Influence of variable photoperiods on the feeding activity and fecundity of<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Galendromus occidentalis</Emphasis> (Nesbitt) (Acari: Phytoseiidae) under laboratory conditions

The influence of variable photoperiods on the feeding activity and fecundity of Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt) was studied on a diet of Tetranychus urticae Koch eggs. Starved G. occidentalis females were fed T. urticae eggs under ten 24-h light:dark regimes. Half of the tests started during photophase and the other half during scotophase. T. urticae eggs that were consumed and G. occidentalis eggs that were laid were counted at the end of each photophase and scotophase in a 24 h period. In general, G. occidentalis consumed more T. urticae eggs per h in the first phase of the experiment than in the second, regardless of whether the lights were on or off. In contrast to egg consumption, there were no statistical differences in the mean daily fecundity at the end of the 24-h periods. However, when the experiment was started during photophase, higher fecundity/h was encountered during scotophase than during the photophase. As a result, egg consumption rates were affected by photoperiods in both phases of the experiments. Logistic regression analysis revealed that variable photoperiods and egg consumption did not influence the fecundity of G. occidentalis.     

Population demography and fecundity do not decline with habitat fragmentation in the rainforest tree Macadamia integrifolia (Proteaceae)

Habitat fragmentation is often associated with reduced levels of fitness and local extinction of plant species, and consequently poses a major threat to the persistence of species worldwide. The majority of demography-based fragmentation studies to date have focussed primarily on fragmentation impacts on individual plant fecundity. Here we investigate the impact of habitat fragmentation on the demography (plant height classes and density) and key population dynamic processes for the rainforest tree species Macadamia integrifolia (Proteaceae). Raceme and fruit production and seedling emergence across fragmented sites exceeded that in more intact sites with no apparent difference in short-term mortality rates. Fecundity of flowering trees did not appear to be affected by fragmentation. Instead, overall reproductive output in fragmented sites was enhanced relative to undisturbed sites due to a higher proportion of reproductively active individuals. The probability of flowering and fruiting was negatively correlated with the projected foliage cover (PFC) surrounding individual trees, and average PFC was significantly lower in small and medium fragments, suggesting light availability as a potential contributor to the trends observed here.This study demonstrates that the short-term effects of habitat fragmentation on population viability may not necessarily be detrimental for some species, and highlights the importance of assessing not only the fecundity of flowering individuals but also the proportion of individuals reproducing within fragments.     

斯氏线虫S.carpocapsae BJ对森林革蜱产卵量及其侵入部位的研究

用线虫浓度为8000 IJ/ml的斯氏线虫S.carpocapsae BJ品系侵染森林革蜱饱血雌蜱。实验期间统计饱血雌蜱的产卵量,用解剖镜观察线虫进入蜱体内的部位。结果表明,经线虫侵染后,平均每只蜱的产卵量为(327.0±11.0)个,而对照中每只蜱的产卵量为(4420.6±282.6)个;经线虫侵染后饱血雌蜱的死亡率高达90%。线虫的侵染使雌蜱的产卵量显著减少。线虫主要从蜱的口器、肛门、气门和生殖孔及节间膜处入侵。     

BMPR-IB基因作为绵羊多胎性能候选基因的研究

利用BMPR-IB基因作为湖羊、小尾寒羊及中国美利奴(新疆型)多胎类型多胎性能候选基因,采用PCR-RFLP方法和聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析该基因在湖羊、小尾寒羊和中国美利奴(新疆型)多胎类型中的多态性,并与其产羔数进行相关性分析,结果3种羊在BMPR-IB基因编码序列746碱基处均检出与BooroolaMerino相同的A→G突变,可分为3种基因型(BB型、B 型和 型)。湖羊中几乎全部为BB基因型;小尾寒羊中以BB和B 基因型为主;中国美利奴(新疆型)多胎类型中以B 基因型为主;BMPR-IB基因与产羔数显著相关,是上述3种羊的多胎主效基因。

Effect of cultivation and within-field differences in soil conditions on feral Helianthus annuus growth in ridge-tillage maize

Differences in weed population dynamics with respect to within-field heterogeneity are not well documented despite increasing interest in site-specific management of agro-ecosystems. The focus of this study was to determine if mechanical weed management (cultivation) and/or soil factors help to explain observed within-field distributions of feral common sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The ridges and furrows created by the ridge–tillage system adds additional microsites to existing spatial heterogeneity for soil characteristics such as soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration. Experimental areas were selected on the basis of naturally high or low SOC concentration. Cultivation resulted in 100% mortality of H. annuus seedlings growing in the middle of furrows. Cultivation of pre-emergence herbicide treated and no-herbicide ridges resulted in small but statistically significant ( = 0.05) reductions in seedling survival. No differences were detected in H. annuus canopy height, stem diameter, stem length, or vegetative biomass between high and low SOC environments. Neither total reproductive biomass (P = 0.49) nor the biomass of flowers near physiological maturity (an estimate of fecundity; P = 0.59) were affected by SOC environment. Late season H. annuus lodging was observed to reduce reproductive biomass. Juvenile plants that survived mechanical weed control efforts grew and produced reproductive biomass similarly across SOC environments. The lack of difference in vegetative and reproductive characteristics between high and low SOC environments suggests that SOC (or the edaphic conditions associated with greater or lesser SOC level) was not critical in contributing to the observed distribution of H. annuus from juvenile to flowering stages of growth within well-fertilized, irrigated agricultural habitats.     

绵羊BMPR-IB基因作为多胎性能的候选基因在肉用多胎品种选育中的应用研究

以中国美利奴多胎细毛羊和南非肉用细毛羊为亲本，以BMPR-IB基因作为多胎性能的候选基因，进行多胎肉用品种的选育。通过对其后代多胎基因型检测分析表明：多胎这一性状的选择，符合孟德尔遗传规律，从而验证其多胎性状由一对多胎基因(FecB)控制。通过BMPR-IB基因分子标记辅助选择，多胎性状的选择仅需3个世代(3～6年)的时间就可以达到要求，对于肉用这一性状的选择，还有待于进一步选配选育。
