Changes in Nothofagus pumilio forest biodiversity during the forest management cycle. 2. Birds

Human activities, such as logging, modify the forest structure and the microenvironments of the original Nothofagus forests. The aims of this work were to evaluate changes in the diversity and relative abundance of birds and to analyze their trophic relationships with insect and plant communities along the Nothofagus pumilio forest management cycle. Data was collected using a point sampling method along transects located in different forest structures during the summer season, by direct (sight) and indirect (hearing) recognition following sunrise. Bird diversity and abundance significantly varied along the forest management cycle. Seven new species appeared after harvest, but the total number did not vary by the end of the forest management cycle, and there was no significant loss of species. Bird abundance was directly related to the insect abundance and plant biomass. Relationship between groups (lower plants, monocotyledons and dicotyledonous) is also discussed. Major studies in bird ecology are necessary to develop new silvicultural alternatives based on the more sensitive species to harvest. Forest management strategies and mitigation alternatives must be incorporated into forest planning in order to maintain the original structure of bird communities and the equilibrium with other forest species.

Kupffer cell-derived prostaglandin E2 is involved in regulation of lipid synthesis in rat liver tissue

Our recent studies suggest that Kupffer cells play a role in the physiological regulation of lipid metabolism of the adjacent hepatocytes. In the present study, we have tested the hypothesis that inhibition of Kupffer cells decreases prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) release inside liver tissue, a phenomenon contributing to lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. PGE(2) secretion as well as lipid synthesis were assessed in precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) from rats previously treated with Kupffer cell inhibitors (GdCl(3) 10 mg kg(-1) body wt, i.v. injection and glycine 5% in diet). In addition, lipid synthesis was assessed in primary rat hepatocytes cultured in the absence or presence of PGE(2) (0.01, 1 and 10 microM). Inhibition of Kupffer cell activity by GdCl(3) decreases PGE(2) secretion by PCLS and resulted in a higher lipid synthesis. Since incubation with PGE(2) over 48 h decreases lipid synthesis from acetate in cultured hepatocytes, we propose that the lower PGE(2) secretion linked to Kupffer cell inhibition, partly explains a higher rate of synthesis of lipids with a subsequent accumulation in liver tissue, as previously shown in fasted rats.     

Meat-eating by early hominids at the FLK 22Zinjanthropussite, Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania): an experimental approach using cut-mark data

The meat-eating behavior of Plio-Pleistocene hominids, responsible for the bone accumulations at the earliest archaeological sites, is still a hotly-debated issue in paleoanthropology. In particular, meat-eating and bone marrow consumption are often presented as either complementary or opposing strategies of carcass exploitation. The presence of cut marks on fossil archeofauna is a potential source of information that has not been consistently used as evidence of carcass consumption by hominids. Some authors interpret cut marks as the result of hominids manipulating meat-bearing bones, while others argue that they can also be the result of hominids extracting marginal scraps of carcass flesh that have survived carnivores’ initial consumption. In this study, a referential framework concerning the interpretation of cut marks is presented, based on a set of experiments conducted by the author. It is suggested, according to these experiments and data drawn from the FLK “Zinj” site, that hominids processed meat-bearing bones (on which flesh was abundant) rather than defleshed carcasses from felid kills.     

郁金香切花瓶插期的衰老与膜脂过氧化的关系

郁金香鲜切花在瓶插过程中,叶片可溶性蛋白质含量从瓶插开始即开始下降,花瓣在瓶插初期略有上升,第３天以后随花朵的开放迅速下降。叶片、花瓣的可溶性蛋白质含量的下降与细胞膜相对透性的增加呈负相关,与ＭＤＡ含量的增加呈负相关;而细胞膜相对透性的增加与ＭＤＡ含量的增加呈正相关。同时,饱和脂肪酸所占百分比增加,不饱和脂肪酸含量下降。ＩＵＦＡ的下降与ＭＤＡ含量的增加呈负相关。在整个瓶插过程中,花瓣的可溶性蛋白质     

Root nitrogen concentration of sorghum above 2% produces least Striga hermonthica seed stimulation

A series of pot and laboratory experiments was carried out to assess the effects of N status of sorghum roots and timing of N application (as NH₄NO₃) on the germination of Striga hermonthica seeds. Root N concentrations varied from 10 to 26 mg N g^?1. The cut root and the root exudates technique used in assaying S. hermonthica seed germination gave similar results. However, the cut root technique was easier to handle and more discriminating at low germination levels. S. hermonthica seed germination per unit sorghum root mass followed a broken‐stick model. It decreased with increasing root N concentrations, reaching lowest levels at a root N concentration of 19.5 mg N g^?1, after which no further reduction occurred. It was not possible to reduce S. hermonthica seed germination to a zero level. Timing of N application influenced the time a higher N concentration is reached, not the S. hermonthica seed germination. Both timing and rate of N application are important in maintaining root N concentrations above 19.5 mg N g^?1, thereby potentially reducing S. hermonthica germination in the field. Translation of results to reductions in infection levels and yield losses is hampered by density‐dependent relations after the S. hermonthica germination stage.

Insights into the effect of detergents on the full-length rhomboid protease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its cytosolic domain

Rhomboids comprise a family of intramembrane serine proteases that catalyze the cleavage of transmembrane segments within the lipid membrane to achieve a wide range of biological functions. A subset of bacterial rhomboids possesses an N-terminal cytosolic domain that appears to enhance proteolytic activity via an unknown mechanism. Structural analysis of a full-length rhomboid would provide new insights into this mechanism, an objective that solution NMR has the potential to realize. For this purpose we purified the rhomboid from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a range of membrane-mimetic media, evaluated its functional status in vitro and investigated the NMR spectroscopic properties of these samples. In general, NMR signals could only be observed from the cytosolic domain, and only in detergents that did not support rhomboid activity. In contrast, media that supported rhomboid function did not show these resonances, suggesting an association between the cytosolic domain and the protein-detergent complex. Investigations into the ability of the isolated cytosolic domain to bind detergent micelles revealed a denaturing interaction, whereas no interaction occurred with micelles that supported rhomboid activity. The cytosolic domain also did not show any tendency to interact with lipid bilayers found in small bicelles or vesicles made from Escherichia coli phospholipid extracts. Based on these data we propose that the cytosolic domain does not interact with the lipid membrane, but instead enhances rhomboid activity through interactions with some other part of the rhomboid, such as the catalytic core domain.
