植物种群的监测

阐明了植物的基本种群单位的特征，并对它们进行了遗传学和生态－－种群统计学分析。指出用于局部水平的种群监测的最适宜基本单位有两个，即种群和生境种群。提出了专家信息系统，该系统可用监测中的信息积累、评价植物种群状态和预测种群的发展前景。     

Equine laryngeal hemiplegia. Part V. Central nervous system pathology

Evidence of long central nerve fibre degeneration (axonal spheroids) in the lateral cuneate nuclei was found in all eight Thoroughbreds affected clinically and subclinically with equine laryngeal hemiplegia, but in only one of six control animals. It was considered that these spheroids may signify a central nervous component of the disease process of laryngeal hemiplegia although until further investigations are performed no firm conclusions regarding the relationship of these findings with laryngeal hemiplegia could be made. Examination of the left and right nucleus ambiguus of clinical and subclinical laryngeal hemiplegic horses revealed no pathological alterations.     

A review and some observations on stringhalt

A review of the literature on stringhalt in horses is presented, including the aetiology, clinical signs, pathology and treatment of this disease. Three New Zealand outbreaks of stringhalt are reported and discussed. The occurrence of these (and most previously reported outbreaks) in the late summer and autumn, and the association of the disease with various weeds, indicates a likely toxic aetiology.
