Abstract The palatability to common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. of three newly developed differently flavoured floating pellets made from a high proportion (40%) of brewer's spent grain (BSG) was tested using a multiple-offer feeding experiment. The addition of ‘bold’ flavours, such as vanilla or strawberry essence, may help mask the unpleasant taste of some piscicides; however, their inclusion must not compromise uptake by carp. There were no significant differences between the consumption rates of the three varieties, and all flavours were readily consumed. Therefore, it is suggested that highly flavoured pellets made with BSG have a strong potential to mask the flavour of an unpalatable toxin, and further research is now needed to test this hypothesis. 相似文献

Changes in soil carbon, the largest terrestrial carbon pool, are critical for the global carbon cycle, atmospheric CO2 levels and climate. Climate warming is predicted to be most pronounced in the northern regions and therefore the large soil carbon pool residing in boreal forests will be subject to larger global warming impact than soil carbon pools in the temperate or the tropical forest. A major uncertainty in current estimates of the terrestrial carbon balance is related to decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM). We hypothesized that when soils are exposed to warmer climate the structure of the ground vegetation will change much more rapidly than the dominant tree species. This change will alter the quality and amount of litter input to the soil and induce changes in microbial communities, thus possibly altering the temperature sensitivity of SOM decomposition. We transferred organic surface soil sections from the northern borders of the boreal forest zone to corresponding forest sites in the southern borders of the boreal forest zone and studied the effects of warmer climate after an adaptation period of 2 years. The results showed that initially ground vegetation and soil microbial community structure and community functions were different in northern and southern forest sites and that 2 years of exposure to warmer climate was long enough to cause changes in these ecological indicators. The rate of SOM decomposition was approximately equally sensitive to temperature irrespective of changes in vegetation or microbial communities in the studied forest sites. However, as temperature sensitivity of the decomposition increases with decreasing temperature regime, the proportional increase in the decomposition rate in northern latitudes could lead to significant carbon losses from the soils. 相似文献

The oligomerization of a family of four genetically clustered human gastrointestinal mucins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mucins are synthesized and secreted by many epithelia. They are complex
glycoproteins that offer cytoprotection. In their functional configuration,
mucins form oligomers by a biosynthetic process that is poorly understood.
A family of four human gastrointestinal mucin genes (MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B,
and MUC6) is clustered to chromosome 11p15.5. To study oligomerization of
these related mucins, we performed metabolic labeling experiments with
[35S]amino acids in LS174T cells, and isolated mucin precursors by specific
immunoprecipitations that were analyzed on SDS-PAGE. Each of the precursors
of MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B, and MUC6 formed a single species of
disulfide-linked homo-oligomer within 1 h after pulse labeling. Based on
apparent molecular masses, these oligomeric precursors were most likely
dimers. Inhibition of vesicular RER-to-Golgi transport, with brefeldin A
and CCCP, did not affect the dimerization of MUC2 precursors, localizing
dimerization to the RER. O-Glycosylation of MUC2 followed dimerization.
Inhibition of N- glycosylation by tunicamycin retarded, but did not
inhibit, dimerization, indicating that N-glycans play a role in efficient
dimerization of MUC2 precursors. Based on sequence homology, the ability of
MUC2, MUC5AC, MUC5B and MUC6 to dimerize most likely resides in their
C-terminal domains. Thus, the RER-localized dimerization of secretory
mucins likely proceeds by similar mechanisms, which is an essential step in
the formation of the human gastrointestinal mucus- gels.

Previous studies of the effect of carbonation on taste perception have
suggested that it may be negligible, manifesting primarily in increases in
the perceived intensity of weak salt and sour stimuli. Assuming CO2
solutions in the mouth stimulate only trigeminal nerve endings, this result
is not altogether surprising; however, there are neurophysiological data
indicating that CO2 stimulates gustatory as well as trigeminal fibers. In
that case, carbonation might alter the quality profile of a stimulus
without producing substantial changes in overall taste intensity--much as
occurs when qualitatively different taste stimuli are mixed. To address
this possibility, subjects were asked to rate the total taste intensity of
moderate concentrations of stimuli representing each of the basic tastes
and their binary combinations, with an without added carbonation. They then
subdivided total taste intensity into the proportions of sweetness,
saltiness, sourness, bitterness and 'other taste qualities' they perceived.
The addition of carbonation produced only small increases in ratings of
total taste intensity. However, rather dramatic alterations in the quality
profiles of stimuli were observed, particularly for sweet and salty tastes.
The nature of the interaction is consistent with a direct effect of
carbonation/CO2 on the gustatory system, although the possibility that at
least some of the observed effects reflect trigeminal-gustatory
interactions cannot be ruled out.

Abstract: Animal locations estimated by Global Positioning System (GPS) inherently contain errors. Screening procedures used to remove large positional errors often trade data accuracy for data loss. We developed a simple screening method that identifies locations arising from unrealistic movement patterns. When applied to a large data set of moose (Alces alces) locations, our method identified virtually all known errors with minimal loss of data. Thus, our method for screening GPS data improves the quality of data sets and increases the value of such data for research and management. 相似文献

1. Omnivorous predators can protect plants from herbivores, but may also consume plant material themselves. Omnivores and their purely herbivorous prey have previously been thought to respond similarly to host‐plant quality. However, different responses of omnivores and herbivores to their shared host plants may influence the fitness, trophic identity, and population dynamics of the omnivores. 2. The aim of the present study was to show that an omnivorous heteropteran (Anthocoris nemorum L.) and two strictly herbivorous prey species respond differently to different genotypes of their shared host plant, Salix. Some plant genotypes were sub‐optimal for the omnivore, although suitable for the herbivores, and vice versa. 3. The contrasting patterns of plant suitability for the omnivore and the herbivores highlight an interaction between plant genotype and omnivores' access to animal food. Plant genotypes that were sub‐optimal for the omnivore when herbivores were experimentally excluded became the best host plants when herbivores were present, as in the latter situation additional prey became available. By contrast, the quality of plant genotypes that were intrinsically suitable for omnivores, did not improve when herbivores were present as these plant genotypes were intrinsically sub‐optimal for herbivores, thus providing omnivores with almost no additional animal food. 4. The differential responses of omnivores and their prey to the same host‐plant genotypes should allow omnivores to colonise sub‐optimal host plants in their capacity as predators, and to colonise more suitable host plants in their capacity as herbivores. It may thus be difficult for Salix to escape herbivory entirely, as it will rarely be unsuitable for both omnivores and pure herbivores at the same time. 相似文献
