Assessing the impacts of domesticated versus wild ungulates on terrestrial small mammal assemblages at Telperion Nature Reserve,South Africa

Grazing by large mammals alters vegetation physiognomy, consequently changing habitat suitability for small mammal communities. We investigated the response of terrestrial small mammals to grazing by wild and domesticated ungulates at the boundary of a protected area (Telperion Nature Reserve) and surrounding cattle ranches in Mpumalanga, South Africa over two seasons. Fifteen paired grids were set on either side of the boundary fence at which small mammals were trapped in Sherman live traps placed flat on the ground. A total of 11 760 trap nights resulted in the capture of 187 animals belonging to 14 species (11 rodents, two shrews and one elephant shrew). The small mammal communities in grasslands grazed by domesticated or wild ungulates were similar in abundance, species richness, diversity and demographic parameters, likely due to the fact that vegetation structure of the two grazing systems was also similar. We used generalised linear models to show that rock and grass cover were plausible predictors of small mammal abundance in this system. Rock cover showed a positive relationship with small mammal abundance whilst grass cover showed a negative relationship. Our observations suggest that at the scale of our study and with the current stocking densities, wild and domesticated ungulates have similar impacts on the small mammal community.     

南方丘陵地区人工草地和旱作农田能量物质利用率

分析比较我国南方丘陵地区人工草地和旱作农田能量和养分物质的利用效率。结果表明:在建植第1年,人工草地的能量和氮的输出量大于旱作农田;牧草可有效提高光能利用率,对辅助能和氮、磷的利用效率也显著高于后者;二者经济效益相近;种草第2年的效益比第1年更好,其能量物质输出量、利用率和经济效益都显著高于旱作农田。     

西藏东南部原始森林夏-秋季节鸡类的栖息地利用

本文报道了1995年夏-秋季节西藏东南部原始森林鸡类栖息地的利用方式.记录有7个物种,这些物种大多喜欢在阳坡环境,而回避相对潮湿的阴坡环境.在这一鸡类群落中,白马鸡(Crossoptilon crossoptilon)与藏马鸡(C.harmani)的杂交类型在数量上是最丰富的,其次是血雉(Ithaginis cruentus)和斑尾榛鸡(Bonasa sewerzowi).随后于2001年的调查表明,由于地处偏僻,这些鸡类依然没有遭受人类狩猎和栖息地干扰的影响.     

阿莫西林和硫酸粘菌素对猪鸡大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌的体外联合抗菌作用

探讨了阿莫西林与硫酸粘菌素对猪鸡的大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌的联合抗菌效果。采用微量稀释法分别测定阿莫西林与硫酸粘菌素单药对大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌的最低抑菌浓度（MIC）,采用棋盘稀释法测定阿莫西林与硫酸粘菌素联用对大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌的MIC并计算联合指数（FIC）。试验结果显示,对14株试验菌株体外联合抗菌呈协同与相加作用的占78.6%,呈无关作用的占21.4%,无拮抗作用,表明阿莫西林和硫酸粘菌素可联合应用于治疗猪鸡大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌感染。     

施氮水平对甜高粱硝酸盐含量和氮素利用特性的影响

试验采用完全随机区组设计,分别于2009和2010年在华东农区生态条件下进行田间试验,研究不同施氮水平(0,100,200,300,400,500kg N/hm2)对大力士甜高粱硝酸盐积累,粗蛋白含量和氮素利用特性的影响。结果表明,随着生育期的推进,植株地上部硝酸盐含量不断降低,相比于叶片,茎秆更有利于硝酸盐的积累。随着施氮水平的提高,粗蛋白生产效率(CPPE),氮素干物质生产效率(NDMPE),干物质生产效率(DMPE)和表观回收率(NARR)逐渐下降,说明施氮量越高,氮素利用越低,损失越大。粗蛋白(crude protein,CP)和游离氨基酸(free amino acid,FAA)含量均随施氮量的增加而增加,但FAA的增幅低于CP,施氮量为500kg N/hm2时,CP的平均增幅为6.11%,FAA的平均增幅为2.99%,说明施氮虽然增加了植株CP含量,但优质蛋白质比例下降。施氮提高了甜高粱硝酸盐含量,施氮量大于400kg N/hm2时,甜高粱硝酸盐含量大于0.2%,青饲时易导致家畜硝酸盐中毒。综合考虑,大力士甜高粱在华东农区较为适宜的施氮量为200~300kg N/hm2,既可满足对甜高粱高产优质的需求,提高氮素的利用效率,又可减少氮素流失和对土壤及地下水的污染。     

张掖黑河灌区苜蓿高效灌溉模式研究

通过对黑河流域大满灌区灌溉试验,测定了不同生育年龄甘农3号苜蓿Medecago sativacv.GannongNo.3地上生物量,经统计分析建立了苜蓿地上生物量年际动态和不同生育年内各茬间动态变化规律,结果表明,不同年际间各茬产量在不同水分处理下水分利用效率存在明显差异。不同水分处理下产量的变化呈高-低-高的“S”型变化,确定了苜蓿地的高效灌溉时期为现蕾-开花期,优化灌溉定额为520 mm,为苜蓿高产节水灌溉模式提供了理论依据。

Voles and weasels in the boreal Fennoscandian small mammal community: what happens if the least weasel disappears due to climate change?

Climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation are major threats for populations and a challenge for individual behavior, interactions and survival. Predator–prey interactions are modified by climate processes. In the northern latitudes, strong seasonality is changing and the main predicted feature is shortening and instability of winter. Vole populations in the boreal Fennoscandia exhibit multiannual cycles. High amplitude peak numbers of voles and dramatic population lows alternate in 3–5‐year cycles shortening from North to South. One key factor, or driver, promoting the population crash and causing extreme extended lows, is suggested to be predation by the least weasel. We review the arms race between prey voles and weasels through the multiannual density fluctuation, affected by climate change, and especially the changes in the duration and stability of snow cover. For ground‐dwelling small mammals, snow provides thermoregulation and shelter for nest sites, and helps them hide from predators. Predicted increases in the instability of winter forms a major challenge for species with coat color change between brown summer camouflage and white winter coat. One of these is the least weasel, Mustela nivalis nivalis. Increased vulnerability of wrong‐colored weasels to predation affects vole populations and may have dramatic effects on vole dynamics. It may have cascading effects on other small rodent–predator interactions and even on plant–animal interactions and forest dynamics.
