According to the Evolutionary Theory of the Family, the replacement of one pair-member by an intruder may have profound consequences
for the existing offspring. Step-parents are expected to provide less care towards unrelated immatures than to genetic offspring,
unless caring also serves as a mating strategy. Furthermore, because an intruder will be a potential mate for opposite-sexed
offspring, relationships between offspring and same-sex parents are predicted to deteriorate. To test these predictions, we
studied an Azara’s owl monkey (Aotus azarai) population in Argentina exhibiting serial monogamy and bi-parental care. Since 1997, we have collected demographic data
from ca. 25 groups and inter-individual distance data from ca. 150 marked individuals. First, we compared survival and dispersal
age of immatures in groups with and without replacements to investigate whether parental care serves as a mating strategy.
Second, we compared sex-specific age at dispersal for groups with replacement of opposite-sex parents, same-sex parents, or
in stable groups in order to test whether relationships between offspring and same-sex parents deteriorated after the replacement
of the other parent. Survival and dispersal ages were not negatively associated with replacements, suggesting that male care
might serve, at least partly, as a mating strategy. The time lag between a replacement and the subsequent dispersal of female
offspring was greater if the intruder was a male, while the offspring and same-sex parents were less often nearest neighbors
after replacements than before. Our results suggest that family disruption through the replacement of a parent is not associated
with decreased offspring survival or early dispersion of juveniles, but deteriorates parent–offspring relationships. 相似文献

Following Hartmann and Apaolaza-Ibáñez’ [(2009). Green advertising revisited. Conditioning virtual nature experiences. International Journal of Advertising, 28(4), 715–739] approach, this experimental study compares the effects of three types of green print ads: a non-green ad, a functional green ad promoting environmental product attributes, and a combined nature ad featuring a pleasant nature image in addition to functional attributes. We extend prior research by simultaneously testing moderating and mediating mechanisms to explain brand attitudes and purchase intention. Using a quota sample of 456 consumers, findings suggest that the functional ad enhances perceptions of environmental brand benefits, which positively affect purchase intention partially mediated by brand attitudes. The combined nature ad, by contrast, activates an additional emotional process of virtually experiencing nature which positively influences brand attitudes and purchase intention beyond perceptions of environmental brand benefits. The effects of the combined nature ad are even stronger for highly involved consumers. 相似文献

Triplefin fishes reach their greatest diversity in New Zealand with 26 endemic species, and habitat diversification has been
implicated as a key factor in the divergence of this group. Despite this, it is unknown whether species-specific habitat patterns
in these sympatric fishes are established by passive processes (e.g. differential mortality) or by habitat selection during
settlement. We investigate this question by comparing the habitat associations of new recruits with those of conspecific adults
in five species. In addition, the amount of variation in habitat use of conspecific recruits and adults was calculated to
identify ontogenetic shifts in habitat association. The results indicated that while there were some differences between recruit
and adult habitats, these differences were small in magnitude and habitat use of new recruits was similar to that of adult
conspecifics. This finding was further supported by the small difference in variation of habitat use between conspecific recruits
and adults. The study suggests that new recruits are actively involved in the selection of habitats at settlement and maintain
the use of these throughout demersal life. Habitat use in these territorial species has a large influence on mate choice,
thus habitat selection by new recruits would provide a powerful mechanism for pre-zygotic isolation between individuals with
different habitat preferences. Together these findings support the notion that habitat diversification has been a major component
in the radiation of this sympatric group. 相似文献

15 N of bulk sediment, organic carbon concentrations, and abundances of exoskeletons of Bosmina
longispina
maritima in the sediment, the data are used to evaluate significant sources of nitrogen in the food web over the past century. Nitrogen
isotopic composition of bulk sediments ranges from 2.5 to 4.5?, that of exokeletons varies between 0.4 and 6.2?. The two are
positively correlated. A marked increase in the abundance of Bosmina since 1965 (from less than 500 specimen to more than 5000 specimen cm3 of sediment) is correlated with a significant increase in sedimentary organic carbon concentrations (from 4% to more than
10%). The isotopic data do not identify increased land-derived nitrate as the dominant nitrogen source fuelling the increase.
Instead, we postulate that nitrogen fixation by diazotrophic bacteria has been one of the larger sources of nitrogen in the
Baltic Sea, as it is today.

Time and pH-dependent sorption of the veterinary antimicrobial sulfathiazole to clay minerals and ferrihydrite 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Substantial amounts of sulfonamides, ionizable, polar veterinary antimicrobials, may reach the environment by spreading of manure. Sorption to soils and sediments is a crucial but not sufficiently understood process influencing the environmental fate of sulfonamides. Therefore, we investigated sorption of sulfathiazole to clay minerals (montmorillonite, illite) and ferrihydrite for varying pH values and two contact times (1d, 14 d) under sterile conditions. Results were compared to sulfathiazole sorption to organic sorbents. Sulfathiazole sorption to inorganic sorbents exhibited pronounced pH dependence consistent with sorbate speciation and sorbent charge properties. While sulfathiazole cations were most important for sorption to clay minerals, followed by neutral species, ferrihydrite was a specific anion sorbent, showing significant sorption only between pH 5.5-7. Experiments revealed a substantial increase of sorption with time for ferrihydrite (pH 5.5-7) and illite (pH<5.5). Reasons may be disaggregation of clay minerals and, for ferrihydrite, diffusion and sorption of sulfathiazole in micropores. Independent of contact time and pH, sorption to inorganic sorbents was more than an order of magnitude lower than to organic sorbents. This implies that in many topsoils and sediments inorganic sorbents play a minor role. Our results highlight the need to account for contact time and speciation when predicting sulfonamide sorption in the environment. 相似文献

This study reveals the first analyses of the composition and activity of the microbial community of a saline CO2 storage aquifer. Microbial monitoring during CO2 injection has been reported. By using fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), we have shown that the microbial community was strongly influenced by the CO2 injection. Before CO2 arrival, up to 6 × 106 cells ml−1 were detected by DAPI staining at a depth of 647 m below the surface. The microbial community was dominated by the domain Bacteria that represented approximately 60% to 90% of the total cell number, with Proteobacteria and Firmicutes as the most abundant phyla comprising up to 47% and 45% of the entire population, respectively. Both the total cell counts as well as the counts of the specific physiological groups revealed quantitative and qualitative changes after CO2 arrival. Our study revealed temporal outcompetition of sulphate-reducing bacteria by methanogenic archaea. In addition, an enhanced activity of the microbial population after five months CO2 storage indicated that the bacterial community was able to adapt to the extreme conditions of the deep biosphere and to the extreme changes of these atypical conditions. 相似文献

Prenatal molecular genetic diagnosis for Noonan syndrome I is reported. Noonan syndrome was suspected because of large cystic hygroma colli, massive pleural effusion and ascites at 23 weeks of gestation and normal karyotype (46,XX). DNA was prepared from amnion cells and screened for mutations in the PTPN11 gene. In exon 8, a missense mutation (S285F) was found. Delivery was induced at 33 weeks of gestation because of silent cardiotocography (CTG). Despite immediate drainage of the hydrothorax, mechanical ventilation was insufficient and the child died 9 h after birth due to severe pulmonary hypoplasia. Pleural punctate was enriched for small lymphocytes and thus was characterized as chylus. Prenatal ultrasound findings in Noonan syndrome usually are unspecific and rarely lead to a diagnosis. However, with the combination of cystic hygroma, pleural effusion, ascites and normal karyotype Noonan syndrome should be considered and DNA testing for PTPN11 mutations may be appropriate. Malformations of lymphatic vessels and/or chylothorax in Noonan syndrome seem to be more frequent than usually anticipated. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献
