福建东山海域柳珊瑚种类空间分布与多样性

调查并分析了福建东山珊瑚省级自然保护区内柳珊瑚的种类多样性及其空间分布,结果表明：（1）共发现柳珊瑚15种,分别属于6科11属,其中新记录属和新记录种各2个,分别为Gua-iagorgia anas和星柳珊瑚（Astrogorgia dumbea）.结合2005年7月和本次对东山柳珊瑚的采样调查,共发现柳珊瑚19种,全部为不含共生藻的种类.（2）东山柳珊瑚优势种为小月柳珊瑚（Menella sp.）、刺柳珊瑚（Echinogorgia sp.）和小尖柳珊瑚（Muricella sp.）.（3）东山柳珊瑚主要分布在实验区,如塔屿东面、铁钉屿南面和龙屿南面,而在缓冲区和核心区也有柳珊瑚分布较为丰富的站位.在靠近主要污染源的站位,未见到或者很少见到柳珊瑚的分布.东山珊瑚保护区内柳珊瑚的空间分布与食物的丰富程度、海流以及陆源输入等都有较大的关系.     

舟山海域外来物种地中海贻贝的自然分布现状及生态影响

以筛选的2个可鉴别的地中海贻贝（Mytilus galloprovincialis）、厚壳贻贝（M.coruscus）及其杂交后代的PCR标记（扩增核基因Glu-5’特异片段PCR标记Me14/Me17和延伸因子1α第一个内含子区段PCR标记引物EFbisF/EFbisR）,对舟山海域3个贻贝主产区（马鞍列岛海域、浪岗山列岛海域、中街山列岛海域）采集的贻贝样本的种类进行鉴别.研究结果显示：100个马鞍列岛海域贻贝个体和30个中街山列岛海域贻贝个体均为厚壳贻贝;而54个浪岗山列岛海域贻贝样本中,16个个体（29.6%）为厚壳贻贝,38个个体（70.4%）为地中海贻贝;3个群体中均未检测到2种贻贝的杂交个体.因此,推测舟山海域地中海贻贝自然分布仅局限于局部海区,但在适宜的海区地中海贻贝可取代厚壳贻贝成为贻贝床的优势物种,舟山海域贻贝床的动态变化值得进一步关注;贻贝样本中没有检测到地中海贻贝与厚壳贻贝的杂交个体,表明调查海域可能没有杂交贻贝分布或数量极少,地中海贻贝通过杂交、基因渐渗污染厚壳贻贝基因组的风险较小.

Patterns of alien plant invasions in northwestern Patagonia, Argentina

Invasive plant species are a growing concern in many regions of the world, yet little information is available on the effects of habitat type and distance to urban settlements on the ability of alien plants to become established. We studied plant communities from the arid steppes to the Andean forest within two national parks and surroundings, in northwestern Patagonia, Argentina. Alien and native vascular plant species were sampled using 90 × 100 m² plots and analyzed in relation to both climatic and environmental variables and distance to urban centres. We also compared life-forms of alien and native species. Precipitation and distance to an urban centre were important determinants of alien species community richness and composition, and shrubland sites had significantly more alien species than forest or steppe sites. Alien flora (15% of the species) was composed of a higher proportion of annuals and biennials than native flora. Our results suggest that precipitation, distance to source population, and anthropogenic disturbance influence the invasion process in this region, together with the availability of open niches. This work stresses the importance of monitoring invasive species in natural reserves, and of considering habitat types as well as idiosyncratic characteristics of the non-natives for developing management strategies.     

Landscape and a political border determine desert arthropods distribution

We studied the distribution of arthropods in the Arava desert on both sides of the Israeli-Jordanian border, to assess the impact of different anthropogenic pressures on the local fauna. We examined how different landscape units, proximity to agricultural fields, and human societies, might affect the diversity of ground dwelling beetles, and spiders, using ordination and diversity estimation methods. Our results suggest that although both countries contain similar habitats, each has its own unique characteristics, probably due to different cultural practices. The immediate repercussion is that loss of a habitat on one side of the border cannot be compensated with preservation of the same habitat across the border, due to fauna dissimilarity. For example, beetle species can be assembled according to landscape units, but within each landscape unit they show dissimilarities that are based on the geopolitical location. Spiders fail to assemble according to landscape units but cluster as a unique group within Israel. Both landscape unit type and the border, were found to be important for the overall species diversity of this ecosystem and therefore “redundancy” should be carefully applied, especially across geopolitical borders.

Phylogenetic analysis of cultivable bacteria isolated from Arctic sea-ice

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA of 8 strains of cultivable bacteria isolated from Arctic sea-ice was studied.The results showed that strain BJ1 belonged to genus Planococcus,which was a genus of low mole percent G C gram-positive bacteria;strain BJ6 belonged to genus Burkholderia of β-proteobacteria and the rest 6 strain all belonged to γ-proteobacteria,of which strain BJ8 was a species of Pseudoalteromonas,strain BJ2-BJ5 and BJ7 were members of genus Psychrobacter.Phylogenetic analysis also indicated that bacteria of genus Psychrobacter of the isolates formed a relatively independent phylogenetic cluster in comparison with other bacteria belonged to genus Psychrobacter.     

大亚湾网箱养殖水体弧菌种类组成及变化

研究了海水网箱养殖海域弧菌数量变化、种类组成及其相关因素,探讨弧菌数量的变化与鱼病的关系。结果表明:网箱内水体弧菌数量为390~230 mL-1,平均为20.6×102mL-1,网箱外水体为130~1450 mL-1,平均为530 mL-1,非养殖对照海区为10~390 mL-1,平均为190 mL-1。养殖海区弧菌数量呈现明显的季节性变化,尤其是网箱水体,对照海区只在9月数量较高,其他时间变化不大。平均数量网箱内大于网箱外,网箱外大于对照海区。水体中出现的弧菌种类有河流弧菌Vibrio fluvialis,创伤弧菌Vibrio vulnifgicus,霍乱弧菌Vibrio cholerae,副溶血弧菌Vibrio parahaemolyticus,溶藻弧菌Vibrio alginolyticus,美人鱼弧菌Vibrio damsela,拟态弧菌Vibriomimicus和好利斯弧菌Vibrio hollisae,美人鱼弧菌、溶藻弧菌和霍乱弧菌占有较大优势。弧种数量与海水温度、盐度及营养盐有相关性,但其相关性因不同种和不同点而不同。检测期间,网箱养殖鱼类无明显流行病发生,但弧菌的高峰期明显与报道的鱼病高峰期相吻合。
