局受雌鼠分布的影响;雌鼠之间为争夺生存空间以利于其繁殖呈强烈的均匀分布格局。     

EP-1 不育剂对长爪沙鼠野生种群增长的控制作用

长爪沙鼠在内蒙古地区的分布非常广泛,长期以来由其造成的“鼠害” 不仅给农牧业生产带来危害,而且还传播疾病。2009 年3 ～ 10 月,在内蒙古鄂尔多斯荒漠草原,利用复合不育剂左炔诺孕酮- 炔雌醚(EP-1)
对长爪沙鼠野生种群进行了不育控制试验研究。结果表明,复合不育剂EP-1 对长爪沙鼠种群结构和种群密度均有显著影响,在5 月和6 月两个繁殖高峰期,不育剂EP-1 显著降低了幼体出生的数量,实验区与对照区幼体组
成差异和成体组成差异均达到极显著(P < 0.01)。在8 ～ 10 月,实验区和对照区种群结构组成中,幼体之间、成体之间差异均达到显著和极显著(P < 0.05, P < 0.01)。在整个发育生长期,实验区长爪沙鼠幼体种群从6 月
份开始出现,9 月达到数量最高值,幼体种群全年呈现下降趋势。而对照区幼体种群从5 月份开始出现,且数量在5 月份达到全年的最高值,幼体种群与实验区相反呈增长趋势。实验区种群总体数量全年呈下降趋势,而对
照区相反,呈增长趋势。因此,复合不育剂EP-1 显著降低了长爪沙鼠种群的繁殖率、幼体出生比例和种群密度,可以对长爪沙鼠野生种群起到有效的繁殖控制作用,进而降低该鼠对农牧业生产的危害和对人类疾病传播
的风险。     

高寒地区煤矿排土场植被恢复研究——以内蒙古扎哈淖尔煤矿为例

高寒煤矿排土场植被恢复是制约我国矿区绿色可持续发展亟待解决问题,内蒙古扎哈淖尔煤矿通过不同的生态措施对排土场进行人工植被恢复的实践。在2020年和2021年对该高寒煤矿排土场75个样地进行野外连续监测,对不同生态恢复措施影响高寒地区内蒙古扎哈淖尔露天煤矿排土场植物恢复过程中的群落组成、盖度、物种多样性进行分析,阐明不同恢复措施在高寒地区煤矿排土场植被恢复中的作用。研究结果表明：从2020年到2021年排土场的植物群落物种数、植被盖度和群落多样性存在显著的季节变化规律;周边原生草原的非人工种植植物随恢复时间增加而不断进入排土场,导致群落物种数显著增加;植物群落多样性在平面、坡面与田字格地形存在显著差异,田字格上Shannon-Wiener多样性指数最低;坡度显著影响群落多样性,同时受到季节变化影响;喷播加灌木种植方式与其他4种播种方式相比显著增加群落香浓维纳多样性指数;但不同坡向、土壤施肥方式和水分灌溉方式对植物群落多样性没有显著影响。研究结果可为完善草原露天煤矿植被恢复技术提供科学依据。     

Population proteomics: an emerging discipline to study metapopulation ecology

Proteomics research has developed until recently in a relative isolation from other fast-moving disciplines such as ecology and evolution. This is unfortunate since applying proteomics to these disciplines has apparently the potential to open new perspectives. The huge majority of species indeed exhibit over their entire geographic range a metapopulation structure, occupying habitats that are fragmented and heterogeneous in space and/or through time. Traditionally, population genetics is the main tool used to studying metatopulations, as it describes the spatial structure of populations and the level of gene flow between them. In this Viewpoint, we present the reasons why we think that proteomics, because of the level of integration it promotes, has the potential to resolve interesting issues specific to metapopulation biology and adaptive processes.     

A general measure of human population growth regulation

A general measure relating the relative effects of mortality and fertility in damping population growth has been derived from stable population theory. This measure, called the Index of Growth Regulation, can be calculated from a life table and a fertility schedule. It is a single number which integrates the fertility and mortality aspects of a population. It has intuitive meaning, and can be related to social aspects of the population. It can be used to compare any two populations, and for this purpose it has advantages over traditional comparative statistics such as life expectancy, which consider only mortality. By selecting life tables representing general stages of human cultural evolution, it has been shown that hunting-gathering populations were regulated more by mortality than by fertility factors. That is, more growth which could have occurred did not occur due to the incidence of mortality than to the incidence of infecundity. The two forces were of about equal weight before the industrial revolution, and fertility has had a predominant role in population regulation since the beginning of industrialization.     

黄腹角雉的种群数量及其结构研究

1983—1986年在浙江省乌岩岭自然保护区,应用标图法和线路统计法,对野生黄腹角雉种群、数量进行了统计分析。结果表明冬季种群约50只。种群数量有明显的季节变动:繁殖后期数量增加,秋末冬初开始明显下降。黄腹角雉繁殖力低,卵的损失率高,使种群数量上升十分缓慢。成体性比接近1:1,在各样区之间略有差异。在性比偏离1:1较大的样区,亚成体比例较高。     

Evidence of population structuring following population genetic analyses of Fasciola hepatica from Argentina

Fasciola hepatica, the liver fluke, is a trematode parasite that causes disease of economic importance in livestock. As a zoonosis this parasite also poses a risk to human health in areas where it is endemic. Population genetic studies can reveal the mechanisms responsible for genetic structuring (non-panmixia) within parasite populations and provide valuable insights into population dynamics, which in turn enables theoretical predictions of evolutionary dynamics such as the evolution of drug resistance. Here we genotyped 320 F. hepatica collected from 14 definitive hosts from four provinces in Argentina. STRUCTURE analysis indicated three population clusters, and principal coordinate analysis confirmed this, showing population clustering across provinces. Similarly, pairwise F_ST values amongst all four provinces were significant, with standardised pairwise F_ST (F′_ST) ranging from 0.0754 to 0.6327. Therefore, population genetic structure was evident across these four provinces in Argentina. However, there was no evidence of deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, so it appears that within these sub-populations there is largely random mating. We identified 263 unique genotypes, which gave a clonal diversity of 82%. Parasites with identical genotypes, clones, accounted for 26.6% of the parasites studied and were found in 12 of the 14 hosts studied, suggesting some clonemate transmission.     

Synchronous dynamics and rates of extinction in spatially structured populations

We explore extinction rates using a spatially arranged set of subpopulations obeying Ricker dynamics. The population system is subjected to dispersal of individuals among the subpopulations as well as to local and global disturbances. We observe a tight positive correlation between global extinction rate and the level of synchrony in dynamics among thesubpopulations. Global disturbances and to a lesser extent, migration, are capable of synchronizing the temporal dynamics of the subpopulations over a rather wide span of the population growth rate r. Local noise decreases synchrony, as does increasing distance among the subpopulations. Synchrony also levels off with increasing r: in the chaotic region, subpopulations almost invariably behave asynchronously. We conclude that it is asynchrony that reduces the probability of global extinctions, not chaos as such: chaos is a special case only. The relationship between global extinction rate, synchronous dynamics and population growth rate is robust to changes in dispersal rates and ranges.     

武夷山木荷种群结构和动态的研究

 本文采用“空间序列代替时间变化”的方法,对武夷山区常绿阔叶林演替过程中木荷种群动态规律进行了研究,结果表明,在木荷种群侵入黄山松幼林向木荷林以及成熟木荷、甜槠、青冈林的发展过程中,种群结构由增长型→稳定型→成熟型→衰退型,空间分布格局由随机型趋于集群分布,种群密度呈现负增长;在成熟木荷、甜槠、青冈林中,由于种间和种内竞争的影响以及林窗效应,木荷种群结构和密度有一个波动性的变化过程,在这一变化过程中,木荷种群仍趋于集群分布。此外,对成熟木荷、甜槠、青冈林中木荷种群不同大小级的分布格局动态进行了研究,表明其幼苗、幼树和中树等级的个体均呈集群分布,而大树等级的个体呈随机分布。根据上述研究结果,对木荷种群动态机制作了探讨。

Comparing the genetic diversity and structure of indigenous Korean and Chinese populations of Laodelphax striatellus Fallén using mitochondrial haplotypes

The small brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus Fallén, is a major migratory pest from China to Korea and transmits viral diseases of rice plants. In this study, we compared the genetic structures of overwintered indigenous Korean and Chinese populations. The eight Korean populations consisted of 33 haplotypes, and 16 of these were newly identified. The genetic diversity of the Korean population revealed high haplotype diversity (Hd) and low nucleotide diversity (π) of 0.86 ± 0.017 and 0.0024 ± 0.0001 on average, respectively. These values for the Chinese population were Hd = 0.92 ± 0.016 and π = 0.0026 ± 0.0002. Overall, genetic distances by pairwise F_ST were generally low, ranging from ? 0.022 to 0.089. Moreover, the Korean population revealed its ongoing population expansion by showing negative values in the neutrality test (Tajima's D = ? 1.4, Fu's Fs = ? 15.8) and a unimodal pattern in the mismatch distribution analysis. The genetic structures and population relationships were determined using 8 indigenous Korean and 30 Chinese populations by Bayesian approaches and population tree construction, respectively. The genetic structure was inferred as five (K = 5), and all indigenous Korean populations as well as 10 Chinese populations from the Shanghai city, Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu, Liaoning, Shandong, and Zhejiang provinces were grouped into ‘G3’. These results provide partial support for unidirectional gene flow by migratory Chinese populations into Korea. Further analysis conducted using specimens from China and Korea collected in similar periods is necessary to clarify the migration population's origin and its effect on the genetic structure of the indigenous populations.
