Fishes of the Irrawaddy River: Diversity and conservation

1. Few conservation studies have examined fish communities in entire drainage basins, especially in developing regions such as Southeast Asia, one of the most diverse biomes globally. The aim of this study was to establish conservation projections for the whole of the Irrawaddy River system, based on fish diversity patterns, human impact, and environmental change.
2. The Irrawaddy River is one of the five largest rivers in Southeast Asia. Although it has very high diversity of fish species and species endemism, our understanding of resident fish status remains poor.
3. Based on 1,726 field survey and 1,056 database records, 470 fish species and their distribution patterns (i.e. alpha, beta, threatened species, and endemic species diversities) in sub-basins of the Irrawaddy drainage were identified. Canonical correspondence analysis of diversity and environmental patterns indicated that climatic factors had the largest effect on diversity, compatible with the species–energy theory.
4. Fish conservation priorities of sub-basins were evaluated based on diversity patterns and human impact. The delta and Manipur basin regions were highlighted as areas of focus for future fish diversity conservation, and the importance of connectivity in the Irrawaddy main stem was demonstrated.
5. The results of this study will be valuable for future management of the Irrawaddy basin and as a reference for other river basins when implementing protection strategies for fish diversity. This study also advocates the need for systematic investigations across entire drainage basins and further detailed studies on the ecological conditions of poorly studied river systems.

外源稀土和磷素在土柱中的相互作用

Rare earth elements (REEs) increasingly used in agriculture as an amendment for crop growth may help to lessen environmental losses of phosphorus (P) from heavily fertilized soils. The vertical transport characteristics of P and REEs, lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), samarium (Sm), and cerium (Ce), were investigated with addition of exogenous REEs at various doses to packed soil columns (20 cm deep). Vertical transfers of REEs and P were relatively small, with transport depths less than 6 cm for most REEs and P. Export of applied REEs in leachate accounted for less that 5% of inputs. The addition of Ce, Nd and Sm to soil columns significantly decreased concentrations of extractable soil P up to a depth of 4 cm, with soil P concentrations unaffected at depths > 4 cm. In general, REEs had little effect on the vertical leaching of P in packed soil columns.     

微型蒸发器测量精度的影响因素试验

为优化微型蒸发器（MLS）的使用方式及提高测量精度,在15 d不更换筒内土体的情况下,采用田间试验的方法对影响其测量精度的多种因素进行了研究。结果表明：各处理精度均较高,最高达97.40%;内筒打孔与否对测量精度无显著影响;套筒打孔的处理比不打孔的处理精度更高,且孔洞适宜均匀分布,但数目不可过多,直径为3 mm时不宜超过36个;套筒封底会降低测量精度,内筒封底材料越薄、透气性能越好精度越高;内筒与套筒的间隔较小时精度更高。对露水进行的考察显示,夜间的露水会明显降低测量精度,当其凝结量大于土壤蒸发量时,无法利用MLS精确测出土壤蒸发量。测量精度随时间变化而相应改变,MLS刚装入土体后的前3 d土壤水分较大,精度比其后各日都低。在有适量水分补充的情况下,15 d不更换MLS筒内土体可行。

小麦拟坏死营养症状基因与赤霉病扩展抗性的分析

以宁7840和韩国品种Chokwang衍生的F10代重组近交系(RIL)群体为材料,研究拟坏死营养性症状与小麦赤霉病扩展抗性的关系。结果表明:拟坏死症状与赤霉病扩展抗性显著相关,具有坏死营养症状的RIL其病小穗率(PSS)显著低于没有该性状的株系。位于3BS上的Fhb1能够解释21%的表型变异,而拟坏死营养症状(Lesion mi mic,LM)基因对PSS的影响基本独立于Fhb1,二者没有显著的互作关系。这表明LM性状的表达具有一因多效作用,能够介导小麦的广谱抗性,对活体营养性病原菌引起的病害(如小麦锈病)和腐生营养性病原菌引起的赤霉病均有抑制作用,这类广谱基因在育种中可能具有重要的应用价值。
