Female choice on male quantitative traits in lizards — why is it so rare?

Female choice on the basis of male traits has been described in an array of taxa but has rarely been demonstrated in reptiles. In the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis), and possibly in other non-territorial reptiles, a male's contribution to a female's fitness is restricted to his genes. In order to choose males of high genetic quality, females have to trade the fitness gain against the costs of active choice. In a Swedish population of sand lizards, long-lived males sired offspring with higher embryonic survival compared to offspring sired by short-lived males. In spite of this female sand lizards did not mate selectively with older and/or larger males. There appeared to be mo reliable cues to male longevity; age-specific male body size was highly variable. Furthermore, estimates of male nuptial coloration did not covary with ectoparasite load and, hence, females cannot use male coloration as a cue to heritable resistance to pathogenic parasite effects. When cues to male genetic quality are poor, or inaccurate, and males make no parental investment, we predict that female choice will be rare. Sand lizard females mating with many partners lay clutches with higher hatching success. Thus, females may obtain content/u872176k6351142u/xxlarge8220.gif" alt="ldquo" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">good genescontent/u872176k6351142u/xxlarge8221.gif" alt="rdquo" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"> for their young by multiple mating, thereby avoiding costs associated with mate choice.     

Uncertainty, learning, and the optimal management of wildlife

Wildlife management is limited by uncontrolled and often unrecognized environmental variation, by limited capabilities to observe and control animal populations, and by a lack of understanding about the biological processes driving population dynamics. In this paper I describe a comprehensive framework for management that includes multiple models and likelihood values to account for structural uncertainty, along with stochastic factors to account for environmental variation, random sampling, and partial controllability. Adaptive optimization is developed in terms of the optimal control of incompletely understood populations, with the expected value of perfect information measuring the potential for improving control through learning. The framework for optimal adaptive control is generalized by including partial observability and non-adaptive, sample-based updating of model likelihoods. Passive adaptive management is derived as a special case of constrained adaptive optimization, representing a potentially efficient suboptimal alternative that nonetheless accounts for structural uncertainty.     

The apportionment of quadratic entropy: a useful alternative for partitioning diversity in ecological data

Many methods that study the diversity within hierarchically structured populations have been developed in genetics. Among them, the analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) (Excoffier et al., 1992) has the advantage of including evolutionary distances between individuals. AMOVA is a special case of a far more general statistical scheme produced by Rao (1982a; 1986) and called the apportionment of quadratic entropy (APQE). It links diversity and dissimilarity and allows the decomposition of diversity according to a given hierarchy. We apply this framework to ecological data showing that APQE may be very useful for studying diversity at various spatial scales. Moreover, the quadratic entropy has a critical advantage over usual diversity indices because it takes into account differences between species. Finally, the differences that can be incorporated in APQE may be either taxonomic or functional (biological traits), which may be of critical interest for ecologists.     

松嫩平原西部不同土地覆被水盐动态对比研究

通过对6种土地覆被2003年6～10月水盐时空动态进行分析，对比不同土地覆被水盐动态变化差异，结果发现：采样期内，不同土地覆被(碱斑地除外)0-120cm剖面含水量均出现明显峰值，大豆地和羊草草地在7月底出现峰值，玉米地和向日葵地在8月初，退化草地则在8月底才达到，比羊草草地滞后了一个月。除羊草草地外，其他土地覆被剖面含水量变化呈W型，只是波动幅度各不相同。采样期内，羊草草地剖面含水量的相对变率最大，为74％，其他依次为退化草地、大豆地、向日葵地、玉米地，碱斑地最低，仅为6．4％。相对于农田土地覆被，在0～40cm，羊草草地、退化草地和碱斑地随盐渍化程度的加重，含盐量剖面变异逐渐减小，而农田的三种土地覆被之间变异比较接近。整个采样期，向日葵地储盐量随时间的变化呈下降趋势，其他土地覆被波动变化一致，都经历了下降-上升-下降过程，但波动幅度不同，且羊草草地在7月7日出现上升，其他4种土地覆被在9月8日开始出现滞后于含水量的变化。相对于采样初期，不同土地覆被含盐量的相对变率均为负值，农田的下降幅度大，草地次之，碱斑地最小。协方差分析表明：95％置信度下，土地覆被、土壤剖面和两者的交互作用对含盐量的影响差异显著。

A review of the chemical ecology of the Cerambycidae (Coleoptera)

Summary. This review summarizes the literature related to the chemical ecology of the Cerambycidae and provides a brief overview of cerambycid biology, ecology, economic significance, and management. Beetles in the family Cerambycidae have assumed increasing prominence as pests of forest and shade trees, shrubs, and raw wood products, and as vectors of tree diseases. Exotic species associated with solid wood packing materials have been notable tree killers in North American urban and peri-urban forests. In forested ecosystems native species respond to disturbances such as fires and windstorms, and initiate the biodeterioration of woody tissue. Eggs are laid by females, on or through the bark surface of stem and branch tissue of moribund, recently killed or decomposing woody plants; larval cerambycids (roundheaded woodborers) typically feed in the phloem and later in the xylem. Females will also, in some cases, select living hosts, e.g. adult conifer and angiosperm trees, for oviposition. Research on the chemical ecology of over 70 species has revealed many examples of attractive kairomones (such as floral volatiles, smoke volatiles, trunk and leaf volatiles, and bark beetle pheromones), repellents and deterrents, oviposition stimulants, short- and long-range sex pheromones, and defensive substances. Emerging generalities are that attractants tend to be monoterpenoids and phenolic esters; oviposition stimulants are monoterpenoids and flavanoids; short-range sex pheromones are female-produced, methyl-branched cuticular hydrocarbons; and long-range sex pheromones are male-produced content/b96hn2k9qbg2qfm8/xxlarge945.gif" alt="agr" align="BASELINE" BORDER="0">-hydroxy ketones and (content/b96hn2k9qbg2qfm8/xxlarge945.gif" alt="agr" align="BASELINE" BORDER="0">,content/b96hn2k9qbg2qfm8/xxlarge946.gif" alt="beta" align="MIDDLE" BORDER="0">)-diols ranging in length from 6 to 10 carbons. The latter compounds appear to originate from glands in the male thorax; putative defensive substances originate from metasternal secretory pores or mandibular glands. In one unusual case, a flightless, subterranean female that attacks sugar cane produces a sex pheromone that is derived from the amino acid isoleucine. With significantly more than 35,000 species of Cerambycidae worldwide, these generalities will be subject to change as more species are examined.
