醋酸棉酚对绵羊瘤胃液真菌多样性的影响

本试验旨在运用高通量测序方法研究醋酸棉酚对绵羊瘤胃液真菌多样性的影响。选取8只健康、体重为(49.13±4.70)kg、安装有永久性瘤胃瘘管的哈萨克羊母羊,随机分为2组,分别为对照组和试验组,每组4只。试验期对照组绵羊饲喂基础饲粮;试验组绵羊第1~26天在基础饲粮中添加600 mg/(d只)醋酸棉酚,在第27~47天醋酸棉酚添加量增加至1200mg/(d只)。采集试验期正试期第1、20、37和47天瘤胃液样品,运用Illumina Hiseq平台测序分析绵羊瘤胃液真菌变化。结果显示:1)由样品物种稀释曲线和累积曲线可以看出,测序深度已经覆盖了瘤胃液样品中大部分的真菌。2)第1、20、47天,试验组与对照组相比瘤胃液真菌的Alpha多样性指数差异不显著(P>0.05);第37天时,试验组瘤胃液真菌的Shannon和Simpson指数显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。3)主坐标分析图显示,试验组与对照组瘤胃液真菌样品聚集在一起。4)在属水平上,第20和37天,试验组瘤胃液真菌区系中毛霉菌属(Mucor)相对丰度显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。第47天,试验组绵羊瘤胃液真菌区系中Metschnikowia相对丰度显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。综上所述,低浓度醋酸棉酚对绵羊瘤胃液真菌多样性无明显影响,醋酸棉酚浓度增加至1200mg/(d只)时,Simpson和Shannon指数显著升高;醋酸棉酚对绵羊瘤胃液真菌主要优势菌属组成无显著影响。     

Radiographic anatomy of the cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) axial and appendicular skeleton

Cockatiels are popular pets. Still, despite medical and surgical relevance, the radiographic anatomy of the cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) skeleton, like that of different wild and exotic bird species, has seldom been described. This study set out to describe the radiographic anatomy of the cockatiel skeleton. Twelve adult male and nine adult female specimens were radiographed using a digital X-ray system and different views. The radiographic anatomy of these birds was similar to that of other Psittacidae. However, some particularities inherent to the target species were detected, such as the presence of four flexion zones in the skull (craniofacial, nasal, jugal arch and palatine), complete bony orbit comprising a suborbital arch, 34–38 vertebrae (10 or 11 cervical, 8 or 9 thoracic, 9 or 10 lumbosacral, 5 or 6 caudal vertebrae and a pygostyle comprising 2 fused vertebrae), eight or nine pairs of ribs and a notarium made up of fused T2–T6 vertebrae. Poor radiopacity of the notarium, ribs and respective uncinate processes, and synsacral vertebrae made demarcation of these structures difficult. The appendicular skeleton of the cockatiel was very similar to that of other Psittacidae, and there were no gender-related differences.     

Attitudes of Rural Communities Toward Dispersing African Wild Dogs in South Africa

Subsistence pastoralists often view large carnivores negatively given that any loss of livestock is likely to represent a significant economic cost. Consequently, large carnivore conservation initiatives in rural landscapes should incorporate appropriate human–carnivore conflict mitigation strategies. In this study, structured interviews with local residents (n = 247) were used for determining attitudes toward African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) among rural communities neighboring two protected areas in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Contrary to expectations, the majority of respondents (58%) were generally positive toward wild dogs. This was probably due to a lack of livestock depredation by wild dogs and relatively high levels of formal education among respondents. Respondents with greater knowledge of wild dogs and conflict mitigation had more positive attitudes, and most were aware of effective husbandry techniques. The positive attitudes observed in these rural communities may benefit wild dog dispersal from natal home ranges and the future conservation of this endangered carnivore.

浓硫酸处理对黄河三角洲野大豆发芽效果的影响

在对黄河三角洲野大豆Glycine soja人工栽培的研究中,先进行了野大豆种子播种前处理方法的研究,破除其种皮硬实,提高发芽率.试验用98%浓硫酸浸泡加搅拌处理野大豆种子,设3,6,9,12 min及对照5个水平,并分别以滤纸和沙作为培养床进行发芽试验.结果表明,用浓硫酸浸泡加搅拌作用效果明显(P＜0.05),其中处理时间为9 min发芽率和发芽势最佳,分别达到100%和99.33%,而不同培养床间发芽率和发芽势差异不显著(P＞0.05).     

温度及盐胁迫对7个野生观赏草种子萌发特性的影响

以甘肃地区采集的7个野生观赏草种子为试验材料,设6个恒温及7个不同浓度NaCl溶液处理,研究了温度及盐胁迫对其种子萌发特性的影响,以期为野生观赏草引种驯化和繁殖提供依据。结果表明:10~35℃恒温范围内,7个材料种子最适发芽温度为发草(天祝)、发草(渭源)和芨芨草(武威)为25℃,狼尾草(宁县)、芨芨草(兰州)和书带苔草(渭源)为20~25℃,云雾苔草(渭源)为20~30℃。NaCl溶液浓度在0~1.1%内,7个野生观赏草种子萌发的发芽率、发芽指数、发芽势、胚芽和根长、鲜苗重均随NaCl浓度的增加而下降。在0.7%NaCl重度胁迫下,7个野生观赏草种子的发芽率、发芽指数、发芽势、胚芽和根长、鲜苗重6个指标显著低于对照(P0.05)。NaCl溶液浓度为0.9%时除狼尾草(宁县)和发草(天祝)种子可以萌发外,其余材料种子未萌发。用发芽率、发芽指数、胚芽和胚根长、幼苗鲜重6个指标的相对值作为7个野生观赏草种子萌发期耐盐性综合评价值,7个野生观赏草种子萌发期耐盐性强弱依次为:狼尾草(宁县)发草(渭源)发草(天祝)芨芨草(武威)芨芨草(兰州)书带苔草(渭源)云雾苔草(渭源)。     

Effect of ammonium‐iron‐hexa‐cyanoferrate and of the covariates age,gender, weight,season and calendar time on radiocaesium contamination of wild boars living in the wild in Bavaria

Feed with Ammonium‐iron‐hexa‐cyanoferrate (AFCF; 1250 mg AFCF/kg) was fed between March 2009 and March 2011 to wild boars in a territory of 4.5 km² (experimental group, EXP). One hundred and forty similar territories in the same county (500 km², spruce forest, agriculture) served as control (CON). Data for comparison from all territories were available from March 2005 to March 2011. Wild boars could move between, into and from the territories. Lean skeletal muscle meat (500 g) of all wild boars that were killed by humans (hunting and traffic accidents) was investigated for gamma‐radiation from ¹³⁷Cs with a becquerel monitor with a sodium iodide scintillator crystal (range of detection 20–9999 Bq/kg). The wild boars were weighed, and gender and age were determined. For the analyses of effects, multivariable regression models were fitted with the ¹³⁷Cs concentration as response variable. There was a significant difference between the ¹³⁷Cs contamination of wild boars from CON (563 ± 932 Bq/kg meat, n = 1253) and EXP (236 ± 276 Bq/kg meat; n = 45). ¹³⁷Cs contamination decreased with increasing body weight by ?5 Bq/kg meat/kg body weight increase (p < 0.05). Females had higher Bq measurements than males (by +80 Bq/kg meat, p < 0.05). Piglets were lower than adults, but turn‐coats higher. From November to May, contamination was higher (by +500 to +600 Bq/kg meat, p < 0.05) than during the rest of the year. In 2010, contamination was higher (by +200 to + 300 Bq/kg meat, p < 0.05) in comparison with the other years under observation. When all covariates were controlled for, the effect of AFCF was highly significant. Interaction analyses showed that the intervention decreased ¹³⁷Cs contamination by ?500 Bq/kg meat during November to May and by ?200 Bq/kg meat during the rest of the year. In summary, AFCF feeding reduces ¹³⁷Cs contamination of wild boars living in the wild significantly, particularly during the season from November to May.     

AM真菌对NaCl胁迫下滨梅（Prunus maritima）苗生长和营养元素吸收的影响

在温室条件下分别接种摩西球囊霉Glomus mosseae、透光球囊霉G.diaphanum和幼套球囊霉G.etunicatum,来观察盐胁迫下滨梅的生长反应。结果表明接种了AM真菌的滨梅与对照相比显著增加了滨梅幼苗的生长。接种了摩西球囊霉G.mosseae和幼套球囊霉G.etunicatum的滨梅幼苗所含的干物质总量分别高出对照47%和43%,总叶面积分别高出对照36%和35%。NaCl胁迫下接种AM真菌的滨梅幼苗叶中所有养分含量除了Fe都表现出相互作用,方差分析的结果显著;摩西球囊霉G.mosseae和幼套球囊霉G.etunicatum在提高滨梅苗的抗盐能力上比透光球囊霉G.diaphanum更有效。实验结果表明接种特定的AM真菌能够缓解土壤盐胁迫对滨梅的伤害反应。
