All gibbon species (Family: Hylobatidae) are considered threatened with extinction and recognized on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species. Because gibbons are one of the most threatened families of primates, monitoring their status is now critically important. Long-term monitoring programs applying occupancy approaches, in addition to assessing occurrence probability, improves understanding of other population parameters such as site extinction or colonization probabilities, which elucidate temporal and spatial changes and are therefore important for guiding conservation efforts. In this study, we used multiple season occupancy models to monitor occurrence, extinction, and colonization probabilities for northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbon Nomascus annamensis in three adjacent protected areas in the Central Annamites mountain range, Vietnam. We collected data at 30 listening posts in 2012, 2014, and 2016 using the auditory point count method. Occurrence probabilities were highest in 2012 (0.74, confidence interval [CI]: 0.56–0.87) but slightly lower in 2014 (0.66, CI: 0.51–0.79) and 2016 (0.67, CI: 0.49–0.81). Extinction probabilities during the 2012–2014 and 2014–2016 intervals were 0.26 (0.14–0.44) and 0.25 (0.12–0.44), respectively. Colonization probabilities during 2012–2014 were 0.44 (0.19–0.73) and between 2014 and 2016 was 0.51 (0.26–0.75). Although local site extinctions have occurred, high recolonization probability helped to replenish the unoccupied sites and kept the occurrence probability stable. Long-term monitoring programs which use occurrence probability alone might not fully reveal the true dynamics of gibbon populations. We strongly recommend including multiple season occupancy models to monitor occurrence, extinction, and colonization probabilities in long-term gibbon monitoring programs. 相似文献
14C-labelled polar lipids (monogalactosyl-diacylglycerol [MGDG], digalactosyl-diacylglycerol [DGDG], phosphatidylcholine [PC] and phosphatidylglycerol [PG]), purified from Vigna unguiculata leaves, were used as substrates to study the lipolytic activities of Vigna unguiculata leaf extracts. Analysis of the radioactive degradation products revealed the presence of at least three enzyme activities contributing to the hydrolysis of the four main leaf membrane lipids: Lipolytic acyl hydrolase (LAH) activities responsible for the deacylation of galactolipids and phospholipids, phospholipase D (PLD, EC 3.1.4.4) activity which gives rise to phosphatidic acid, and as suggested by the presence of diacylglycerols in minor quantities after phospholipid hydrolysis, phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP, EC 3.1.3.4) and/or phospholipase C (PLC, EC 3.1.4.3.) activity. Under the conditions described in the present paper, the presence of phospholipase A (PLA1, EC 3.1.1.3 and PLA2, EC 3.1.1.4) activities remains hypothetical, due to the absence of lysophospholipids. LAH and PLD were partially soluble and partially associated with the membranes. When Vigna unguiculata plants were submitted to drought, the enzymatic degradation of galactolipids and phospholipids increased. The stimulation of lipolytic activities was greater in the drought-sensitive cultivar of Vigna unguiculata (cv. 1183) than in the drought-tolerant (cv. EPACE-1) one. In cv. 1183, MGDG- and DGDG-LAH activities in the membrane fractions were dramatically stimulated at a rather moderate water deficit (?0.75 MPa). A sharp increase in membrane phospholipolytic activities was also observed at mild drought stress (?1.2 MPa). In contrast, in cv. EPACE-1, the stimulation of lipolytic activities was less drastic and occurred at lower leaf water potentials (below ?1.2 MPa for galactolipases, and below ?1.4 MPa for phospholipases). Our results confirm the presence in leaves of higher plants of a very active LAH acting on galactolipids, whereas PLD is the main enzyme responsible for the degradation of phospholipids, particularly when plants are submitted to drought stress. The differences in stimulation of lipolytic activities between the two Vigna cultivars was in accordance with the different levels of membrane lipid degradation shown previously and could explain their different capacity to sustain drought. 相似文献
A novel hybrid of small core@shell structured CoSx@Cu2MoS4 uniformly hybridizing with a molybdenum dichalcogenide/N,S‐codoped graphene hetero‐network (CoSx@Cu2MoS4‐MoS2/NSG) is prepared by a facile route. It shows excellent performance toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline medium. The hybrid exhibits rapid kinetics for ORR with high electron transfer number of ≈3.97 and exciting durability superior to commercial Pt/C. It also demonstrates great potential with remarkable stability for HER and OER, requiring low overpotential of 118.1 and 351.4 mV, respectively, to reach a current density of 10 mA cm?2. An electrolyzer based on CoSx@Cu2MoS4‐MoS2/NSG produces low cell voltage of 1.60 V and long‐term stability, surpassing a device of Pt/C + RuO2/C. In addition, a Zn‐air battery using cathodic CoSx@Cu2MoS4‐MoS2/NSG catalyst delivers a high cell voltage of ≈1.44 V and a power density of 40 mW cm?2 at 58 mA cm?2, better than the state‐of‐the‐art Pt/C catalyst. These achievements are due to the rational combination of highly active core@shell CoSx@Cu2MoS4 with large‐area and high‐porosity MoS2/NSG to produce unique physicochemical properties with multi‐integrated active centers and synergistic effects. The outperformances of such catalyst suggest an advanced candidate for multielectrocatalysis applications in metal‐air batteries and hydrogen production. 相似文献
Interlocked challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation require transformative interventions in the land management and food production sectors to reduce carbon emissions, strengthen adaptive capacity, and increase food security. However, deciding which interventions to pursue and understanding their relative co‐benefits with and trade‐offs against different social and environmental goals have been difficult without comparisons across a range of possible actions. This study examined 40 different options, implemented through land management, value chains, or risk management, for their relative impacts across 18 Nature's Contributions to People (NCPs) and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We find that a relatively small number of interventions show positive synergies with both SDGs and NCPs with no significant adverse trade‐offs; these include improved cropland management, improved grazing land management, improved livestock management, agroforestry, integrated water management, increased soil organic carbon content, reduced soil erosion, salinization, and compaction, fire management, reduced landslides and hazards, reduced pollution, reduced post‐harvest losses, improved energy use in food systems, and disaster risk management. Several interventions show potentially significant negative impacts on both SDGs and NCPs; these include bioenergy and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, afforestation, and some risk sharing measures, like commercial crop insurance. Our results demonstrate that a better understanding of co‐benefits and trade‐offs of different policy approaches can help decision‐makers choose the more effective, or at the very minimum, more benign interventions for implementation. 相似文献

This study investigated the biomass production process from the laboratory to the pilot scale in order to use the nutrient-rich biomass of the diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii as live feed for white-leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) at larval stages (zoeal, mysis, and postlarval) and in commercial production in hatcheries in Vietnam. Our results showed that T. weissflogii was successfully cultured in 1–2 L Erlenmeyer flasks, 0.2–3.5 m3 composite tanks, and 6.5 m3 tubular photobioreactors, with the highest cell density of 1.6 × 106 cells mL?1 reached after 6 days of culture. Under optimal culture conditions, the protein, lipid, and carbohydrate contents in this algal biomass were 13.2%, 20.0%, and 10.0% of dry cell weight, respectively. The fatty acid composition contains high amount of palmitic acid (C16:0, 43.11% of total fatty acid), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5ω-3), approximated 16.5% of total fatty acid. In a 50 L larval rearing tank, at the optimal stocking density of 125 nauplii L?1, the survival percentage (75.55%), the total body length (from 5.376 ± 0.007 to 10.860 ± 0.030 mm), and weight (at from PL1 to PL12 stages) (from 0.145 ± 0.002 to 1.158 ± 0.005 g) of the white-leg shrimp larvae reached the highest values but the metamorphosis time (234 h) was shortest compared with the other stocking densities. Further, adding living T. weissflogii biomass to the diet of white-leg shrimp larvae at the nauplii 6 stage led to an increase in the body length, weight, and survival percentage of white-leg shrimp larvae of 21.17%, 35.7%, and 33% higher compared with those of larvae fed the control diet (without the addition of T. weissflogii), respectively. At the same time, the metamorphosis time of larvae (from Z1 to PL1) decreased by 4 h compared to the control group. In intensive ponds (area of 6400 m2 pond?1), using seed stocks at the postlarvae 12 stage that had been fed T. weissflogii, the final weight, yield, and survival percentage of the shrimp were increased by 7.3%, 14.2%, and 16.3%, respectively, compared with those of the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in the protein and carbohydrate contents in the shrimp flesh among the experimental and control group (p > 0.05). The lipid, omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acid contents of shrimp flesh in experiment formula (per 100 g shrimp) were 1.21 g, 72.9 mg, 114 mg, and 86.1 mg, 11%, 29%, 21.6%, and 17.7% higher than that those in control, respectively. The obtained results show the great potential of using T. weissflogii as live feed on white-leg shrimp farms in Vietnam.
