Polymorphic color vision in white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus): Is there foraging niche divergence among phenotypes?

Many species of platyrrhine primates are characterised by sex-linked color vision polymorphism. This presents an opportunity to study the biology and ecology of individuals with different phenotypes living in the same group. Several evolutionary processes could maintain polymorphic genes in populations. In this study, we evaluate the hypothesis that foraging niche divergence among monkeys explains the presence of multiple color vision phenotypes. Specifically, we test whether dichromats and trichromats differ in foraging time devoted to cryptic vs brightly colored resources. We did not find any differences in foraging time spent on different food types by dichromatic and trichromatic monkeys in two groups of white-faced capuchins (Cebus capucinus) living in a tropical dry forest. We conclude that in so far as these variables are concerned, niche divergence does not likely explain color vision polymorphism in our study population.

A model of deforestation by human population interactions

A differential equation was employed in modelling deforestation by human population interactions to yield an explicit mathematical model. The theoretical relation and many possible models were applied to the grid cell data in Hiroshima Prefecture, and relative appropriateness of each model was evaluated by Akaike's information criterion (AIC) using raw data. Intensive further verification was executed bythe bootstrap method. It was demonstrated that the theoretical relation was in the best agreement among many other models in comparison.     

中国农村绿色发展绩效的空间差异

运用多种DEA模型与Gini准则相结合的方法,采用2003—2012年中国31个省、直辖市和自治区农村数据,对中国及其各地区农村绿色发展绩效值进行了动态测算与分析,在此基础上,对各省市及其所属地区农村绿色发展绩效值进行排名和分析。结果表明,从全国层面来看,中国农村绿色发展绩效整体上呈现上升趋势,如综合绩效值由2.184上升至2.824,表明全国在关注农村经济发展的同时越来越注重环境保护,注重资源和能源的节约,从而促进了全国农村地区绿色发展绩效的提高;从分区域来看,农村绿色发展绩效存在地区差异,绿色发展绩效较高地区是东北,年均值为2.502,西北次之,年均值为2.385,华北、华东和中南地区绩效值相对偏低;进一步地,各省、直辖市和自治区农村绿色发展绩效逐年呈现上升趋势,但有部分省市,如辽宁、河北和山西等,农村绿色发展绩效值偏低,甚至低于该省市所在地区的平均绩效值,这不仅反映了该省市农村绿色发展绩效较低,而且表明了该省市农村绿色发展绩效的高低制约着其所在地区农村整体绿色发展绩效的提升。此外,由于不同省、直辖市和自治区在资源禀赋、技术水平、政策和制度环境等方面不同,农村绿色发展的绩效值在省际之间存在较大差异。基于研究结果,在今后我国农村地区绿色发展过程中,一方面,需要加大绿色资源的投入,为农村绿色发展提供基本的条件;另一方面,需要加大对农村绿色劳动力的投入,确保为农村绿色发展提供高素质劳动力;与此同时,还要不断提高绿色技术水平,为农村绿色发展创造良好的技术条件,以此促进我国农村地区绿色绩效的进一步提高。     

中国绿色食堂评价指标体系构建

绿色食堂是实现绿色餐饮的重要构成,构建科学的绿色食堂评价指标体系对餐饮业健康良性发展十分关键。目前,国内缺乏关于绿色食堂的有效评价指标体系。本文遵循目的性、科学性、系统性、可行性、动态性五大原则,探索构建了中国绿色食堂评价指标体系。该体系从反食品浪费与绿色消费、食品安全与营养、节能减损、污染物控制、绿色服务与运营管理5个方面17个指标给出相应的评价标准并赋权。最后,本文以高校食堂为例,通过全国层面的数据调查和个别高校的案例研究,从反食物浪费的现实需求和消费者认同视角,证实了评价绿色食堂需要对反食品浪费和绿色消费指标予以高度重视。本文为绿色食堂评价指标体系的完善提供了初步依据,有助于《反食品浪费法》在食堂场所的实施实践。     

Model Calculations of Total Maximum Daily Loads of Mercury for Drainage Lakes1

Abstract: The Watershed Analysis Risk Management Framework watershed model was enhanced to simulate the transport and fate of mercury and to calculate the fish mercury concentrations (FMC) attained by fish through the food web. The model was applied to Western Lake Superior Basin of Minnesota, which has many peat lands and lakes. Topographic, land use, and soil data were used to set up the model. Meteorology and precipitation chemistry data from nearby monitoring stations were compiled to drive the model. Simulated flow and mercury concentrations for several stream stations were comparable to available data. The model was used to perform mercury total maximum daily load calculations for two contrasting drainage lakes (Wild Rice Lake and Whiteface Reservoir). The model results for wet deposition, dry deposition, evasion, watershed yield, and soil sequestration of mercury were comparable with available actual data. The model predicted lake ice cover from November to April and weak stratification in summer, typical of shallow lakes in cold regions. The simulated sulfate decrease and methylmercury increase near the lake bottom in late summer are caused by sulfate reduction and mercury methylation that occur in the surficial sediment. Simulated FMC were within the range of observed values and the R² of correlation between the simulated and observed FMC was 0.77. Under the 1989‐2004 base condition, the average simulated FMC of four‐year‐old walleye was 0.31 μg/g for Whiteface Reservoir and 0.15 μg/g for Wild Rice Lake. The FMC criterion in Minnesota is 0.2 μg/g. Wild Rice Lake already meets this criterion without any load reduction. The model showed that a 65% reduction in atmospheric mercury deposition will not, by itself, allow Whiteface Reservoir to meet the criterion in 15 years. Additional best management practices will be needed to reduce 50% of the watershed input.     

特殊风场条件对太湖蓝藻水华迁移的影响研究

在高温、微风气象条件下,适宜蓝藻水华形成。在特殊非均一风场的驱动下,太湖蓝藻水华迁移过程与被均匀风场驱动有所不同。选取太湖典型风向进行分析,并采用三维水动力水质模型对表面非均一风场条件下的风生流流场及水质进行模拟,结果表明,在特殊非均一风场的驱动下,当太湖蓝藻浓度较高时,容易在西部湖区特别在竺山湖、梅梁湾湾内、岸边及湾口聚集,形成水华暴发,这有助于研究太湖污染物及蓝藻水华的输移及空间分布和机理。     

壬基酚对Americamysis bahia种群安全暴露基准浓度的确定

采用正态分布累积函数和幂函数,分别建立了壬基酚(NP)对Americamysis bahia多代种群暴露影响的浓度-种群周限增长率(λ)和浓度-种群内禀增长率(r)曲线,根据各自拟合的模型选择基准(MSC)值选择幂函数浓度-r曲线来估算种群安全暴露浓度.使用浓度-r曲线的浓度(r=0)的95%置信区间下限作为种群水平上的安全暴露基准浓度,确定了NP对Americamysis bahia种群多代安全暴露浓度(1.87μg·l-1).这个基准浓度要低于多代暴露实验所获得的NP的个体水平上的慢性繁殖毒性的安全浓度(12μg·l-1).
