General and specific combining abilities of larval and juvenile growth and viability estimated from natural oyster populations 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Diallel crosses of oysters from three geographically isolated natural populations were produced to evaluate the relative importance of genetic, maternal, and environmental effects on larval and juvenile growth and viability. Significant additive genetic effects were observed only in larval viability at Day 12 and larval shell length at Day 2. The presence of significant male and female mean square for larval viability (suggesting non-additive genetic variance) is consistent with fitness related characters. Important maternal effects were observed for the larval and juvenile shell length and viability characters. These female mean squares are probably affected by both real and spurious maternal effects and potential contributing influences are discussed. The performance of the crosses can be largely explained by two factors: parental performance and the heterotic gene effects. This is based on an apparent positive correlation of mean values between the parental populations and their crosses. The crosses' mean viability at the end of the larval phase was 14.0% lower than the pure matings and support a previous observation of lower heterozygote viability in the larval phase (Mallet and Haley, 1983b). 相似文献

A literature search and survey of Virginia, USA, campgrounds with RV pump-out stations were used to determine whether boat
holding-tank deodorant chemicals would have deleterious effects on marina septic systems or package treatment plants. Laboratory
studies reported in the literature indicate that these chemical additives could affect septic system function in three ways:
(1) active ingredients in the additives can impair sewage degradation in septic tanks, causing sludge buildup and overflow
of solids into the drainfield, (2) additive chemicals might enter the drainfield and, in high enough concentrations, reduce
the drainfield's ability to degrade waste, or (3) toxic additive chemicals might migrate from the drainfield to ground or
surface water. Laboratory studies also show that some ingredients added to holding tanks interfere with functioning of activated
sludge treatment process. Experience in the field and in other laboratory studies suggests that factors such as dilution of
treated waste with untreated waste and the characteristics of the sewage to be treated can reduce the possibility of damage
to septic and activated sludge systems. The campground owners surveyed indicated that they have few problems with their septic
systems in spite of the presence of chemical additives in the RV waste. However, most of them practice good septic system
maintenance and have devised other means of ensuring that their systems function efficiently. In addition, the survey indicates
that most Virginia campgrounds get only seasonal use (as would marinas in Virginia), allowing their systems to recover between
peak seasons. 相似文献

Effects of Timber Harvesting on Southern Appalachian Salamanders 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
We compared the species richness and abundance of salamanders on six recent clearcuts (< 10 years old) with that of salamanders on 34 mature forest stands (>50 years old) in southern Appalachian forests in western North Carolina, U.S.A. Catches of salamanders from plots in mature forest stands were about five times higher than those on recent clearcuts. Almost all species and major taxonomic groups of salamanders were adversely affected by timber removal. Mean number of species collected per plot was about twice as great in mature forest stands as in clearcuts. Analyses of stand age versus salamander catch for 47 plots indicate that 50–70 years are required for populations to return to predisturbance levels following cutting. We conservatively estimate that clearcutting in U.S. national forests in western North Carolina results in a loss of nearly 14 millton salamanders annually. It also is chronically reducing regional populations by more than a quarter of a billion salamanders (9%) below that which could be sustained if mature forests were not cut. 相似文献
