Pollen and gene flow in fragmented habitats

Abstract. Habitat fragmentation affects both plants and pollinators. Habitat fragmentation leads to changes in species richness, population number and size, density, and shape, thus to changes in the spatial arrangement of flowers. These changes influence the amount of food for flower-visiting insects and the quantity and quality of pollinations. Seed set in small populations is often reduced and genetic variation is expected but not always found to be low. The majority of studies show that low flower densities have reduced pollination success and higher inbreeding. Density effects are stronger than size effects. Most studies concluded that species richness in flower-visiting insects is directly related to richness in plant species. However, the consequences of low insect species richness for pollination are not always clear, depending on the studied pollinator-plant relationship. The effects of the presence of simultaneously flowering species are highly dependent on the circumstances and may range from competition to facilitation. Other flowering plant species may play a role as stepping stones or corridor in the connection between populations. In the absence of stepping stones even short distances between populations act as strong barriers for gene flow. We illustrate the present review paper with own data collected for three plant species, rare in The Netherlands: Phyteuma spicatum ssp. nigrum (Campanulaceae), Salvia pratensis (Labiatae) and Scabiosa columbaria (Dipsacaceae). The species differ in their breeding systems and in the assemblage of visitor species. Data are shown on the effects of population size on species richness with consequences for seed set. Effects of flower density and isolation on pollen exchange are given. Since plant reproduction depends on the behaviour of individual insects and not on the overall behaviour of the species, the examples all point to individual insects and extrapolate to effects at the species level.

果蝇nasuta亚群求爱歌的种间识别与进化遗传学研究

果蝇ｎａｓｕｔａ亚群由１４个种、亚种和分类群组成,广泛分布于印度－太平洋区域。本文首次记录了ｎａｓｕｔａ亚群种的求爱歌,测量了脉冲歌时域模式的参数：脉冲串间隔（ＩＢＩ）、脉冲间隔（ＩＰＩ）、脉冲串时间长度（ＰＴＬ）、每个脉冲串的脉冲数（ＰＮ）、脉冲时间长度（ＰＬ）、波动周期时间长度（ＣＬ）。采用计算机声谱分析技术,作出求爱歌信号的三维数字功率谱图,进行频率分析。发现Ｄ．ｐｕｌａｕｎａ和Ｔａｘｏｎ－Ｆ不发出求爱歌声信号,视觉在交配中可能起重要作用。对其余种、亚种和分类群的求爱歌分析表明,ｎａｓｕｔａ亚群种的求爱歌分为脉冲歌和正弦歌。对部分种的正反交Ｆ１求爱歌分析表明,脉冲歌时域参数,如ＩＰＩ平均值为Ｘ染色体连锁或常染色体多基因控制,正弦歌频率偏向母方。根据不同种、亚种和分类群脉冲歌的时域模式构建ｎａｓｕｔａ亚群的系统树,对亚群中不同种、亚种和分类群的亲缘关系进行讨论。     

冰雪灾害对江西九连山常绿阔叶林的影响

以江西九连山国家自然保护区常绿阔叶林为对象,研究林分不同层次优势种受灾程度,分析物种海拔、坡度对受灾程度的影响。结果表明:乔木上层和中层树木以断稍为主,乔木下层树木以断稍和腰折为主,小树和幼树以压弯为主。在平均受损指数MDI(Mean Damage Index)方面,乔木上层米槠MDI值最高,拟赤杨最低; 乔木中层鸭公树MDI值最高,浙江新木姜子最低; 乔木下层米槠MDI值最高,浙江新木姜子最低; 小树米槠MDI值最高,细枝柃最低; 幼树二列叶柃MDI值最高,狗骨柴最低。海拔对不同林分层次树木的部分受损指标有显著影响(P<0.05); 整体上,不同林分层次树木的受损指标在700～760 m海拔生境高于640～700 m海拔生境。不同坡度生境下树木的受损指标均无显著差异(P>0.05)。     

青藏高原蝇科昆虫生物地理初探

对青藏高原蝇科昆虫进行了生物地理学研究.青藏高原已知蝇科9亚科42属574种,以特有类群占优势.其中特有属占11.9%,特有种占66.2%,文中讨论了该地区区系成分的多源性,特有成份的特异性及青藏高原北缘特有属的起源与演化,特有种的狭域分布现象及理论探讨.讨论了该地区与其它地区间隔分布的多样性及高原蝇科昆虫的适应性.分析了青藏高原的隆起与冰期对蝇科昆虫的作用.青藏高原的横空崛起以及第四纪冰期--间冰期的循环往复,导致该地区生境千差万别,使蝇科区系不仅有地域分异,且垂直差异显著.在此期间,北方物种向南入侵,南北成分交互渗透,高山类群适应进化,使许多特有成分在这里被陶冶、孕育,故而造成了该地区蝇科区系的特有性和物种的多样性.     

Regulation of enzymes involved in C4 photosynthesis and the antioxidant metabolism by UV-B radiation in Egeria densa,a submersed aquatic species

Egeria densa, a submersed aquatic species, was exposed to different treatments under UV-B radiation, and the response of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) and NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME) was determined. Exposure to UV-B radiation for 4 h per day over 7–16 days caused an increase in both enzymes, together with an increase in the activity of some isoforms of several enzymes involved in the antioxidant metabolism, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD). The content of chlorophylls and carotenoids was considerably decreased, suggesting that degradation or repression of the synthesis of these molecules may be occurring after UV-B exposure. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were also required for UV-B induction of PEPC and NADP-ME, as the addition of ascorbic acid before UV-B treatment prevented the induction of these enzymes, while salicylic acid was not effective in inducing NADP-ME but increased the expression of the lower molecular mass isoform of PEPC. On the other hand, damage to the photosynthetic machinery may be occurring after exposure to UV-B radiation for 8 per day over 1–2 days, as indicated by a decrease in the levels of Rubisco, PEPC and NADP-ME. Some of the enzymes involved in the antioxidant metabolism, such as CAT and APX, were also sensitive to continuous exposure, evidenced by a decrease in their activity. In this way, in E. densa, several enzymes involved in different metabolic pathways showed a distinct response, depending on the UV-B treatment. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
