No short‐ or long‐term effects of geolocator attachment detected in Pied Flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca

Tracking small passerines using miniaturized location tags is a rapidly expanding field of study. In a 1‐year study, we tested whether there were any short‐ or longer‐term effects of fitting geolocators weighing 3% of body mass on male Pied Flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca. In the deployment year, we compared adult provisioning rates to nestlings, nestling growth and nest success between nesting attempts in which adult males were fitted with a geolocator, with control nests where males had the same capture history but were not tagged. We found no difference between treatments in provisioning effort by males or their associated female 2 days after geolocator fitting, in terms of nestling growth, subsequent brood reduction or nest success. Return rate, arrival date on territories, nest timing and breeding parameters were compared between tagged and untagged males in the following breeding season. We found no difference in return rate or arrival date, and no difference in nest timing, fecundity or outcome. Our study suggests that fitting lightweight tags to small passerines need not affect behaviour, breeding or apparent between‐year survival. However, tagging new species should still require assessment and comparison with well‐matched control cohorts, and it should be recognized that tag effects could vary between years and populations, mediated by environmental conditions.     

The biogeography of trophic cascades on US oyster reefs

Predators can indirectly benefit prey populations by suppressing mid‐trophic level consumers, but often the strength and outcome of trophic cascades are uncertain. We manipulated oyster reef communities to test the generality of potential causal factors across a 1000‐km region. Densities of oyster consumers were weakly influenced by predators at all sites. In contrast, consumer foraging behaviour in the presence of predators varied considerably, and these behavioural effects altered the trophic cascade across space. Variability in the behavioural cascade was linked to regional gradients in oyster recruitment to and sediment accumulation on reefs. Specifically, asynchronous gradients in these factors influenced whether the benefits of suppressed consumer foraging on oyster recruits exceeded costs of sediment accumulation resulting from decreased consumer activity. Thus, although predation on consumers remains consistent, predator influences on behaviour do not; rather, they interact with environmental gradients to cause biogeographic variability in the net strength of trophic cascades.     

Effect of pH and salts on the binding of free amino acids to the corn protein zein studied by thin-layer chromatography

Summary. The interaction of free amino acids with the corn protein zein was studied by thin-layer chromatography carried out on cellulose layers covered with zein and the effect of pH and salts on the strength of interaction was elucidated. Only the binding of Arg, His, Lys, Orn and Trp to zein was verified, other amino acids were not retained. Retention of Arg, His, Lys and Orn decreased linearly with increasing concentration of salts the mobile phase indicating the hydrophilic character of amino acid–zein interaction. Both alkaline and acidic pH influenced the strength of binding. Principal component analysis indicated the different character of the influence of pH and salts on the interaction. The results suggest that these amino acid residues may account for the binding of other peptides and proteins to zein.     

Enzymatic esterification between n-alcohol homologs and n-caprylic acid in non-aqueous medium under microwave irradiation

The enzymatic esterification between n-alcohol homologs and n-caprylic acid catalyzed by lipozyme RM IM (LRI) in microwave field was investigated. Some interesting findings were obtained. The optimum reaction temperature slightly shifted from that in enzymatic esterification by conventional heating. n-Alcohol homologs used in this experiment showed substrate specificity in terms of the odd and even carbon numbers. THF expressed abnormal solvent effect. Whereas in the contrastive enzymatic esterification by conventional heating, the above mentioned substrate specificity and solvent effect were not observed. All the above phenomena could be explained by both thermal and non-thermal effect of microwave on enzyme and substrates. Further investigation revealed that microwave irradiation reduced the apparent activation energy of the enzymatic reaction according to Arrhenius equation, which is considered as one of the causes increasing initial reaction rate.     

The stability of predator-prey systems subject to the Allee effects

In recent years, many theoreticians and experimentalists have concentrated on the processes that affect the stability of predator-prey systems. But few papers have addressed the Allee effect with focus on the their stability. In this paper, we select two classical models describing predator-prey systems and introduce the Allee effects into the dynamics of both the predator and prey populations in these models, respectively. By combining mathematical analysis with numerical simulation, we have shown that the Allee effect may be a destabilizing force in predator-prey systems: the equilibrium point of the system could be changed from stable to unstable or otherwise, the system, even when it is stable, will take much longer time to reach the stable state. We also conclude that the equilibrium of the prey population will be enlarged due to the Allee effect of the predator, but the Allee effects of the prey may decrease the equilibrium value of the predator, or that of both the predator and prey. It should also be pointed out that the impact of the Allee effects of predator and prey due to different mechanisms on different predator-prey systems could also vary.     

Solvent isotope effects on α-glucosidase

The solvent kinetic isotope effects (SKIE) on the yeast α-glucosidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl and methyl-d-glucopyranoside were measured at 25 °C. With p-nitrophenyl-d-glucopyranoside (pNPG), the dependence of k_cat/K_m on pH (pD) revealed an unusually large (for glycohydrolases) solvent isotope effect on the pL-independent second-order rate constant, ^DOD(k_cat/K_m), of 1.9 (±0.3). The two pK_as characterizing the pH profile were increased in D₂O. The shift in pK_a2 of 0.6 units is typical of acids of comparable acidity (pK_a=6.5), but the increase in pK_a1 (=5.7) of 0.1 unit in going from H₂O to D₂O is unusually small. The initial velocities show substrate inhibition (K_is/K_m～200) with a small solvent isotope effect on the inhibition constant [^DODK_is=1.1 (±0.2)]. The solvent equilibrium isotope effects on the K_is for the competitive inhibitors d-glucose and α-methyl d-glucoside are somewhat higher [^DODK_i=1.5 (±0.1)]. Methyl glucoside is much less reactive than pNPG, with k_cat 230 times lower and k_cat/K_m 5×10⁴ times lower. The solvent isotope effect on k_cat for this substrate [=1.11 (±0. 02)] is lower than that for pNPG [=1.67 (±0.07)], consistent with more extensive proton transfer in the transition state for the deglucosylation step than for the glucosylation step.
