硫酸铵作为人工气溶胶模拟尘源的研究

硫酸盐、铵盐等水溶性无机盐粒子是大气气溶胶的重要组成部分,为进一步提高高效过滤器性能测试实验的精度,提出了过滤器测试标准要求外的新的人工尘气溶胶发生液（NH4）2SO4,并通过一系列实验,从相关性、粒谱分布、分散度等方面对其气溶胶粒子能否满足测试气溶胶的要求进行验证分析。实验结果表明,（NH4）2SO4和KCl间的相关系数R2为0.994 78,相关性很好;NaCl、KCl和（NH4）2SO4气溶胶的几何标准差分别为0.88、0.85和0.87,呈单分散且分散程度接近,可很好的满足测试气溶胶要求。还获得了可控参数喷气压力与发生溶液质量浓度对（NH4）2SO4气溶胶粒谱分布的影响规律：随喷气压力的增加,气溶胶粒子的粒径减小,分布集中;而随发生溶液质量浓度的增加,粒径增大,导致分散度增加。质量浓度和喷气压力对（NH4）2SO4和KCl气溶胶粒径和分散度作用规律的一致性进一步表明（NH4）2SO4作为测试气溶胶的可行性。

The adaptive significance of male polymorphism in the acarid mite Caloglyphus berlesei

Summary Two forms of males occur in the acarid mite, Caloglyphus berlesei. One of them uses its thickened third pair of legs to kill other males; the other, without modified legs, does not attack other males. Previous studies have shown that the form of the male is environmentally determined: fighter males develop only at low population densities and their development can be suppressed by substances emanating from dense colonies. In this study, the duration of development, longevity and virility of the two male morphs were measured. The only significant difference was that fighters had a shorter development time between the two last moults. In another experiment, two groups of colonies were maintained under the same conditions but had different numbers of individuals: small colonies contained 2 fighters and 2 non-fighters, whereas large colonies contained 30 males of each type. The relative reproductive success of both morphs was estimated from numbers of matings. In small colonies, the estimated reproductive success (ERS) was significantly higher for fighters than for non-fighters, mainly because in over 50% of these colonies a single fighter male managed to kill all the rival males and monopolize the females. The opposite was true in large colonies, in which non-fighters achieved significantly higher ERS, mainly because the fighters were killed in fights more often than the non-fighters. This implies that the ratio of costs to benefits obtained by adopting the fighter-male strategy increases with the number of rival males, which may explain conditional male development in C. berlesei.

Understanding the Lessons and Limitations of Conservation and Development

Abstract: The lack of concrete instances in which conservation and development have been successfully merged has strengthened arguments for strict exclusionist conservation policies. Research has focused more on social cooperation and conflict of different management regimes and less on how these factors actually affect the natural environments they seek to conserve. Consequently, it is still unknown which strategies yield better conservation outcomes? We conducted a meta‐analysis of 116 published case studies on common resource management regimes from Africa, south and central America, and southern and Southeast Asia. Using ranked sociodemographic, political, and ecological data, we analyzed the effect of land tenure, population size, social heterogeneity, as well as internally devised resource‐management rules and regulations (institutions) on conservation outcome. Although land tenure, population size, and social heterogeneity did not significantly affect conservation outcome, institutions were positively associated with better conservation outcomes. There was also a significant interaction effect between population size and institutions, which implies complex relationships between population size and conservation outcome. Our results suggest that communities managing a common resource can play a significant role in conservation and that institutions lead to management regimes with lower environmental impacts.     

Reproductive status influences group size and persistence of bonds in male plains zebra (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Equus burchelli</Emphasis>)

Animal groups arise from individuals’ choices about the number, characteristics, and identity of associates. Individuals make these choices to gain benefits from their associations. As the needs of an individual change with its phenotype, so too we expect the nature of its associations to vary. In this paper, we investigate how the social priorities of male plains zebra (Equus burchelli) depend on reproductive state. An adult male is either a bachelor, and lacking mating access, or a stallion defending a harem. Multiple harems and bachelor males aggregate in larger herds. Herds frequently split and merge, affording males opportunities to change associates. Over a 4-year period, we sampled the herd associations in a population of 500–700 zebras. To isolate the effects of reproductive state on male social behavior, we account for potential confounding factors: changes in population size, grouping tendencies, and sampling intensity. We develop a generally applicable permutation procedure, which allows us to test the null hypothesis that social behavior is independent of male status. Averaging over all individuals in the population, we find that a typical bachelor is found in herds containing significantly more adults, bachelors, and stallions than the herds of a typical stallion. Further, bachelors’ bonds with each other are more persistent over time than those among stallions. These results suggest that bachelors form cohesive cliques, in which we may expect cooperative behaviors to develop. Stallion–stallion associations are more diffuse, and less conducive to long-term cooperation. This contribution is part of the special issue “Social Networks: new perspectives” (Guest Editors: J. Krause, D. Lusseau and R. James).     

煤矸石风化物不同粒级中重金属镉含量及其形态变化

对抚顺西露天矿煤矸石山表层煤矸石风化母岩进行多点取样,风化物筛分成>2 mm、2～0.25 mm和<0.25 mm等3个粒级,分析测定了矸石山表层母岩及其风化物不同粒级中Cd含量及其形态变化特征.结果表明:煤矸石母岩及其风化物中cd含量超过土壤环境质量2级标准,页岩、泥岩及其风化物pH值7.2～8.6,但燃后泥岩pH值4.9.碳质页岩2～0.25 mm粒级风化物中Cd损失最多,为73.6%;<0.25 mm细粒级Cd损失较少,为17.0%,这与细颗粒的表面吸附作用有关;泥岩及其各粒级风化物Cd元素不易损失,其Cd含量变化也相对较小;但燃后泥岩风化物中的Cd较容易损失.煤矸石风化物各样品类型中的Cd均以残渣态为主,可还原态和弱酸可提取态所占比例次之,可氧化态所占比例最小.弱酸可提取态Cd在细颗粒风化物中所占比例较高.

Multiple song repertoire characteristics in the willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus): correlations with female choice and offspring viability

Male willow warblers have song repertoires which vary in complexity along several dimensions. We examined whether female choice, as measured by date of pairing, was based on these song characteristics in 4 different years. Pairing date was negatively correlated with song repertoire size in 1 year, and with song versatility in another year, but there was no consistent effect of any song characteristic on pairing throughout the years or in the pooled sample. The variable that best explained how soon a male pairs is male arrival date (only males that had settled territories before the first female arrived were considered in the analysis). This correlation is consistently significant in all years. This is most parsimoniously interpreted as females choosing some habitat characteristic in the same way that males do. A small percentage of males (8.3%) attracted and paired with a second female. The likelihood of becoming polygynous was not explained by any measured song characteristic, but it was related to arrival date: early males were more likely to pair with two females. Males with large repertoires fledged more young in their primary nests, and there was a trend for the offspring of these males to have a greater probability of being recruited into the population. In conclusion, the results show that in most years there is no sexual selection by female preference on song characteristics, although the data on reproductive success is consistent with the idea of repertoire size being an indicator of male quality.
