不同栽植密度对斑叶稠李苗木培育质量的影响

以斑叶稠李（Padus maackii）1年生苗木为研究对象,通过4种不同栽植密度（60、80、100、120 株·m^-2）试验,测定其苗木形态、生物量、光合速率及养分含量,旨在探明不同密度对斑叶稠李苗木生长及养分含量的影响,为其高质量苗木培育提供理论依据。结果表明：（1）栽植密度显著影响苗木生物量,各密度下苗木根、茎、叶生物量由大到小顺序均为80 株·m^-2 > 60 株·m^-2 > 100 株·m^-2 > 120 株·m^-2;60和80 株·m^-2密度下斑叶稠李苗木质量指数显著高于100和120 株·m^-2密度处理。（2）栽植密度显著影响苗木侧根数,在80 株·m^-2的密度下达到最大;（3）80 株·m^-2密度较其它密度显著提高了苗木氮、磷、钾养分含量。（4）叶生物量、根生物量和侧根数与苗木各质量指标间Pearson相关性系数均达到了显著水平（P<0.1）,而光合速率和主根长与苗木各质量指标均不相关（P>0.1）。综合以上结果,斑叶稠李1年生苗木最适栽植密度为80 株·m^-2,且密度处理主要影响斑叶稠李苗木叶生物量、侧根数及根生物量指标,进而影响苗木质量。

基于Landsat-8影像的沿海城市公园冷岛效应——以厦门为例

城市公园主要由水体和绿色植被等景观构成,其形成的公园冷岛（Park cool island,PCI）已成为减缓城市热岛效应的重要途径之一。采用景感生态学中的景感营造理念规划设计城市公园或优化公园空间结构有助于增强公园冷岛效应,进一步改善局地城市热环境。选择沿海城市——厦门市为研究对象,基于2013年8月的Landsat-8 OLI/TIRS遥感影像和Google Earth高分影像数据,首先提取了研究区15个公园的土地利用信息,采用改进的地表温度单通道算法,获取了城市公园地表温度数据,并采用缓冲区分析、景观格局指数和多元统计等方法定量分析公园内部平均地表温度、城市公园冷岛强度（即降温幅度）、公园冷岛影响距离（即对周边区域的降温范围）三者的主要影响因子,并利用景感生态学原理初步剖析了城市公园景感营造的原则。结果显示：（1）公园面积和公园建设用地面积是影响公园平均温度的关键因子（R²=0.915）,这两个因子与公园平均温度均呈显著非线性相关;公园面积存在阈值55 hm²左右;（2）公园冷岛PCI强度由公园绿地面积、公园建筑面积和面积-周长形状指数（P/A）三个因子决定（R²=0.911）;公园冷岛PCI强度与公园绿地面积呈显著非线性正相关,与公园建筑面积呈显著非线性负相关,与面积-周长形状指数（P/A）呈显著线性负相关;在确保公园绿地面积达到一定阈值时,应该尽量降低公园建筑面积,增加公园形状复杂度,有利于其PCI强度的增加,缓解城市热岛效应;（3）公园冷岛影响距离由公园面积和公园水体面积比例决定（R²=0.719）,公园冷岛影响距离与两者呈显著正相关;绿地公园中提高公园水体的面积比例,有助于增大公园冷岛的影响距离;（4）城市公园的规划与设计,需要运用景感生态学的原理,从缓解城市热岛效应的角度,充分考虑公园大小、形状、土地利用类型组成比例及空间配置等因素。

外来入侵物种温室蟾的大陆发现及其种群研究

2017年7月在广东省深圳市发现外来入侵物种——温室蟾Eleutherodactlylus planirostris,这是该种侵入中国内陆的首次记录。结合在深圳市的长期调查监测,以及本次在发现地周边市政绿地及其他公园展开的补充调查可以确认,该种目前在深圳仅见于中心区新建香蜜公园内的3个单独区域,推测可能是通过苗木移栽带入。深圳种群2种色型均有,比例相近;雌性最大个体的头体长25.0 mm;成年个体以雌性为主,第一次调查时成幼比为5/15,第二次调查为49/2;剖胃显示其主要以猛蚁Cryptopone sp.为食,有少量双纹小蠊Blattella bisignata,隔日处理的标本均无胃内含物。整体上该种群雌性多、幼体生长快速、消化能力强,判定处于强扩张状态;相比同域分布的本土蛙类,种群密度明显更高。该种被认为是两栖类最成功的入侵种之一,种群适应能力和扩张能力强,苗木和园林工程涉及的泥土运输很可能是其快速传播的主要途径。在珠三角园林绿化产业高度发达的背景下,亟待与相关行业紧密合作,严密监测温室蟾种群扩张动态并开展专项调查研究。

城市公园绿地水、热与CO2通量观测与分析

水、热和CO2通量是评价城市绿地生态效益的重要指标。在北京海淀公园中部和边缘架设涡度相关系统,连续观测和定量研究城市公园绿地影响下的通量变化特征。结果表明,公园绿地所获得的净辐射在植被生长季节大部分用于植被的蒸散作用,潜热大于显热;而在植被非生长季节大部分用于显热,潜热数值非常小。晴天显热与潜热的比值在春季随着植被枝叶的生长逐渐减少,到夏季达到最小值约1/3,在秋季随着植被叶片枯黄逐渐变大,冬季达到数倍。公园绿地能量平衡率在52%～83%,普遍存在能量不平衡。公园中部的潜热观测值大于公园边缘,而显热小于公园边缘;公园中部CO2通量日均值为负,公园绿地是CO2汇。公园绿地在植被生长季节具有明显的降温增湿、吸收CO2等生态效应。     

成都市避震疏散公园绿地面积指标

城市公园绿地作为城市生态系统的重要组成部分,在避震疏散中发挥了重要作用。以5&#183;12汶川大地震灾害对成都市中心城的影响为例,通过计算地震后避难人数和避震疏散所需公园绿地面积,从而探讨研究区现有公园绿地面积是否满足避震疏散需求。研究结果显示,成都市中心城区在5&#183;12汶川大地震中长期避难人数为30．92万人,所需紧急、固定避震疏散场所总面积分别为441．82hm^2、77．31hm^2,所需紧急、固定避震疏散公园绿地面积分别为300．85hm^2、46．26hm^2。研究区现有不同规模的公园绿地表现出景观分布格局差异。除高新区和武侯区外,其余4个区的公园绿地面积均不能满足紧急避震疏散需求,而6个区可作为固定避震疏散公园绿地的面积均能满足长期避震需求。研究结果体现了避震疏散公园绿地面积指标体系的可行性和合理性,以此作为城市建设和公园绿地规划的参考,在提高城市绿地率的同时也满足避震疏散需求。     

广州市城区公园对周边环境的降温效应

城市化的快速发展使得大量的人造建筑物取代了自然地表,极大的改变了城市的热环境,加速了城市的"热岛效应",给人类的身体健康、生活环境带来许多危害。以公园为主体的城市绿地通过植被的光合作用、蒸腾以及蒸散作用降低温度、增加湿度,是缓解城市热岛效应的有效途径之一。选取广州市城区17个公园作为研究对象,使用TM遥感影像反演公园周边温度,分析了公园周边温度的分布情况。研究表明,在一定范围内,公园周边温度与公园边界点温度的温差随着其远离公园边界距离的增大而增加,且增长趋势逐渐减缓,近似于一条过原点的三次多项式;公园的平均降温范围与公园绿地面积存在显著的正相关关系,拟合曲线近似于一种对数形式增加;水体面积比例较大的公园,比同等条件下水体面积较小的公园降温效果好;而长宽比较大(≥2)的公园,即使公园面积较小,降温效果也较明显。首次对广州市城区公园周边温度分布规律进行了定量研究,研究结果对像广州这样的大城市生态规划尤其是公园规划设计具有实质性的指导意义,也可为世界其他类似地区、城市进行公园规划设计提供重要的理论依据和参考价值。     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

Comparison of in vitro decomposition of bryophytic and tracheophytic plant material

The fossil record of bryophytes is generally poor and infertile plants attributable to liverworts and mosses could also be thalloid vascular plant gametophytes or herbaceous lycophytes respectively. The paucity of the bryophytic record could be the result of relatively rapid degradation of bryophytic material in comparison to that of vascular plants, the absence of lignified cells in bryophytes sustaining this belief. However, certain organs of bryophytes are as robust as those of vascular plants (e.g. spores) and the hydroxybenzofuran polymers produced by some mosses could be of similar preservational resistance to lignins. A simplistic experiment to test the relative resistance to decay of bryophytic material has been undertaken. Its findings suggest that bryophytic plant material has a similar preservational potential to that of a selected vascular plant, particularly in organic rich sediments. This result may be construed to imply that bryophytes were indeed less abundant in the preservational environments of the Coal Measures than might be expected on the basis of current palaeoenvironmental reconstructions.     

Phylogenetic definitions and taxonomic philosophy

An examination of the post-Darwinian history of biological taxonomy reveals an implicit assumption that the definitions of taxon names consist of lists of organismal traits. That assumption represents a failure to grant the concept of evolution a central role in taxonomy, and it causes conflicts between traditional methods of defining taxon names and evolutionary concepts of taxa. Phylogenetic definitions of taxon names (de Queiroz and Gauthier 1990) grant the concept of common ancestry a central role in the definitions of taxon names and thus constitute an important step in the development of phylogenetic taxonomy. By treating phylogenetic relationships rather than organismal traits as necessary and sufficient properties, phylogenetic definitions remove conflicts between the definitions of taxon names and evolutionary concepts of taxa. The general method of definition represented by phylogenetic definitions of clade names can be applied to the names of other kinds of composite wholes, including populations and biological species. That the names of individuals (composite wholes) can be defined in terms of necessary and sufficient properties provides the foundation for a synthesis of seemingly incompatible positions held by contemporary individualists and essentialists concerning the nature of taxa and the definitions of taxon names.     

Chronological Events Associated with the Antagonistic Properties of Trichoderma harzianum against Botrytis cinerea: Indirect Evidence for Sequential Role of Antibiosis and Parasitism

Chronological events associated with the degradation of Botrytis cinerea by a strain of Trichoderma harzianum selected for superior biocontrol ability were studied using ultrastructure and cytochemical investigations in an attempt to define the relative roles of antibiosis and parasitism in the antagonistic process. The first ultrastructural changes were observed 12 h before contact between the organisms, and were characterized by punctuated invaginations of the Botrytis plasmalemma. These reactions were followed by a gradual retraction of the plasmalemma, disorganization of the cytoplasm, loss of turgor pressure and cell death within 48 h of contact between hyphae of the interacting fungi. The first evidence of penetration of B. cinerea by T. harzianum was recorded 72 h after contact. This penetration was apparently mediated by either mechanical pressure or localized wall digestion at points of entry, as there was no clear evidence of chitinolytic degradation of the B. cinerea cell wall, as determined by cytochemical labelling of chitin with a lectin-gold conjugate. However, after 10 days there was clear indication of chitin degradation, based on the random and reduced presence of gold particles over the cell wall of B. cinerea. These results suggest that the strain of T. harzianum antagonized first and foremost by antibiosis, leading to cell death, followed by degradation of the cell by means of chitinolytic enzymes. The production of antibiotics may, therefore, be more important than that of chitinolytic enzymes in conferring superior biocontrol properties to T. harzianum.     

From the creation of the Veterinary Schools to the evolution of the notion of contagion in the 19th and 20th centuries

The creation of the Veterinary Schools in the 18th century would reveal a plethora of scientists, some of whom would be the precursors of Pasteur, some rivals, others followers collaborators or friends of the Master. Among the precursors let us name Chabbert, Huzard, Girard, Delafond, Renault, Toussaint, Galtier ; among the rivals: Chauveau, Arloing, Cornevin and Thomas; among the followers, collaborators or friends of Pasteur: Bouley, at first a resolute spontaneist, then the most fervent in defense of Pasteur (President of the Academy of Medicine and of the Academy of Sciences) and Nocard, Director of the School in Alfort, an important collaborator of Pasteur. Later, there was Leclainche, who created the International Office of Epizootics, and who was President of the Academy of Sciences; Guérin, who with Calmette developed the BCG vaccination; Ramon, the father of anatoxins (vaccines against diphtheria, and tetanus, combined vaccines, adjuvants to immunity). Thus, the creation of the Veterinary Schools contributed not only to the evolution of the notion of contagion, to the amelioration of animal health and the economics of agricultural production, but also to serious advances in human care, and to the protection of public health.     

Evolution of pupation site and interspecific competitive ability in Drosophila hydei

A competition experiment conducted over a period of 50 weeks resulted in stable coexistence of Drosophila hydei and D. melanogaster. In a repeat of this experiment the results for the first 25 weeks were similar to the results of the earlier experiment, but after this time the state of coexistence collapsed and a fairly rapid trend towards competitive exclusion was observed. Extinctions of D. melanogaster occurred in 11 of the 12 experimental cages before termination of the experiment at 50 weeks. At about the same time as the competitive ability of D. hydei increased, an alteration in the range of pupation sites utilized by this species was noted. The change in pupation site was demonstrated to be at least partially heritable, and it appears to be responsible for D. hydei's increased competitive ability. This experiment provides an example of natural selection within a competing population acting against the stability of the overall two-species system.     

Échinodermes de l'Ordovicien supérieur (Ashgill) de Sardaigne et d'Algérie

Research on the influence of sea level variations on the benthic faunas have been carried out in the Upper Ordovician of Sardinia. Study of the depositional facies and sequence analysis of the upper part (Lower Ashgill) of the Portixeddu Formation led to the identification of the sedimentary environments. Cystoids and crinoids are associated to bryozoans and brachiopods in most levels. The numerical analysis of associations and megaguilds shows that crinoids and cystoids have a higher frequency in the proximal and median facies of the upper offshore. The columnal association characterized by Conspectocrinus celticus and the coronoid Mespilocystites tregarvanicus has been discovered in the upper part of the formation. This material and complementary samples from Upper Ordovician of Sardinia and Kabylia (Algeria) bring additional data on the systematic and show the wide distribution of this fauna outside of the Ibero-armorican domain. The distribution of this echinoderm association supports a palaeogeographical position of the Ibero-armorican domain and Sardinia within the north gondwanan margin during the Lower Palaeozoic.     

Chromatic adaptation in a mutant of Fremyella diplosiphon incapable of phycoerythrin synthesis

A mutant of the chromatically adapting cyanobacterium Fremyella diplosiphon, incapable of phycoerythrin synthesis but responding to wavelength modulation of its biliprotein content, was isolated. The biliprotein composition of the mutant and of the wild type were identical after growth in red light, but green light induced, in the mutant, the synthesis of a biliviolin-type chromophore bound to some of the alpha subunits of its phycocyanin. Implications of the results on the regulation and possible pathways of biliprotein biosynthesis are discussed.     

Crystallographic orientations of structural elements in skeletons of Syringoporicae (tabulate corals,Carboniferous): implications for biomineralization processes in Palaeozoic corals

The crystallographic orientation of structural elements in skeletons of representatives of Carboniferous Syringoporicae (Auloporida) has been analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), petrographic microscopy and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) on specimens from the Iberian Peninsula. The skeletons of the tabulate corals of the Syringoporicae consist of biogenic calcite crystals, and their microstructure is composed of lamellae, fibres and granules, or of a combination of these. Independent of the microstructure, the c‐axis is oriented towards the lumen, quasi‐perpendicular to the growth direction of the skeleton (perpendicular to the morphological axis lamellae, parallel to fibres). Most phaceloid taxa have a turbostratic distribution, as a biogenic response to prevent the cleavage of crystals. Cerioid and some phaceloid corals, whose microstructure is conditioned by wall elements, do not exhibit turbostratic distribution. Wall elements are determined by the biology of each taxon. Holacanth septal spines are composed of fibres arranged in a cone‐shape structure, sometimes clamped to the external part of the corallite and show a complex crystallography. Monacanth septal spines are spindle shaped and composed of bundles of fibres. Tabulae are composed of lamellae. Their development and crystallographic orientation depends on the position of the epithelium in each case. Shared walls are formed by a combination of the walls of two independent corallites with a median lamina, composed of granules; these have a crystallographic orientation between that of the two corallites. The growth of the microstructure is derived by a coordinated stepping mode of growth, similar to other groups of organisms such as molluscs and scleractinians. The nucleation and formation of packages of co‐oriented microcrystals suggest a growth mode similar to mineral bridges with a competitive growth mode between each crystal. The growth pattern of corallites suggests that the growth direction is divided into two main components: a horizontal growth direction towards the lumen and a vertical direction towards the top.     

Le passage vers l’Atlantique : le processus de néolithisation en Algarve (sud du Portugal)

The late beginning of the research on the neolithisation in the Algarve (southern Portugal) has been providing, as a paradox, excellent conditions for the establishment of interdisciplinary research and the test of working hypotheses. The systematic projects put forward by the University of Algarve permit us today to conclude on a preliminary basis for the formation of a Neolithic enclave at ca. 5500 cal BC, centred in the coastal territories of the region. This enclave is fully Neolithic in economic terms and it is the westernmost extension of the Mediterranean Cardial. However, some specific features of these first Neolithic groups’ artefactual items (such as pottery morphology and style and some technological aspects of chipped stone production) indicate the existence of phenomena of partial reformulation of their material cultures. According to the presently available data, this complex process seems to have occurred in similar traits also in Andalucia and coastal Morocco, that is, at the moment of the passage to the Atlantic. This individualization within the Neolithic of Cardial tradition is the equivalent to the same general cultural phenomena that have been responsible for the formation, for example, of the so-called “Franco-Iberian Cardial” or “Tirrenic Cardial” at the time of settling of the Neolithic groups in these regions.
