淮河流域暖季极端高温干旱复合事件的演变特征及其与气候和植被的关系

使用淮河流域1981年至2020年的149个气象站点的气温和相对湿度数据,分析了流域暖季极端高温干旱复合事件(Compound Drought and Heat Events,CDHEs)的时空演变特征,并通过趋势分析和相关分析法探讨了CDHEs与气候和植被的关系。结果表明:①CDHEs的发生日数在年代际尺度上呈现明显的增加趋势,并且范围扩大,频发区逐渐向淮河流域中西部移动;②在年际尺度上,CDHEs随时间序列呈显著的波动上升趋势,空间分布上以西北部为中心向四周递减。连续CDHEs事件呈年际变化,最大2至4天的连续事件存在波动,2019年达到高峰,并且在流域内零散或成片出现;③在月际尺度上,CDHEs的发生日数在6月最多,其次是5月、7月、9月和8月。淮河流域入汛前的旱情和入汛后的旱涝急转都容易导致CDHEs发生,而且随着月际变化向南移动;④CDHEs对水热条件和大气环流具有特别的敏感性。在850hPa反气旋和500hPa显著高压异常的控制下,高温、低湿、高蒸发和降水少的气候背景有利于淮河地区CDHEs的形成,尤其是在淮河中西部地区。因此,CDHEs的发生与气候变化密切相关;⑤CDHEs与植被生长也存在显著关系。CDHEs与GPP呈显著的负相关,而与NDVI呈显著的正相关,显著地区的土地类型以耕地和城乡、工矿、居民用地为主。GPP和NDVI的不同步可能是因为多种因素的非线性相互作用,而不仅仅是单一因素的影响。此外,对于GPP和NDVI来说,土壤含水量至关重要。总之,本文对淮河流域CDHEs的时空分布特征进行了深入研究,并探讨了其与气候和植被的关系。研究结果可以为该地区的气象灾害防御和生态环境保护提供科学依据和参考。     

Tyrosyl Radicals in Dehaloperoxidase: HOW NATURE DEALS WITH EVOLVING AN OXYGEN-BINDING GLOBIN TO A BIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT PEROXIDASE*

Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) from Amphitrite ornata, having been shown to catalyze the hydrogen peroxide-dependent oxidation of trihalophenols to dihaloquinones, is the first oxygen binding globin that possesses a biologically relevant peroxidase activity. The catalytically competent species in DHP appears to be Compound ES, a reactive intermediate that contains both a ferryl heme and a tyrosyl radical. By simulating the EPR spectra of DHP activated by H₂O₂, Thompson et al. (Thompson, M. K., Franzen, S., Ghiladi, R. A., Reeder, B. J., and Svistunenko, D. A. (2010) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 132, 17501–17510) proposed that two different radicals, depending on the pH, are formed, one located on either Tyr-34 or Tyr-28 and the other on Tyr-38. To provide additional support for these simulation-based assignments and to deduce the role(s) that tyrosyl radicals play in DHP, stopped-flow UV-visible and rapid-freeze-quench EPR spectroscopic methods were employed to study radical formation in DHP when three tyrosine residues, Tyr-28, Tyr-34, and Tyr-38, were replaced either individually or in combination with phenylalanines. The results indicate that radicals form on all three tyrosines in DHP. Evidence for the formation of DHP Compound I in several tyrosine mutants was obtained. Variants that formed Compound I showed an increase in the catalytic rate for substrate oxidation but also an increase in heme bleaching, suggesting that the tyrosines are necessary for protecting the enzyme from oxidizing itself. This protective role of tyrosines is likely an evolutionary adaptation allowing DHP to avoid self-inflicted damage in the oxidative environment.

Relationships between pupil working range and habitat luminance in flies and butterflies

The luminance range over which the pupil mechanism operates was measured with pupil reflectometry in 11 species of butterflies and 13 species of dipteran flies. The different species were selected to be as different as possible regarding the range of ambient luminances in which they are active. Habitat luminance ranges were also measured and correlated to luminances in the experimental situation. The pupil mechanism in butterflies operates in the centre of the luminance range in which the different species are active. Three distinct groups of butterflies with pupil sensitivities matched to their specific types of activity pattern were identified: species active only in direct sunlight, species active also in shaded places and species extending their activity into dawn and dusk. Quite differently, the pupil mechanisms of dipteran flies operate in the upper end of the ambient luminances, and in some species well above the luminances normally encountered by the animal. All fly pupils start to close roughly at the same luminance, irrespective of the luminances in which the species are active. The results suggest that the most important role for the pupil mechanism in many of the butterfly species is to maximize acuity over a wide range of luminances, whereas in flies it is to avoid saturation of transduction units and thereby maximize the photoreceptor's signal-to-noise ratio at high light intensities.

Possible Mechanism of Dantrolene Stabilization of Cultured Neuroblastoma Cell Plasma Membranes

Abstract: Some reports have suggested that dantrolene interacts directly with the membrane bilayer. We investigated effects of dantrolene on changes in membrane properties induced by compound 48/80 (C48/80), a membrane stimulator. The addition of C48/80 for 1 min elicited a rapid, dose-dependent Ca²⁺ influx, which was reduced to 14% by the absence of external Ca²⁺. Dantrolene inhibited the C48/80-induced increase in Ca²⁺ permeability of plasma membranes in a concentration-dependent manner (0.33–10 µ M , IC₅₀ value was 5 µ M ). We next examined C48/80-induced changes in structural and dynamic membrane properties by electron spin resonance (ESR). The ratio h ₀/ h ₋₁ was determined to evaluate membrane fluidity. C48/80 increased the membrane fluidity in a concentration-dependent manner (0.1–0.56 mg/ml). Dantrolene (10 µ M ) itself did not change the membrane fluidity, but it significantly reduced the C48/80-induced increase in membrane fluidity (0.56 mg/ml). Moreover, the C48/80-induced increase in fluidity was dependent on extracellular Ca²⁺. We conclude that dantrolene protects neuroblastoma cell plasma membrane from C48/80-induced membrane perturbation, which causes Ca²⁺ influx and an increase in membrane fluidity. These findings strongly suggest that dantrolene directly stabilizes the neuronal plasma membrane.     

Structural organization of male-specific visual neurons in calliphorid optic lobes

Summary The superiority of male flies over female flies in locating and intercepting small rapidly moving targets has been ascribed to differences in their visual systems. In males, this sexual dimorphism is externally expressed by an area of high visual acuity called the acute zone. Selective cobalt uptake reveals 12 types of male-specific visual interneurons in the male lobula, the axons of which terminate in neuropil supplying premotor descending neurons to neck and flight motor circuits. The dendritic fields of the individual male-specific neurons can be extrapolated out into visual space to demonstrate that each is assigned a discrete area of the visual panorama. The dendritic fields of 10 of the 12 male-specific neurons subtend areas of the retina associated with the male acute zone. The functional significance of male-specific neurons is discussed with respect to their putative receptive field and a model circuit for target location by male flies.
