Denmark has a long tradition of monitoring the aquatic environment. Previous monitoring has mainly focused on loss of nutrients
and subsequent impacts on the biological structure in lakes and coastal areas. However, as part of the third Action Plan for
the Aquatic Environment more emphasis has been put on stream ecology. The present paper describes background, strategy and
content of the new NOVANA stream programme, which will run for the period 2004–2009. The new programme will encompass more
than 800 stations covering all stream types in Denmark and monitoring will include three biological quality elements (macrophytes,
macroinvertebrates and fish) as well as physico-chemical features and hydromorphological elements. In addition, the new programme
integrates monitoring of elements both in the stream itself and in the riparian zone. Compliance with important European Commission
Directives such as the Water Framework Directive and the Habitat Directive is discussed. 相似文献

The Tarland Catchment Initiative is a partnership venture between researchers, land managers, regulators, and the local community. Its aims are to improve water quality, promote biodiversity, and increase awareness of catchment management. In this study, the effects of buffer strip installations and remediation of a large septic tank effluent were appraised by water physico-chemistry (suspended solids, NO, NH, soluble reactive P) and stream macroinvertebrate indices used by the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency. It was done during before and after interventions over an 8-yr period using a paired catchment approach. Because macroinvertebrate indices were previously shown to respond negatively to suspended solid concentrations in the study area, the installation of buffer strips along the headwaters was expected to improve macroinvertebrate scores. Although water quality (soluble reactive P, NH) improved downstream of the septic tank effluent after remediation, there was no detectable change in macroinvertebrate scores. Buffer strip installations in the headwaters had no measurable effects (beyond possible weak trends) on water quality or macroinvertebrate scores. Either the buffer strips have so far been ineffective or ineffectiveness of assessment methods and sampling frequency and time lags in recovery prevent us detecting reliable effects. To explain and appreciate these constraints on measuring stream recovery, continuous capacity building with land managers and other stakeholders is essential; otherwise, the feasibility of undertaking sufficient management interventions is likely to be compromised and projects deemed unsuccessful. 相似文献

Motor vehicles are major sources of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), and the PM2.5 from mobile vehicles is associated with adverse health effects. Traditional methods for estimating source impacts that employ receptor models are limited by the availability of observational data. To better estimate temporally and spatially resolved mobile source impacts on PM2.5, we developed an approach based on a method that uses elemental carbon (EC), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxide (NOx) measurements as an indicator of mobile source impacts. We extended the original integrated mobile source indicator (IMSI) method in three aspects. First, we generated spatially resolved indicators using 24-hr average concentrations of EC, CO, and NOx estimated at 4 km resolution by applying a method developed to fuse chemical transport model (Community Multiscale Air Quality Model [CMAQ]) simulations and observations. Second, we used spatially resolved emissions instead of county-level emissions in the IMSI formulation. Third, we spatially calibrated the unitless indicators to annually-averaged mobile source impacts estimated by the receptor model Chemical Mass Balance (CMB). Daily total mobile source impacts on PM2.5, as well as separate gasoline and diesel vehicle impacts, were estimated at 12 km resolution from 2002 to 2008 and 4 km resolution from 2008 to 2010 for Georgia. The total mobile and separate vehicle source impacts compared well with daily CMB results, with high temporal correlation (e.g., R ranges from 0.59 to 0.88 for total mobile sources with 4 km resolution at nine locations). The total mobile source impacts had higher correlation and lower error than the separate gasoline and diesel sources when compared with observation-based CMB estimates. Overall, the enhanced approach provides spatially resolved mobile source impacts that are similar to observation-based estimates and can be used to improve assessment of health effects.
Implications: An approach is developed based on an integrated mobile source indicator method to estimate spatiotemporal PM2.5 mobile source impacts. The approach employs three air pollutant concentration fields that are readily simulated at 4 and 12 km resolutions, and is calibrated using PM2.5 source apportionment modeling results to generate daily mobile source impacts in the state of Georgia. The estimated source impacts can be used in investigations of traffic pollution and health. 相似文献

Insects with two or more generations per year will generally experience different selection regimes depending on the season,
and accordingly show seasonal polyphenisms. In butterflies, seasonal polyphenism has been shown with respect to morphology,
life history characteristics and behaviour. In temperate bivoltine species, the directly developing generation is more time-constrained
than the diapause generation, and this may affect various life history traits such as mating propensity (time from eclosion
to mating). Here, we test whether mating propensity differs between generations in Pieris napi, along with several physiological parameters, i.e. male sex pheromone synthesis, and female ovigeny index and fecundity.
As predicted, individuals of the directly developing generation—who have shorter time for pupal development—are more immature
at eclosion; males take longer to synthesise the male sex pheromone after eclosion and take longer to mate than diapause generation
males. Females show the same physiological pattern; the directly developing females lay fewer eggs than diapausing females
during the first days of their life. Nevertheless, the directly developing females mate faster after eclosion than diapausing
females, indicating substantial adult time stress in this generation and possibly an adaptive value of shortening the pre-reproductive
period. Our study highlights how time stress can be predictably different between generations, affecting both life history
and behaviour. By analysing several life history traits simultaneously, we adopt a multi-trait approach to examining how adaptations
and developmental constraints likely interplay to shape these seasonal polyphenisms. 相似文献

Animal courtship rituals are important for species recognition, and a variety of cues might be utilized to recognize conspecific
mates. In this paper, we investigate different species-recognition mechanisms between two sympatric butterfly sister species:
the wood white (Leptidea sinapis) and Real’s wood white (Leptidea reali). We show that males of both species frequently court heterospecific females both under laboratory and field conditions.
The long-lasting elaborate courtships impose energetic costs, since the second courtship of males that were introduced to
two subsequent conspecific females lasted on average only one fourth as long as the first courtship. In this paper, we demonstrate
that premating reproductive isolation is dependent on female unwillingness to accept heterospecific mates. We studied female
and male courtship behavior, chemical signaling, and the morphology of the sexually dimorphic antennae, one of the few male
traits visible for females during courtship. We found no differences in ultraviolet (UV) reflectance and only small differences
in longer wavelengths and brightness, significant between-species differences, but strongly overlapping distributions of male
L. sinapis and L. reali antennal morphology and chemical signals and minor differences in courtship behavior. The lack of clear-cut between-species
differences further explains the lack of male species recognition, and the overall similarity might have caused the long-lasting
elaborate courtships, if females need prolonged male courtships to distinguish between con- and heterospecific suitors. 相似文献

Insects that hibernate as adults have a life span of almost a whole year. Hence, they must have extraordinary adaptations
for adult survival. In this paper, we study winter survival in two butterflies that hibernate as adults and have multimodal
anti-predator defences—the peacock, Inachis io, which has intimidating eyespots that are effective against bird predation, and the small tortoiseshell, Aglais urticae, which does not have an effective secondary defence against birds. We assessed predation on wild butterflies hibernating
in the attic of an unheated house, as well as survival of individually marked butterflies placed by hand on different sites
in the attic. Our objectives were to assess (1) the number of butterflies that were killed during hibernation, (2) whether
survival differed between butterfly species, and (3) how predation was related to hibernation site and the identity of the
predator. There was a strong pulse of predation during the first 2 weeks of hibernation: 58% of A. urticae and 53% of I. io were killed during this period. Thereafter, predation decreased and butterfly survival equalled 98% during the final 16 weeks
of hibernation. There was no difference in survival between the two butterfly species, but predation was site-specific and
more pronounced under light conditions in locations accessible to a climbing rodent, such as the common yellow-necked mouse,
Apodemus flavicollis. We contend that small rodents are likely important predators on overwintering butterflies, both because rodents are active
throughout winter when butterflies are torpid and because they occur at similar sites. 相似文献
