Distribution of leeches in aquatic ecosystems of the city of Yekaterinburg and its vicinity

Ecological features and species composition of leeches were studied in 25 water bodies located in the city of Yekaterinburg and its vicinity. Specific features of their occurrence and distribution in water bodies of various types were analyzed. Dominant, mass, common, and rare species were distinguished.     

塔山水库春季水生生物特征调查

对塔山水库春季湖水中浮游生物、底栖动物和入湖河道水生维管植物的生物学性质进行了调查。结果表明,塔山水库浮游植物共7门60属130种,主要优势种类为小环藻、尖针杆藻、冰岛直链藻等8种;共鉴定浮游动物5大类25种,主要优势种类为幼虫、独角聚花轮虫、浮游累枝虫、缩钟虫等;共鉴定底栖动物2大类,2种;浮游植物单位体积内 Chla为6．06～15．33 mg/m3,最高生产层日产量（以碳计）为0．26～0．65 g /（m3· d）,水柱日产量（以碳计）为0．78～1．06 g /（m2·d）;共记录水生维管植物9种,优势种为空心莲子草、浮萍、菹草和紫萍。塔山水库水质处于中度及以上富营养化水平。     

水葫芦修复富营养化湖泊水体区域内外底栖动物群落特征

于2010年8~10月对滇池白山湾人工控制性种养的约70hm2的水葫芦区、近水葫芦区和远水葫芦区采样分析,探讨了水葫芦种养工程区域内外底栖动物群落结构特征.结果表明,在水葫芦区、近水葫芦区及远水葫芦区,底栖动物总密度分别为294.5,159,261ind/m2,其中寡毛类的霍甫水丝蚓(Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri)为绝对优势种,分别占各自区域总密度的68.3%,59.6%和86.0%.逐步回归分析显示,水体总磷(TP)和底泥非稳定态磷(Labile-P)与霍甫水丝蚓密度呈显著性正相关(P < 0.01),表明霍甫水丝蚓对水体的富营养状况有很好的指示作用.水葫芦区物种组成及生物多样性指数均高于近水葫芦区和远水葫芦区(P < 0.05),在水葫芦区、近水葫芦区和远水葫芦区分别共采集到底栖动物14种、10种和6种;Shannon-Wiener多样性指数分别为1.10,0.57和0.54.种植水葫芦后,在水葫芦区及近水葫芦区,10月份的Margalef、Shannon-Wiener、Simpson和Peilou指数较8月份和9月份有显著性增加(P < 0.05),而远水葫芦区,却未出现类似的结果.一定面积控制性种养水葫芦对大型富营养化湖湾水体无脊椎底栖动物群落结构未表现出不利影响.     

四川盆地亚热带常绿阔叶林土壤动物对几种典型凋落物分解的影响

亚热带常绿阔叶林土壤动物对植物生长不同关键时期凋落物分解的贡献可能具有显著差异,但一直缺乏必要关注。以四川盆地亚热带常绿阔叶林典型人工林树种马尾松(Pinus massoniana)和柳杉(Cryptomeria fortunei),次生林树种香樟(Cinnamomum camphora)和麻栎(Quercus acutissima)凋落物为研究对象,采用凋落物分解袋试验,根据植物叶片物候规律在非生长季节(秋末落叶期、萌动期和展叶期)和生长季节(叶片成熟期、盛叶期和叶衰期)不同关键时期动态研究土壤动物对凋落物失重率的影响。土壤动物对4种典型物种凋落物分解均表现出明显贡献,其作用的凋落物失重率分别为：17.78%(麻栎)>14.23%(柳杉)>9.61%(香樟)>8.21%(马尾松)。相对于其他时期,四个树种的土壤动物贡献率均在秋末落叶期最小,除马尾松在叶衰期土壤动物贡献率最大以外,其余3个物种均在盛叶期土壤动物的贡献率最大,且土壤动物对阔叶分解的贡献率大于针叶。相关分析表明,除温度显著影响各关键时期土壤动物对凋落物的贡献外,整个第一年土壤动物作用的凋落物失重率及贡献率与纤维素含量和C/N显著相关,但在非生长季节主要与N含量、C/N和木质素/纤维素密切相关,而生长季节主要相关于木质素/N。这些结果为深入理解亚热带常绿阔叶林物质循环及其与植物生长过程的关系提供了一定的基础数据。     

Modeling mammal response to fire based on species’ traits

Fire has shaped ecological communities worldwide for millennia, but impacts of fire on individual species are often poorly understood. We performed a meta-analysis to predict which traits, habitat, or study variables and fire characteristics affect how mammal species respond to fire. We modeled effect sizes of measures of population abundance or occupancy as a function of various combinations of these traits and variables with phylogenetic least squares regression. Nine of 115 modeled species (7.83%) returned statistically significant effect sizes, suggesting most mammals are resilient to fire. The top-ranked model predicted a negative impact of fire on species with lower reproductive rates, regardless of fire type (estimate = –0.68), a positive impact of burrowing in prescribed fires (estimate = 1.46) but not wildfires, and a positive impact of average fire return interval for wildfires (estimate = 0.93) but not prescribed fires. If a species’ International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List assessment includes fire as a known or possible threat, the species was predicted to respond negatively to wildfire relative to prescribed fire (estimate = –2.84). These findings provide evidence of experts’ abilities to predict whether fire is a threat to a mammal species and the ability of managers to meet the needs of fire-threatened species through prescribed fire. Where empirical data are lacking, our methods provide a basis for predicting mammal responses to fire and thus can guide conservation actions or interventions in species or communities.
