农业景观动态对林地地表节肢动物多样性的影响

以黄河下游典型农区封丘县为研究区,在林地景观中进行地表节肢动物的观测。用物种丰富度和香农多样性指数代表物种多样性,选择代表景观背景的5个竞争模型:生境特性(H1,2012)、基质特性(H2,2012)、生境变化(H3,1984—2012)、基质变化(H4,1984—2012)和土壤-环境条件(H5,2012)从4个空间尺度上(100,250,350和500 m)进行分析,通过运用基于赤池信息量准则(Akaike information criterion,AIC)的多模型推理(Multi-model Inference,MMI)方法,在R软件里用广义线性模型(Generalized Linear Models,GLM)探究了研究区近30年(1984—2012年)景观背景变化对林地地表节肢动物多样性的影响。研究表明,不同景观背景模型对地表节肢动物多样性的影响具有尺度依赖性。在100 m的尺度下,生境特性(H1)最能够解释香农多样性和物种丰富度,但是随着尺度的增加,生境特性变化(H3)在较大(250、350 m和500 m)的尺度对物种丰富度和香农多样性影响最大,而基质特性和土壤-环境条件(H2和H5)的作用不显著。景观背景对地表节肢动物多样性的解释量达到40%。在研究区域,生境特性是表征香农多样性指数和物种丰富度的指标。     

植物群落稀有种维持机制与土壤反馈的研究进展

自Janzen-Connell (J-C)假说提出后半个世纪以来, 生态学家在热带及亚热带森林对该假说开展的大量实证研究表明, 由专性天敌导致的J-C效应所引起的负密度制约是维持森林多样性和决定群落组成的重要驱动力, 该假说成功地解释了热带及亚热带森林的丰富多样性。土壤病原真菌所引起的植物-土壤负反馈是J-C效应最主要的表现形式。然而, 对于植物-土壤负反馈是否能够维持森林群落中的大量稀有种仍然存在许多争议。基于当代物种共存理论的“稀有种优势”假说认为, 只有在满足“可入侵准则” (即物种在稀有时具有种群增加的趋势)的前提下, 稀有种才能在群落中与其他物种长期共存。然而, 当前基于土壤反馈的实验结果与该理论预测相悖, 因此在稀有种的维持机制方面仍存在较大的分歧。本文通过介绍植物-土壤反馈理论, 整合了可能对稀有种维持有较大影响的因素, 包括共生菌根真菌、土壤养分以及植物细根性状等在影响土壤负反馈方面的相关研究, 并对这些因素如何影响群落中物种多度和稀有种在群落中的维持进行了探讨。最后, 我们也从其他角度探讨了一些对稀有种维持的研究。我们认为在未来对稀有种的研究中, 探讨使其长期存续的“优势”和制约其种群扩大的“限制”同等重要, 将当代物种共存理论与新技术、新方法相结合对于探究稀有种的维持机制具有重要的意义, 可为稀有种保护提供理论依据。     

Two fitness measures for clonal plants and the importance of spatial aspects

The capability of clonal plants to reproduce both sexually and vegetatively and their resulting hierarchical organisation into ramets and genets pose problems for the determination of fitness. We develop ramet-based measures of clonal plant fitness including both modes of reproduction. To this end we use simple population-dynamic equations accounting for limited space, limited dispersal, and disturbance. Neglecting interactions among ramets (r-selection regime) we derive an expression for initial growth rate r as a fitness measure. At higher densities interactions among ramets lead to density control (K-selection regime) and competitive exclusion of genotypes or species may occur. In this case we apply an invasibility criterion to derive an abundance fitness measure: competitiveness C. The optimum of C corresponds to an evolutionary stable strategy. C increases with the proportion of reproductive adults, with inverse module mortality, and with the sum of sexual and vegetative reproduction. The latter are defined as the product of the rate of module production and two correction factors accounting for juvenile mortality before establishment and for the efficiency of space exploitation by propagules. Thus C is equivalent to potential life-time offspring production, in contrast to realized life-time offspring production R₀. Because the correction factor for space exploitation cannot be expressed analytically we obtain it from complementary spatially-explicit individual-based simulations. To illustrate an application of the fitness measure C we predict optimal allocation to vegetative and sexual reproduction. In a homogeneous habitat an intermediate allocation may maximize fitness only if there is a non-linear trade-off between the modes of reproduction. However even if this trade-off is linear, spatially heterogenous disturbances can lead to an intermediate optimum of allocation because seed dispersal with subsequent vegetative spread improves the utilization of available space for recruitment if the spatial extent of single disturbances is much larger than the distance of vegetative dispersal. Thus, our study underlines the importance of spatial features for fitness measures especially of clonal plants.

不同用足偏侧性大山雀的巢址选择对道路和建筑物分布的响应

行为偏侧化现象广泛存在于不同的动物类群。行为偏侧性不同的动物个体响应特定刺激的行为表现存在差异,可能会影响其适合度。探究行为偏侧化与适合度相关行为之间的联系,有助于理解行为偏侧化对物种适应自然环境能力的影响。然而,目前对不同行为偏侧性的动物个体在野外自然条件下响应特定刺激(如风险刺激)是否存在行为差异仍然知之甚少。2022年,本研究在河南董寨国家级自然保护区附近选取样地悬挂人工巢箱400个,并对利用巢箱繁殖的大山雀(Parus minor)进行了用足偏侧性测试。通过对比77只不同用足偏侧性的大山雀(雄性45只,雌性32只)巢址与人类干扰源(道路和建筑物)之间的距离,分析了左偏侧性和右偏侧性大山雀在人为干扰环境中的巢址选择差异。结果表明,雄性大山雀的巢址与最近道路以及最近建筑物之间的距离在左偏侧性和右偏侧性个体之间均没有显著差异。对于雌性大山雀,繁殖起始时间越晚,左偏侧性个体和右偏侧个体所利用的巢址均离最近道路更远,但仅左偏侧性个体的巢址到最近建筑物的距离更远,而右偏侧性个体的巢址到最近建筑物的距离不变。上述结果说明,行为偏侧性差异可能会影响个体在野外环境中对人类活动干扰的响应。由于国内外在相关领域开展研究较少,本研究建议在野生动物中开展更多工作,以深入探究行为偏侧化与动物适应变化环境的相关行为之间的联系。     

灵长类社会玩耍的行为模式、影响因素及其功能风险

社会玩耍是指两个或两个以上个体共同参与的一种互作性玩耍行为,个体间的行为彼此适应并相互影响。社会玩耍行为在灵长类物种的社会交往过程中普遍发生,作为未成年个体一种重要的发育行为,其对个体的生存技能和成年后的繁殖成功具有重要影响。灵长类物种的社会玩耍不仅仅表现为追逐、摔跤、跳跃等一些常见行为,部分物种还发展出自己特有的行为。一般而言,社会玩耍在婴儿后期和青少年早期的发生频率最高,然后随着年龄增长直到成年时期,这类行为的平均发生频率将逐渐下降。未成年雄性个体要比同年龄段的雌性个体更喜欢玩耍,但常因物种、研究对象年龄等因素表现不同甚至相反;很多物种的个体喜欢与有亲缘关系的个体玩耍,或者与性别相同、年龄相仿、等级相近的个体玩耍。总之,非人灵长类个体社会玩耍的发育不但受环境参量如食物、场地等的影响,而且还与个体的年龄、性别、等级、亲缘关系等社群因素紧密相关。未成年个体在玩耍过程中,获得了身体机能的快速发育、完善了生存技能、建立了个体间的友好关系、增强了认识自身及适应周围环境的能力,从而为顺利过渡到成年期和履行自己的职能打好基础,但有时却需要承担玩耍过程中受伤甚至死亡的风险。玩耍作为灵长类社会的一种行为文化,对其研究有助于对人类自身行为进化的不断认识,相信这方面的理论将会得到后来者的不断创新和丰富,也期望这方面的理念及经验能被及时运用到保护繁育等实践活动中。

Polymorphism of competition type and its genetics in Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)

Callosobruchus maculatus has both contest and scramble competition strategies. The currently existing theoretical models using game theory suggest that the contest strategy should be selected for. However, most geographic strains of C. maculatus show scramble competition. We experimentally crossed the representative strains of contest and scramble. We expressed the degree of contest competition by a continuous value named the C-value, which ranges from zero (pure scramble) to unity (pure contest). The competition types expressed in the C-value were genetically additive. Their larval developmental rates were negatively correlated with C-values. Multiple-generation experiments of the mixed strains confirmed that there were no overwhelming advantages of contest over scramble type. Most of the mixed strains remained in the intermediate states. We discuss the results in terms of the resource size necessary for developmental success and developmental speed. Received: April 19, 2001 / Accepted: November 2, 2001

On ballistic parameters of less lethal projectiles influencing the severity of thoracic blunt impacts

The development and safety certification of less lethal projectiles require an understanding of the influence of projectile parameters on projectile–chest interaction and on the resulting terminal effect. Several energy-based criteria have been developed for chest injury assessment. Many studies consider kinetic energy (KE) or energy density as the only projectile parameter influencing terminal effect. In a common KE range (100–160 J), analysis of the firing tests of two 40 mm projectiles of different masses on animal surrogates has been made in order to investigate the severity of the injuries in the thoracic region. Experimental results have shown that KE and calibre are not sufficient to discriminate between the two projectiles as regards their injury potential. Parameters, such as momentum, shape and impedance, influence the projectile–chest interaction and terminal effect. A simplified finite element model of projectile–structure interaction confirms the experimental tendencies. Within the range of ballistic parameters used, it has been demonstrated that maximum thoracic deflection is a useful parameter to predict the skeletal level of injury, and it largely depends on the projectile pre-impact momentum. However, numerical simulations show that these results are merely valid for the experimental conditions used and cannot be generalised. Nevertheless, the transmitted impulse seems to be a more general factor governing the thorax deflection.
