Effect of crab size and habitat type on the locomotory activity of juvenile shore crabs, Carcinus maenas

Post-settlement processes are a major focus in the study of the dynamics of marine populations and communities. Post-settlement movement of juveniles is an important, but often ignored, process which affects local predator–prey and competitive interactions. We used benthic suction sampling and pitfall traps to examine density and locomotory activity of Carcinus maenas juveniles in different intertidal habitat types in the Rio Mira Estuary, Portugal, to better understand intra-specific interactions in a system where density-dependent processes are known to regulate population dynamics. As expected, significantly higher densities of juvenile shore crabs were found from bare mud compared to densely vegetated habitats. At the time of sampling, small and intermediate stages together outnumbered by far the larger juveniles. Conversely, larger crabs were much more frequent than smaller ones in traps. A locomotory index (LI), i.e. the ratio between crab catch in pitfall traps and their density within their moving range, is proposed as a measure of movement. LI analyses indicated that: (1) movement is an order of magnitude higher in large than small juveniles and much higher in sparse than dense vegetation cover; (2) activity of small juveniles is mostly crepuscular, regardless of vegetation cover; and (3) movement of large juveniles is very limited in dense Zostera patches, but very high in sparsely vegetated areas, during the day and night. These results suggest that small juveniles are relatively protected under dense vegetation cover due to lower mobility of larger crabs, and provide evidence of temporal segregation of activity windows between juvenile crabs of different sizes, which may be a key mechanism to reduce cannibalism and therefore increase the carrying capacity of nursery habitats.     

一些海洋动植物区系的真菌分离和抑菌活性初步研究

从南海海域的鱼类、贝类、海藻以及海泥样品中分离出199株海洋真菌,分属于青霉属、曲霉属和酵母属等9个属,其中以青霉属和曲霉属真菌居多,分别占28.6%和26.8%。以大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌作为指示菌,筛选出抑菌活性菌株7株,其中2株既抗大肠杆菌又抗金黄色葡萄球菌,4株抗金黄色葡萄球菌,1株抗大肠杆菌。     

氮磷营养盐对中肋骨条藻生长及硝酸还原酶活性的影响

通过实验室培养,在不同氮磷浓度及氮磷比率的营养条件下,对中肋骨条藻（Skeletonema costatum）的生长及藻细胞硝酸还原酶的活性进行研究。实验结果表明,中肋骨条藻属于营养型藻类,氮磷营养盐的添加,极大地促进了藻细胞的增殖。在接种后的第4～5天,各培养组藻密度达到最大值并与对照组形成极显著性差异（P〈0．01）。实验进一步发现,环境中的氮、磷浓度及氮磷比率都会影响中肋骨条藻的生长及藻细胞硝酸还原酶活性（NRA）。此外,在各培养组中,中肋骨条藻硝酸还原酶活性的最大值（NRAmax）均出现在指数生长期（接藻后第1,2天）,早于最大藻密度的出现时间（第4,5天）,这表明藻对营养盐的同化速率与生长速率并不一致,后者存在一定的滞后效应。在本实验条件下,中肋骨条藻的硝酸还原酶活性存在一定的阈值。     

单环刺螠纤溶酶的分离纯化及其性质的初步研究

从单环刺中制得单一组分的纤溶活性纤溶酶,并对其性质进行初步研究.单环刺体组织液经离心,超滤,离子交换层析,凝胶过滤等方法进行分离纯化,制得单一洗脱峰酶组分,经Native-PAGE电泳分析,SDS-PAGE电泳分析和飞行质谱分析,鉴定了酶制品纯度和相对分子量,进行了体外溶血栓试验.所得纯品UFEIa水解酪蛋白的比活力为442.0 U/mg,纯化倍数为12.1倍,回收率为27.0%.UFEIa为单一组分,相对分子量约23 800 Da.体外溶血栓实验表明此纤溶活性蛋白酶与蚓激酶相比具有很好的溶血栓活性.

义县组时代及解体

辽西中生界义县组时代归属问题 ,争论已久 ,归纳起来主要有三种划分方案 :第一 ,隶属于侏罗纪 ;第二 ,隶属于白垩纪 ;第三 ,归属于为侏罗 -白垩纪 ,属跨纪地层。结合多年来各科研院所及生产单位采集的众多同位素年龄资料的分析及野外所见接触关系研究认为 :原义县组中下部层位岩性组合 ,根据其特征 ,需另建立组级岩石单位 ,应归属到上侏罗统 ,广义义县组上部层位一套岩性组合 ,需重新定义 ,时代应归属到下白垩统。     

新疆拜城黑孜尔水库垂直形变观测与现今断层活动特征

根据跨断层定点水准、基线观测资料和垂直形变的水准高程观测数据分析,黑孜尔断裂 Ｆ２定点水准的垂直位移量为 ０． １４ ｍｍ／ａ,基线缩短量为 ０． ４８ ｍｍ／ａ,断层滑动角■≈３７°,现今垂直形变速率为 ０． ６９３ ｍｍ／ａ。结合地震活动和区域地质构造研究,认为黑孜尔断裂近期水平活动强度大于垂直运动强度,该区在未来１～３年内仍可能发生６级以上地震。
