超级居群：连接生境多样性和生物多样性之桥

在达尔文（1859）看来,新物种只有通过竞争或者自然选择的方式淘汰原有物种才能进入由其他物种占据的生境并成功定居下来。然而,新物种进入生境并成功定居还有另外一个途径,那就是由于超级居群能在全球尺度上改变整个地球环境,从而能在原有环境中创造出一些全新的微环境来,正是这些全新的微环境使新物种避开了和原有定居者的剧烈竞争,很容易地进入了一直由其他物种占据的生境中并成功地定居下来。换句话说,超级居群导致了全球环境的分化,导致了全球尺度上的生境多样性。同时,超级居群通过环境的异质化为新物种准备好了很多全新的微环境,新物种在全新的微环境中的成功定居实现了新物种和原有定居者的长期共存。而这种长期共存导致了整个生物圈的生物多样性的增加。超级居群是地球上很多新环境的创造者,是生境多样性和生物多样性之间的桥梁,据此就能很容易地解释新物种为什么不时能和原有定居者共存甚至依赖于原有定居者,从而导致二者间剧烈竞争缺失的现象。     

The effects of agricultural fields and human settlements on the use of rivers by wildlife in the mid-Zambezi valley,Zimbabwe

After the eradication of the Tse-Tse fly in the Mid-Zambezi valley, human settlements and fields extended mainly along the main rivers. In order to investigate the consequences of this human development on wildlife diversity we monitored three rivers of the Mid-Zambezi valley in Zimbabwe: Angwa, Manyame and Kadzi. The rivers were divided in segments of 200 m which were checked for spoors in order to assess the number of species and the number of individuals that used the segments. Human settlements were also recorded. We used a GIS to define the spatial characteristics of the fields present along the rivers, and related them to the distribution and abundance of wild species spoors in the river beds and banks. Our results show that the number of species in one segment of the river decreased with the increasing size of the field area bordering the segment. For all the major ungulate species, the numbers of individuals recorded per segment decreased with increasing field area. A similar trend was observed for small and medium-sized carnivores, though they were in lower numbers when present. Our analyses thus confirm that the extension of human agriculture in wildlife areas has an impact on most wild species, but we also define some threshold value of field size above which there seem to be an acceleration of the decrease in wildlife density and diversity: 3.2 ha for medium and small herbivores and carnivores; only the elephant seem to tolerate larger field area with a threshold value of 32 ha.This revised version was published online in May 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

太谷县玉米田植物寄生线虫种类及垂直分布

对山西省太谷县玉米田植物寄生线虫种类及分布进行了初步的调查研究。结果表明,从126份土壤样品中共鉴定出4个属5个种的植物寄生线虫,分别为米卡垫刃线虫(Miculenchus sp),马舒德矮化线虫(Tmashhoodi),燕麦真滑刃线虫(A avenae),普通丝尾线虫(F vulgaris)和裂片真滑刃线虫(Aphelenchus spar-sus),其中,马舒德矮化线虫和普通丝尾线虫为山西省新记录种。这些线虫在0～50 cm土层内均有分布,但不同种类的线虫在土壤中的垂直分布有不同的趋向性。裂片真滑刃线虫在10～20 cm土层中最多;马舒德矮化线虫主要聚集于0～10 cm的表层土壤中;米卡垫刃线虫在各土层中分布较均匀,40～50 cm土层中稍多;普通丝尾线虫主要分布于0～20 cm土层中;燕麦真滑刃线虫在30～40 cm土层中分布最多。总的来说,玉米根际线虫主要集中于10～20 cm土层中,占0～50 cm土层线虫总数的22.9%。

西藏拉孜县草地植物群落的TWINSPAN分类及其物种多样性研究

应用双向指示种(TWINSPAN)分类技术对西藏拉孜县草地植物群落的71个样方进行分类和生物多样性研究;根据丰富度、均匀度和多样性指数,对分类后得到的群落类型进行排序,并探讨环境因子和草地植物群落多样性指标之间的关系。TWINSPAN分类的结果表明,上述草地植物群落可以划分为22个群落类型。通过海拔高度、经度、纬度、坡向和坡度与3个多样性指标的相关分析,只有海拔高度与均匀度之同星显著的负相关关系,即随着海拔的升高均匀度降低,而其它的环境因子与多样性指标之间无显著相关关系存在。     

Collembola in ecotoxicology—Any news or just boring routine?

Despite the uncontested significance of soils for human nutrition and drinking water quality, the majority of ecotoxicological testing is confined to aquatic test systems. Among the standardised tests for soils, the reproduction test with the springtail Folsomia candida is among the most widely used ones. First steps towards its standardisation were undertaken in the late 1980s. Here we review major advances that have been made since then, with respect to mechanistic, pragmatic and ecological aspects. Specifically we address the ecological relevance of any modifications of the standardised tests. We introduce a miniaturised version of the reproduction test which allows reducing the amount of soil per test unit to one third and the number of synchronised individuals to 40% as compared to the standard test. In addition, we developed an assay using Collembola eggs instead of synchronised adults. First results of a three-species test indicate that the presence of other species may affect choice behaviour. We point out a potential biased view of existing ecotoxicological data with Collembola due to the fact that most results refer to metal contamination. Finally, recommendations for future research are given, with special reference to avoidance and microcosm tests involving Collembola.
