The tropical lancelet Asymmetron lucayanum (= Epigonichthys lucayanus) is distributed from the western Indian Ocean to the central Pacific Ocean, and the western Atlantic Ocean. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences (1,035 bp) of A. lucayanum (80 specimens from seven localities) showed clearly that this species is genetically distinguished into three major groups of geographical populations based on neighbor-joining tree using maximum likelihood distance (HKY model with invariable sites and gamma correction), suggesting the existence of three cryptic species. Our genetic data show that (1) inter-oceanic divergence time between Clade B (the West-Central Pacific) and Clade C (the Atlantic) (d = 6.6%, ca. 12 million years ago) was smaller than intra-oceanic divergence time between Clade A (the Indo-West Pacific) and Clade B (d=39.5%, ca. 100 million years ago); (2) there are two cryptic species in the West Pacific in sympatry; and (3) high gene flow is implied between the Maldives and the Ryukyus in Clade A (10,000 km distance), the Philippines and Hawaii in Clade B (8,500 km distance), and Barbados and Bermuda in Clade C (2,200 km distance). 相似文献

ABSTRACT: To better understand the flow processes, solute-trans. port processes, and ground-water/surface-water interactions on the Santa Clara River in Ventura County, California, a 24-hour fluorescent-dye tracer study was performed under steady-state flow conditions on a 45-km reach of the river. The study reach includes perennial (uppermost and lowermost) subreaches and ephemeral subreaches of the lower Piru Creek and the middle Santa Clara River. The tracer-test data were used to calibrate a one-dimensional flow model (DAFLOW) and a solute-transport model (BLTM). The dye-arrival times at each sample location were simulated by calibrating the velocity parameters in DAFLOW. The simulations of dye transport indicated that (1) ground-water recharge explains the loss of mass in the ephemeral middle subreaches, and (2) ground-water recharge does not explain the loss of mass in the perennial uppermost and lowermost subreaches. The observed tracer curves in the perennial subreaches were indicative of sorptive dye losses, transient storage, and (or) photodecay - these phenomena were simulated using a linear decay term. However, analysis of the linear decay terms indicated that photodecay was not a dominant source of dye loss. 相似文献

Organotin compounds have been widely used as antifouling paints for ships and fishing nets since the 1960s and have thus been
released into marine environments. Aquatic invertebrates, particularly marine gastropods, are extremely sensitive to organotin
compounds such as tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) and undergo changes in sexual identity in response to exposure.
This worldwide phenomenon is one of the worst consequences of pollution by man-made chemicals and has led to the ban of such
compounds in antifouling paints in a number of countries, although organotin compounds still exist in the environment. So
far, very low-concentrations of TBT or TPT have been shown to induce imposex (superimposition of male genitalia on female)
in marine gastropods. Although the imposex induction mechanism has been controversial for many years, it was recently reported
that TBT and TPT are potent and efficacious activators of retinoid X receptor (RXR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily.
In this review, I discuss the involvement of RXR in the development of gastropod imposex.

Atmospheric pollutant monitoring constitutes a primordial activity in public policies concerning air quality. In São Paulo State, Brazil, the São Paulo State Environment Company (CETESB) maintains an automatic network which continuously monitors CO, SO2, NO x , O3, and particulate matter concentrations in the air. The monitoring process accuracy is a fundamental condition for the actions to be taken by CETESB. As one of the support systems, a preventive maintenance program for the different analyzers used is part of the data quality strategy. Knowledge of the behavior of analyzer failure times could help optimize the program. To achieve this goal, the failure times of an ozone analyzer—considered a repairable system—were modeled by means of the nonhomogeneous Poisson process. The rate of occurrence of failures (ROCOF) was estimated for the intervals 0–70,800 h and 0–88,320 h, in which six and seven failures were observed, respectively. The results showed that the ROCOF estimate is influenced by the choice of the observation period, t 0?=?70,800 h and t 7?=?88,320 h in the cases analyzed. Identification of preventive maintenance actions, mainly when parts replacement occurs in the last interval of observation, is highlighted, justifying the alteration in the behavior of the inter-arrival times. The performance of a follow-up on each analyzer is recommended in order to record the impact of the performed preventive maintenance program on the enhancement of its useful life. 相似文献

The movement of copper, chromium and arsenic originating from samples of the wood preservative Tanalith® through mildly acidic, sandy loam soil was investigated. Small, undisturbed soil cores (of dimensions 15 × 15 × 15 cm) were removed from the topsoil of a paddock adjacent to the Glenelg River in the Western District of Victoria, Australia. The paddock soils were thin (<30cm) greyish brown, mildly acidic, sandy loams with a moderate organic carbon content (2–5%) overlying a limestone cap. Tanalith® was applied to the surface of the cores which were then irrigated with deionised water at approximately 30 mm day‐1. Copper concentrations in all leachate remained at background levels throughout the experiment, and this element was found to be immobilised in the top 4 cm of the soil. Up to 29% of the applied dose of chromium was detected in the leachate, with breakthrough occurring within 20 days of Tanalith® application. Up to 13% ofthe applied dose ofarsenic was detected in the leachate, although in this case breakthrough was not observed until 25 days after Tanalith® application and leachate concentrations were still rising when the experiment came to a close. Significant concentrations of arsenic and chromium were found in the top 6 cm of the soil profile. 相似文献

In this study, the TiO2 photocatalytic decomposition process of aqueous phenol was investigated. The intermediate products generated in the elementary reaction steps in the mineralization process were experimentally identified as hydroquinone, catechol and hydroxyhydroquinone. The concentration variations of these intermediate products with time passage were traced by high performance liquid chromatograph. The pathways of the decomposition process were given. Based on Langmuir isothermal theory and Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism, the multi-compounds competition kinetic model was established. In this model, the observed time-dependent concentrations of phenol and the intermediate products were simulated. 相似文献

The absorption efficiencies of 6–, 10–, IS–, and 60-turn spiral contact columns for two formulations of Saltzman reagent are evaluated for use in atmospheric nitrogen dioxide analyzers at several air and liquid flow rates. Response times for the several columns as a function of flow rates and absorbing reagent are also given. The recommended column and reagent are indicated. The technique of adjusting instrument parameters for direct readout of NO2 concentrations is described. 相似文献
