若尔盖人-狼冲突现状与管理研究

大中型食肉动物肇事事件导致人类与野生动物关系恶化,给生物多样性保护工作带来巨大的挑战。若尔盖湿地是我国三大湿地之一,湿地、草原分布广泛,生物多样性丰富,畜牧业发达,但近年来狼(Canis lupus)捕杀牲畜的肇事事件时有发生。为了解若尔盖野生狼肇事件的空间分布以及牧民对人-狼冲突管理的看法,本研究于2022年对若尔盖县13个乡镇83个行政村进行走访调查。结果表明：(1)多数受访者(66.0%)认为在过去5年内,若尔盖县野生狼数量有所增加;(2)狼肇事事件具有明显的空间分异性,最严重的是包座乡。包座乡临近山区,该区域牧场面积广阔、牧民饲养牲畜数量多等原因导致该镇发生狼肇事事件较多;(3)对于狼肇事,绝大多数牧民(85.0%)更希望采取经济补偿或者驱赶措施,只有少数牧民(9.4%)希望采取捕杀的措施;(4)影响牧民对狼肇事管理措施的偏好因子中,受教育程度、年龄、民族以及被杀牲畜数量有显著影响。建议加强狼种群监测管理,采取措施减少狼捕杀牲畜,优化补偿机制,缓解当地牧民与狼之间的矛盾。本研究为当前若尔盖县野生动物保护和管理决策提供了依据,对其他地区大型食肉动物与当地居民冲突管理具有借鉴意义。

不同种源中间锦鸡儿碳氮磷化学计量特征研究

中间锦鸡儿(Caragana liouana)是中国毛乌素沙地的主要灌木建群种,在其主要分布区采集9个不同地理种源的种子,栽种至同质园,并测定不同器官(根、茎、叶)碳(C)、氮(N)、磷(P)含量,比较种源和器官间碳氮磷化学计量特征的差异及元素之间的相关性。结果显示:(1)不同种源中间锦鸡儿根、茎、叶的C含量差异显著,分别为361.12~426.30mg·g~(-1)、412.32~463.13mg·g~(-1)、419.21~478.94mg·g~(-1);N含量种源间差异显著,分别为20.52~33.67mg·g~(-1)、15.77~23.92mg·g~(-1)、27.60~36.44mg·g~(-1);P含量种源间差异显著,分别为1.52~3.73mg·g~(-1)、1.24~2.14mg·g~(-1)、1.44~2.38mg·g~(-1);不同器官的C/N、C/P、N/P也表现出种源间显著差异。(2)种源和器官对中间锦鸡儿碳氮磷化学计量特征的影响程度存在差异,种源对P、C/P、N/P影响较大,器官对C、N、C/N影响较大。(3)相关性分析表明,N、P分别对C/N和C/P的变异起主导作用,并共同影响N/P的变异。研究表明,中间锦鸡儿的碳氮磷化学计量特征在长期的适应进化过程中已产生遗传分化,并形成了自身的养分利用策略。     

Elongated mouse chromosomes suitable for enhanced molecular cytogenetics

Characterization of genetic disorders in humans and animal models requires identification of chromosomal aberrations. However, identifying fine deletions or insertion in metaphase chromosomes has been always a challenge due to limitations of resolution. In this study we developed a rapid method for chromosome elongation using two different intercalating agents: ethidium bromide and 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU), together with a short-term mitotic block using colcemid. About 70% of the chromosomes from cells that underwent this elongation procedure reached three times longer than those prepared from control cells. FISH experiments using elongated chromosomes revealed a duplicated region of chromosome 11 that was not visible in cells prepared with conventional methods.     

蒜香藤叶挥发油的化学成分

蒜香藤（Pseudocalymma alliaceum Sandw．）又名紫铃藤,为紫葳科（Bignoniaceae）常绿藤状灌木,原产于南美洲的圭亚那和巴西。蒜香藤花、叶在搓揉之后,有浓浓的大蒜香味,其叶深绿富有光泽,花形大而优美,中国许多地方已引种栽培,一般作为篱笆、围墙美化或凉亭、棚架装饰之用。蒜香藤具有浓郁的蒜香,甚至可作为蒜的替代物用于烹饪。但有关其叶挥发性成分研究尚未见报道。本文利用气相色谱-质谱联用技术（GC—MS）分析了西双版纳植物园引种栽培的蒜香藤叶挥发油的化学成分,以期为合理开发和利用蒜香藤植物资源提供科学依据。     

Differences in the kinetics, amplitude, and localization of ERK activation in anergy and priming revealed at the level of individual primary T cells by laser scanning cytometry

One of the potential mechanisms of peripheral tolerance is the unresponsiveness of T cells to secondary antigenic stimulation as a result of the induction of anergy. It has been widely reported that antigenic unresponsiveness may be due to uncoupling of MAPK signal transduction pathways. However, such signaling defects in anergic T cell populations have been mainly identified using immortalized T cell lines or T cell clones, which do not truly represent primary Ag-specific T cells. We have therefore attempted to quantify signaling events in murine primary Ag-specific T cells on an individual cell basis, using laser-scanning cytometry. We show that there are marked differences in the amplitude and cellular localization of phosphorylated ERK p42/p44 (ERK1/2) signals when naive, primed and anergic T cells are challenged with peptide-pulsed dendritic cells. Primed T cells display more rapid kinetics of phosphorylation and activation of ERK than naive T cells, whereas anergic T cells display a reduced ability to activate ERK1/2 upon challenge. In addition, the low levels of pERK found in anergic T cells are distributed diffusely throughout the cell, whereas in primed T cells, pERK appears to be targeted to the same regions of the cell as the TCR. These data suggest that the different consequences of Ag recognition by T cells are associated with distinctive kinetics, amplitude, and localization of MAPK signaling.
