1. The Qilian Mountains represent one of the key livestock‐raising grasslands in China. The two main herbivore species raised in this area – yaks and sheep – are of critical economical value. Grasshoppers compete with these animals for available nutrients, creating multifaceted relationships between livestock, grasshoppers and plants. A clear understanding of such relationships is lacking and is urgently needed to guide conservation efforts. 2. This study aims to document the effects of yak and sheep grazing on grasshopper assemblages and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of such effects. 3. It is shown here that yaks and sheep impact grasshopper assemblages differently. Grasshopper assemblages exhibited lower density, biodiversity, richness, and evenness of distribution in yak‐grazed pastures than in grazing‐free grasslands. Sheep‐grazed pastures exhibited a dramatically divergent picture, with elevated density, biodiversity and richness, and a slightly decreased evenness of distribution. Grasshoppers were generally larger in grazed pastures than in grazing‐free grasslands, especially in yak‐grazed plots. 4. The present study suggests that differences between yak and sheep pastures in plant assemblage structure and plant traits are probably the underlying forces driving the differences in grasshopper assemblage structure and grasshopper traits, respectively. 5. The study shows that the grasshopper habitat indicator species differ between yak and sheep pastures, raising the possibility that such indicators can be used to monitor grassland usage and degradation in the Qilian Mountains. 6. These results provide novel insights into the dynamic interactions of common domesticated herbivore species, grasshoppers and plants in Qilian Mountains, which augment current knowledge and may ultimately lead to better conservation practices. 相似文献

Whole genome sequences (WGS) greatly increase our ability to precisely infer population genetic parameters, demographic processes, and selection signatures. However, WGS may still be not affordable for a representative number of individuals/populations. In this context, our goal was to assess the efficiency of several SNP genotyping strategies by testing their ability to accurately estimate parameters describing neutral diversity and to detect signatures of selection. We analysed 110 WGS at 12× coverage for four different species, i.e., sheep, goats and their wild counterparts. From these data we generated 946 data sets corresponding to random panels of 1K to 5M variants, commercial SNP chips and exome capture, for sample sizes of five to 48 individuals. We also extracted low‐coverage genome resequencing of 1×, 2× and 5× by randomly subsampling reads from the 12× resequencing data. Globally, 5K to 10K random variants were enough for an accurate estimation of genome diversity. Conversely, commercial panels and exome capture displayed strong ascertainment biases. Besides the characterization of neutral diversity, the detection of the signature of selection and the accurate estimation of linkage disequilibrium (LD) required high‐density panels of at least 1M variants. Finally, genotype likelihoods increased the quality of variant calling from low coverage resequencing but proportions of incorrect genotypes remained substantial, especially for heterozygote sites. Whole genome resequencing coverage of at least 5× appeared to be necessary for accurate assessment of genomic variations. These results have implications for studies seeking to deploy low‐density SNP collections or genome scans across genetically diverse populations/species showing similar genetic characteristics and patterns of LD decay for a wide variety of purposes. 相似文献

A total of 73 blood samples (56 from smokers and 17 from nonsmokers) were collected to determine the concentrations of selected
heavy metal in the whole blood of smokers and nonsmokers living in and around the city of Amman, Jordan. Analysis of heavy
metals in the whole blood samples of various groups took in consideration the number of cigarettes smoked per day. The analysis
of blood samples was carried out using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. This study aimed to evaluate
the blood metal levels in smokers and nonsmokers and to assess the influence of smoking cigarettes on blood metal levels.
The results were compared with those from a control group. The results indicated that the average concentrations of cadmium
(Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and selenium (Se) were 0.0313, 0.344, 2.328, 3.214, and 0.332 mg/L, respectively.
Statistical analysis of results indicated that these average concentrations were significantly higher compared with the average
concentrations in nonsmokers (P < 0.05). Moreover, the correlations between blood metal and other blood metal levels in smokers, the correlations between
blood metal and other blood metal levels in nonsmokers, and the correlations between blood metal concentration in smokers
and its concentration in nonsmokers were calculated. The standard reference material (blood serum National Institute of Standards
and Technology 1598) and the quality control were used to validate the reliability of the method used for the estimation of
heavy metals in blood samples. Results revealed that there was an agreement between the certified values and the measured
values. 相似文献

An on-line technique, based on measuring the increase in pressure due to CO2 release in a closed air-tight reactor, was used to evaluate the fermentation of lactate by propionibacteria. The method was applied to batch cultures of Propionibacterium shermanii grown in yeast extract/sodium lactate medium containing lactate as a carbon source under micro-aerophilic conditions. Gas pressure evolution was compared both with substrate consumption and metabolites production and with acidification and growth. Linear relationships were found between gas pressure variation, lactate consumption and propionate and acetate production. The technique also enabled the evaluation of total CO2 produced, by taking account of pressure, oxygen and pH measurements. These results tend to show that this simple and rapid method could be useful to monitor propionic acid bacteria growth. 相似文献

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients contains a 17 kDa glycoproteic factor with gliotoxic properties in vitro. In order to study the physiopathological role of this gliotoxic factor in vivo, we have injected a partially purified preparation and appropriate controls in rat CSF and investigated whether it induces cell death in the rat central nervous system (CNS), 10 days and 3 months after injection. We used the TUNEL assay in association with specific immunohistochemistry to characterize dying cells in the gliotoxic factor- treated rat CNS. At 10 days post-injection, TUNEL-positive cells were observed in the whole rat CNS. They were particularly numerous in the choroid plexus, ependymal epithelium, cerebral white matter, cerebral vascular endothelium, arachnoid spaces and less frequent in the gray matter of brain and spinal cord. The predominant type of TUNEL-positive cells observed at 10 days post-injection was astrocytes, in white matter, gray matter, occasionnally around damaged endothelial cells in periventricular and subpial spaces. Other TUNEL-positive cells were identified as oligodendrocytes by an oligodendrocyte specific RIP immunostaining, at 10 days post-treatment with the gliotoxic factor. Interestingly, demyelination and death of oligodendrocytes were more important 3 months post-injection: TUNEL-RIP positive oligodendrocytes were generally associated with multifocal demyelinating areas. Clearly, the 17 kDa gliotoxic factor injection in rat CSF triggers demyelination and may be used as a new animal model for MS. Also, our results suggest a new possible scenario for MS pathogenesis: death of oligodendrocytes and astrocytes, stimulated by the MS gliotoxic factor causes the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the demyelinating cascade. 相似文献
