Seasonality and microhabitat selection in a forest-dwelling salamander

Many small terrestrial vertebrates exhibit limited spatial movement and are considerably exposed to changes in local environmental variables. Among such vertebrates, amphibians at present experience a dramatic decline due to their limited resilience to environmental change. Since the local survival and abundance of amphibians is intrinsically related to the availability of shelters, conservation plans need to take microhabitat requirements into account. In order to gain insight into the terrestrial ecology of the spectacled salamander Salamandrina perspicillata and to identify appropriate forest management strategies, we investigated the salamander’s seasonal variability in habitat use of trees as shelters in relation to tree features (size, buttresses, basal holes) and environmental variables in a beech forest in Italy. We used the occupancy approach to assess tree suitability on a non-conventional spatial scale. Our approach provides fine-grained parameters of microhabitat suitability and elucidates many aspects of the salamander’s terrestrial ecology. Occupancy changed with the annual life cycle and was higher in autumn than in spring, when females were found closer to the stream in the study area. Salamanders showed a seasonal pattern regarding the trees they occupied and a clear preference for trees with a larger diameter and more burrows. With respect to forest management, we suggest maintaining a suitable number of trees with a trunk diameter exceeding 30 cm. A practice of selective logging along the banks of streams could help maintain an adequate quantity of the appropriate microhabitat. Furthermore, in areas with a presence of salamanders, a good forest management plan requires leaving an adequate buffer zone around streams, which should be wider in autumn than in spring.

典型环境条件下装备环境适应性的评估方法

系统分析了航空装备环境适应的特点及环境适应性要求的类型。在此基础上,根据装备的相关环境试验信息和外场环境故障信息,遵循确定模糊集隶属函数的原则,分别构建了描述装备对单因素环境适应性的隶属度。基于单因素评估结果,选择合适的确定权重的方法,确定模糊综合评判中各层次因素的权重。最后选择合适的合成算子采用模糊综合评估的方法分别提出了装备与下层产品的综合环境适应性评估方法。通过实例验证了模型的合理性和方法的可行性。     

东湖沉积物中dNaR活性和硝酸盐还原菌的垂向分布

测定了武汉东湖污染负荷不同的3个点位(污染负荷为3号>2号>1号)柱状沉积物中异化性硝酸还原酶(dNaR)活性以及硝酸盐还原菌数量、TOC、TN、NO3--N的垂向变化,分析了dNaR活性与硝酸盐还原菌数量、TOC、TN、NO3--N的相关性.结果表明,不同点位沉积物中dNaR活性不同,污染负荷最高的3号点位dNaR活性最高,污染负荷最低的1号点活性最低.不同点位沉积物中dNaR活性在垂向分布上具有相似特征:0~15cm沉积物中活性较大,15cm以下随着深度的增加,酶活性迅速降低.硝酸盐还原菌数量在垂向分布上随着深度的增加而减小. dNaR活性与TOC、TN不具有相关性,而与NO3--N呈正相关(P<0.05);dNaR活性与硝酸盐还原菌数量呈显著性相关(P<0.01).
