通辽地区紫花苜蓿田杂草种类及发生规律的调查研究

通过对紫花苜蓿田杂草种类及发生规律的调查研究，表明通辽地区紫花苜蓿田有13科31种杂草，以一年生杂草为主；优势杂草藜、酸模叶蓼、打碗花、稗、反枝苋等呈集群分布；主要杂草发生时间在紫花苜蓿播种后10d左右进入出苗高峰期；一年生杂草大量发生时间在5～6月份，二年生和多年生杂草易常年发生；以禾本科稗草，阔叶类杂草藜、反枝苋、酸模叶蓼、打碗花发生最为普遍，危害严重。     

海南坡鹿对采食部位的选择与饲草酸性洗涤纤维含量的相关性

在海南大田国家级自然保护区围栏内用食痕法(evidence of feeding on forage)观测海南坡鹿Cervus eldi hainanus(简称坡鹿)对18种草本和18种灌木类饲草的采食部分占整株草本植株或占整枝灌木主枝条的尺寸比,同时测定各饲草的酸性洗涤纤维(ADF)含量.结果显示,按旱季与雨季的(全年)平均值,坡鹿对草本类饲草的采食尺寸比为49.29%,对灌木类饲草为57.3%;草本类饲草的ADF含量为9.91%,灌木类饲草为9.19%;无论草本还是灌木类,坡鹿的采食尺寸比随饲草ADF含量的增加而显著降低.研究表明,在大田自然保护区围栏内,坡鹿对ADF含量在10%以上的饲草不喜食,饲草纤维物质含量是坡鹿在围栏内扩充采食部位以增加营养摄入量的限制性因子,在旱季种植并收割饲草投喂坡鹿时,应避免其纤维物质含量增高.     

几种草被植物的水土保持效应研究

利用小型观测场,对比了几种草被植物地降水、径流量、土壤侵蚀量和土壤的物理性质.结果表明, 与裸地相比,草被植物可以增加土壤的覆盖度,减少降水的径流系数,减少土壤侵蚀量,其中百脉根Lotus corniculatus的效应最为明显.草被植物可以减小土壤容重,增加土壤空隙率,使土壤蓄水保水能力增加,同时提高土壤入渗速率和土壤的抗蚀性,其中百脉根地土壤含水量和入渗速率最大,苇状羊茅Festuca arundinacea地崩解所需时间最长.如苇状羊茅地、葛藤Pueraria lobata地、百脉根地和空旷地0～2 m土层土壤平均含水量分别是15.74%,15.83%,16.06%和14.61%,苇状羊茅、葛藤、百脉根地土壤完全崩解所需时间分别比空旷地多780,627,704 min.

玉米、小麦和高粱型日粮对肉仔鸡矿物元素沉积的影响

文章旨在研究不同日粮类型(玉米、小麦和高粱)对1～14 d肉仔鸡常量和微量元素沉积的影响。试验选择健康、体重一致的1日龄AA肉鸡540只,随机分为3组,每组6个重复,每个重复30只鸡。试验设计3种日粮,分别以玉米、小麦或高粱原料为主,3组日粮的代谢能、粗蛋白质和必需氨基酸水平维持一致,试验共进行14 d。结果表明:除了钙的含量例外,玉米、小麦或高粱型日粮其他矿物质元素的含量表现一致(P> 0.05)。14 d肉鸡各元素沉积系数的变化由0.24(镁)到0.64(钠),其中钠沉积系数在第3天最高(P <0.05);肉鸡日粮对各常量元素的影响表现为显著差异(P <0.05);3～7 d常量元素沉积系数显著降低(P <0.05);日粮类型显著影响3 d肉鸡钙的沉积系数,显著影响5 d肉鸡镁的沉积系数及磷的沉积系数(除了14 d)和钠的沉积系数(除了3 d)(P <0.05);小麦型日粮较玉米和高粱型日粮显著降低了钠的沉积系数(P <0.05);日粮类型和日粮对常量元素沉积系数的影响无显著交互作用(P> 0.05)。;肉鸡日粮对所有微量元素具有显著影响,其中在第3天表现为最高(P <0.05);日粮类型显著影响第7天铁、锌和锰的沉积系数(P <0.05),显著影响第9天铜的沉积系数(P <0.05);日粮类型和肉鸡日粮对微量元素的影响无显著交互作用(P> 0.05)。结论 :肉仔鸡对日粮无机矿物质的利用率较低,日龄对矿物元素的沉积量具有显著影响,但玉米、小麦或高粱型日粮对肉仔鸡常量和微量元素沉积量无显著影响。     

Understanding stakeholders’ opinions and preferences for non-native pet trade management in Florida

There is growing recognition of the link between the non-native pet trade and the introduction and establishment of invasive species due to the release and escape of non-native pets. However, it is unclear whether participants in the pet trade recognize the magnitude of this invasion risk. Successful mitigation of the pet trade invasion risk requires stakeholder support for, and participation in, regulations. We conducted 29 interviews in Florida to investigate key stakeholders’ opinions about the pet trade invasion risk and the effectiveness of potential regulations to mitigate this risk. Respondents framed the effectiveness of regulations in terms of their feasibility. Respondents also identified lack of trust and the existence of an adversarial relationship among stakeholder groups as major barriers to managing the pet trade invasion risk. Compliance with regulations may be improved if policy makers and managers utilize participatory decision-making to engage stakeholders in management of this risk.     

Factors responsible for levels of male sterility in photoperiod-sensitive cytoplasmic male sterile (PCMS) wheat lines

A `two-line system' using photoperiod-sensitivecytoplasmic male sterility (PCMS) caused by Aegilops crassa cytoplasm has been proposed as a newmeans of producing hybrid wheat. The PCMS line ismaintained by self-pollination under short-dayconditions (14.5 h light period), and F<sub>1</sub> seedscan be produced by outcrossing of the PCMS line witha pollinator under long-day conditions (15 h lightperiod). As the levels of male sterility in PCMSlines under the long-day conditions is a crucialfactor in determining hybrid purity of the F<sub>1</sub>seeds, a study was conducted into the effect ofseeding rate on male sterility in PCMS lines. Threedifferent density levels were tested using analloplasmic line of Japanese wheat cultivar `Norin 26'which exhibits PCMS. Levels of male sterility of thePCMS line increased at sparse planting, because tiller(ear) number per plant increased at low seedingdensity and late-appearing ears tended to exhibithigher levels of male sterility than early-appearingears. On the other hand, male sterility levels of thePCMS lines depended on genotype, e.g., the PCMS`Fujimikomugi' was completely male sterile, whereasthe PCMS `Norin 26' showed partial male sterility. APCMS line showing complete male sterility, such as thePCMS `Fujimikomugi', should produce F<sub>1</sub> seeds withhigh purity. However, the PCMS `Fujimikomugi' showeda lower female fertility. For practical use, it isnecessary to produce PCMS lines having high malesterility with high female fertility under long-dayconditions.     

The leaf-litter earthworm fauna (Annelida: Oligochaeta) of forests in Limpopo Province,South Africa: diversity,communities and conservation

A qualitative survey of the leaf-litter earthworm fauna of 11 selected indigenous forests in Limpopo Province, South Africa, was conducted to identify the species present, to describe the communities and to assess the relationship between indigenous and exotic species. A total of 8185 individuals from 17 species (five indigenous and 12 exotic species) were recorded. The average earthworm community comprised fewer than five species, but up to seven species were sampled from a single forest. Four of the species recorded are national (one species), regional (one species) or local (two species) endemics. Because these species are not known to live elsewhere, the protection of Limpopo Province forests is critical to their survival. The majority (71%) of the earthworm species sampled was exotic, and differences between exotic and indigenous species richness in forests were mostly significant. At the two spatial scales examined (20 m2 and individual forest) there is no evidence of an association between exotic and indigenous species richness. However, we cannot assume that exotic earthworms do not impact the forest ecosystem.
