Ontogenetic shifts and temporal changes in the trophic patterns of the deep‐sea red shrimp,Aristaeomorpha foliacea (Decapods: Aristeidae), in the Eastern Ionian Sea (Eastern Mediterranean)

The purpose of this paper is to provide the first detailed data concerning the diet and feeding activity of the giant red shrimp, Aristaeomorpha foliacea, in the Eastern Ionian Sea (Eastern Mediterranean), in relation to season, size class and sex. Feeding activity in A. foliacea was intense, based on its low vacuity index and high prey diversity, with a diet dominated by mesopelagic prey and less frequent occurrence of benthic taxa. Giant red shrimp displayed a highly diversified diet that exhibited slight seasonal fluctuations. The diets of both sexes consisted of 60 different prey categories belonging chiefly to three groups: crustaceans (e.g. decapods, such as Plesionika spp. and Pasiphaeidae, amphipods), cephalopods (mainly Enoploteuthidae) and fishes (Myctophidae, Macrouridae). These three prey categories accounted for 72–82% of the relative abundance and total occurrence for males and 70–88% for females, respectively. Variation in food availability, as well as increased energy demands related to gonad development and breeding activity, appear to be critical factors driving temporal changes in feeding strategy. Feeding activity increased during spring and summer, which coincides with reproductive activities (mating, gonad maturation, egg‐laying). Females seem to be more active predators than males, consuming prey with greater swimming ability. However, ontogenetic shifts in diet were also apparent, despite high dietary overlap among small, medium and large females. Large individuals, which are more efficient predators, selected highly mobile prey (e.g. fishes), whereas small individuals consumed low‐mobility prey (e.g. copepods, ostracods, tanaids and sipunculans).

巨型矿床勘查新战略一一信息找矿

直接信息是最可靠的找矿信息,在矿产勘查中必须起先导的作用。直接信息与间接信息在一定条件和环境下可以互相转化的,只有在信息具有直接指示矿床存在和分布的特性时,它才会发挥实际的找矿效能。因此,多学科信息的收集和综合分析,是信息找矿战略实施的核心。信息找矿战略可以表述为“针对巨型矿床勘查,我们应当瞄准稳陷伏矿和难识别矿,以直接找矿信息（化探资料）为先导,综合地质和地球物理信息,迅速掌握全局,逐步缩小靶区

储层液体包裹体测试分析是研究油气运移、成藏时间和期次和问题的一种非效的方法,克拉２气田储层流体包裹体类及其丰度统计分析表明,烃类包裹体丰度与储层含油气必一之间具有明显相关性,根据包裹体产状,均一温度和包裹体成分拉曼光谱分析结果发现,油气在成岩早期就开始注入,并一直保存在储层中,直到后期才裂解成干气,有机包裹体均一温度表现为一个主峰,盐水包裹体均一温度有三个区间（峰值）,其中第一个峰值与有机包裹体一     

砗磲研究现状及在我国南海开展养殖的前景

砗磲是软体动物门瓣鳃纲砗磲科生物的统称,广泛分布于热带珊瑚礁海域。20世纪八九十年代,澳大利亚、美国以及菲律宾等太平洋岛屿国家集中开展了砗磲增养殖及与之相关的生理、生态和经济学等基础研究。砗磲通过与其共生的虫黄藻获得营养,这一特性使得砗磲生长速度极快。砗磲的单位面积保有量可达400t·hm-2,使得它们在热带珊瑚礁海域中具有重要的生态学和养殖意义。不仅如此,砗磲在其生长过程中所体现出来的珊瑚礁修复价值以及碳汇渔业价值对于海洋开发和保护都有着极其重要的意义。同时,我国南海拥有环境优越的广阔热带海域,可开展砗磲养殖的面积达3000km2以上。结合以上认识,作者认为砗磲养殖具有形成热带海洋贝类养殖重大产业的潜力,可以为我国南海珊瑚礁保护和生态文明建设工程提供支撑。     

月球晚期重轰击和Nice模式

晚期重轰击(一般又称为月球灾难,简称LHB)指的是距今约3.8~4.1 Ga时段月球受到大量陨石的轰击,于月面上形成的大量撞击坑,并推论地球、水星、金星和火星也经历了这样一次重轰击。Nice模式是关于太阳系动力学演化的一种设想:在初始原行星气体星盘消散之后很久,大行星从最初紧凑的组构迁移到目前的位置。这个行星迁移理论用来解释包括内太阳系的晚期重轰击,以及Oort云、Kuiper带、海王星和木星Trojans行星等形成的历史事件。     

Dwarf LSB galaxies and their environment: The Virgo Cluster, the Ursa Major Cluster, isolated galaxies and voids

The widely varying dwarf galaxy counts in different environments provide a strong challenge to standard hierarchical clustering models. The luminosity function is not universal, but seems to be strongly dependent upon environment. In this paper we describe an automated procedure for detecting and measuring very Low Surface Brightness (LSB) features in deep CCD data. We apply this procedure to large area CCD survey fields of the Virgo cluster and find 105 dwarf LSB galaxies previously uncatalogued over an area of ∼14 sq deg. We show that there are many more faint (14≤M_B≤–10) LSB galaxies than would be predicted from extrapolation of the Virgo cluster catalogue luminosity function. Over our limited range of measurement the faint end slope of the luminosity function becomesα=–1.6. Although these galaxies contribute a small fraction of the total stellar light of the cluster, they may contribute significantly to the mass in galaxies if they have large mass-to-light ratios similar to those recently measured for Local Group dwarf galaxies. By a comparison with different environments, the Virgo Cluster seems to be highly `dwarf rich' if considering the dwarf to giant ratio or it's luminosity function faint end slope. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Strong pulses from pulsar PSR J0034-0721

We present an analysis of strong single pulses from PSR J0034-0721. Our observations were made using the Urumqi 25-m radio telescope at a radio frequency of 1.54GHz. A total of 353 strong pulses were detected during eight hours of observing. The signal-to-noise ratios of the detected pulses range from 5 to 11.5. The peak fluxes of those pulses are 17 to 39 times that of the average pulse peak. The cumulative distribution of the signal-to-noise ratios of these strong pulses has a rough power-law distribution...
