橘色海菊蛤人工繁育技术研究

本研究以野生橘色海菊蛤(Spondylus aurantius)为材料,观察了橘色海菊蛤的亲体催熟、胚胎及稚贝的发育过程,比较了不同温度条件下胚胎发育速度及不同材质和采苗深度对海菊蛤附着效果的影响。结果显示,野生橘色海菊蛤在养殖池经自然催熟后性腺饱满,发育成熟;采用“晾干+流水+高温”刺激获得了橘色海菊蛤优质精卵,并成功完成了受精;受精卵通过不均等卵裂,依次发育为多细胞卵裂期、囊胚、担轮幼虫、D形幼虫、壳顶幼虫、匍匐幼虫和稚贝,累计耗时25～27 d。受精卵在温度为28℃和32℃时均可发育至稚贝,且在水温为32℃时,胚胎各个阶段发育速度均快于28℃。室内不同水层采苗结果显示,底层采苗器附着密度要显著高于上层(P<0.05);不同附着基材质附着密度结果显示,室内采苗阶段黑蝶贝壳附着效果最好,而后依次为海菊蛤壳>牡蛎壳>混凝土饼>黑色遮阳网>绿色聚乙烯网片。在自然海区养殖30d后,海菊蛤壳和牡蛎壳附着及生长效果最优。本研究首次成功开展了橘色海菊蛤人工繁育,获得了其胚胎和稚贝发育规律,研究结果可为该物种在南海人工规模化养殖提供支撑。     

人工神经网络NIR定量分析方法及其软件实现

在Visual C＋＋环境中采用面向对象技术,开发了PCA-MBP-NIR定量分析模型软件。通过40份小麦样品的原始光谱、加噪光谱（信噪比为14dB）与含水率所建立的PLS-NIR与PCA-MBP-NIR模型,对10份未知小麦样品的原始光谱、加噪光谱分别进行含水率的PLS-NIR与PCA-MBP-NIR预测分析。分析表明,对于含噪声的光谱,与PLS建模相比,使用PCA-MBP-NIR对未知样品预测结果具有更高的相关系数,更低的预测误差标准差。     

Scale-dependent habitat use in three species of prairie wetland birds

We evaluated the influence of scale on habitat use for three wetland-obligate bird species with divergent life history characteristics and possible scale-dependent criteria for nesting and foraging in South Dakota, USA. A stratified, two-stage cluster sample was used to randomly select survey wetlands within strata defined by region, wetland density, and wetland surface area. We used 18-m (0.1 ha) fixed radius circular-plots to survey birds in 412 semipermanent wetlands during the summers of 1995 and 1996. Variation in habitat use by pied-billed grebes (Podilymbus podiceps) and yellow-headed blackbirds (Xanthocephalus xanthocephalus), two sedentary species that rarely exploit resources outside the vicinity of nest wetlands, was explained solely by within-patch variation. Yellow-headed blackbirds were a cosmopolitan species that commonly nested in small wetlands, whereas pied-billed grebes were an area-sensitive species that used larger wetlands regardless of landscape pattern. Area requirements for black terns (Chlidonias niger), a vagile species that typically forages up to 4 km away from the nest wetland, fluctuated in response to landscape structure. Black tern area requirements were small (6.5 ha) in heterogeneous landscapes compared to those in homogeneous landscapes (15.4–32.6 ha). Low wetland density landscapes composed of small wetlands, where few nesting wetlands occurred and potential food sources were spread over large distances, were not widely used by black terns. Landscape-level measurements related to black tern occurrence extended past relationships between wetlands into the surrounding matrix. Black terns were more likely to occur in landscapes where grasslands had not been tilled for agricultural production. Our findings represent empirical evidence that characteristics of entire landscapes, rather than individual patches, must be quantified to assess habitat suitability for wide-ranging species that use resources over large areas.

Modeling waterbird diversity in irrigation ponds of Taoyuan, Taiwan using an artificial neural network approach

The study develops an approach adopted by artificial neural networks (ANN) to model the relationship between pondscape and waterbird diversity. Study areas with thousands of irrigation ponds are unique geographic features from the original functions of irrigation converted to waterbird refuges. The model considers pond shape and size, neighboring farmlands, and constructed areas in calculating parameters pertaining to the interactive influences on avian diversity, among them the Shannon–Wiener diversity index. Results indicate that irrigation ponds adjacent to farmland benefited waterbird diversity. On the other hand, urban development leads to the reduction of pond numbers, which reduces waterbird diversity. By running the ANN model, the resulting index shows a good-fit prediction of bird diversity against pond size, shape, neighboring farmlands, and neighboring developed areas with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.72, in contrast to the results from a linear regression model (r < 0.28).

水体重金属污染评价方法对比研究——以扎龙湿地湖水为例

采用对权重公式进行发展的模糊综合评价模型对仙鹤湖湖水重金属污染状况进行了评价和分析,并与灰色关联分析法、分级评价法、内梅罗指数法和单因子指数法进行了评价结果的比较,其中前3种方法的评价结果整体趋势是基本一致的。与实际情况对比表明,模糊综合法和分级评价法评价结果概率分布比较客观真实地反映了整体湖水水质状况,因此模糊综合法对评价对象的整体质量状况评价结果明显。基于评价结果进行了蒙特卡罗（MC）预测,参考各方法的评价结果的蒙特卡罗预测值和湖水水质实际情况,满足湖水评价参数的概率为74.87%,即扎龙湿地仙鹤湖湖水整体水质为Ⅱ级,同时有向Ⅲ级转化的趋势。扎龙湿地仙鹤湖营养状态级别为中度富营养。

The potential of temporary shelters to increase survival of the endangered Mexican axolotl

1. Amphibian populations worldwide are in decline. Proactive conservation techniques such as translocations into created and restored wetlands have gained popularity in recent years but may fail owing to high predation and low environmental adaptability.
2. The Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), affected by rapid urbanization, is now possibly extinct in the wild despite millions living in captivity throughout the world.
3. The aim of this study was to explore whether ponds from an artificial wetland can function as temporary shelters for a viable population of axolotls that could be re-introduced into their native ecosystem in Xochimilco once it is restored.
4. Egg-laying and hatching of 11 unique axolotl pairs placed into reproductive enclosures and larval survival to 7 weeks and up to 12 months were examined. Physicochemical and biological parameters were estimated and compared among ponds.
5. The results from this study are encouraging as they suggest that two ponds have adequate conditions for axolotls to reproduce and for larvae and juveniles to survive.
