Does begging affect growth in nestling tree swallows,<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Tachycineta bicolor</Emphasis>?

Much of the theoretical work on the evolution of begging assumes this elaborate display is costly. The evidence for an energetic cost to begging has, however, been equivocal. Metabolic studies on nestling birds suggest that begging requires minimal energy, but some growth studies have shown that excess begging reduces growth rates. One difficulty in interpreting these results is that metabolic and growth studies have each been performed on different species. Here, we test whether high begging frequencies depress growth in nestling tree swallows, Tachycineta bicolor, a species in which the metabolic cost of begging has been measured. When we compared the growth of nestlings stimulated to beg at either high or low frequencies, we found no significant differences in their mass gained, wing growth or portion of ingested energy devoted to begging either during the experimental period or in the 24 h following the end of the experiment. We also found no significant relationship between begging intensity and growth measurements. The results of our study are consistent with previous metabolic studies on this species suggesting that the energetic cost of begging is relatively low. More generally, evidence for a fitness cost of begging via decreased growth is equivocal.Communicated by J. Dickinson     

Determinants of chorus tenure in barking treefrogs (Hyla gratiosa)

In all species of anuran amphibians studied to date, male mating success is positively correlated with male chorus tenure (the number of nights that a male is present in breeding aggregations), yet males spend only a small portion of the total breeding season in choruses. Three hypotheses might explain abbreviated chorus tenure in anuran amphibians: (1) mortality, (2) energy limitations, and (3) movement among choruses. I tested these hypotheses in a study of the barking treefrog (Hyla gratiosa), a species with very abbreviated chorus tenure. Mortality accounted for the short tenures of some males: an estimated 20% of males died while calling in the chorus. Energy limitations were an important determinant of chorus tenure. Males lost weight over successive nights in the chorus, and males with longer chorus tenures were in better condition on their first night in the chorus, lost condition more slowly, and were in poorer condition on their last night in the chorus than were males with shorter chorus tenures. Males that I fed crickets as they left the chorus returned sooner and for more nights than did control (unfed) males. Movement between ponds did not explain abbreviated chorus tenure: less than 16% of the males called at more than one pond, and these males increased their chorus tenures by a median of only 2.5 nights by calling in another chorus. Thus, abbreviated chorus tenure in H. gratiosa appears to be primarily the result of energy limitations, with mortality playing a secondary role.

长江口湿地资源生物的可持续利用

长江口湿地是我国一块重要的滨海湿地,蕴含了丰富的自然资源,这些自然资源为当地乃至更广领域的经济发展都作出了重要的贡献。本文主要探讨该湿地生态系统中六种具有代表性资源生物的利用现状。这六种资源生物是中华绒螯蟹苗、日本鳗鲡苗、缢蛏、河蚬、芦苇和海三棱草。它们在维持河口生态系统的稳定性和连续性上具有其他许多生物所不可替代的作用。目前由于种种原因,这些资源的持续发展已受到了一定的威胁,造成它们资源现存量下降的主要原因是过度捕捞、受污严重及围垦滩涂等一些因素。如何正确利用和保护这些资源已是一项急待解决的问题,针对这些问题为可持续利用它们提出了一些相应的对策和建议。

Long-term engineering properties of recycled plastic lumber used in pier construction

Plastic lumber manufactured using post consumer waste plastic has been proposed as an acceptable material for use in the construction of docks, piers and bulkheads and is touted to outlast conventional wood products due to its strength, durability and resistance to rot. This study examines the long-term engineering properties of plastic lumber manufactured using post consumer waste plastic (TRIMAX, Ronkonkoma, NY). Plastic lumber profiles were used in the decking of a pier built in West Meadow Creek, Old Field, NY during December 1995. Samples of plastic lumber were removed from the deck of the pier periodically over a two-year period and returned to the laboratory for testing. Results of engineering tests showed the in-plane compression modulus (260±30 MPa), dimensional stability and the Shore D surface hardness (60±2) of plastic lumber removed from the pier remained similar to or greater than their pre-placement values. In contrast, significant changes in the modulus of elasticity of plastic lumber were measured with prolonged weathering. The modulus of elasticity of plastic lumber initially decreased from 1370 Pa to 750 Pa following 12 months weathering, a decrease equal to 45% of its pre-placement value and then increased during the second year to close to its initial value. The high variability in the modulus of elasticity should restrict the use of plastic lumber profiles to non-load bearing structural applications.
