Distances Walked by Long Established and Newcomer Horses in an Open Stable System in Northern Germany

Group housing is claimed to possibly provide horses with a species-appropriate movement possibility, and hence, better welfare. Thus, this study analyzed the daily walked distances of 51 horses held in one group in a “HIT Active Stable” (Hinrichs Innovation + Technik) in Northern Germany by using global positioning system (GPS) technology during a 7 ½-month time span. The daily walking distances of the whole group, as well as newcomers, were investigated. The horses traveled an average of 8.43 km/day. Linear mixed models were applied. The observation day had a significant effect on the daily walking distances (P < .01) due to season and the available area per horse. The age as covariate also had a significant effect (P < .01). The breed had no significant effect (P = .96). No significant differences were found in sex (P = .69), which can be explained by the fact that only mares and geldings were investigated, which do not show increasing locomotion caused by sexual behavior as stallions do. On six of the first nine days, new horses moved significantly more compared to the remaining 24 of the 30 observation days directly after individuals’ inclusion. This is probably due to more exploration and rank-fighting behavior. Similar walking distances were seen among the horses on the single observation days because all horses had to travel the same distance to reach resources. Further, it is suspected that not all horses can sufficiently live out their urges to move, especially in winter, when pasture is inaccessible.

Agricultural extension approach: evidence from an Integrated Soil Fertility Management Project in Ethiopia

Agricultural extension is an approach to rural development and agricultural transformation in which training, demonstration and technology transfer are key to reducing rural poverty, ensuring food security, and sustainably managing natural resources. During recent decades, different extension approaches have been tested and validated by the Ethiopian government and non-governmental organizations to stimulate participation in the agricultural extension system (AES). The most recent was a German-funded project entitled “Integrated Soil Fertility Management Project” (ISFM⁺), which employed a novel approach to piloting and upscaling proven technology and best practice. The purpose of this study was to analyze and document the modalities of ISFM⁺ and illustrate its effects on technology uptake and dissemination. The study used a mixed methods approach to collect data. ATLAS.ti and SPSS were used for data management and analysis. Farmer Research and Extension Groups and Farmer Field Schools were found to be central to the participation process. Also, the ISFM⁺ was found to aid technology transfer and helped to increase grain and residue yields as well as farmer livelihoods. Based on these empirical findings, it is argued that the ISFM⁺ approach and technology should be integrated and institutionalized in the mainstream AES in order to promote their extensive application.     

黄淮旱地组小麦品种抗旱性鉴定比较分析

为了解近年来黄淮冬麦区旱地组小麦品种抗旱性的整体情况,对2017—2019年黄淮冬麦区132个区试品种（系）在干旱胁迫下的产量及抗旱指数,穗数、穗粒数、千粒重、株高等性状及抗旱系数,进行分析总结。结果表明：黄淮旱肥组、旱薄组、北部组区试品种（系）近年来品种的抗旱性趋势大体相同,胁迫情况下产量总的变化是旱肥组>旱薄组>北部组,且呈逐年稳中有升的趋势,从抗旱指数看,黄淮旱地小麦品种的抗旱整体还处于偏弱的水平;抗旱性状表现为干旱胁迫下均有不同程度的受损,均以千粒重的受损程度最小,有效穗、穗粒数、株高受损程度最大。

高体鳑鲏幼鱼集群行为的研究

为了考查高体鳑鲏(Rhodeus ocellatus)幼鱼的集群行为,研究选取248尾幼鱼,组成1、2、4、8和16尾高体鳑鲏幼鱼的群体(N = 8),在(25 ± 1)℃水温条件下进行15分钟的视频拍摄、运动轨迹提取和分析。结果显示：①高体鳑鲏的自发游泳速度多介于0-10 cm/s之间,其速度中位数随群体大小上升呈先下降后上升的趋势(P ﹤ 0.05),但各组间游泳速度的同步性随群体大小的上升而下降(P ﹤ 0.05);②焦点鱼和群体中其它个体的最近邻距离(NND)多出现在0-10 cm之间,且2和4个体组的NND显著大于8和(或)16个体组(P ﹤ 0.05);③2和4个体组排列的极性显著高于8和16个体组(P ﹤ 0.05)。研究结果表明群体大小对高体鳑鲏集群行为的特征有显著影响,随群体大小上升,凝聚力上升,但协调性有所下降。

Genetic Relationships among Prunus mume var. pendula Using AFLP Markers

Genetic relationships among Prunus mume var. pendula were studied by using AFLP markers. 18 accessions representing 14 cultivars ofPrunus murne var. pendula were selected from the germplasm collection at the Research Center of China Mci Flower. Seven Mse I-EcoR I AFLP primer combinations revealed 450 legible bands, and 269 of which were polymorphic markers. A similarity matrix was prepared using the simple matching coefficient of similarity and Nei‘s (72) distance coefficient. A UPGMA dendrogram demonstrated the genetic relationships of the cultivars. The information given by AFLP markers was basically consistent with the morphological classification and the evolutionary history of the morphotypes, and roughly supported the new revised classification system for Chinese Mci Cultivars. But there were still several exceptions: 1) the ‘Guhong Chuizhi‘ inserted between the ‘Tiaoxue Chuizhi‘ and the ‘Danfen Chuizhi‘; 2) the ‘Wufu Chuizhi‘ kept off the Pink Pendant Form, and the ‘Moshan Chuizhi‘ was removed from Viridiflora Pendant Form; 3) the ‘Danbi Chuizhi‘ and the ‘Shuangbi Chuizhi‘ of Viridiflora Pendant Form got together well but fell within the Pink Pendant Form.
