颗粒物分界层Mie散射激光雷达识别的sigmoid算法

基于成都市2013年6月~2015年5月期间由Mie散射激光雷达探测的大气消光系数廓线资料,发现混合层以上在颗粒物消光和分子消光之间一致存在一个S型的过渡区,利用sigmoid函数对此分布形态进行模拟,通过计算该函数上下曲率最大点所在的高度,据此提出了颗粒物分界层Mie散射激光雷达识别的sigmoid算法.针对该算法模拟效果的分析表明,颗粒物分界层过渡区附近大气消光系数理论廓线和实测廓线保持了高度的相关性,二者在春夏秋冬四季的相关系数（R）分别为0.9971±0.0052、0.9935±0.0167、0.9979±0.0038和0.9990±0.0021（均通过α=0.05的显著性检验）.基于sigmoid算法计算的颗粒物分界层过渡区与成都市温江站探空资料得到的逆温层之间存在很好的对应关系.     

崇明东滩湿地植被类型和沉积特征对土壤碳、氮分布的影响

滨海湿地碳、氮储量的分布可能受盐沼植被和外源沉积物的综合影响.本文以长江口典型滨海湿地为研究对象,分别在崇明东滩湿地北部、中部和南部设置3条样线,根据外源沉积物的区域特征研究了3种主要盐沼植被(芦苇(Phragmites australis)、互花米草(Spartina alterniflora)、海三棱藨草(Scirpus mariqueter))和土壤中的有机碳(TOC)、总氮(TN)的季节变化及空间特征.结果显示,崇明东滩湿地北、中部为淤积型滩涂,南部呈侵蚀态势.盐沼植被中芦苇和互花米草生物量TOC、TN累积量均显著高于海三棱藨草带.北、中样线的相同植被类型中的土壤TOC、TN显著高于南样线.高潮滩的芦苇带土壤TOC储量高于中潮滩的互花米草带,而互花米草带土壤TN储量略高于芦苇带,海三棱藨草带和光滩土壤TOC、TN储量最低.盐沼植被类型显著影响土壤各层次TOC和TN储量的分布,其中,0~10 cm层次储量受植被类型和表层外源沉积物空间特征的交互作用影响.     

Factors affecting in vitro plant regeneration of the critically endangered Mediterranean knapweed (Centaurea tchihatcheffii Fisch et. Mey)

Habitat destruction has resulted in the extinction of many plant species from the earth, and many more face extinction. Likely, the annual endemic Mediterranean knapweed (Centaurea tchihatcheffii) growing in the Golbasi district of Ankara, Turkey is facing extinction and needs urgent conservation. Plant tissue culture, a potentially useful technique for ex situ multiplication, was used for the restoration of this ill-fated plant through seed germination, micropropagation from stem nodes, and adventitious shoot regeneration from immature zygotic embryos. The seeds were highly dormant and very difficult to germinate. No results were obtained from the micropropagation of stem nodes. However, immature zygotic embryos showed the highest adventitious shoot regeneration on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, containing 1 mg l⁻¹ kinetin and 0.25 mg l⁻¹ NAA. Regenerated shoots were best rooted on MS medium containing 1 mg l⁻¹ IBA and transferred to the greenhouse for flowering and seed set. As such, the present work is the first record of in vitro propagation of critically endangered C. tchihatcheffii, using immature zygotic embryos, and is a step forward towards conservation of this indigenous species.     

Rhizobium sp.W33对不同植物吸收铜和根际分泌物的影响

通过盆栽试验,采用1株植物促生细菌Rhizobium sp.W33接种黑麦草、狼尾草、高羊茅、紫花苜蓿、猪屎豆、油菜和印度芥菜等7种不同植物,考察了Cu胁迫下菌株对植物生物量、Cu含量和根际土壤中分泌物的影响,并筛选根瘤菌-植物联合修复重金属污染土壤的组合体系,以期初步探明细菌-植物联合修复重金属污染土壤的机制.结果表明,接种Rhizobium sp.W33后,有5种植物的干重增加了11%~56%,增加幅度为印度芥菜黑麦草高羊茅狼尾草油菜,紫花苜蓿和猪屎豆的干重下降.黑麦草、狼尾草、高羊茅和猪屎豆根内Cu含量接近或超过1000mg·kg-1,Cu大量积累在植物根部.Rhizobium sp.W33能够显著促进黑麦草吸收Cu(p0.05),并提高其对Cu的富集系数和转移系数,增加根部和地上部的Cu总量.苹果酸是供试植物-细菌联合修复Cu污染土壤的主要有机酸种类,接种根瘤菌W33后黑麦草、狼尾草根际的苹果酸和水溶性糖含量降低,过氧化氢酶活性增加,其中,苹果酸、水溶性糖含量与黑麦草中Cu含量呈显著相关性(p0.05).因此,根瘤菌W33-黑麦草联合体系修复重金属Cu污染土壤的效果最好,具有应用于重金属Cu污染土壤稳定修复的潜力.     

河岸芦苇、茭白和香蒲植物带处理受污染河水中试研究

利用中试规模的河岸植物带(芦苇、茭白、香蒲)及无植物空白带对受污染河水进行处理,并对它们处理结果进行比较.结果表明,3种植物均能强化污染物的去除.其中芦苇带效果最好,它在整个运行期间对COD、NH₄⁺-N和TP的去除效果分别为43.7%、79.5%和75.2%.对出水溶解氧与水温进行了考察,结果表明植物带水体的溶解氧变化比无植物带小,水温比无植物带低.其中,芦苇带水的溶解氧最高,香蒲带水温和溶解氧最低.芦苇、茭白、香蒲带对河水中污染物的去除和改善水环境条件等方面表现了不同的特点,在河岸带修复时应尽可能保证水生植物的多样性.     

A new clade of archaic large-bodied predatory dinosaurs (Theropoda: Allosauroidea) that survived to the latest Mesozoic

Non-avian theropod dinosaurs attained large body sizes, monopolising terrestrial apex predator niches in the Jurassic–Cretaceous. From the Middle Jurassic onwards, Allosauroidea and Megalosauroidea comprised almost all large-bodied predators for 85 million years. Despite their enormous success, however, they are usually considered absent from terminal Cretaceous ecosystems, replaced by tyrannosaurids and abelisaurids. We demonstrate that the problematic allosauroids Aerosteon, Australovenator, Fukuiraptor and Neovenator form a previously unrecognised but ecologically diverse and globally distributed clade (Neovenatoridae, new clade) with the hitherto enigmatic theropods Chilantaisaurus, Megaraptor and the Maastrichtian Orkoraptor. This refutes the notion that allosauroid extinction pre-dated the end of the Mesozoic. Neovenatoridae includes a derived group (Megaraptora, new clade) that developed long, raptorial forelimbs, cursorial hind limbs, appendicular pneumaticity and small size, features acquired convergently in bird-line theropods. Neovenatorids thus occupied a 14-fold adult size range from 175 kg (Fukuiraptor) to approximately 2,500 kg (Chilantaisaurus). Recognition of this major allosauroid radiation has implications for Gondwanan paleobiogeography: The distribution of early Cretaceous allosauroids does not strongly support the vicariant hypothesis of southern dinosaur evolution or any particular continental breakup sequence or dispersal scenario. Instead, clades were nearly cosmopolitan in their early history, and later distributions are explained by sampling failure or local extinction.     

三峡库区城乡消落带人工植被恢复土壤放线菌多样性特征

为研究人工植被恢复后消落带土壤放线菌群落多样性特征,以三峡库区典型城市消落带重庆江北嘴大剧院消落带和乡村消落带忠县汝溪河流域消落带为研究区域,于2015年6月原位采集0~20 cm、20~40 cm、40~60 cm土壤,利用限制性末端长度多态性(terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism,T-RFLP)方法,对消落带人工恢复植被土壤不同土层的放线菌群落多样性进行研究.结果发现:(1)三峡库区城乡消落带人工植被恢复后的土壤放线菌多样性有差异,表现为城市消落带土壤放线菌多样性高于乡村消落带土壤(P0.05),特别是在表层土壤.(2)在城乡消落带中,林地土壤放线菌多样性高于草地,且在土层之间放线菌多样性无显著性差异.(3)三峡库区城乡消落带人工植被恢复后的土壤放线菌优势种有差异.(4)冗余分析(redundancy analysis,RDA)和蒙特卡罗置换检验(Monte-Carlo permutation test)表明,城市消落带中含水量、速效氮含量显著影响放线菌群落多样性;乡村消落带中土壤含水量、有机质、速效氮和速效钾含量显著影响放线菌群落多样性.结论表明在消落带人工植被修复后,城市消落带土壤放线菌多样性均高于乡村消落带,这有可能是人为干扰和土壤养分增加所致.     

Nectar production dynamics and sugar composition in two <Emphasis Type="Italic">Mucuna</Emphasis> species (Leguminosae,Faboideae) with different specialized pollinators

Nectar is secreted in particular rhythms throughout the lifespan of a flower, which allows determining the nectar production dynamics. This paper compares nectar features in Mucuna japira and Mucuna urens describing: dynamics of nectar production, floral response to nectar removal, resorption, nectar sugar composition, and variation in nectar sugar composition. M. japira inflorescence bears 12–21 yellow flowers, which are in anthesis for 7 days, whereas M. urens inflorescence bears 36–54 greenish flowers, but only 1–3 flowers are in anthesis simultaneously that last one night. Nectar volume and sugar concentration were measured, and the amount of sugar was estimated. Qualitative and quantitative nectar sugar composition was determined. Both species had a constant nectar sugar concentration (ca. 10% for M. japira and ca. 16% for M. urens) and secreted high volumes of nectar (ca. 340 μl per flower for M. japira and 310 μl per flower for M. urens), during 5 days for M. japira and 6 h for M. urens, but after the first removal, i.e., when flower opening mechanism is triggered, nectar production stops immediately. Nectar resorption occurred in both species. Nectar sugar composition showed some similarities between the species. Variation in nectar sugar composition occurred in both species. The Mucuna species are dependent on their pollinators to produce fruits and seeds, and they have different strategies to promote the necessary interaction with birds or bats, especially related to nectar and flower characteristics.

互花米草入侵对胶州湾湿地土壤磷赋存形态的影响

为探讨互花米草入侵对滨海湿地土壤磷循环的影响,基于时空互易原则,选择胶州湾湿地互花米草区（SA区）和光滩区（MF区）为研究靶区,分析了互花米草入侵后湿地土壤中总磷（TP）、无机磷（IP）及其组分含量的差异性以及影响因素.结果表明,互花米草入侵后湿地土壤中TP （472.70 mg ·kg^-1）和IP （239.00 mg ·kg^-1）平均含量明显高于入侵前光滩区TP （386.19 mg ·kg^-1）和IP （212.68 mg ·kg^-1）含量,增幅分别为22.40%和12.38%.研究区无机磷组分以钙磷（Ca-P）和铁磷（Fe-P）为主,分别占IP的45%~61%和31%~49%.互花米草入侵后,10~30 cm层土壤Ca-P含量显著降低（P<0.05）,7月尤为明显;Fe-P含量显著增加（P<0.05）,0~40 cm土壤层含量高于40~60 cm层（P<0.05）,并且7月在10~40 cm土壤表现出明显富集现象.通过结构方程模型发现互花米草入侵后有机质（OM）对TP和Fe-P有显著正向影响（P<0.01）,标准化路径系数分别为0.775和0.724.入侵后Fe-P对Ca-P有显著负效应（P<0.01）,标准化路径系数为-0.435.结果发现互花米草入侵总体增加了湿地土壤磷含量,同时促进了Ca-P向Fe-P转化,提高了湿地磷的生物利用性.     

巢湖十五里河不同水力特性区沉积物及间隙水营养盐的分布特征

为揭示水力特性对小河流沉积物及间隙水中氮磷营养盐分布特征的影响,在巢湖十五里河河道上,选择支流交汇处、弯道淤积处、弯道冲刷处、河岸坍落处、水生植物生长区、平直河段、河内浅滩等7种水力特性类型,采集深度约40cm的沉积物柱状样,并按2cm厚度现场分层,得到136个样品.在实验室分析测试的基础上,解析沉积物与间隙水氮磷垂直剖面特征及沉积物-上覆水界面氮磷营养盐的源/汇关系,拟合间隙水剖面NH＋4-N、NO-3-N和PO3-4-P浓度,并对采样点位进行聚类分析.研究结果表明：不同水力特性区沉积物氮磷含量差异明显;弯道冲刷处和河岸坍塌处间隙水剖面NH＋4-N、NO-3-N和PO3-4-P浓度相对较低,且垂直变化不大,但在水生植物生长区则变化明显;不同水力特性区的水-土界面NH＋4-N、NO-3-N源/汇关系,具有很好的一致性,而PO3-4-P则差异明显;在沉积深度0～16cm范围内,除水生植物生长区外,其它各水力特性区间隙水NH＋4-N、NO-3-N和PO3-4-P浓度在垂直剖面基本上都可以借助指数函数y=exp（a＋bx＋cx2）拟合,这与湖泊、水库等宽阔水域存在一定差异.     

The Triassic dicynodont Kombuisia (Synapsida, Anomodontia) from Antarctica, a refuge from the terrestrial Permian-Triassic mass extinction

Fossils from the central Transantarctic Mountains in Antarctica are referred to a new species of the Triassic genus Kombuisia, one of four dicynodont lineages known to survive the end-Permian mass extinction. The specimens show a unique combination of characters only present in this genus, but the new species can be distinguished from the type species of the genus, Kombuisia frerensis, by the presence of a reduced but slit-like pineal foramen and the lack of contact between the postorbitals. Although incomplete, the Antarctic specimens are significant because Kombuisia was previously known only from the South African Karoo Basin and the new specimens extend the taxon’s biogeographic range to a wider portion of southern Pangaea. In addition, the new finds extend the known stratigraphic range of Kombuisia from the Middle Triassic subzone B of the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone into rocks that are equivalent in age to the Lower Triassic Lystrosaurus Assemblage Zone, shortening the proposed ghost lineage of this taxon. Most importantly, the occurrence of Kombuisia and Lystrosaurus mccaigi in the Lower Triassic of Antarctica suggests that this area served as a refuge from some of the effects of the end-Permian extinction. The composition of the lower Fremouw Formation fauna implies a community structure similar to that of the ecologically anomalous Lystrosaurus Assemblage Zone of South Africa, providing additional evidence for widespread ecological disturbance in the extinction’s aftermath.     

乌江梯级水库水陆交错区湿地植物群落分布格局及多样性初探

水库修建对湿地植物多样性和分布格局的影响是目前研究的热点。梯级水库由于开发时间的不同而成为理想的利用空间代替时间的研究平台,即可以通过不同开发时间水库植物群落结构的横向比较,从时间尺度上评估水电开发对水陆交错区湿地植物分布格局的影响。本研究选取乌江上游代表性的8座梯级水库,在其水陆交错区通过建立3条不同样带,比较分析不同水库间以及不同样带间湿地植物多样性和分布格局,探讨水库修建对湿地植物格局的影响。调查结果表明,乌江干流8个水库湿地植物共84科199属247种,其中物种最多的科为禾本科(Gramineae),共计24种,物种最多的属为蓼属(Polygonum)共计6种,优势物种分别为白茅(Imperata cylindrica)、盐肤木(Rhus chinensis)、金樱子(Rosa laevigata)、小白酒草(Conyza canadensis)和狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon)。就湿地植物分布格局而言,乌江梯级水库植物群落呈现出明显的带状分布格局,第一条样带即水库消落区植物多样性与非消落区(第二、第三条样带)差异明显,消落区不同样点间多样性与水库海拔、水库修建时间、水库坡度密切相关,后续湿地植物的研究将重点关注梯级水库的消落区。     

互花米草入侵对胶州湾潮滩湿地硫素时空分布的影响

选择胶州湾互花米草潮滩(入侵前为光滩)和光滩为研究对象,研究了互花米草入侵下胶州湾潮滩湿地土壤总硫(Total sulfur, TS)、有效硫(Available sulfur, AS)及互花米草各器官TS含量的时空分布特征及其影响因素.结果表明,互花米草入侵后湿地0～60 cm土壤TS((1.53±0.24) g·kg~(-1)))和AS((0.75±0.04) g·kg~(-1))的平均含量明显高于入侵前光滩湿地TS((1.13±0.09) g·kg~(-1))和AS((0.53±0.02) g·kg~(-1))的平均含量(n=54,p0.05),增幅分别为35.40%和41.51%.其中,互花米草入侵后湿地30～50 cm土层TS含量和20～60 cm土层AS含量较入侵前的光滩湿地大幅增加(n=9,p0.05).与光滩相比,6、10、12月互花米草潮滩土壤TS含量增幅分别为14.53%、67.86%、22.52%,AS含量增幅分别为48.72%、39.06%、50.98%.逐步线性回归分析结果表明,互花米草入侵后导致土壤EC、有机质的改变是影响其土壤AS含量分布的关键因素.互花米草TS含量均值为(2.73±0.39) g·kg~(-1),6月植物TS含量与10月、12月植物TS含量之间均存在显著性差异(n=9,p0.05),硫(S)累积量最高值出现在10月,同种器官内6月根、茎、叶的硫累积系数(Accumulation Factor of sulfur, AF_S)均高于10月、12月.研究表明,互花米草入侵总体增加了土壤硫库储量,提高了湿地土壤AS的供给能力,但增加了其时空变异性,AS在不同季节差异较大.     

水库泄洪闸下溪流深潭氮磷营养盐滞留特征及动力学模拟

为解析水库泄洪闸下溪流深潭氮磷营养盐滞留特征,选择NaBr为保守示踪剂,分别以NH₄Cl和KH₂PO₄为添加营养盐,在合肥板桥河源头溪流开展野外示踪实验,据此估算氨氮（NH₄⁺）、磷酸盐（PO₄^3-）营养螺旋指标,识别主流区和暂态存储区NH₄⁺、PO₄^3-滞留贡献水平,模拟深潭地貌的氮磷吸收动力学特征.结果表明,深潭具有较好的氮磷滞留潜力,且对PO₄^3-的滞留潜力超过NH₄⁺;暂态存储区对NH₄⁺的滞留贡献率平均为91.49%,表明NH₄⁺滞留主要发生在暂态存储区;主流区对PO₄^3-的滞留贡献率平均为96.09%,意味着主流区是PO₄^3-滞留的主要场所;Michaelis-Menten（M-M）方程可以较好的模拟深潭氮磷滞留动力学效应,模拟得到的最大吸收速率U_max-NH₄、U_max-PO₄均值分别为0.48、0.08 mg·m^-2·s^-1,半饱和常数K_m-NH₄、K_m-PO₄均值分别为0.26、0.19 mg·L^-1.     

Did ice-age bovids spread tuberculosis?

Pathognomonic metacarpal undermining is a skeletal pathology that has been associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis in bovids. Postcranial artiodactyl, perissodactyl, and carnivore skeletons were examined in major university and museum collections of North America and Europe for evidence of this and other pathology potentially attributable to tuberculosis. Among nonproboscidean mammals from pre-Holocene North America, bone lesions indicative of tuberculosis were restricted to immigrant bovids from Eurasia. No bone lesions compatible with diagnosis of tuberculosis were found in large samples of other pre-Holocene (164 Oligocene, 397 Miocene, and 1,041 Plio–Pleistocene) North American mammals, including 114 antilocaprids. Given the unchanged frequency of bovid tubercular disease during the Pleistocene, it appears that most did not die from the disease but actually reached an accommodation with it (as did the mastodon) (Rothschild and Laub 2006). Thus, they were sufficiently long-lived to assure greater spread of the disease. The relationships of the proboscidean examples need further study, but present evidence suggests a Holarctic spread of tuberculosis during the Pleistocene, with bovids acting as vectors. While the role of other animals in the transmission of tuberculosis could be considered, the unique accommodation achieved by bovids and mastodons makes them the likely “culprits” in its spread.

<Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">Osedax</Emphasis> borings in fossil marine bird bones

The bone-eating marine annelid Osedax consumes mainly whale bones on the deep-sea floor, but recent colonization experiments with cow bones and molecular age estimates suggesting a possible Cretaceous origin of Osedax indicate that this worm might be able grow on a wider range of substrates. The suggested Cretaceous origin was thought to imply that Osedax could colonize marine reptile or fish bones, but there is currently no evidence that Osedax consumes bones other than those of mammals. We provide the first evidence that Osedax was, and most likely still is, able to consume non-mammalian bones, namely bird bones. Borings resembling those produced by living Osedax were found in bones of early Oligocene marine flightless diving birds (family Plotopteridae). The species that produced these boreholes had a branching filiform root that grew to a length of at least 3 mm, and lived in densities of up to 40 individuals per square centimeter. The inclusion of bird bones into the diet of Osedax has interesting implications for the recent suggestion of a Cretaceous origin of this worm because marine birds have existed continuously since the Cretaceous. Bird bones could have enabled this worm to survive times in the Earth’s history when large marine vertebrates other than fish were rare, specifically after the disappearance of large marine reptiles at the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event and before the rise of whales in the Eocene.
