滩地人工林营林措施对钉螺种群的影响

通过对滩地不同经营措施的杨树人工林内钉螺种群影响的长期定位观测和分析研究,结果显示:①在低海拔淹水时间达60天的滩地,采用挖沟抬垄整地是确保人工林营造成功和有效抑螺的重要措施;②在幼林阶段,采用林农复合经营是抑螺防病林经营的有效措施;③随着林木的生长,树木对林地环境的改善强度加大,其对钉螺种群的抑制效果逐渐加强,使钉螺种群密度保持较低的水平。因此,对钉螺滋生的滩地采取针对性的造林技术和措施,即可增加林地的经济产出,更为重要的是可有效抑制钉螺的种群数量,同时辅以对家畜的管理,可使林地内的感染性钉螺降至零,达到了滩地利用与抑制钉螺的双重目标。     

The carbon Cepheid RT Trianguli Australis: additional evidence of triple-α and CNO cycling

We have used echelle spectra of resolving power 35 000 to derive chemical abundances and the ¹²C/¹³C ratio in the 1.9-d carbon Cepheid RT TrA and the Cepheid U TrA, employed as a comparison star. We confirm that RT TrA is very metal-rich with [Fe/H]=+0.4. In addition, C and N are substantially in excess, and a small deficiency in O is present. We interpret these anomalies as resulting from the appearance on the stellar surface of material enriched in ¹²C by the 3- α process, followed by CNO cycling to convert ¹²C to ¹³C and ¹⁴N. In addition, some ¹⁶O has been processed to ¹⁴N. The partial processing of ¹⁶O to ¹⁴N indicates that substantial ¹⁷O may be present. Proton capture seems to have enhanced ²³Na from the Ne isotopes.

北部湾拟穴青蟹(Scylla paramamosain)群体遗传结构及其扩张分析

利用线粒体16SrRNA基因片段分析北部湾拟穴青蟹群体遗传结构及其扩张历史。结果表明,16SrRNA基因片段长度在521—523bp之间,6个拟穴青蟹群体具21种单倍型。群体总体水平的单倍型多样性(h)和核甘酸多样性(π)分别为0.6259和0.001851。群体间遗传距离与地理距离之间无相关性。群体间遗传分化系数(Gst)在0.02008—0.04362之间,基因流(Nm)值在5.48—12.20之间。AMOVA分析表明,群体间遗传变异占0.1%,群体内遗传变异占99.9%。群体间固定指数(Fst)的绝对值在0.00026—0.02977之间,暗示群体间没有产生遗传分化。单倍型邻接树和单倍型中介网络图显示,单倍型没有按采样地形成谱系分支。中性检验和错配分析揭示,北部湾拟穴青蟹群体在历史上经历过群体扩张。群体扩张时间大致在更新世晚期的0.04698—0.01879MY前或0.04520—0.01808MY前。     

Influence of stock origin and environmental conditions on the survival and growth of juvenile freshwater pearl mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera) in a cross-exposure experiment

The freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera) is a highly specialized and sensitive freshwater bivalve, whose survival in the juvenile phase is indicative of high quality habitats. This contribution investigates the use of juvenile freshwater pearl mussels as bioindicators, considering the influence of mussel stock and study stream conditions on juvenile performance, as described by survival and growth rates. A standardized cross experiment was carried out investigating juvenile performance in four different pearl mussel stocks originating from the Rhine, Danube and Elbe drainages, representing distinct genetic conservation units. The juveniles were exposed in five study streams which were selected to integrate pearl mussel streams with different water qualities and recruitment status of the mussel population. Per study stream, five standard mesh cages containing an equal number of 20 (10 × 2) juvenile pearl mussels per stock in separate chambers were installed. Survival and growth rates of juveniles were checked after three months (i.e. before their first winter) and after nine months (i.e. after their first winter). Mussel stock and study stream conditions significantly influenced juvenile performance. Growth rates were determined by study stream conditions and increased with stream water temperature, organic carbon and C/N ratios. Survival rates varied stock-specifically, indicating different levels of local adaptation to their native streams. Due to the detection of stream-specific differences in juvenile performance, freshwater pearl mussels appear suitable as bioindicators. However, a careful consideration of stock-specificity is necessary to avoid false interpretation of bioindication results. The comparison of stock-specific survival in native versus non-native streams implicates that exposure of juveniles outside their native habitats is able to increase breeding success or else serve for risk spreading in breeding programs.     

Carbon monoxide in low-mass dwarf stars

We compare high-resolution infrared observations of the CO 2–0 bands in the 2.297–2.310 μm region of M dwarfs and one L dwarf with theoretical expectations. We find a good match between the observational and synthetic spectra throughout the 2000–3500 K temperature regime investigated. None the less, for the 2500–3500 K temperature range, the temperatures that we derive from synthetic spectral fits are higher than expected from more empirical methods by several hundred kelvin. In order to reconcile our findings with the empirical temperature scale, it is necessary to invoke warming of the model atmosphere used to construct the synthetic spectra. We consider that the most likely reason for the back-warming is missing high-temperature opacity due to water vapour. We compare the water vapour opacity of the Partridge–Schwenke line list used for the model atmosphere with the output from a preliminary calculation by Barber & Tennyson. While the Partridge–Schwenke line list is a reasonable spectroscopic match for the new line list at 2000 K, by 4000 K it is missing around 25 per cent of the water vapour opacity. We thus consider that the offset between empirical and synthetic temperature scales is explained by the lack of hot water vapour used for computation of the synthetic spectra. For our coolest objects with temperatures below 2500 K, we find best fits when using synthetic spectra which include dust emission. Our spectra also allow us to constrain the rotational velocities of our sources, and these velocities are consistent with the broad trend of rotational velocities increasing from M to L.

Migration in a transitional economy: Beyond the planned and spontaneous dichotomy in Vietnam

Migration is frequently portrayed as a negative force in its relationship with economic and social development. This negative perception is exhibited through describing population movements as either ‘forced’ (e.g. political and environmental refugees) or ‘voluntary’ movements (e.g. economic and uninhibited relocation). This paper examines the limitations of this conceptual dualism. It points out that the dualistic approach, widely used in the context of developing countries, simplifies a highly complex phenomenon by ignoring its essential heterogeneity and spatial and temporal dynamics. As such, it is limited in explaining and understanding the globally diversified, historically and politically contextualised situations. Focusing on the migratory experiences of contemporary Vietnam, the study identifies major patterns and trends of population mobility in the country in the past fifty years. It shows that despite the state’s continued attempts to reshape the spatial distribution of population over recent historical periods, the policy outcomes with respect to population mobility have been swayed as much by individuals and their families in pursuit of their own aspirations and livelihoods as by state plans. The Vietnam case has provided evidence of a much more complicated relationship between migration and livelihoods than the conceptual dichotomy assumes, and the opportunity for a richer set of policy options. We argue that the evidence from Vietnam, and elsewhere, warrants an integrated approach to studying migration, combining analysis at the macro- and micro-levels with the nexus lying at the critical decision-making point of the individual or household.
