Latitudinal and seasonal variation in reproductive effort of the eastern fence lizard (Sceloporus undulatus)

Geographic variation in life‐history traits among populations of wide‐ranging species is influenced by both spatial and temporal aspects of the environment. Rarely, however, are the effects of both aspects examined concurrently. We collected gravid female lizards (Sceloporus undulatus) from northern (Indiana), central (Mississippi) and southern (Florida) populations, spanning nearly the full latitudinal range of the species, to examine amongpopulation differences in strategies of reproductive energy allocation. Adult females from the southern population were smaller, and produced fewer and smaller eggs in their first clutches than did females from the more northern populations. Southern females were more likely to produce a second clutch, and second clutches were smaller than first clutches for females from the 2 northern populations. Together these trends eliminated population differences in overall reproductive output after accounting for body size. The trend for greater reproductive energy to be allocated to first clutches at higher latitudes, and to later clutches at lower latitudes is corroborated by published data from field studies on multiple populations. Distributing reproductive effort by producing more clutches of smaller eggs may be an adaptive response to the long season available for egg incubation and lizard activity in sub‐tropical southern environments. In contrast, allocating greater resources to early reproduction may enhance maternal fitness in the relatively short activity seasons that characterize more northern sites.     

杂交野猪适宜日粮磷水平与钙磷比例的研究

选用纯种野公猪与杜洛克母猪的杂交后代含50%野猪血缘的42日龄杂交野猪36头,随机分成9组,试验为双因子3水平(3×3)析因安排分组,完全随机区组设计,每个因子3个水平,共9个处理。结果显示,不同磷水平与钙磷比例对各处理组的平均日耗料量、平均日增重、料重比差异均不显著(P>0.05)。不同钙磷比例水平下对血清钙的影响差异极显著(P<0.01),日粮磷和钙磷比例互作效应对血清钙影响差异极显著(P<0.01)。不同日粮钙磷比例对血清磷水平差异显著(P<0.05),日粮磷和钙磷比例互作效应对血清磷影响显著(P<0.05);0.4%的日粮磷水平与0.6%的磷水平对血清AKP活性影响差异极显著(P<0.01)。     

扎龙国家级自然保护区水鸟群落季节性变化调查

对扎龙湿地的水鸟群落进行资源调查,共记录水禽52种,隶属于5目11科。其中古北界种类42种（占82％）,广布种类10种（占18％）,东洋界种类无记录。对结果进行分析发现：扎龙自然保护区水鸟群落种类和数量随着迁徙活动呈现了明显的季节性变化。春季水鸟迁徙时间集中,种群数量变化剧烈,有高峰期;秋季水鸟迁徙时间分散,种群数量变化缓和,无明显的高峰期。     

地理远缘紫花苜蓿品种间杂交后代性状变异分析

以紫花苜蓿杂交组合（云南德钦地区紫花苜蓿为母本,引进紫花苜蓿品种Acrora为父本）的杂交亲本、杂种一代、杂种二代为研究材料,对供试材料的植株高度、分枝数、叶片长宽、干重等的变异幅度和变异规律进行了分析,旨在探索地理远缘的紫花苜蓿材料间杂交后代的性状变异及其规律,为选育出适合云南地区种植的紫花苜蓿品种提供基础。结果表明：F2的叶形性状发生了分离,出现了多叶性状的变异体。与杂交亲本相比,杂种后代表型性状出现了较大的变异,且各性状间变异幅度存在一定的差异,F1的株高,F2的叶长、宽出现了超均优势。在杂种后代中,5个性状的变异系数从大到小依次为干重〉分枝数〉株高〉叶长〉叶宽。     

Increase in plasma total antioxidant capacity of grazing Japanese Black heifers and cows in forestland in Japan

Blood total antioxidant capacity (TAC) has become a key bio‐marker for animal health. Forest‐grazing cattle are known to forage various native plants that have high TAC. This study evaluated differences of plasma TAC between forest‐grazing (FG) and pasture‐grazing cattle (PG). Experiment 1 monitored the plasma TAC levels of 32 Japanese Black cattle. The level in PG did not change throughout the grazing period. However, that in FG, which increased from summer, was significantly higher than that in PG through fall (P < 0.05). In experiment 2, we used nine Japanese Black heifers and investigated their blood antioxidant parameters and the TAC in plants that the cattle consumed in late June and September. The plasma TAC levels in FG were significantly higher than those in PG in both periods (P < 0.05). Plasma levels of lipid peroxidation in FG tended to be lower than that in PG (P = 0.098). Furthermore, the TAC levels in various species of shrubs and trees consumed by FG were higher than those in pasture grasses. Results of this study show that plasma TAC of grazing Japanese Black cattle in forestland increase from summer through fall.
