Adaptive peaks and alternative foraging tactics in brook charr: evidence of short-term divergent selection for sitting-and-waiting and actively searching

Some recently emerged brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) inhabiting still-water pools along the sides of streams are sedentary and eat crustaceans from the lower portion of the water column. Others are more active and eat insects from the upper portion of the water column. We provide evidence that this divergent foraging behavior reflects short-term divergent selection brought about by intraspecific competition in the presence of alternative food sources. Rates of encounters and interactions between individuals were density dependent, and encounter and interaction events were closely timed with prey capture attempts. In addition, aggressive fish made more foraging attempts per minute than nonaggressive fish. Aggressive fish were also either inactive or very active, while nonaggressive fish exhibited intermediate levels of activity. Growth rate potential, an important component of fitness during the early life stages of brook charr, was assessed using tissue concentrations of RNA and found to be highest for sedentary fish and for active fish making frequent foraging attempts, and lower for fish exhibiting intermediate levels of activity. Our findings support contentions that individual behavior plays an important role during initial steps in the evolution of resource polymorphisms.

农业技术进步、规模效率与粮食安全——以东北三省粳稻、玉米为例

以东北三省粳稻、玉米为例,使用DEA-malmquist指数法实证检验农业技术进步、规模效率与粮食生产效率增长之间的关系。结果发现:①2000—2019年,吉林和黑龙江均保持了良好的粮食生产效率。②黑龙江属于"农业技术进步单一驱动型"的生产模式,而辽宁、吉林属于"农业技术进步和技术效率双驱动型"的生产模式。③吉林玉米生产的规模效率非有效,辽宁农业技术进步的衰退分别阻碍了各自粮食生产效率的提高。基于以上研究,提出建议:黑龙江、吉林、辽宁3省应因地制宜,分别通过增加农业财政投入、加强农业科技研发力度、鼓励农地流转等措施为粮食安全保驾护航。     

Application of environmentally conscious manufacturing strategies for an automotive component

Application of appropriate environmentally conscious manufacturing strategies enables the sustainable development of products and processes. Automotive component manufacturers recognise the potential of applying appropriate strategies for attaining Triple Bottom Line benefits. In this context, three strategies such as eco-efficiency, waste minimisation and material efficiency are being applied to minimise environmental impacts associated with the manufacture of automotive products and its associated processes. A case study of an automotive component manufacturing firm has been exemplified. After conducting the study, the potential environmental impact was reduced by 20% and eco-efficiency was improved by 13%. Further, improvements have been observed in terms of overall resource consumption and material efficiency. The overall power consumption was reduced by 18% and weight of the component was reduced by 11%. The study aimed at improving the sustainable performance of product by incorporating green and environmentally friendlier manufacturing practices.

京津冀地区城市三生空间碳代谢效率特征及演进模式

探究城市三生空间系统的碳代谢效率有助于实现区域要素整合和空间优化.基于城市代谢视角,采用物质流分析法构建了京津冀地区三生空间碳代谢效率评估框架,并运用超效率DEA模型和Malmquist指数分析了2000~2020年三生空间碳代谢效率的时空分布、动态变化及演进模式.结果表明：①2000~2020年,京津冀地区三生空间碳代谢效率呈波动增长趋势,各城市碳代谢效率空间分异明显,碳代谢效率水平整体偏低,呈中部高、南北低的分布格局.②京津冀地区碳代谢效率全要素生产率呈增加趋势,技术进步变化和纯技术效率贡献作用不显著.超过50%的城市全要素生产率呈改善趋势,仅有38.46%的城市在碳代谢效率改善过程中存在技术进步现象,超过1/2地区的纯技术效率呈下降趋势,大部分城市的技术效率和规模效率变化指数大于1.③各城市碳代谢效率呈现不同的类型特征,按照其发展路径划为稳定式、反复式、渐进式和突变式这4种演进模式.各城市应据此采取差异化措施,合理配置三生空间资源,提高技术水平和规模效率,以期提高城市碳代谢效率水平.
