1. Effects of the frequency and duration of flooding on the structural and functional characteristics of riparian vegetation were studied at four sites (n = 80, 50 × 50 cm, plots) along medium‐sized naturally meandering lowland streams. Special focus was on rich fens, which – due to their high species richness – are of high priority in nature conservation. 2. Reed beds, rich fens and meadows were all regularly flooded during the 20‐year study period, with a higher frequency in reed bed areas than in rich fen and meadow areas. In rich fens, species richness was higher in low frequency flooded areas (≤3 year?1) than in areas with a high frequency of flooding (>3 year?1) or no flooding, whereas species richness in reed beds and meadows was unaffected by flood frequency. 3. The percentage of stress‐tolerant species was higher in low intensity flooded rich fen areas than in high intensity and non‐flooded areas, indicating that the higher species richness in low frequency flooded rich fens was caused by competitive release. We found no indication that increased productivity was associated with high flooding frequencies. 4. We conclude that the restoration of morphological features in stream channels to increase the flooding regime can be beneficial for protected vegetation within riparian areas, but also that groundwater discharge thresholds and critical levels for protected vegetation should be identified and considered when introducing stream ecosystem restoration plans. 相似文献

Excitotoxicity, which is mediated via glutamate receptors, is also a phenomenon of the enteric nervous system. Whether enteric glial cells (EGCs), which resemble astrocytes of the central nervous system, express glutamate receptors and hence are involved in gut excitotoxicity is not yet known. To investigate glutamate receptor subunit expression in EGCs, primary EGC cultures of the myenteric plexus were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blotting. These studies indeed showed that in EGC cultures, mRNA of the glutamate receptor subunits NR1, NR2A/B, GluR1, GluR3, and GluR5 and the protein bands of the glutamate receptor subunits NR2A/B, GluR1, GluR3, and GluR5 could be detected. Thus, in the enteric nervous system, glutamate receptor subunits are also expressed by EGCs, indicating that these cells might be involved in gut excitotoxicity. 相似文献

Trophic differentiation in the phylogenetically young Cyprinodon species flock (Cyprinodontidae, Teleostei) from Laguna Chichancanab (Mexico) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Analysis of the gut contents of six syntopic Cyprinodon species from Laguna Chichancanab, Mexico, shows that the supposed basal form, C. beltrani , feeds on detritus and has the longest gut. All other species have significantly shorter guts. Whereas C. simus exclusively ingests detritus despite short gut length, all other species additionally rely on different benthic invertebrates. Each species has developed specific preferences: C. labiosus (amphipods), C. verecundus (bivalves), C. maya (ostracods and gastropods) and C. esconditus (ostracods and chironomid larvae). However, all of them ingest a minimum of c. 40% detritus. According to Schoener's index, pairwise niche overlap varies from c. 40% to over 95% in the species flock. Contrary to this, there is almost no overlap between the members of the flock and the only other native fish species, Gambusia sexradiata , which feeds nearly exclusively on terrestrial arthropods dropping on the water surface. Recently, the cichlid genus Oreochromis and the characid Astyanax fasciatus gained access to the lake. The cichlids show moderate to high niche overlap, whereas in A. fasciatus it is low. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2005, 85 , 125–134. 相似文献

Abstract: We redescribe the morphology of Yohoia tenuis (Chelicerata sensu lato) from the Cambrian Burgess Shale Lagerstätte. The morphology of the most anterior, prominent, so‐called great appendage changes throughout ontogeny. While its principal morphology remains unaltered, the length ratios of certain parts of the great appendage change significantly. Furthermore, it possesses a special jack‐knifing mechanism, i.e. an elbow joint: the articulation between the distal one of the two peduncle elements and the most proximal of the four spine‐bearing claw elements. This morphology might have enabled the animal to hunt like a modern spearer‐type mantis shrimp, an analogy enhanced by the similarly large and protruding eyes. For comparison, details of specimens of selected other great‐appendage arthropods from the Lower Cambrian Chengjiang Lagerstätte have been investigated using fluorescence microscopy. This revealed that the morphology of the great appendage of Y. tenuis is much like that of the Chengjiang species Fortiforceps foliosa and Jianfengia multisegmentalis. The morphology of the great appendage of the latter is even more similar to the morphology developed in early developmental stages of Y. tenuis, while the morphology of the great appendage of F. foliosa is more similar to that of later developmental stages of Y. tenuis. The arrangement of the elbow joint supports the view that the great appendage evolved into the chelicera of Chelicerata sensu stricto, as similar joints are found in various ingroup taxa such as Xiphosura, Opiliones or Palpigradi. With this, it also supports the interpretation of the great appendage to be homologous with the first appendage of other arthropods. 相似文献

Serradium semiaquaticum sp. n. is described from several North Italian caves. The new species is very similar to, and probably the closest relative of S. hirsutipes Verhoeff, 1941, which lives in the same caves as S. semiaquaticum but has a wider distribution. Serradium hirsutipes is redescribed and newly recorded from several caves. Serradium semiaquaticum is remarkable by its semiaquatic habits and correspondingly modified spiracles and mouthparts, whereas S. hirsutipes is normal in these respects. The genus Serradium is reviewed, and a key to the known species is given. Serradium as currently defined may not be a monophyletic group. Serradium semiaquaticum and S. hirsutipes show strong gonopodal similarity (synapomorphy?) with species of Polydesmus, subgenus Acanthotarsius. 相似文献

Ultrathin sections of the cuticular membranes of several plantspecies show a deposit of silver granules after reaction withan acidic solution of iodide ions followed by silver proteinatesolution. Depolymerization analysis of the cutins from 20 speciesin which the staining reaction was studied indicated that expoxidegroups were the reactive components. Experiments with isolatedcuticular membrane preparations and with pure cutin monomerssupported this conclusion and established that the first stageof the reaction is likely to be the formation of the iodohydrinderivatives of the epoxides with iodide. These groups presumablyreact with silver proteinate to produce silver in the secondstage of the test. The reaction could be blocked by treatingsections with either aqueous sulphuric acid, sulphuric acidin methanol, or boron trifluoride in methanol, reagents capableof converting epoxide groups in the cutin of the specimen tounreactive derivatives. 相似文献

ABSTRACT. The propagation of sound in the frequency band (2–12 kHz) used by the Corixidae was measured in two shallow natural ponds. At distances of more than 1 m from the shore the water was at least O.4 m deep. The first pond was eutrophic and contained no plants. The spread of sound into the open water obeyed approximately the geometric attenuation of the sound pressure level (SPL); a loss of 6dB for each doubling of the distance from the point sound source. Near the shore the attenuation was considerably greater, especially for low frequencies; for a 2 kHz signal the damping of the SPL was c. 40–50 dB/m.
The second pond had dense plant growth, and the sound attenuation depended strongly on the photosynthetic activity of the waterplants. Measurements in winter, with an overcast sky, revealed only a slight damping effect of the plants for a 10kHz test signal. During intense sunlight in summer, however, in addition to the geometric attenuation the damping effect of the plants over a distance of O.5 m was 50 dB for a 2 kHz signal and 80 dB for 10 kHz. This effect was due to gas bubbles produced during intense photosynthesis.
Song A of Corixa dentipes Thms. (Heteroptera) males elicits usually a response by male conspecifics. The threshold SPL for this response was measured to be c. 40 dB lower than the SPL at a distance of O.1 m from a stridulating animal. From the measurements of sound propagation it follows, therefore, that the effective range of Song A in the most favourable case is at least 10m, though in a pond overgrown with plants it can be less than O.4 m. 相似文献
