Predator cues and an herbicide affect activity and emigration in an agrobiont wolf spider

Animals use chemical cues for signaling between species. However, anthropogenic chemicals might interrupt this natural chemical information flow, with potential impacts on predator-prey interactions. Our goal was to explore how Buccaneer® Plus, a common herbicide similar to Round-up® (active ingredient glyphosate), affected the interactions between intraguild predators. The wolf spider Pardosa milvina (Hentz, 1844) is numerically dominant in agricultural systems across the eastern United States, and often falls prey to or competes with the larger wolf spider, Hogna helluo (Walckenaer, 1837) and/or the carabid beetle, Scarites quadriceps (Chaudoir, 1843). We tested the effects of chemical cues from these intraguild predators and exposure to herbicide on the activity, emigration, and survival of P. milvina using a full-factorial laboratory experiment. Both predator cues and herbicide led to a decrease in movement by P. milvina. However, although H. helluo cues alone decreased movement, S. quadriceps cues only decreased movement when combined with herbicide. These results indicate that predation risk and herbicide application likely interact in complex ways to affect the movement of a major arthropod predator in agricultural systems, and thus may have complex effects on the food web.     

Real-time indoor and outdoor measurements of black carbon in an occupied house: an examination of sources

Black carbon (BC) was measured every 5 min for two years (May 1998-May 2000) inside and immediately outside a northern Virginia house (suburban Washington, DC) occupied by two nonsmokers. Two aethalometers, which measure BC by optical transmission through a quartz fiber tape, were employed indoors and outdoors. Meteorological parameters were obtained on an hourly basis from nearby Dulles airport. Indoor activities were recorded to identify indoor sources such as combustion activities, which occurred 9% of the time during the first year and 4% of the time during the second year. At times without indoor sources, indoor/outdoor BC ratios averaged 0.53 in the first year and 0.35 in the second year. The main outdoor source of BC was the general regional background, contributing 83-84% of the total during each of the two years. Morning rush hour traffic contributed 8-9% of the total BC. An evening peak in the fall and winter, thought to include contributions from wood burning, was responsible for approximately 8% of the annual average BC concentration. The main indoor sources of BC were cooking and candle burning, contributing 16 and 31%, respectively, of the annual average indoor concentrations in the two years. Relative humidity (RH) affected the outdoor aethalometer in both years. An artifact associated with the tape advance was noted for the aethalometer, but a correction factor was developed that reduced the associated error by a factor of 2.     

Performance evaluation of an in situ nitrous acid measurement system and continuous measurement of nitrous acid in an indoor environment

Nitrous acid (HONO) may cause adverse effects to mucous membranes and lung function when people are exposed to higher HONO concentrations than those present in typical indoor residential environments. Therefore, determination of HONO concentration in indoor environments is required to investigate occurrences of high HONO levels. In this work, a high-time-resolution measurement system was utilized to better understand the levels and dynamic behavior of HONO in an indoor environment. The performance of the in situ HONO analyzer applied to this work was evaluated using a 12-hr integrated annular denuder technique under ambient conditions. Both methods for the measurements of HONO were in good agreement, with a regression slope of 0.84, an intercept of 0.09, and correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.67. Indoor HONO and nitrogen oxide concentrations were also observed for approximately 5 days in winter in the living room of an apartment that had a gas range for cooking in the kitchen. Investigation of the relationships among nitric oxide (NO), nitrite (NO2), and HONO concentrations suggests that HONO production during combustion could be the result of direct emission, whereas the heterogeneous NO2 chemistry during the background period and after combustion was the possible pathway of HONO production. Controlled combustion experiments, performed at a burning rate of 50% valve setting, show peak HONO concentrations during the unvented combustion to be approximately 8-10 times higher than background levels depending on the time of day. At a burning rate setting of 50%, the peak concentration of HONO during unvented combustion was found to be 33-37% higher than those from "weak" (airflow = 340 m3/hr) and "strong" (airflow = 540 m3/hr) vented combustions. The decay rate of the HONO concentrations for the unvented combustion conditions was approximately 2-fold higher in the daytime than in the nighttime and significantly less than those of NO and NO2.     

Production and release of dimethylsulphide from an estuary in Portugal

The distribution of dimethylsuphide (DMS) and its precursor dimethylsulphoniopropionate, in both particulate (DMSP_p) and dissolved fractions (DMSP_d) was surveyed along estuarine water profiles of Canal de Mira (Ria de Aveiro, Portugal), on 45 occasions during one year. The field campaigns revealed pronounced gradients, which were to some extent interpreted with reference to supporting hydrographic parameters like salinity, temperature and chlorophyll a. Surface water concentrations showed a clear seasonal variation with peak values during the warmer months. Mean summer concentrations for DMS, DMSP_p and DMSP_d, were, respectively, a factor of 1.8, 1.9 and 2.9 times higher than winter concentrations. Surface water concentration was the main factor controlling DMS emissions into the atmosphere, which were estimated to be, as a mean, 5.4 and 27.3 nmol m^-2 h^-1 for winter and summer, respectively. In addition, DMS fluxes from two intertidal mud flat sites in Canal de Mira were examined monthly over a year. Average emission rates were a factor of 2–5 times higher than those estimated for estuarine waters and revealed strong seasonal variations, with summer peaks apparently related to ambient temperature. The relative contribution of estuarine waters and mud flats for local DMS budget is discussed in terms of tidal cycles and exposed surface area.     

Chemistry and Meteorology in an Air Pollution Episode

Strikingly sharp vertical boundaries occasionally develop between marine air polluted with photochemical smog and clean, dry air. Records of a particular incident which occurred in Riverside, Calif., shed some light on the role of wind and temperature structure in creating this unusual condition.     

Attainment and Maintenance of Particulate Standards in an Industrialized Region

The problems and priorities of air quality maintenance planning will depend in large part on the specific characteristics of a given region. For highly industrialized areas, maintenance planning for total suspended particulate matter (TSP) will pose an especially difficult challenge because of limitations in emissions inventories, modeling capabilities, air quality data, control technology assessments, and current regulatory policy.     

Degradation of isoxaben in soils and an aqueous system.

The degradation of isoxaben [N-[3-(1-ethyl-1-methylpropyl)-5-isoxazolyl]-2,6-dimethoxybenzamide] was studied in soil and in an aqueous system. Soil studies were conducted in Erlenmeyer flasks (treated with 1 microg/g isoxaben) and mineralization studies in Biometer flasks (treated with 1 microg/g unlabeled and 14C-isoxaben) incubated at 23 C. Degradation in the aqueous system was performed in Erlenmeyer flasks under aerobic and anaerobic conditions incubated at 23 degrees C. Incubation mixtures were extracted at selected times and analyzed for isoxaben and degradation products by HPLC with product identification confirmed by GC-MS. After 8 weeks, 78% and 23% of the total isoxaben disappeared in nonsterile and sterile soils, respectively. After 12 weeks, approximately 1% of the labeled isoxaben was recovered as CO2 in the Biometer flask experiments; no volatile products were detected, and 5% and 33% of the total radioactivity was recovered from the nonsterile and sterile soils, respectively. In the aquatic system after 8 weeks, isoxaben had decreased from 1microg/g to 0.1 and 0.004 microg/g under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. Degradation products detected from the soil studies were 3-nitrophthalic acid and 4-methoxyphenol, and 3-nitrophthalic acid in the aqueous system studies. Microbial activity was considered to be a major factor in the degradation of isoxaben in this study.     

Flow and dispersion in an urban cubical cavity

Flow and dispersion in an urban cubical cavity are numerically investigated using a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANS) model with the renormalization group (RNG) k–? turbulence closure model. The urban cubical cavity is surrounded by flank walls that are parallel to the streamwise direction, called end-walls, as well as upstream and downstream walls. A primary vortex and secondary vortices including end-wall vortices are formed in the cavity. Because of the end-wall drag effect, the averaged mean-flow kinetic energy in the cavity is smaller than that in an urban street canyon that is open in the along-canyon direction. A trajectory analysis shows that the end-wall vortices cause fluid particles to move in the spanwise direction, indicating that flow in the cavity is essentially three-dimensional. The iso-surfaces of the Okubo–Weiss criterion capture cavity vortices well. The pollutant concentration is high near the bottom of the upstream side in the case of continuous pollutant emission, whereas it is high near the center of the primary vortex in the case of instantaneous pollutant emission. To get some insight into the degree of pollutant escape from the cavity according to various meteorological factors, extensive numerical experiments with different ambient wind speeds and directions, inflow turbulence intensities, and cavity-bottom heating intensities are performed. For each experiment, we calculate the time constant, which is defined as the time taken for the pollutant concentration to decrease to e^?1 of its initial value. The time constant decreases substantially with increasing ambient wind speed, and tends to decrease with increasing inflow turbulence intensity and cavity-bottom heating intensity. The time constant increases as the ambient wind direction becomes oblique. High ambient wind speed is found to be the most crucial factor for ventilating the cavity, thus improving air quality in an urban cubical cavity.
