大气生成宇宙成因核素~(10)Be在中国黄土中的应用研究进展

中国黄土~(10)Be研究大体上经历了三个阶段:(1)地球化学行为研究:~(10)Be主要吸附于细颗粒及粘土颗粒,在黄土中保存性好,不会发生明显的化学迁移过程;(2)古气候代用指标应用:~(10)Be在黄土和古土壤层中的浓度变化与代表气候变化的深海氧同位素曲线变化一致,且可借此进行黄土年代标尺的建立;(3)地球环境示踪研究:示踪地磁场倒转及漂移事件,恢复古地磁场相对强度变化,以及定量重建黄土高原地区古降水变化历史等。由于近年来黄土~(10)Be环境示踪研究取得了可喜的成果,笔者认为有必要从以上三个方面对中国黄土~(10)Be研究历史进行较为系统的梳理回顾,总结当前最新研究进展,展望未来黄土~(10)Be在环境示踪中的研究方向,希望能使读者在短时间内了解中国黄土~(10)Be研究的发展脉络。     

Persistent Unequal Sex Ratio in a Population of Grayling (Salmonidae) and Possible Role of Temperature Increase

In some fishes, water chemistry or temperature affects sex determination or creates sex‐specific selection pressures. The resulting population sex ratios are hard to predict from laboratory studies if the environmental triggers interact with other factors, whereas in field studies, singular observations of unusual sex ratios may be particularly prone to selective reporting. Long‐term monitoring largely avoids these problems. We studied a population of grayling (Thymallus thymallus) in Lake Thun, Switzerland, that has been monitored since 1948. Samples of spawning fish have been caught about 3 times/week around spawning season, and water temperature at the spawning site has been continuously recorded since 1970. We used scale samples collected in different years to determine the average age of spawners (for life‐stage specific analyses) and to identify the cohort born in 2003 (an extraordinarily warm year). Recent tissue samples were genotyped on microsatellite markers to test for genetic bottlenecks in the past and to estimate the genetically effective population size (N_e). Operational sex ratios changed from approximately 65% males before 1993 to approximately 85% males from 1993 to 2011. Sex ratios correlated with the water temperatures the fish experienced in their first year of life. Sex ratios were best explained by the average temperature juvenile fish experienced during their first summer. Grayling abundance is declining, but we found no evidence of a strong genetic bottleneck that would explain the apparent lack of evolutionary response to the unequal sex ratio. Results of other studies show no evidence of endocrine disruptors in the study area. Our findings suggest temperature affects population sex ratio and thereby contributes to population decline.

沿海城市PM10和PM2.5自动监测过程中质量浓度“倒挂”现象分析与成因探讨

2020年2—3月,位于福建沿海地区中部的莆田市在环境空气质量自动监测过程中出现了严重的PM_(10)和PM_(2.5)质量浓度"倒挂"现象,小时值"倒挂"率为19.86%,日均值"倒挂"率为16.67%。在高相对湿度和低风速气象条件下,颗粒物会出现严重的"倒挂"现象,"倒挂"过程中常伴随着颗粒物和气态污染物(SO_2、NO_2和CO)质量浓度的增加。因此,于2020年2月16日—3月26日开展了颗粒物自动监测和手工监测比对,并结合气象参数、气态污染物质量浓度,以及PM_(10)和PM_(2.5)中水溶性离子和液态水的含量特征,进一步探讨了莆田市颗粒物质量浓度"倒挂"的主要成因。研究表明,PM_(10)和PM_(2.5)自动监测仪器检测原理的差异是导致颗粒物质量浓度"倒挂"的重要原因之一,而气象条件(相对湿度、气温和风速等)、颗粒物质量浓度、颗粒物中主要吸湿组分(NO_3~-、SO_4~(2-)和NH_4~+)和液态水的含量也是颗粒物质量浓度"倒挂"的主要影响因素。莆田市2020年2—3月出现高频率"倒挂"现象是多重因素共同作用的结果,解决该问题需要同时考虑监测仪器检测原理、气象参数、颗粒物质量浓度和吸湿组分等的影响。     

Preventing behavioural interactions with a male facilitates sex change in female bluebanded gobies, Lythrypnus dalli

Sex change in marine teleost fishes is commonly regulated by social factors. In species that exhibit protogynous sex change, such as the bluebanded goby Lythrypnus dalli, the most dominant female typically initiates sex change when a male is removed from the social group. Females can use visual, chemical or tactile cues to assess the presence or absence of a male. The primary goal of our study was to determine whether the olfactory and visual presence of a male versus its behavioural interactions with females were important for mediating sex change. We exposed females to three different treatments: absence of a male, presence of a male that could physically interact with her and presence of a male behind a barrier that allowed visual and olfactory interactions but prohibited physical interactions. Sex change occurred in the absence of a male but not in the presence of a male that could physically interact with the female. The presence of a male behind the barrier did not prevent sex change but affected the timing of sex change. Season appeared to affect the latency to initiate male typical courtship, with a delay at the end of the reproductive season only when the male was present behind the barrier. We discuss the seasonal results in terms of L. dalli life history and the potential benefits and costs of changing sex late in the season in the presence or absence of aggressive reinforcement by the male. Our results identify direct behavioural interactions as an important proximate mechanism in the social regulation of sex change in L. dalli.
