The occurrence of mate solicitation by virgin females was investigated in the butterfly Eurema
hecabe. Young (1-day-old) virgin females rarely showed mate solicitation to male model, however, old (at least 6-day-old) virgin
females frequently showed such flight. The duration of solicitation was significantly longer in older females than in younger
ones. The age-related behavioral change occurs with female oogenesis (Hiroki and Kato 1996), and such behavior may thus be
a result of female adaptation to maximize their fecundity.

Summary. The leaf beetle Ophraella communa infests
almost exclusively Ambrosia artemisiifolia in the fields of
Japan, even though it normally feeds on several Asteraceous
plants. A filter paper bioassay showed that the feeding of
O. communa is strongly stimulated by methanolic extracts of
A. artemisiifolia. The feeding stimulants for O. communa have
been isolated from methanolic extracts of A. artemisiifolia.
-Amyrin acetate, -amyrin acetate, 5-caffeoylquinic acid
(chlorogenic acid) and 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid from
A. artemisiifolia have been identified as feeding stimulants
for O. communa. Triterpenoid derivatives
(-amyrin acetate or -amyrin acetate) and caffeic acid derivatives (3,
5-dicaffoylquinic acid or 5-caffeoylquinic acid) showed
feeding stimulant activity when mixed together. 相似文献

Many planktonic organisms have adaptations such as floats or lighter substances to obtain buoyancy to help them remain in
the surface layer of the ocean where photosynthetic primary production occurs and food is most abundant. The almost totally
transparent eel larvae, called leptocephali, are a unique member of the planktonic community of the surface layer, but their
ecology and physiology are poorly understood. We conducted a comparative study on the specific gravity of planktonic animals
including 25 taxa of 7 phyla of marine invertebrates and 6 taxa of leptocephali (vertebrate) to gain a broad perspective on
the buoyancy of the eggs and larval stages of the Japanese eel. The specific gravity values of the various freshly caught
marine invertebrate taxa varied widely from 1.020 to 1.425, but leptocephali had some of the lowest values (1.028–1.043).
Artificially cultured live leptocephali had even greater buoyancies with specific gravities of 1.019–1.025 that were close
to or lower than seawater, and their buoyancy showed ontogenetic changes among the different early life history stages. Leptocephali
appear to have a unique mechanism of buoyancy control by chloride cells all over body surface through osmoregulation of body
fluid contained in the extracellular matrix of transparent gelatinous glycosaminoglycans filling their bodies. This adaptation
is likely a key factor for their survival by helping them to remain in the surface layer where food particles are the most
abundant, while being transparent for predator avoidance. The ontogenetic change in buoyancy of eel eggs, leptocephali and
glass eels likely enhances their larval survival, transport, and recruitment to terrestrial freshwater habitats. 相似文献

Establishing marine protected areas (MPAs) helps to restore and sustain marine and fishery resources, but in the Philippines only 20% of total MPAs are achieving their management objectives. We conducted a case study of a small MPA in Northern Philippines to understand socio-economic status and livelihoods of the fishermen stakeholders, and examine their attitudes and perceptions on marine resource values and conservation. Using an ordered probit model, we also investigated factors affecting these perceptions. We found a lower fish income ratio in higher income quartiles, a small share of local non-fishery income, and an apparent lack of other livelihood opportunities within the rural economy. The majority of fishermen had positive perceptions of the non-market value of marine resources, agreed with the need for MPAs, and perceived positive potential income benefit from MPAs. Level of education and fishing income were consistent significant positive determinants of these perceptions. Policy implications suggest: involving likely-to-be-displaced reef fishers in the crafting of management plans; conducting intensive research on appropriate and feasible livelihood options, for example, marine culture technologies; and designing explicit strategies to increase the propensity of coastal households to invest in children's education as a strategy for long-term sustainability of resource management. 相似文献

The effective diffusivity of uranium(VI) in Inada granite has been determined by through-diffusion. Experiments were performed at room temperature (20–25°C) in a 0.1 mol 1−1 KCl solution where uranium is present predominantly as the poorly sorbing UO22+. An effective diffusivity (De) of (3.6 ± 1.6) × 10−14 m2 s−1 was obtained, close to that for uranine (nonsorbing organic tracer), but one order of magnitude lower than those obtained for Sr2+ and NpO2+, and two orders of magnitude lower than that obtained for I−. According to well established theory, a proportional relationship exists between De and the diffusivity in the bulk of the solution (Dv). The effective diffusivity obtained in granite was not proportional to Dv. This agrees with results obtained for effective diffusivity in a Swedish granite. The ratio De/Dv was found to be not constant but increased with De or Dv. This result suggests a limit to the application of the theory. 相似文献

A three dimensional mass chromatography (TDMC), which is the extended method of mass chromatography, has been developed for the analysis of environmental chemicals. A considerable performance was suggested by the combination of TDMC to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-computer system. 相似文献

To analyze the effect of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) 118 on fish bone metabolism, we examined osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities, as well as plasma calcium levels, in the scales of PCB (118)-injected goldfish. In addition, effect of PCB (118) on osteoclasts and osteoblasts was investigated in vitro. Immature goldfish, in which the endogenous effects of sex steroids are negligible, were used. PCB (118) was solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide at a concentration of 10 ppm. At 1 and 2 days after PCB (118) injection (100 ng/g body weight), both osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities, and plasma calcium levels were measured. In an in vitro study, then, both osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities as well as each marker mRNA expression were examined. At 2 days, scale osteoclastic activity in PCB (118)-injected goldfish increased significantly, while osteoblastic activity did not change significantly. Corresponding to osteoclastic activity, plasma calcium levels increased significantly at 2 days after PCB (118) administration. Osteoclastic activation also occurred in the marker enzyme activities and mRNA expressions in vitro. Thus, we conclude that PCB (118) disrupts bone metabolism in goldfish both in vivo and in vitro experiments. 相似文献

Problems and constraints in Philippine municipal fisheries: The case of San Miguel Bay,Camarines Sur
The Philippine fisheries accounted for 3.7% of the gross national product at current prices. The sector employed about 990,872
persons. Of the divisions comprising the industry, municipal fisheries continued to contribute the largest share of fish production.
However, the sector is beset with problems, many of which are best examplified by the case of San Miguel Bay (SMB). This paper
presents the problems and constraints confronting SMB, a common property resource. This bay's open access condition has led
to various problems, such as declining fishery resources, depressed socioeconomic conditions, illegal fishing, increasing
population, and conflict among resource users. A poor marketing system, low level of fishing technology, fishermen's noncompliance
and authorities' lax enforcement of rules and regulations, as well as lack of alternative sources of income further characterize
the condition in SMB. Establishment of fishing rights, improvement of the marketing system, provision of alternative sources
of income, and improvement of fishing technology were some of the solutions suggested. One major constraint, however, is financial,
Comanagement complemented with other management tools has been proposed in addressing the problems in SMB. 相似文献
