Does the self-similar species distribution model lead to unrealistic predictions?

J. Harte et al. demonstrated that the power law form of the species-area relationship may be derived from a bisected, self-similar landscape and a community-level probability rule. Harte's self-similarity model has been widely applied in modeling species distributions. However, R. D. Maddux showed that this self-similarity model generates biologically unrealistic predictions. We resolve the Harte-Maddux debate by demonstrating that the problems identified by Maddux result from an assumption that the probability of occurrence of a species at one scale is independent of its probability of occurrence at the next. We refer to this as a "non-heritage assumption." By altering this assumption to one in which each species in the community has an occupancy status that is partially inherited across scales (a scale-heritage assumption), the predictions of the self-similarity model are neither mathematically inconsistent nor biologically unrealistic. Harte's self-similarity model remains an important framework for modeling species distributions. Our results illustrate the importance of considering patterns of species co-occurrence, and the way in which species occupancy patterns change with scale, when modeling species distributions.

酸化油水解废水脱酸处理工艺研究

酸化油是生产生物柴油的原料,其生产过程中产生的水解废水有机物含量高且具有强酸性,直接排放会严重污染环境。因此,对酸化油水解废水处理工艺进行研究有重要意义。通过对酸化油水解废水脱酸处理的条件及影响因素进行研究,并通过L9(34)正交实验确定了脱酸的最佳工艺条件。pH值为10,搅拌时间为15 min,温度为30℃是脱酸处理的最佳条件。     

深圳市SO2污染来源及其特征分析

以珠江三角洲地区2004年SO₂源排放清单、国家级气象站及深圳市气象站气象资料和空气质量监测数据为基础, 采用基于扩散模式的污染源解析技术对深圳市SO₂污染来源进行研究. 利用非稳态气象和空气质量(CALPUFF)模拟系统,模拟外来污染源及深圳市局地污染源排放扩散行为,定量计算2类污染源对深圳市SO₂浓度的贡献率,并分析其时空变化特征. 结果表明:珠江三角洲地区2004年SO₂排放总量为72.9×104 t, 深圳市局地排放量约4.65×104 t;深圳市SO₂污染是由局地污染源和外来污染源排放共同作用的结果, 对SO₂的贡献率分别约为75%和25%, 表明局地污染源排放是深圳市SO₂污染的最主要来源.      

Pheromone-based female mate choice and its effect on reproductive investment in a spitting spider

Numerous studies have focused on whether organisms can signal or perceive pheromones and use chemical signals in species and mate recognition. Recently, there have been an increasing number of studies investigating whether pheromones are used in mate choice. Yet, little attention has been paid in exploring the effects of pheromone-based mate choice on reproductive investment. We first tested this hypothesis by providing virgin Scytodes sp. females with a choice between two virgin males in the presence of chemical signals alone and found strong evidence of an odor-based mate preference. We then examined the consequences of the odor-based mate choice by allowing female Scytodes sp. that had previously made an odor-only mate choice to mate with preferred and non-preferred males, respectively. We measured the success of copulation, mortality of male, pre-oviposition interval, egg-sac weight, egg weight, fecundity, fertility, embryonic period, and size of offspring at hatching. Females that mated with the preferred males produced significantly heavier egg sacs that contained more and larger eggs with a greater fertility. Significantly more non-preferred males than preferred males were killed by spitting. However, pre-oviposition interval, embryonic period, and hatchling size were not affected by female mate choice. This study is the first to demonstrate that female spiders are able to regulate their highly valuable reproductive investment based solely on chemical signals.     

婴儿奶嘴提取液对大鼠肝原代细胞和HepG2细胞的毒性作用（Cytotoxicity of Extraction Liquids of Nipples on Primary Cultured Rat Hepatocytes and HepG2 Cells）

乳胶制品,如医用手套、婴儿奶嘴、避孕套等,存在着N-亚硝胺及亚硝基物质析出现象.对于乳胶制品中析出的N-亚硝胺及亚硝基物质,我国尚无法规加以限制,对其使用的安全性进行科学的分析更是鲜有报道.论文使用人工唾液盐溶液浸泡婴儿奶嘴,将提取液与体外培养的SD大鼠肝原代细胞、HepG2细胞作用一定时间,通过MTT实验和单细胞凝胶电泳实验,检测了婴儿奶嘴提取液对细胞存活率的影响和对DNA的损伤作用.结果显示:排除唾液盐溶液对细胞存活率的影响,婴儿奶嘴提取液与肝原代细胞和HepG2细胞作用24、48、72h,细胞存活率分别降至(85.22±13.77)%、(60.40±20.51)%、(79.28±20.08)%;(71.23±18.22)%、(69.51±16.96)%、(70.25±16.57)%,与阴性对照组(10%DEME)相比均有显著性差异(p<0.01).奶嘴提取液与肝原代细胞和HepG2细胞作用24h,尾长、Olive尾矩、尾DNA%、头尾比分别为(24.86±18.88)μm、6.60±5.99、(52.23±16.90)%、0.86±0.57;(17.48±10.87)μm、9.39±3.23、(57.94±20.94)%、0.83±0.67,显著高于阴性对照组和唾液盐溶液组(p<0.01).研究结果表明婴儿奶嘴提取液能够降低肝原代细胞和HepG2细胞存活率,且对DNA具有损伤作用.     

刈割利用对封育沙地土壤水分的影响

在腾格里沙漠南缘长期封育沙地区,通过一个生长季的定位观测,分析研究全刈割和刈割一半两种利用强度对封育沙地土壤水分生态的影响,结果表明：在天然植被围栏封育区和人工种植+围栏封育区,全刈割、半刈割处理下的土壤含水量与对照间均存在显著差异。植被对土壤水分的消耗量随着刈割利用强度的增加而减小,封育沙地0～80cm各层的土壤含水量总体上具有随刈割利用强度的增加而增大的变化趋势;在3-7月份沙地土壤水分逐步降低的过程中,全刈割处理、半刈割处理与对照间土壤水分含量的差异较大,而在7-9月份沙地土壤水分逐步回升的过程中,不同利用处理间土壤水分含量的差异则显著减小;不同利用强度下封育沙地土壤水分随深度增加均表现为先增加后降低的变化趋势,在0～30cm土壤层,离地表越近,土壤含水量越低,而在30～70cm土壤层,则表现为随深度增加而快速下降的趋势。不同强度的刈割处理与对照间各深度层的土壤含水量差异大多都表现为：全刈割处理﹥半刈割处理﹥不刈割处理。表明刈割利用对封育沙地土壤水分生态具有一定的调节改善作用。
