河北省野生大豆种群若干数量性状结构特征

 分析了我国河北省野生大豆天然种群几个重要数量性状的群体结构特征及其地理生态分布。结果显示：平均种群内变异系数大小顺序依次为：百粒重(46％)>脂肪含量(17％)>开花期(10.3％)>蛋白质含量(4.7％)。种群平均开花期与纬度有相关性,而百粒重、脂肪和蛋白质含量分布与纬度没有相关,与种群的生态和遗传背景有关。种群内每个数量性状分布都存在一个优势区段。种群内数量性状存在因基因频率积累程度的不同而导致表型差异较大的遗传型个体。虽然同一个居群长期受到相同光周期诱导,但是种群不是有单一相近的开花期,存在着开花光周期反应不同的基因型。地理种群结构相似性分析表明：河北省天然野生大豆种群结构相似性与地理生态有密切相关性,存在地理生态群。

西双版纳勐宋轮歇演替区鸟类多样性及食果鸟研究

结合退耕还林、生态保护和山区经济持续发展的需要,在西双版纳勐宋轮歇休闲自然演替林地、传统保护使林地和原始自然林地等3类8种生境中,采用样方法并辅以挂网捕鸟法,研究了鸟类的多样性、食果鸟类及其与森林动态的关系。结果表明：①随着轮歇休闲时间递增和植被层次增加,鸟类多样性增加,鸟类群落逐渐复杂化;②鸟类多样性H、Hmax和J等参数变化情况在干季和雨季类似;③食果传播植物种子的鸟类沟通了各林地之间的联系,它们的活动对植被的演替和扩展至关重要。讨论分析认为,鸟类多样性与生境植被结构相互作用,协同发展;在退耕还林工作中要重视食果类及其生态功能的作用,注意保护原始森林和鸟类物种,利用和促进食果鸟类的自然生态功能。     

Restoration of Wetlands from Abandoned Rice Fields for Nutrient Removal, and Biological Community and Landscape Diversity

A number of experimental freshwater wetlands (150 m long × 75 m wide) with different ages since they were abandoned as rice fields, were used to analyze the prospects of multipurpose wetland restoration for such degraded areas. Nitrogen and phosphorus removal rate of the wetlands were determined monthly during the flooding season to estimate their efficiency as filters to remove nutrients from agricultural sewage. The number of wetland birds was recorded regularly to identify their habitat preferences. Both the temporal dynamics and changes in the spatial pattern of land use cover during the last 20 years were determined from aerial photographs and field analysis. All the wetlands appeared to be very efficient in the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus exported from rice fields. Usually 50–98% of the nitrogen and less than 50% of the soluble phosphorus were removed by the wetlands at any stage of restoration. Wetland birds preferred wetlands with intermediate plant cover for resting and sleeping activities better than rice fields and either very open wetlands or very dense ones with tall vegetation. Apart from the improvement in water quality and the restoration of natural habitats, restoration of wetland belts around lagoons will increase spatial heterogeneity and diversity of the landscape.     

Distribution, abundance and niche breadth of birds: scale matters

We used local habitat niche breadth, local abundance and body size of non-passerine afrotropical birds in Tsavo East National Park (Kenya) to predict species distributional ranges in Kenya and across Africa. Univariate analysis revealed a significant positive correlation between local abundance and distribution only on the scale of Kenya. Performing a multiple regression analysis, local abundance, local habitat niche breadth and body size explained a significant part of the variance in bird distribution, again only on the Kenyan scale. From these results, we speculate that on continental scales distributions may be more influenced by macroclimatic conditions and historical factors, whereas distributions on regional scales are predominantly influenced by ecological factors.

A mousebird (Aves: Coliiformes) from the Eocene of England

Summary The first fossil mousebird (Aves, Coliiformes) known from the Eocene of England is described. This taxon,Eocolius walkeri gen. n. sp. n., is assigned to the order Coliiformes (mousebirds) on the basis of a character of the proximal ulna (large cotyla dorsalis). The degree of similarity between the preserved elements ofEocolius and those of the other known fossil and Recent taxa further support this conclusion. At present, this new taxon is considered to occupy an unresolved position near to the base of the coliiform ingroup; the phylogenetic position ofEocolius cannot be resolved further owing to a lack of preservation of diagnostic characters.

Ein Mausvogel (Aves: Coliiformes) aus dem Eozän von England

Zusammenfassung Der erste fossile Mausvogel (Aves: Coliiformes) aus dem Eozän von England wird beschrieben. Dieses Taxon,Eocolius walkeri gen. n. sp. n., wird aufgrund von Merkmalen der proximalen Ulna (grosse Cotyla dorsalis) in die Ordnung Coliiformes gestellt. Darüber hinaus stützt der Grad der Üebereinstimmung zwischen den erhaltenen Skelettelementen vonEocolius und den anderen bekannten fossilen und rezenten Taxa diese Zuordnung. Zur Zeit nimmt dieses neue Taxon eine nicht näher aufgelöste Stellung an der Basis der Coliiformes ein. Das Fehlen diagnostischer Merkmale lässt keine sichere Zuordnung vonEocolius zu den ausgestorbenen Sandcoleidae oder den rezenten Coliidae zu.

     

英国惠普斯耐德獐的育幼行为

1993年5-8月在英国惠普斯耐德野生动物园半自然条件下研究了獐（）的单亲育幼行为。描述了母幼獐建立关系,母獐的探访和育幼行为,授幼行为,舔犊行为以及母幼间距离等。研究结果表明,母獐昼夜间仅探访幼兽4-5次。初生獐寻找乳头时往往寻错位置,找向母獐的前胸和颈区。在幼獐出生后的早期,哺乳行为的启动是由母獐启动的,但幼獐一周龄后即为启动者。平均哺乳时段为48.2±10.2s.母獐的舔犊行为常与哺乳同时发生,舔犊的位置最常见于幼獐的头部（62.7%）,其次是肛殖区（13.9%）,再是背部（8.4%）,肋部（7.2%）,胸部（5.6%）和颈部（2.1%）。此外,还讨论了母兽对不同性别的幼獐的投资的差异及其生物学意义。
