Integrative approach to delineate natural attenuation of chlorinated benzenes in anoxic aquifers

Biodegradation of chlorobenzenes was assessed at an anoxic aquifer by combining hydrogeochemistry and stable isotope analyses. In situ microcosm analysis evidenced microbial assimilation of chlorobenzene (MCB) derived carbon and laboratory investigations asserted mineralization of MCB at low rates. Sequential dehalogenation of chlorinated benzenes may affect the isotope signature of single chlorobenzene species due to simultaneous depletion and enrichment of ¹³C, which complicates the evaluation of degradation. Therefore, the compound-specific isotope analysis was interpreted based on an isotope balance. The enrichment of the cumulative isotope composition of all chlorobenzenes indicated in situ biodegradation. Additionally, the relationship between hydrogeochemistry and degradation activity was investigated by principal component analysis underlining variable hydrogeochemical conditions associated with degradation activity at the plume scale. Although the complexity of the field site did not allow straightforward assessment of natural attenuation processes, the application of an integrative approach appeared relevant to characterize the in situ biodegradation potential.     

Intraspecific parasitism and split sex ratios in a monogynous and monandrous ant (Leptothorax nylanderi)

Sex ratios were bimodally distributed in a population of the monogynous and monandrous ant Leptothorax nylanderi during each of 3 study years. The population-wide investment ratios suggested worker control of sex allocation. Nest-level variation in the proportional investment in virgin queens was not affected by the presence or absence of a queen and only slightly by collecting year, but was correlated with nest size, total sexual investment and, unexpectedly, with differences in nestmate relatedness: small, low-investment nests and nests with several worker lineages produced male-biased sex ratios. Colonies containing several worker lineages arise from usurpation of mature colonies by unrelated founding queens and the fusion of unrelated colonies under strong nest site limitation. In contrast to facultatively polygynous and polyandrous species of social insects, where workers can maximize their inclusive fitness by adjusting sex ratios according to the degree of relatedness asymmetry, workers in mixed colonies of L. nylanderi do not benefit from manipulating sex allocation, as here relatedness asymmetries appear to be the same as in homogeneous colonies.

The independent origin of a queen number bottleneck that promotes cooperation in the African swarm-founding wasp, Polybioides tabidus

When cooperation is based on shared genetic interests, as in most social insect colonies, mechanisms which increase the genetic similarity of group members may help to maintain sociality. Such mechanisms can be especially important in colonies with many queens because within-colony relatedness drops quickly as queen number increases. Using microsatellite markers, we examined the Old World, multiple-queen, swarm-founding wasp Polybioides tabidus which belongs to the ropalidiine tribe, and found that relatedness among the workers was four times higher than what would be expected based on queen number alone. Relatedness was elevated by a pattern of queen production known as cyclical oligogyny, under which, queen number varies, and daughter queens are produced only after the number of old queens has reduced to one or a very few. As a result, the queens are highly related, often as full sisters, elevating relatedness among their progeny, the workers. This pattern of queen production is driven by collective worker control of the sex ratios. Workers are three times more highly related to females than to males in colonies with a single queen while they are more equally related to males and females in colonies with more queens. As a result of this difference, workers will prefer to produce new queens in colonies with a single queen and males in colonies with many queens. Cyclical oligogyny has also evolved independently in another group of swarm-founding wasps, the Neotropical epiponine wasps, suggesting that collective worker control of sex ratios is widespread in polistine wasps.

稳定型含氯消毒剂的稳定性及消毒效果研究

用传统含氯消毒剂与一种磺酸基化合物络合，形成氯稳定体系的水溶液。对该消毒剂在6个月内的有效氟、pH值、氧化还原电位的监测结果表明：其稳定性相当好，pH基本保持不变，有效氯及氧化还原电位的变化率分别为0.51％与9.47％。定量消毒试验结果表明，稳定型含氟消毒剂的消毒能力强，其消毒能力仅略低于二氟异氰尿酸钠等含氯消毒剂，存放6个月后，对表皮葡萄球菌的杀灭率无明显变化。对加5％牛血清白蛋白的表皮葡萄球菌20min的杀灭率无变化。这种稳定型的含氯消毒剂将具有广阔的应用前景。     

郑州空气颗粒物中PAHs的碳同位素特征及来源

研究了郑州城区空气颗粒物中多环芳烃(PAHs)的稳定碳同位素组成特征并对其来源进行了解析.气相色谱/燃烧系统/同位素质谱(GC/C/IRMS)分析表明,PAHs 的δ¹³C 值在非采暖季为-29.4‰～-23.4‰,采暖季为-30.0‰～-24.2‰,随着分子量的增大,PAHs 中 13C 降低.统计表明不同采样点的样品中的 PAHs 的δ¹³C 区别不明显(0.1‰<σ<0.8‰).两个季节中,三环和四环多芳香烃化合物荧蒽、芘和苯并(a)蒽的δ¹³C没有明显的区别,其范围为-24.5‰～-23.4‰,但是,五环和六环芳烃的δ¹³C 值有明显差异.随着分子量的增大,采暖季环境空气颗粒物中 PAHs的碳同位素比值变小的程度比非采暖季的大.采暖季的苯并(a)芘、茚并(1,2,3-cd)芘、苯并(ghi)苝的δ13C 值分别为-26.6‰、-30.0‰和-28.1‰,而非采暖季为-24.5‰、-29.4‰和-26.3‰.利用二元复合同位素模型,估算了不同季节机动车尾气和煤的燃烧对郑州城区苯并(a)芘的贡献.在非采暖季机动车尾气排放的贡献率为 70%,在采暖季贡献率为 50%,煤的燃烧对六环化合物的贡献高于机动车排放的贡献.     

Golden Eagle fatalities and the continental‐scale consequences of local wind‐energy generation

Renewable energy production is expanding rapidly despite mostly unknown environmental effects on wildlife and habitats. We used genetic and stable isotope data collected from Golden Eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) killed at the Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area (APWRA) in California in demographic models to test hypotheses about the geographic extent and demographic consequences of fatalities caused by renewable energy facilities. Geospatial analyses of δ²H values obtained from feathers showed that ≥25% of these APWRA‐killed eagles were recent immigrants to the population, most from long distances away (>100 km). Data from nuclear genes indicated this subset of immigrant eagles was genetically similar to birds identified as locals from the δ²H data. Demographic models implied that in the face of this mortality, the apparent stability of the local Golden Eagle population was maintained by continental‐scale immigration. These analyses demonstrate that ecosystem management decisions concerning the effects of local‐scale renewable energy can have continental‐scale consequences.
