蜡蝉科(半翅目：头喙亚目)昆虫起源及分布格局研究

【目的】探究蜡蝉科及其各亚科的分布格局与起源。【方法】根据世界动物地理分区,以搜集到的标本和权威文献记录为依据,建立蜡蝉科物种及地理分布数据库,采用Arc-GIS软件的地理信息处理功能对地理分布数据库进行运算,得到蜡蝉科物种地理分布图,用区系相似系数分析区域间物种的相似性。【结果】(1)蜡蝉科在新热带区分布的种类最多,达290种,其次是东洋区、非洲区和澳洲区,在新北区和古北区较少;(2)新热带区分布的属和特有属最多,非洲区次之,东洋区的特有属比例小于前2个大区,澳洲区分布属较少,但特有属比例很高,古北区分布的特有属明显较少,新北区无特有属分布;(3)新北区和新热带区蜡蝉科物种的相似系数为4.38,古北区与东洋区的相似系数为2.29,其他各区之间的相似系数都较低。蜡蝉科中Lyncidinae、Phenacinae、Poiocerinae和Strongylodematinae 4个亚科均起源于新世界;Aphaeninae、Xosopharinae和Zanninae 3个亚科起源于旧世界;Amyclinae、Dichopterinae、Enchophorinae和Fulgorinae 4个亚科可能分别起源于新世界和旧世界。【结论】各大区间蜡蝉科种类相似性系数高低与该科的地质演化历史密切相关。蜡蝉科可能起源于新世界和旧世界,起源时间可能在白垩纪早期,距今约135 Ma。     

重金属污染土壤不同修复处理后的土壤动物群落结构特征

为了探讨重金属污染过的土壤经修复后其土壤生态的变化情况,于2014.12—2015.12期间,采用干漏斗法针对经过不同修复处理后的土壤动物群落结构进行追踪研究。研究结果表明:由于污染抑制了某些土壤动物的生存,导致土壤动物的个体数与类群数锐减;而杜绝污染水源后,修复植物根系土壤动物群类群数与个体数增加,并且蜱螨目、弹尾目和线虫纲等常见的土壤动物类群修复效果明显。说明被重金属污染过的土壤在断绝污染水源后,人工种植修复植物不仅可以改善土壤物理性质,而且对根系土壤动物也有修复作用。     

Soil fauna across Central European sandstone ravines with temperature inversion: From cool and shady to dry and hot places

Sandstone massifs with their deep ravines or gorges offer the instructive opportunity to study the response of organisms to steep environmental gradients. In 2008–2010, many groups of soil fauna were studied along transects across three ravines in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (north-western Czech Republic), a part of the Elbe Sandstone Massif. Each transect included five sampling positions: two opposite edges, two opposite mid-slope positions, and the ravine bottom. The ravines had a specific microclimate characterized by temperature inversion. In general, the cooler and more humid ravine bottoms had also less acid soil with lower carbon content but enriched by litter of deciduous trees and herbs. The other transect positions were characterized by spruce (mid-slopes) and pine (edges) stands with mor humus, exposed to drought in the upper parts. The soil animal communities (identified to species level) differed substantially in dependence on their position along the transects. Ravine bottoms hosted a diverse soil fauna, including a rich macrofauna. The thick duff layer of acid soils on the slopes and edges hosted a poorer fauna but supported high densities of important decomposers such as enchytraeids, oribatid mites and microbivorous nematodes. In general, these were higher on the slopes, presumably due to the drought exposure of the edges. Vertical position in the ravine and soil pH were the most important factors explaining community composition. This confirmed that the area's high geomorphological diversity, leading to steep microclimatic gradients and heterogenous soil conditions, is a major cause of its high biodiversity. A shift in community structure in the lower parts of the ravines, observed after the first half of the study period, was possibly caused by summer flash floods. An increased frequency and severity of dry spells and flash floods due to heavy rains, predicted by relevant climate warming scenarios, will probably have an detrimental effect on the ravines'soil fauna.     

Flowering phenology of a herbaceous species (Poa annua) is regulated by soil Collembola

The role of soil organisms as possible driver of flowering has never been investigated. We hypothesized that Collembola (microarthropods) will change plant allocation to reproductive modes by changing soil nutrient availability. Individual seedlings of Poa annua were planted in microcosms, in the presence or absence of Collembola. Collembola affected biotic (fungal biomass) and abiotic ($\text{N}-{{\text{NO}}_3}^{-}$, P₂O₅) soil properties and some morphological (number of leaves, root biomass) and chemical (C:N, K, Mg, N) traits of P. annua. As a result, flowering of P. annua was promoted by the presence of Collembola. This provides experimental evidence that soil microarthropods can affect the reproduction strategy and phenology of a plant.     

Soil microarthropods are only weakly impacted after 13 years of repeated drought treatment in wet and dry heathland soils

Studies of biological responses in the terrestrial environment to rapid changes in climate have mostly been concerned with aboveground biota, whereas less is known of belowground organisms. The present study focuses on mites and springtails of heathland ecosystems and how the microarthropod community has responded to simulated climate change in a long-term field experiment. Increased temperature and repeated drought was applied for 13 years to field plots located in Wales, The Netherlands and Denmark representing sites of contrasting climatic conditions with respect to precipitation and temperature. This approach provided an opportunity to study biological responses on a local (within sites) and regional scale. Warming treatments increasing night time temperature (0.3–1 °C higher than ambient at 5 cm soil depth) had no detectable effects on the microarthropod communities. Increased intensity and frequency of drought had only weak persistent effects on springtail species composition, but practically no effect on major mite groups (Oribatida, Prostigmata or Mesostigmata) suggesting that ecosystem functions of microarthropods may only be transiently impacted by repeated spring or summer drought.     

塔里木河鱼类区系变化及土著鱼类保护问题

塔里木河鱼类区系从６０年代前的１５种增加到８０年代的４１种；区系成份增加河平原复合体，早第三纪复合体，热带平原复合体，北方平原复合体的成份。塔河土著鱼类分布区缩小，数量减少，如新疆大头鱼已到濒危状态。影响塔河鱼类正常生长、增殖的主要因素是水利工程建筑，垦荒毁林，过度捕捞，不合理移植。文章还提出了保护塔河土著鱼类的措施。

Are hedgerows effective corridors between fragments of woodland habitat? An evidence-based approach

Anthropogenic modification of the countryside has resulted in much of the landscape consisting of fragments of once continuous habitat. Increasing habitat connectivity at the landscape-scale has a vital role to play in the conservation of species restricted to such remnant patches, especially as species may attempt to track zones of habitat that satisfy their niche requirements as the climate changes. Conservation policies and management strategies frequently advocate corridor creation as one approach to restore connectivity and to facilitate species movements through the landscape. Here we examine the utility of hedgerows as corridors between woodland habitat patches using rigorous systematic review methodology. Systematic searching yielded 26 studies which satisfied the review inclusion criteria. The empirical evidence currently available is insufficient to evaluate the effectiveness of hedgerow corridors as a conservation tool to promote the population viability of woodland fauna. However, the studies did provide anecdotal evidence of positive local population effects and indicated that some species use hedgerows as movement conduits. More replicated and controlled field investigations or long-term monitoring are required in order to allow practitioners and policy makers to make better informed decisions about hedgerow corridor creation and preservation. The benefits of such corridors in regard to increasing habitat connectivity remain equivocal, and the role of corridors in mitigating the effects of climate change at the landscape-scale is even less well understood.
