Gamergates in the myrmicine genus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Metapone</Emphasis> (Hymenoptera:Formicidae)

Gamergates (i.e. mated reproductive workers) are mostly known from ant species within the Ponerinae. We report here the discovery of gamergates in two species of the subfamily Myrmicinae. Until now, mated reproductive females in colonies of myrmicine species have been considered morphologically distinct from the worker caste. However, in two species of the myrmicine Metapone (Metapone madagascarica and a newly discovered, not yet described Metapone species) all workers have six ovarioles and a spermatheca; and some of them are mated. There are no morphological differences between mated and non-mated workers. Field observations and laboratory studies indicate that colonies of the Metapone species can reproduce with gamergates only.     

Vocal acrobatics in a Chinese frog, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Amolops tormotus</Emphasis>

Although amphibians are highly vocal, they generally emit only a limited number of acoustic communication signals. We report here the extraordinarily rich vocal repertoire of Amolops tormotus, a ranid species in China. These frogs produce countless vocalizations, some of which share features of birdsong or primate calls, e.g., ultrasonic frequency components, multiple upward and downward FM sweeps, and sudden onset and offset of selective harmonic components within a call note. Frame-by-frame video analysis of the frog's calling behavior suggests the presence of two pairs of vocal sacs that may contribute to the remarkable call-note complexity in this species.

Inventory of emissions from major air pollutant categories in Turkey

In this study, an inventory of air pollutant emission estimates from major air polluting sources in Turkey for period between 1985 and 2005 with 5-year intervals were estimated. Inventory covers anthropogenic sources of five major air pollutants of particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and non-methane volatile organic compounds. Their break-down with respect to main activity sectors were shown and their distribution by the largest industrial source categories were worked out as annual estimates. This inventory and its analysis point to serious environmental implications of air pollutants and a need to develop a policy plan for reducing these emissions.

南岭地区工业发展方向的探讨

南岭山地是长江流域与珠江流域的分水岭。绵延断续的越城、都庞、萌诸、骑田、大庚五岭山脉,由西而东横贯粤、桂、湘、赣接壤地带,是一个比较完整的自然地理单元。这里自古就是我国南北交通要冲,区际经济联系比较紧密。由于南岭地处中亚热带南缘并具有向南亚热带过渡的特征,地质构造复杂,成矿作用广泛,因而可提供的生物资源丰富多采,地下矿藏极为富集。这两大优势资源,成为发展工业的雄厚物质基础。但是,与区内自然资源的丰度,以及地区经济发展的要求相比,工业规模还不相适应。探讨南岭地区工业发     

土壤中过量铜对水稻叶片光谱反射特性的影响

水稻移栽于添加不同量铜(分别为50、100、400ppm)的土壤上,叶片光谱反射特性发生规律性变化。在可见光部分反射率提高;在近红外部分反射率下降;在光谱反射率曲线的微分图上显示出蓝移。这些变化在分蘖期最为显著。从几个波段可以看出,正常的与铜毒害的水稻的光谱反射特性有较大差异。
