During long-term monitoring (more than 20 years) of the hydrologic regime at 20 mountainous sites in the Czech Republic (altitude
600–1400 m a.s.l.; vegetation season April-September; mean air temperature 8–10°C; mean total precipitation 400–700 mm; mean
duration of sunshine 1100–1300 hours; mean potential transpiration 200–250 mm) it was found that plant temperature does not
rise above about 25°C when plants transpire. According to the ecological optimality theory, the phytocenosis that is able
to survive unfavourable conditions and produce the biggest amount of phytomass will prevail at sites occurring in long-term
stable natural conditions. Simulation of phytomass productivity based on the optimum temperature for plant growth showed that
plants with an optimum leaf temperature of about 25°C can survive the unfavourable conditions and produce the largest amount
of phytomass at the site studied in the long-term. 相似文献

People adapt to thermal environments, such as the changing seasons, predominantly by controlling the amount of clothing insulation, usually in the form of the clothing that they wear. The aim of this study was to determine the actual daily clothing insulation on sedentary human subjects across the seasons. Thirteen females and seven males participated in experiments from January to December in a thermal chamber. Adjacent months were grouped in pairs to give six environmental conditions: (1) January/February = 5°C; (2) March/April = 14°C; (3) May/June = 25°C; (4) July/August = 29°C; (5) September/October = 23°C; (6) November/December = 8°C. Humidity(45 ± 5%) and air velocity(0.14 ± 0.01 m/s) were constant across all six experimental conditions. Participants put on their own clothing that allowed them to achieve thermal comfort for each air temperature, and sat for 60 min (1Met). The clothing insulation (clo) required by these participants had a significant relationship with air temperature: insulation was reduced as air temperature increased. The range of clothing insulation for each condition was 1.87–3.14 clo at 5°C(Jan/Feb), 1.62–2.63 clo at 14°C(Mar/Apr), 0.87–1.59 clo at 25°C(May/Jun), 0.4–1.01 clo at 29°C(Jul/Aug), 0.92–1.81 clo at 23°C (Sept/Oct), and 2.12–3.09 clo at 8°C(Nov/Dec) for females, and 1.84–2.90 clo at 5°C, 1.52–1.98 clo at 14°C, 1.04–1.23 clo at 25°C, 0.51–1.30 clo at 29°C, 0.82–1.45 clo at 23°C and 1.96–3.53 clo at 8°C for males. The hypothesis was that thermal insulation of free living clothing worn by sedentary Korean people would vary across seasons. For Korean people, a comfortable air temperature with clothing insulation of 1 clo was approximately 27°C. This is greater than the typical comfort temperature for 1 clo. It was also found that women clearly increased their clothing insulation level of their clothing as winter approached but did not decrease it by the same amount when spring came. 相似文献

Microviscosity of the highly purified plasma membranes isolated from the maturing goat caput, corpus and cauda epididymal
sperm, was measured using l,6-diphenyl-l,3,5-hexatriene as the lipophilic probe at varying temperatures (12–42°C). As shown
by the Arrhenius plot of the data each of the maturing sperm membranes had two distinct lipid phase transitions in the temperature
zones 19–25°C and 34–37°C. The low-temperature transitions for the immature caput- and mature cauda-sperm membranes were noted
at 19–20°C, and 24–25°C, respectively, whereas both these membranes showed high temperature transition at 36–37°C. The maturing
corpus-sperm membrane had phase transitions at 21–22°C and 35–36°C that were significantly different from those of the immature/mature
sperm membranes. The data implicate significant alteration of the sperm membrane structure during epididymal maturation. The
phase transition of the mature male gametes at 36–37°C may have a great impact on the subsequent events of the sperm life
cycle since the mature spermatozoa that are stored in the epididymis a few degrees below the body temperature, experience
higher temperature when ejaculated into the female reproductive tract. 相似文献

The distribution and diversity of isopods (Crustacea, Isopoda; families Desmosomatidae Sars, 1897 and Nannoniscidae Hansen,
1916) was examined in Icelandic waters where a diversity of water masses (temperature range −0.9 to 12°C) occurs and the topography
is characterized by the large and shallow Greenland–Iceland–Faeroe (GIF) Ridge extending across the North Atlantic in an east-west
direction. Both families were species rich in the area, in total occurring with 34 species in 20 genera. Most of the species
were restricted either to the north (10) or to the south (14) of the GIF Ridge, occurring either in cold (−0.8 to 2.8°C) or
warm (>2°C) water masses. Five species were found on both sides of the Ridge, occurring at a wide range of temperatures (−0.9
to >4°C), while another five species extend across the GIF Ridge. Most species occurred in two and more water masses and the
species north of the Ridge occurred usually within narrower temperature range than the species living south of the Ridge.
The water masses in association with the Ridge seem to limit distribution of most species. Despite similar number of species
occurring in the areas north and south of the Ridge, the areas differ considerably in diversity pattern with depth. 相似文献

Bioclimatic conditions have been assessed for a large urban area located in the tropical highlands of central Mexico using
the indices (in °C) of resultant temperature (RT) and effective temperature (ET). The well-developed heat island effect the
city generates, reduces the number of nights categorized as cold (ET between 5 and 15° C) to cool (ET from 15 to 18.5° C).
Most days fall in the cold to cool range and during the warm season (April to June) the bioclimate of Mexico City is mostly
within the neutral (comfort) range. The effect of the nocturnal (to the west) and daytime (to the east of the town) heat island
is noticeable in the central and northern sectors. The daytime heat island located in these regions, albeit small (urban air
temperature 2–3° C greater than rural), compared with the nocturnal heat island intensity (9–10° C) still adds energy to the
already heated afternoon urban air. ET values in the north and central sectors approach the threshold for comfort (ET of 25°
C) during the warm months around noon. It is not surprising to find that as the nocturnal heat island has increased over the
years (1921–1985) as the city grew, so has the ET for the central district and indicating the dominating role of temperature
in the ET index. Assessment of the diurnal cycle of bioclimatic conditions in downtown Mexico City by means of two empirical
indices (effective temperature and thermopreferendum) throughout the years gave similar results to those obtained from the
application of Fanger’s predicted mean vote (PMV) model. An attempt has been made to characterize four bioclimatic zones in
the capital city.

Patterns in species richness,species density,and evenness in groundfish assemblages on the continental slope of the U.S. Pacific coast 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nick Tolimieri 《Environmental Biology of Fishes》2007,78(3):241-256
For many taxa, diversity, often measured as species richness, decreases with latitude. In this report patterns of diversity
(species richness, species diversity, and evenness) in groundfish assemblages were investigated in relation to depth (200–1200 m)
and latitude (33–47°N) on the continental slope of the U.S. Pacific coast. The data originated from the 1999–2002 upper continental
slope groundfish surveys conducted by the National Marine Fisheries Service. When the data were pooled across depths, species
density and evenness were found to decline with latitude. All three diversity measures declined with depth, with the lowest
overall diversity in the 600- to 900-m depth range where longspine thornyhead Sebastolobus altivelis constituted close to 70% of the catch. When latitudinal gradients were examined within four depth zones (200–300 m, 400–500 m,
600–900 m, and 1000–1200 m) more complex patterns emerged. At depth species richness and evenness were inversely correlated
with latitude as longspine thornyhead dominated catches to the north. However, in shallower areas of the slope, species richness
and evenness were positively correlated with latitude. Latitudinal patterns of diversity in the deeper zones and when pooled
across depths were positively correlated with temperature and broadly consistent with the Ambient Energy hypothesis discussed
by Willig et al. [Annu Rev Ecol System 34:273–309 (2003)]. 相似文献

Chaetomium is a fungus species that inhabits different cellulose substrates. Some species of this genus destroy books, textile, and
wood. This genus is of particular interest due to its antagonistic and enzyme peculiarities. Studies on morphological and
cultural features of Chaetomium species have both theoretical and practical output. Growth rates and development of C. globosum, C. funicola, C. elatum, and C. spirale were studied under different temperatures (17–20°C, 25°C, 27°C, 30°C, and 33–35°C) and carbon source media (glucose, saccharose,
mannite, lactose, amylum, and cellulose). The optimal growth temperature was 25–27°C for all the studied species, while the
temperature range of 33–35°C inhibited the colonies’ growth. Growth dynamics and colony shape and morphology, as well as development
of overhead mycelium and ascocarps, varied greatly in different Chaetomium species in regard to the carbon source media. When comparing the destructive effect of four studied species and C. murorum on craft paper, the highest activity was registered for C. globosum, C. funicola, and C. elatum. 相似文献

Multiple proteases were produced and partially purified from an alkali-thermotolerant novel species of Streptomyces (i.e.,
Streptomyces gulbargensis DAS 131) after 48 h of growth at 45°C. The enzyme preparation exhibited activity over a broad range of pH (4–12) and temperature
(27–55°C). Optimum activity was observed at a pH of 9.0 and a temperature of 45°C. Starch and protease peptone was found to
be a good source of carbon and nitrogen to enhance the enzyme activity. Two active zones in the range of 19 to 35 kDa were
detected on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). 相似文献

Two species of cold-temperate algae from the North Atlantic Ocean,Polyides rotundus andFurcellaria lumbricalis, were tested for growth and survival over a temperature range of −5 to 30 °C. In comparisons of eastern and western isolates,
bothF. lumbricalis, a North Atlantic endemic, andP. rotundus, a species having related populations in the North Pacific, were quite homogeneous.F. lumbricalis tolerated −5 to 25°C and grew well from 0 to 25°C, with optimal growth at 10–15 °C.P. rotundus tolerated −5 to 27°C, grew well from 5 to 25°C, and had a broad optimal range of 10–25°C. Both species tolerated 3 months
in darkness at 0°C. In neither case could any geographic boundary be explained in terms of lethal seasonal temperatures, suggesting
that these species are restricted in distribution by strict thermal and/or daylength requirements for reproduction. The hypothesis
that northern species are more homogeneous than southern taxa in terms of thermal tolerance was supported. A second hypothesis,
that disjunct cold-temperate species should be more variable than pan-Arctic species, was not supported. 相似文献

The objectives were to determine the influence of water activity (aw, 0.997–0.92) and temperature (10–37°C) and their interactions on conidial germination, mycelial growth and sporulation of
two strains of Stachybotrys chartarum in vitro on a potato dextrose medium. Studies were carried out by modifying the medium with glycerol and either spread plating
with conidia to evaluate germination and germ tube extension or centrally inoculating treatment media for measuring mycelial
growth rates and harvesting whole colonies for determining sporulation. Overall, germination of conidia was significantly
influenced by aw and temperature and was fastest at 0.997–0.98 aw between 15 and 30°C with complete germination within 24 h. Germ tube extension was found to be most rapid at similar aw levels and 25–30°C. Mycelial growth rates of both strains were optimal at 0.997 aw between 25 and 30°C, with very little growth at 37°C. Sporulation was optimum at 30°C at 0.997 aw. However, under drier conditions, this was optimum at 25°C. This shows that there are differences in the ranges of aw x temperature for germination and growth and for sporulation. This may help in understanding the role of this fungal species
in damp buildings and conditions under which immune-compromised patients may be at risk when exposed to such contaminants
in the indoor air environment. 相似文献

Climate and vegetation in China IV. Distribution of tree species along the thermal gradient 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The aim of this study was to examine correlations between vegetational zones and thermal climate on the basis of analysis
of the thermal distribution of main-component trees in each zone. The whole and main thermal distribution ranges for 73 tree
species were obtained from their distributions along the warmth index (WI) gradicnt. Cluster analysis using the WI values
at the upper and lower limits of the main distribution ranges as parameters gave seven species groups. The geographical distributions
of the species in each group were described. Moreover, the frequency distribution curves of the seven species groups were
determined along the WI grandient, and four borderlines (lines I, II, III and IV) were found among them. The WI values at
the lines I, II and IV were 50, 90, 175°C month, respectively, and corresponded to boundaries between the subarctic and cool-temperate
zones (I), the cool-and warm-temperate zones (II) and the warmtemperated and subtropical/tropical zones (IV), respectively.
Line III corresponded to a WI of 135°C month. The WI values at the forest limit and at the lower limit of the subarctic forest
were estimated, and their averages were 15.2 and 49.6°C month, respectively. In conclusion, thermal climatic zones in China
could be divided by the following WI values: alpine (arctic) zone, WI<15; subarctic zone, 15–50; cool-temperate zone, 50–90;
warm-temperate zone, 90–175; subtropical/tropical zone >175°C month. 相似文献

The combined effects of temperatures of 14, 17, 20, 22, and 25°C and salinities of 36–12‰ on embryos and larvae of the sand
dollar Scaphechinus mirabilis was studied. Embryonic development is the most sensitive stage in the early ontogenesis of S. mirabilis. It is completed at a temperature of 14–20°C in a salinity range of 36–24‰ and at temperature of 22°C to 26‰. The fertilization
proceeds in wider ranges of temperature and salinity. Among the swimming larvae, blastulae showed the greatest resistance
to variations of these environmental factors. All the larvae survived at a temperature of 14–22°C and a salinity of 36–20‰,
and more than 70% of them at 18‰. The pluteus I is the most vulnerable stage; probably this is related to the formation of
the larval skeleton and transition to phytoplankton feeding. The survival of larvae at the age of 20 days was 100% at 14–22°
C and a salinity of 36–24‰, most of them survived at 14–20°C and a salinity 18‰. The temperature 25 ° C is the most damaging
for early development of S. mirabilis. The duration of development of that species lasts 28.5–29 days at 20°C and a salinity of 32.2–32.6‰. At 20 and 22°C, the
larvae settled and completed metamorphosis more quickly if sand from the parental habitat was present. The larvae did not
settle during the experiment (14 days) at 14 ° C and in the absence of sand. 相似文献

The numbers of alien species in freshwater systems and their detrimental impacts on the stability of ecosystems and global
species diversity are increasing. To predict and assess such impacts, a thorough knowledge of the autecology and life cycle
of the alien species is required. Limnomysis benedeni is common and one of the most invasive mysids in Europe. Here we show a clear dependency of the development time of the brood
of L. benedeni on water temperature. In laboratory experiments (one in spring 2008 and two in 2009, in spring and summer) under controlled
conditions, we determined embryonic development times and the probability of survival of the females and juveniles at water
temperatures ranging from 4 to 25°C. At 6.5 and 25°C, the probability of survival of both the females and the larvae was lower
than at 10, 15, or 20°C. Since the development time is one of the key characteristics of the life cycle and is therefore necessary
to calculate, for example, birth and mortality rates, we determined an equation for the development time as a function of
the water temperature. This information will be useful to understand the distribution potential of this invasive species. 相似文献

The final preferable temperature (FPT) and avoidance temperature (AT) were determined in parthenogenetic females of the crustacean
Daphnia magna Strauss. The animals were preliminary acclimated to constant temperature of 23.4°C followed by keeping them in a thermo-gradient
device for 24 days. It was revealed that daphnia select FPT with overshoot. In the first four days, daphnia selected temperatures
0.6–1.6°C higher than the acclimation temperature and 4–7.4°C higher than FPT. Two zones of FPT are revealed: the first zone
by the time of 5–13 days (17.6 ± 1.2°C); the second, by 16–24 days (20 ± 1.5°C). The dynamics of AT diapason followed the
dynamics of FPT. Two zones of the AT plateau were observed: over five to 17 days (temperatures <14°C and >25.8°C were avoided)
and for 21–24 days (<8.5°C and >26°C). 相似文献

Temperature requirements for the breaking of seed dormancy and germination inPrimula sieboldii E. Morren and the annual surface-soil temperature regime in one of its natural habitats were investigated in order to clarify
the germination responses determining the seedling emergence seasonality of the species. In a grassland nature reserve in
an abandoned flood plain of the Arakawa River, natural seedling emergence of the species was shown to be restricted to mid-
to late-spring before the closure of seasonal vegetational gaps, when the daily mean soil surface temperature reached about
15°C, accompanied by large daily fluctuations of about 10°C. Mature seeds collected in late June were never able to germinate
at any constant temperature in the range of 8–40°C unless they had been previously subjected to moist-chilling treatment.
The proportion of seeds which were released from dormancy increased with increasing duration of the moist-chilling treatment
at 2°C, 70–85% of seeds becoming germinable at 16–28°C after 12 weeks of pretreatment at 2°C. The thermal time required for
the germination of the thus-pretreated seed population was 905–1690 Kh with a base temperature of around 5°C. Fluctuating
temperatures between 24°C and 16 or 12°C had a remarkable dormancy-breaking effect, inducing considerably quick germination
in most of the seeds previously subjected to 2°C moist-chilling for 8 weeks. 相似文献

Germination responses ofMallotus japonicus (Thumb). Muell. Arg. seeds to temperature revealed a gap-detecting mechanism in the seed germination of the species. Among
various constant and alternating temperatures examined in the range from 12–40°C, only very limited temperature regimes were
found to be favourable for seed germination, specifically, alternating temperatures between 18–32°C and 28–40°C. A single
several-hour higher-temperature (32–40°C) treatment could also induce the germination of seeds which had been imbibed for
several days at a constant temperature in the range of 20–26°C, suggesting that there is a process requiring higher temperature
among the overal germination processes. Seeds located at or near the surface of denuded soil would have a good chance of experiencing
such a temperature change when several rainy days are followed by fine weather, while seeds beneath close vegetation would
not. On the other hand, the pressence or absence of light or a simulated ‘canopy ligh’ had little effect on the germination.
Therefore, it was concluded that the seeds ofM. japonicus have a ‘gapdetecting mechanism’ in the form of a higher-temperature requirement of a certain process involved in the overall
germination processes. 相似文献

The upper limit of temperature for growth is a species-specific character in the genusChlorella. The limits of 14Chlorella species range from 26–30°C (C. saccharophila) to 38–42°C (C. sorokiniana), withC. fusca var.vacuolata (34°C) andC. kessleri (34–36°C) assuming an intermediate position. Thus, there is no wide gap in the temperature limits between the normal (“low-temperature”)
species ofChlorella and the “high-temperature” species,C. sorokiniana. 相似文献

Ontogenetic changes and temperature dependency of respiration rate were studied in Dendrobaena mrazeki, an earthworm species inhabiting relatively warm and dry habitats in Central Europe. D. mrazeki showed respiration rate lower than in other earthworm species, < 70 μl O2 g−1 h−1, within the temperature range of 5–35°C. The difference of respiration rate between juveniles and adults was insignificant
at 20°C. The response of oxygen consumption to sudden temperature changes was compared with the temperature dependence of
respiratory activity in animals pre-acclimated to temperature of measurement. No significant impact of acclimation on the
temperature response of oxygen consumption was found. The body mass-adjusted respiration rate increased slowly with increasing
temperature from 5 to 25°C (Q10 from 1.2 to 1.7) independently on acclimation history of earthworms. Oxygen consumption decreased above 25°C up to upper
lethal limit (about 35°C). Temperature dependence of metabolic rate is smaller than in other earthworm species. The relationships
between low metabolic sensitivity to temperature, slow locomotion and reactivity to touching as observed in this species are
discussed. 相似文献

The heat tolerance of 8 temperate- and 1 subtropical-origin C3 species as well as 17 tropical-origin ones, including C3, C4, and CAM species, was estimated using both F0-T curve and the ratio of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, prior to and after high temperature treatment. When leaves
were heated at the rate of ca. 1 °C min−1 in darkness, the critical temperature (Tc) varied extensively among species. The Tc's of all 8 temperate-origin species ranged between 40–46 °C in winter (mean temperature 16–19 °C), and between 32–48 °C in
summer (mean temperature ca. 30 °C). Those for 1 subtropical- and 12 tropical-origin C3 species ranged between 25–44 °C and 35–48 °C, and for 1 CAM and 4 C4 species were 41–47 and 45–46 °C, respectively. Acclimating three C3 herbaceous plants at high temperature (33/28 °C, day/night) for 10 d in winter caused their Tc's rising to nearly the values measured in summer. When leaves were exposed to 45 °C for 20 min and then kept at room temperature
in darkness for 1 h, a significant correlation between RFv/m (the ratio of Fv/Fm before and after 45 °C treatment) and Tc was observed for all tested temperate-origin C3 species as well as tropical-origin CAM and C4 species. However, F0 and Fv/Fm of the tropical-origin C3 species were less sensitive to 45 °C treatment, regardless of a large variation of Tc; thus no significant correlation was found between their RFv/m and Tc. Thus Tc might not be a suitable index of heat tolerance for plants with wide range of environmental adaptation. Nevertheless, Tc's of tropical origin C3 species, varying and showing high plasticity to seasonal changes and temperature treatment, appeared suitable for the estimation
of the degree of temperature acclimation in the same species. 相似文献

The massive irruption of the invasive bryozoan Membraniporopsis tubigera (Osburn) in sandy beaches of southern Brazil and Uruguay is reported. The species, originally described from Puerto Rico,
Texas and Florida, has also been recorded for Brazilian beaches from 21°S to 26°S as well as for harbours of Australia, New
Zealand and the Sea of Japan. The southward spreading rate of this bryozoan along the Brazilian and Uruguayan coasts can be
estimated in approximately 183–195 km year−1. The chances that this invasion could proceed southwards in the Southwest Atlantic and the possible impacts that it may be
causing are discussed. The case of M. tubigera seems to be qualitatively and quantitatively different from those of other alien bryozoans previously recorded for this region,
since it appeared massively in exposed sandy beaches, a habitat regarded to date as apparently free from the pervasive ecological
impact of invasion by exotic species in the Southwest Atlantic. 相似文献
