放牧强度对克氏针茅草原植物功能群的影响

植物功能群及其多样性是维持群落结构复杂性和稳定性的基础,一定程度上反映着草地生态系统的健康状况。本研究以内蒙古呼伦贝尔草原的克鲁伦河流域草原为研究对象,以植物生活型划分功能群类型,比较了3种放牧强度对植物功能群的组成结构、地上生物量和优势度的影响。结果表明,1)轻牧、中牧和重牧3种放牧条件下的总物种数分别为20、23和18种,符合"中度干扰假说";3种放牧强度下多年生非禾草物种数在群落中均占较高比例。2)轻度放牧条件下物种丰富度较低,但各放牧强度下功能群多样性无显著差异(P0.05),物种丰富度与功能群多样性无显著关系。3)随着放牧强度的增加,多年生禾草和灌木、半灌木在群落中的优势地位呈现下降趋势,与之相反,多年生非禾草优势地位越来越显著。重度放牧增加了一、二年生草本在群落中的物种数和地上生物量,但与轻牧、中牧相比,其优势度无显著变化(P0.05)。

Practical aspects of genetic management of small populations – The Olkuska sheep example

Abstract

The study aimed to identify important factors threatening genetic diversity within small sheep populations, and to propose sustainable management strategies. Demographic evolution, genetic diversity and current genetic management practices were analyzed in a population of Polish Olkuska sheep. Unbalanced contributions of individual rams to the next generation were observed due to differences in the period of their utilization, the number of progeny and the number of daughters used in reproduction. Matings between closely related animals were common. Pedigree completeness was satisfactory and inbreeding coefficient was high, 11.71% for lambs born in 2012. Relatively high values of potential and realized coancestries within flocks showed the importance of keeping more than one ram. The genetic conservation index and average relatedness coefficient, and their comparison between regions was helpful in considering management options. The information on genetic relationships and genetic conservation parameters of rams should be provided to breeders with simple interpretations.     

Genetic diversity decreases as population density declines: Implications of temporal variation in mitochondrial haplotype frequencies in a natural population of Tscherskia triton

Although the spatial genetic differentiation that occurs in animal populations has been extensively studied, information on temporal variations in genetic structure and diversity is still lacking, especially for animals with oscillating populations. In the present study, we used the mtDNA D‐loop sequence to assess the temporal genetic variation in samples from six successive years for the greater long‐tailed hamster, Tscherskia triton. Sampling was carried out between 1998 and 2003 in cropland on the North China Plain, China. A total of 108 individuals were analyzed. The temporal samples showed a high level of genetic diversity. Substantial genetic changes in haplotype frequencies over time were detected for the hamster population. Random genetic drift and migration are likely to be the major factors responsible for the observed temporal pattern. The genetic diversity of the hamster population was higher in years with higher population density, and lower in years with lower population density. The result supports our hypothesis that genetic diversity decreases when population density declines in animals whose population oscillates greatly between years. The combined effects of inbreeding and genetic drift caused by reproduction, dispersal and population size might play important roles in the observed changes in genetic structure and diversity between years.     

黑龙江省海林市威虎山影视基地夏季常见脊椎动物物种多样性及其动态

2002～2009年,对黑龙江省海林市横道河子镇威虎山影视基地夏季脊椎动物物种多样性进行调查,结果表明：该地区夏季常见脊椎动物有122种,其中圆口纲动物1种、鱼类11种、两栖类6种、爬行类5种、鸟类83种、哺乳类16种,每年平均能够见到79种,由于道路施工以及影视剧拍摄等人为活动干扰使得该地区脊椎动物的物种多样性从2005年显著减少,现正逐步恢复。     

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。     

西北地区和尚头小麦遗传多样性及农艺性状的关联分析

为了解西北地区和尚头小麦种质资源的遗传特性及主要农艺性状特征,采用43份不同来源的和尚头小麦种质材料,在均匀分布于小麦21条染色体上的150个SSR(simple sequence repeats)位点上检测遗传多样性,同时对19个农艺性状在两个试验点进行表型鉴定,并采用GLM(general linear model)模型进行分子标记与表型性状的关联分析。结果表明,19个农艺性状中数量性状遗传多样性明显高于质量性状,除壳色外,其他性状之间均存在不同程度的相关性。利用45对具有多态性的SSR标记共检测出151个等位变异,各标记等位位点变化范围为2～6,平均为3.36个,PIC(polymorphism information content)值变异范围为0.044～0.771。群体遗传结构分析将43份材料划分为8个亚群。关联分析发现11个SSR标记与农艺性状显著关联,单个标记对表型变异的解释率为8.89%～24.74%,这些标记可为特色小麦分子标记辅助选择育种提供理论参考。
