用不同电场强度处理油葵种子,在田间和实验室测定电场处理种子对苗期干旱胁迫后生长的影响。研究结果表明,种子经电场处理,可明显提高油葵生长的抗旱能力。在０．５ｋＶ／ｃｍ－６．０ｋＶ／ｃｍ场强范围内,不同电场强度对其生长的影响程序不同。与对照组相比,田间出苗率提高４．１１％￣２８．０％,根冠比提高６．６０％￣３８．７％,植株萎蔫程度降低５．０％￣９５％,产量提高３．４０％￣１７．９％,含油率提高１．０３     

Molecular phylogenetic evidence that the phylum Haplosporidia has an alveolate ancestry

The phylogenetic position of the phylum Haplosporidia among other protists was investigated with the complete 16S-like rRNA gene sequences from two species in the phylum: Haplosporidium nelsoni, a parasite of oysters, and Minchinia teredinis, a parasite of shipworms. Because the lack of obvious morphological homologies with other protists hampered decisions regarding taxonomic composition for sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis, the complete sequences for these two haplosporidians were directed as search queries to the blast/ncbi.nlm.nih.gov electronic mail server. The results of this heuristic similarity search provided a basis for constructing a preliminary higher-taxonomic-level analysis comparing the haplosporidians with species from the slime molds, fungi, algae, amoebae, ciliates, dinoflagellates, and apicomplexans. Maximum parsimony yielded equivocal results, whereas transversionally weighted parsimony suggested an affinity with the alveolates (i.e., the ciliates, dinoflagellates, and apicomplexans). Multiple alignment of the two haplosporidian sequences against 17 taxa in a secondary analysis focusing on the alveolates and subsequent parsimony analysis placed the phylum Haplosporidia as a monophyletic group within the Alveolata and as a taxon of equal rank with the other three alveolate phyla. The precise placement within the Alveolata was sensitive to weighting.      

A thermistor leaf thermometer

An instrument is described which allows measurements of leaf temperature within about 0.3 C. It consists of a special thermistor probe, a small circuit box, and a standard ammeter. The circuit box can easily be fixed to the meter and contains a battery, which passes 0.3 milliampere through the thermistor, and also contains an integrated circuit amplifier, so that the meter reads 20 C full scale deflection, with ranges adjustable in 10 C steps. Calibration experiments show the superiority of the thermistor leaf thermometer to a thermocouple pressed onto a rubber surface with a resilience resembling that of a leaf.

气候变化对内蒙古中东部沙地-湿地镶嵌景观的影响

利用小波分析和遥感技术相结合的方法,研究了气候变化对1961—2005年内蒙古中东部沙地-湿地镶嵌景观的影响.结果表明：1961—2005年,研究区年均气温呈直线上升趋势,增温率为0.32 ℃·（10 a）^-1,年降水量变化呈现30 a的长周期和15 a的短周期,年均风速呈下降趋势,10 a的风速减小率为0.26 m·s^-1;研究区东南部存在一个气候变化恒定区域,由此恒定区向西北进入浑善达克沙地腹地,向东逐步进入科尔沁沙地腹地;2010年以前,研究区仍将维持气温升高、降水偏少、风速减小的趋势;受气候暖干化的影响,浑善达克沙地及其周围湿地的总面积呈逐年缩小趋势,随着沙地内部植被的退化,流动沙地不断扩大、湿地萎缩、湖泊干涸,而相应的固定和半固定沙地面积则明显减少.     

蟋蟀脑的解剖结构与生理机能

蟋蟀脑由前脑、中脑和后脑三部分组成。前脑由1对蕈形体、中央复合体和视叶构成;每个蕈形体由2个冠、柄及与柄相连的α叶和β叶组成,是信息联络整合部位;中央复合体由中央体和脑桥组成,主要参与感觉信息的加工过程;视叶由神经节层、外髓和内髓组成,是视觉系统的中心。中脑由主要组成成分为嗅觉纤维球的嗅叶组成,是嗅觉系统的中心。后脑向后与食道下神经节相连。     

Benthic freshwater nematode community dynamics under conditions of Tilapia aquaculture in Egypt

Studies of the influence of fish aquaculture on benthic freshwater nematode assemblages are scarce, but could provide a way of gauging environmental effects. The abundance and diversity of nematode assemblages in response to Oreochromis niloticus aquaculture were investigated in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate, Egypt, from July to November 2014 under conditions of irrigation (reference), fish farm pond with high Tilapia density, and fish farm pond effluent canal without fish. The nematode genera Adoncholaimus, Punctodora, Labronema, Oncholaimus and Odontolaimus were present at all sites. Environmental factors were not related to nematode distribution patterns. Tilapia predation and/or disturbance may explain reduced nematode abundance, especially of the largest genera, Adoncholaimus, Punctodora and Labronema at the fish farm site. The absence of fish from the drainage site allowed intergeneric nematode competitive exclusion, benefitting the largest nematodes and reducing diversity indices.     

江西玉山上奥陶统凯迪阶三衢山组的丛花海绵(Corymbospongia)*

串管海绵在中–晚奥陶世经历了的首次辐射演化事件, 在北美、新南威尔士、哈萨克斯坦、西伯利亚和中国西北等地的上奥陶统地层中皆有报道, 但研究程度较低。本文系华南奥陶系串管海绵首次系统古生物学的报道, 详细描述江西玉山上奥陶统凯迪阶三衢山组的Corymbospongia (丛花海绵属)化石, 并基于C. amplia Rigby, Karl, Blodgett & Baichtal, 2005和C. mica Rigby & Potter, 1986的标本展示该属化石外壁的微孔等特征性结构, 这2个种具有跨板块的生物地理分布。综合串管海绵产出层的碳酸盐岩微相以及伴生钙藻和珊瑚化石等群落分子的指相参照, 识别C. amplia和C. mica均具有明显的生态专属性: C. amplia为造礁生物, 在小型微生物岩中出现; C. mica则代表适应于更浅水生境的平地群落代表。本研究将为从底栖生物群落角度开展扬子区生物地层学及古地理重建提供进一步的依据。
