Movement and Home Ranges of Dugongs Around the Lease Islands, East Indonesia

Abstract. Four individual dugongs Dugong dugong , MÜLLER, 1776 were tracked with buoyant, tethered. conventional and satellite radio transmitters. The dugongs three adult females and one immature male were encircled with a net at a catch site near Haruku Island, East Indonesia, and tracked for between 41 and 285 days. The animals showed individualistic patterns of movement, moving between 2 and 3 core areas, travelling between 17 and 65 km from the site of capture. One adult female spent most of the time at two distinct inshore seagrass beds separated by about 17 km; she made five trips between the two sites. Two other females made separate trips to two distinct sites, one of them returning to the catch site at Haruku Island. The immature male journeyed between two areas about 65 km apart. completing the journey in four days. The patterns of movement confirmed a practice of regular recropping of restricted grazing swards by small, loose feeding assemblages rather than fixed herds with a strong social bond. Mean home ranges covered 4.1 km² 50% harmonic mean and 43.4 km² 95% harmonic mean.     

水声学方法对黄河口水下底坡失稳现象研究

对黄河三角洲东北部地区的高分辨率水声学资料进行了综合研究。根据所记录的破坏土体变形程度、运动产生的平面形状和地貌特征形态,对土体失稳过程进行分类：浅表土体变形、塌陷凹坑、滑坡和沉积物重力流。结果表明：（１）浅表土体形变的变形程度最低,出现在研究区斜坡上部平滑海底,主要为绳网状泄水构造和表层拉张裂隙。（２）塌陷凹坑在研究区内广泛出现,是局部土体液化后发生了垂直沉降的结果。（３）滑坡多发生在水下斜坡的中上部,由弧形塌陷区、狭窄的冲沟通道和负地形沉积物堆积区组成。滑坡陡坎后缘发现拉张裂隙。（４）沉积物重力流是土体发生变形程度最大,搬运距离最长的土体破坏变形形式。局部区域多次受到沉积物重力流切割和充填作用。     

南京玄武湖隆腺溞(Daphnia carinata)牧食对浮游植物的影响

隆腺溞(Daphnia carinata)是许多湖泊的常见大型浮游动物,习居于富营养的水域中,以浮游植物为食,且滤食效率较高.通过浮游动物添加实验,研究了隆腺潘对南京玄武湖叶绿素和浮游植物群落结构的影响.结果表明,在隆腺涵组,浮游植物密度较对照组降低了83%,叶绿素较对照组下降了81%,氮、磷营养盐与叶绿素的相关性不显著.浮游植物的群落结构较对照组也发生了很大变化,蓝藻、绿藻和硅藻的比例有显著上升,隐藻呈显著下降趋势,金藻、甲藻和裸藻在实验结束时已没有检出.说明隆腺潘的摄食能有效控制浮游植物的生物量,可对浮游植物的群落结构产生显著影响.     

煤层气成藏的宏观动力能条件及其地质演化过程--以山西沁水盆地为例

煤层气成藏维系于其能量平衡系统,宏观上受控于“四场互动”过程,核心是能量的有效传递及其地质选择过程。以沁水盆地为例,对构造动力能、热动力能、地下水动力能等宏观动力能的地质演化过程进行了深入探讨,阐明了不同宏观动力能对煤层气成藏的控制作用。结果表明:研究区构造动力能及其演化总体经历了4个阶段;热动力能及其演化和由其控制的煤化作用同样经历了4个阶段;地下水动力能及其演化包括3个阶段。其中,燕山中期的剧烈岩浆活动是宏观动力能条件演化的关键时期。以构造动力能为主线,将其他能量场贯穿起来,可知宏观动力能与煤层气成藏之间的耦合关系如下:盆地北部阳泉—寿阳区域,是煤层气成藏有利区域之一,但不利于煤层气高产;盆地南部晋城—阳城及沁水北部区域,不仅是煤层气成藏有利区域,而且利于煤层气高产;盆地中部沁源地区是煤层气成藏和高产的有利区域;盆地东部的屯留—襄垣区域是煤层气成藏有利区域之一,但不利于煤层气高产。

Assessing the ecosystem effects of the abalone Haliotis midae from its diet and foraging behaviour

The South African abalone Haliotis midae is commercially exploited and seriously threatened by overfishing. This not only affects the species itself but potentially the functioning of the ecosystem because of associated changes in community structure. The nature of effects that can follow the loss or reduction of a species depends in part on its position in the foodweb and its feeding behaviour. To assess the ecosystem effects of the adults and subadults of this previously abundant herbivore on the south-west coast of South Africa, we studied their diet and mode of food procurement by (a) in-field observations of adult and subadult abalone, (b) analysis of the gut contents of adults, (c) comparison of diet with the availability of algae, and (d) a mesocosm experiment on subadult feeding behaviour. Both field and dietary studies showed that adults subsist mainly by trapping drift kelp, but also occasionally graze on attached algae such as Plocamium spp., and feed in a manner that is highly selective, with drift kelp constituting 95–98% of the diet, and several species of common algae being avoided. In the mesocosm experiment, subadults preferentially fed on drift kelp, but emerged at night to a greater extent to graze on microflora if no drift material was available. Their propensity to emerge was, however, reduced if the rock lobster Jasus lalandii was present. Collectively, this evidence indicates that any ecosystem effects that subadults and adults of H. midae have as grazers will be weak because they feed mainly by trapping drift material, and the frequency of grazing and the incidence of consumption of attached algae are low.     

Insights into zooplankton‐cyanobacteria interactions derived from enclosure studies

Few workers have used enclosures specifically to study interactions between zoo‐plankton and cyanobacteria. Differences among studies in enclosure size, nutrient level, plankton abundance and species composition, presence or absence of fish, and length of experiments make generalisations difficult. Zooplankton had no direct effect on the growth of ungrazed cyanobacteria (Anabaena flos‐aquae, Aphanizomenon flos‐aquae, large Microcystis colonies) in short‐term (<5 days) and long‐term (> 1 month) enclosure studies. When large cyanobacteria were abundant, some Daphnia spp. snowed reduced reproduction and development. When large grazers were abundant they suppressed the growth of edible, colonial cyanobacteria (Aphanizomenon elenkinii, small Microcystis colonies). By altering the ambient light and nutrient environment, large zooplankton may suppress cyanobacteria; evidence for the importance of grazers in promoting cyanobacterial dominance by removing competing phytoplankton species is equivocal. Zooplankton may suppress nitrogen fixation by cyanobacteria through ammonia excretion and may promote a change in dominance from diatoms to cyanobacteria through recycling phosphorus but not silicon.
