基于层次分析法的莱州湾鱼卵、仔稚鱼评估

作者采用层次分析法对莱州湾鱼卵、仔稚鱼群落结构进行评估,旨在为渔业水域生态环境保护和渔业资源的合理利用提供参考和依据。根据2014年5月、6月和9月对莱州湾鱼卵、仔稚鱼的调查结果,分别以生物、经济、化学3类评价指标构建层次结构模型,最终计算得到各站位评分。结果表明:2014年夏季到秋季的时间变化中,莱州湾鱼卵、仔稚鱼群落结构最优区域的分布存在由近岸向中央区域转移的明显趋势。同时,在评估结果方面,针对评估体系中化学指标的存在与否,莱州湾近岸区域相对于中央区域反应更加敏感。     

武汉东湖沉积物中轮虫休眠卵的分布

报道了１９９２年８月￣１９９３年７月间武汉东湖营养类型不同的３个湖区沉积物中轮虫休眠的卵数量和分布。不论湖区营养类型如何,沉积物中的休眠卵数量均呈“Ｖ”形垂直分布,表层高,底层低,由表向底数量逐渐递减。在３个湖区中,休眠卵的数量随水体营养水平的增高而增加。营养水平最高的Ⅰ站其休眠卵数量年平均为１．３２个／ｃｍ＾３,营养水平较低的Ⅱ、Ⅲ站分别为０．７４个／ｃｍ＾３、０．７１个／ｃｍ＾３。休眠卵的数量     

安徽齐云山晚白垩世恐龙蛋矿物和元素组成及古环境分析

安徽齐云山新发现的恐龙蛋化石保存完好,是研究该地区晚白垩世恐龙动物群生活环境及绝灭的关键。本文采用粉晶X射线衍射法(XRD)、电感耦合等离子体发射光谱/质谱法(ICP-OES/MS)分析齐云山恐龙蛋壳、蛋核及围岩的宏观矿物及主量、微量元素组成,以探讨齐云山晚白垩世古环境和古气候特征。结果表明:恐龙蛋壳主要矿物组成为方解石和石英,且蛋内外物质矿物组成相似,主要为石英和长石;而元素组成包括常量元素Ca、Na、Mg、K、Al和Fe及微量元素Sr、Zn、Ba、As、Ti、V、Cr、Co、Ni、Cu、Mn、Pb、La、U和Ir,其中Sr在蛋壳中含量的平均值为6199.3×10~(-6),高于河南西峡及广东南雄大部分恐龙蛋壳中的Sr含量,蛋壳中Ir含量的平均值为59.6×10~(-12),Sr和Ir与背景值相比均有明显异常,分析认为是恐龙与外界进行物质交换时吸收有害元素引起的。而As、Mn和Pb的富集及Zn的不足可能使恐龙机体中毒进而灭绝。围岩中Fe含量的增加表明齐云山地区晚白垩世为干旱炎热的气候条件,与Fe呈正相关性的Ir元素随Fe含量的增加而富集,且越靠近K/T界线,围岩中Sr和Ir元素含量越高,这是导致该地区恐龙动物群绝灭的原因之一。此结论为研究齐云山地区恐龙动物群的生活环境提供了依据。     

从浙江天台白垩纪蛋化石复原恐龙类群

浙江天台盆地白垩纪地层中,已发现了甲龙类及慢龙类等恐龙骨骼化石及数以千计的蛋化石,其中许多为恐龙蛋化石。根据国内外相同类型的蛋化石中迄今已发现的恐龙胚胎化石研究成果,可大致确定其中一部分蛋化石分别是由鸭嘴龙类、巨龙类、慢龙类、盗蛋龙类、伤齿龙类和暴龙类等恐龙所产。并发现鸭嘴龙类、巨龙类和慢龙类的圆形蛋、副圆形蛋在数量上占绝大多数,盗蛋龙的长形蛋和伤齿龙的棱柱形蛋较少,暴龙类的巨型长形蛋最少,从而反映了他们各自在生态金字塔中的位置。

The increasing number of fossil pterosaur eggs sheds light on nesting environments and breeding be- haviors of these extinct flying reptiles. Here we report the first partial three-dimensional egg of the pterosaur, Pteroduustro guinazui, from central Argentina. The specimen was discovered from the same Albian deposits as the exceptional R guinazui embryo described in 2004. Microscopic characterizations indicate a pristine preservation of the 50 Bm thick calcium carbonate, which differs significantly from the soft shell of Chinese pterosaur eggs. Estimate of the eggshell conductance implies that the nest had a minimum moisture content of 75%. This moisture estimate, combined with geological and taphonomical data, suggests that P. guinazui may have adopted a nesting strategy similar to those of grebes and flamingos rather than being buried on land, as previously hypothesized. Moreover, our results demon- strate that the nesting paleoenvironment of this pterosaur species was closely linked to a mesohaline lacustrine ecosystem in a basin governed by regional tectonic subsidence, a setting characteristic for the feeding and reproduction of modern flamingos.     

Knoblochia cretacea,Late Cretaceous insect eggs from Central Europe

The genus Knoblochia is established for fossil insect eggs. The fossils are small, longitudinally ridged, ovoid to round with projections on both ends. Their thin perforated wall is covered by minute papillae, inner surface of the wall is smooth or covered by rectangular files of cells. Fossils assigned here to Knoblochia cretacea were earlier assigned to the genus Spirellea, which encompass a heterogenous complex of small fossils being or resembling angiosperm seeds from the Late Cretaceous. The majority of species of the genus Spirellea clearly represents remains of angiosperms. However, fossils described by Knobloch and Mai (1986) as Spirellea kvacekii are distinct, particularly in having external walls perforated, neither apex nor basal projection showing any absition scar or micropyle in the botanical sense. Attribution of these fossils to insects led us to designate the new name Knoblochia cretacea with a new holotype for fossils of this kind. Comparison of Knoblochia with insect eggs of species of Phasmatodea and Lepidoptera, and seeds of Stemonaceae showed clear affinity to insects. Due to the high amount of extinction among insects since the Cretaceous, the systematic affinity of Knoblochia remains open.     

Modulation of longevity in Daphnia magna by food quality and simultaneous exposure to dissolved humic substances

Various abiotic and biotic factors determine the natural fluctuations of Daphnia spec. populations; food quality and dissolved humic substances (HSs) being among these factors. In this contribution, we try to disentangle the relative impact of food quality and simultaneous HSs exposure on the fertility and longevity of D. magna. It is understood that HS-mediated stress leads to reduced fecundity in well-fed D. magna females; hence, it was expected that poor food, as a second stressor, would aggravate the HS-mediated effects. Three diets were tested: the green algae Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, baker’s yeast alone, and baker’s yeast plus dissolved ascorbic acid, and exposed D. magna to a HS preparation which has been shown effective in previous bioassays. It was hypothesized that the lifespan and fertility of D. magna would be best when fed green algae, and worst when fed only baker’s yeast. However, contrary to these expectations, any addition of HSs reduced the stress caused by poor food quality and increased lifespan and fecundity. In the yeast series, asexually produced diapausing eggs occurred via a so far unknown pathway. With yeast diet, the expanded lifespans were slightly above, whereas the increased offspring numbers lay below, the corresponding data of the algae-fed individuals. The potential of HSs as an additional food source and as a means to extend the lifespan is discussed. These findings open the innovative perspective that under low quality food conditions, additional stressors at certain intensities may even be beneficial to individuals and populations.
