Although numerous studies have focused on the seasonal dynamics of riverine zooplankton, little is known about its short-term variation. In order to examine the effects of sampling frequency and sampling effort, microcrustacean samples were collected at daily intervals between 13 June and 21 July of 2007 in a parapotamal side arm of the river Danube, Hungary. Samples were also taken at biweekly intervals from November 2006 to May 2008. After presenting the community dynamics, the effect of sampling effort was evaluated with two different methods; the minimal sample size was also estimated. We introduced a single index (potential dynamic information loss; to determine the potential loss of information when sampling frequency is reduced. The formula was calculated for the total abundance, densities of the dominant taxa, adult/larva ratios of copepods and for two different diversity measures. Results suggest that abundances may experience notable fluctuations even within 1 week, as do diversities and adult/larva ratios. 相似文献

The present study describes an association between adverse outcome in the twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) and pulmonary stenosis or reactive right ventricular hypertrophy. Six discordant monozygotic twin pregnancies with TTTS are described. Ventricular hypertrophy and atrioventricular valvular regurgitation occurred in all the recipient twins with pulmonary valvular stenosis in three cases and infundibular stenosis in one case. The recipient twin in one pair and both twins in another pregnancy died as a consequence of immaturity but the remaining twins all survived. Surgical intervention was required in one baby for valvular pulmonary stenosis. Our observations suggest that elevated blood pressure in the transfusion recipient may play an important role in pathogenesis. We hypothesise that both pulmonary stenosis and right chamber hypertrophy are secondary to hemodynamic changes. Although we have found valvular pulmonary stenosis in three recipients and infundibular stenosis in only one, this (obstruction to outflow) could be due to right chamber hypertrophy.

Common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) parasitism drastically reduces the reproductive success of their hosts and selects for host discrimination of cuckoo eggs.
In a second stage of anti-parasite adaptation, once cuckoos can lay eggs that mimic those of their hosts, a high uniformity
of host egg appearance within a clutch may favour cuckoo egg discrimination. Comparative evidence provides indirect support
for this hypothesis although experimental support is currently lacking. Here, we studied the effect of experimentally decreased
uniformity of host egg appearance on cuckoo egg discrimination by great reed warbler (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) hosts in a population in which long-term cuckoo parasitism has led to high levels of cuckoo–host egg mimesis. We manipulated
host clutch uniformity by adding extra spots to fresh host eggs just after they were laid. Rejection of non-mimetic experimental
eggs added to these nests was compared with those in control nests in which uniformity was not altered. Previously, by over-painting
real spots in a control group of nests, we showed a negligible effect of our paints on hosts’ perception of their eggs. We
show that for the great reed warbler, non-mimetic experimental eggs were relatively more tolerated in experimental nests,
i.e. with lower uniformity (40%) than in control nests (5%). This is the first experimental study, to our knowledge, which
demonstrates a reduced discrimination of foreign eggs as a consequence of an increase of egg phenotypes variation perception
in a cuckoo host. 相似文献

With the advent of hybrid electric vehicles, computer-based vehicle simulation becomes more useful to the engineer and designer trying to optimize the complex combination of control strategy, power plant, drive train, vehicle, and driving conditions. With the desire to incorporate emissions as a design criterion, researchers at West Virginia University have developed artificial neural network (ANN) models for predicting emissions from heavy-duty vehicles. The ANN models were trained on engine and exhaust emissions data collected from transient dynamometer tests of heavy-duty diesel engines then used to predict emissions based on engine speed and torque data from simulated operation of a tractor truck and hybrid electric bus. Simulated vehicle operation was performed with the ADVISOR software package. Predicted emissions (carbon dioxide [CO2] and oxides of nitrogen [NO(x)]) were then compared with actual emissions data collected from chassis dynamometer tests of similar vehicles. This paper expands on previous research to include different driving cycles for the hybrid electric bus and varying weights of the conventional truck. Results showed that different hybrid control strategies had a significant effect on engine behavior (and, thus, emissions) and may affect emissions during different driving cycles. The ANN models underpredicted emissions of CO2 and NO(x) in the case of a class-8 truck but were more accurate as the truck weight increased. 相似文献

Host intra-clutch variation,cuckoo egg matching and egg rejection by great reed warblers 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:2
Prevailing theory predicts that lower levels of intra-clutch variation in host eggs facilitate the detection of brood parasitism.
We assessed egg matching using both human vision and UV-VIS spectrophotometry and then followed the nest fate of great reed
warblers naturally parasitised by European cuckoos. Rejection was predicted by the following three variables: matching between
cuckoo and host eggs on the main chromatic variable defined by principal components analysis of the egg spectra (which has
a strong loading in the UV); the number of host eggs in the nest; and human estimates of intra-clutch variation. The first
variable is not correlated to human estimates of matching, which do not predict rejection. In line with another recent study,
rejection rates were predicted by higher levels of intra-clutch variation in the host eggs, suggesting that higher rather
than lower levels of intra-clutch variation can facilitate the discrimination of cuckoo eggs by hosts. We suggest that the
importance of intra-clutch variation is context dependent, with intra-clutch variation being important when there is good
matching between the host and the cuckoo eggs. Our results also suggest that both spectrometric and human visual assessments
of egg matching and intra-clutch variation are prudent: the former provide the best method of estimating reflectance variation,
whereas the latter include some assessment of patterns of maculation. 相似文献
