Genetic Relationships Among One Non-Endemic and Two Endemic Mediterranean Triplefin Blennies (Pisces, Blennioidei)

Abstract. Three triplefin blennies occur sympatrically in the Mediterranean Sea; Tripterygion tripteronotus and T. melanurus are endemic, whereas T. delaisi is also found in the Eastern Atlantic. Although very similar in morphology, ecology and behaviour, some striking differences exist among reproductive strategies. Several authors proposed hypotheses on the evolution of these species. In order to enhance insight into the genetic structure of this genus, an enzyme electrophoretic survey was performed. Samples of 40 to 45 specimens of each species were collected near Calvi (Corsica, France). Twenty-four enzyme loci were analysed, of which 17 appeared polymorphic. T. delaisi showed a high level of average observed heterozygosity (H_o) of 0.140, as opposed to very low levels of 0.009 and 0.021 in T. tripteronotus and T. melanurus , respectively. Nei's genetic distance was 0.21 between T. delaisi and T. tripteronotus , 0.35 between T. delaisi and T. melanurus and 0.45 between T. tripteronotus and T. melanurus . We hypothesise that divergence of these species started before the Pleistocene and that the endemic species survived the Pleistocene glaciations in refugia within the Mediterranean. The possibility that T. tripteronotus and T. delaisi diverged through sympatric speciation is discussed.     

Formation Mechanism of High Quality Marine Source Rocks—Coupled Control Mechanism of Geological Environment and Organism Evolution

High quality marine source rock (HQMSR) is the key prerequisite for medium to large hydrocarbon accumulations. However, the forming mechanism remains unclear. On the basis of the in-vestigation for the geodynamic setting of the Middle-Upper Yangtze during the Early Cambrian in dif-ferent spatial scales and the analysis of trace elements, the main controlling factors of the development of high quality marine source rock are discussed, with specific consideration of the burial rate of the organic matter.

Secondary geochemical dispersion in the Precambrian auriferous Hutti-Maski schist belt, Raichur district, Karnataka, India. Part I: anomalies of As, Sb, Hg and Bi in soil and groundwater

The nature of secondary geochemical dispersion of As, Sb, Hg and Bi in soil and ground water of the semi-arid, tropical, Archaean, auriferous, Hutti-Maski greenstone belt has been investigated for identification of appropriate geochemical techniques for Au exploration in similar terrains.Results indicate that the <180 μm size-fraction of C-horizon soil is an appropriate sampling medium for delineating pedogeochemical anomalies of As, Sb, Hg and Bi related to gold mineralisation. These pedogeochemical anomalies along with anomalous values of alkalinity, chloride, sulphate, As and Sb in groundwater are controlled significantly by primary mineralisation located along shear zones in the greenstone belt. Arsenic anomalies in soil are broad, whereas, those of Sb and Bi are restricted to narrow zones directly over mineralised areas. In contrast, Hg anomalies around known mineralised areas are irregular and do not clearly demarcate the mineralised areas. The study indicates that anomalies of As, Sb and Hg in soil are principally hydromorphic, whereas those of Bi are clastic.The study recommends use of groundwater sampling at 2–3 km spacing with routine analysis of chloride, sulphate and alkalinity along with As and Sb in the first phase. This may be followed up with sampling of C-horizon of soils on a 1 km square grid for As-anomalies. Arsenic-anomalous areas may be sampled for As, Sb, Hg and Bi on a 500 m square grid for detailed exploration.     

土壤中硒的生物有效性表征方法及影响因素研究进展

硒是人体必需的微量元素之一。土壤-植物体系是人体摄入硒的主要途径,但尚缺乏准确评价土壤中硒生物有效性的通用方法,且影响因素也复杂多样, 这些问题制约了富硒土地资源的利用。本文通过追踪近年来国内外研究成果,系统地总结及比较了化学提取法、梯度扩散薄膜法、区域尺度硒生物有效性评价方法的优缺点。传统的化学提取法如单一提取和顺序提取在一定程度上能够表征土壤中生物有效性硒,但提取过程中存在影响因素多和提取不完全等问题。梯度扩散薄膜技术(DGT)能够模拟植物的根系吸收过程,相比顺序提取能更好地表征硒的生物有效性,但由于复杂的自然体系和不同元素结合相的差异,野外原位表征技术上仍存在难度。通过大规模的农作物-根系土样本,建立土壤-农作物硒元素评价模型,模型参数为影响土壤硒有效性的理化指标(如土壤酸碱度、有机质含量、土壤硒总量等),能较好地预测区域尺度上硒生物有效性。本文还总结了影响植物吸收土壤中硒的因素如地形、土壤类型、硒的存在形态、土壤理化性质、植物种类、土壤老化等,认为地形和土壤类型、硒的存在形态、酸碱度和有机质是影响有效硒的主要因素,植物种类与土壤老化为次要因素。完善DGT等原位分析检测技术、改进元素形态分析方法是未来发展的重要方向。

Speciation of adsorbed arsenate on the surface of hydrous iron oxide

Adsorption of arsenate on hydrous iron oxide is an important process controlling geochemical cycling of arsenic in environment as well as the fate of arsenic-bearing mining wastes. The widely accepted view on the mechanism of adsorption is that arsenate is adsorbed via bidentate binuclear inner-sphere complexation. In this study, we characterized the arsenate-hydrous iron oxide sorption solids synthesized at pH=3-8 using Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy （FTIR） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. It has been determined that poorly crystalline ferric arsenate developed on the surface of iron oxide when arsenate was sorbed at acidic pH, while at alkaline pH the adsorption of arsenate was via bidentate complexation.     

Seasonal variations in the speciation of dissolved iodine in the Chesapeake Bay

The speciation of dissolved iodine and the distributions of the iodine species in the deep Chesapeake Bay underwent seasonal variations in response to changes in the prevailing redox condition. In the deep water, the ratios of iodate to iodide and iodate to inorganic iodine decreased progressively from the Winter through the Summer as the deep water became more poorly oxygenated before they rebounded in the Fall when the deep water became re-oxygenated again. The composition of the surface water followed the same trend. However, in this case, the higher biological activities in the Spring and the Summer could also have enhanced the biologically mediated reduction of iodate to iodide by phytoplankton and contributed to the lower ratios found during those seasons. Superimposed on this redox cycle was a cycle of input and removal of dissolved iodine probably as a result of the interactions between the water column and the underlying sediments. Iodine was added to the Bay during the Summer when the deep water was more reducing and removed from the Bay in the Fall when the deep water became re-oxygenated. A third cycle was the inter-conversion between inorganic iodine and ‘dissolved organic iodine’, or ‘‘DOI’’. The conversion of inorganic iodine to ‘DOI’ was more prevalent in the Spring. As a result of these biogeochemical reactions in the Bay, during exchanges between the Bay and the North Atlantic, iodate-rich and ‘DOI’-poor water was imported into the Bay while iodide- and ‘DOI’-rich water was exported to the Atlantic. The export of iodide from these geochemically reactive systems along the land margins contributes to the enrichment of iodide in the surface open oceans.     

湖北恩施地区土壤-植物系统中Se元素的 地球化学特征

在对恩施地区典型农业活动区——芭蕉、长平和鱼塘坝三地土壤中Se元素含量进行调查的基础上,通过与富Se土壤质量标准进行对比,发现除长平地区外,其余两地分别属于富Se和高Se地区,并通过土壤理化性质、形态分析和土壤中所生长的植物进行比较,初步研究了Se在土壤-植物体系中迁移转化的规律。结果表明：整体来看,鱼塘坝地区属于超富Se地区,植物中Se的含量也最高,长平地区属于非富Se地区,芭蕉地区则属于中等富Se地区;植物对Se的吸收受一定的土壤理化性质的影响,不同类型的植物对Se的吸收富集相差较大;形态分析研究表明,鱼塘坝地区土壤中生物可利用的Se含量较高,而芭蕉地区土壤中残渣态Se的比例较高,表现为Se的生物可利用性低于鱼塘坝地区。

为掌握尤溪铅锌矿区土壤重金属元素分布特征和污染现状,通过采集尤溪铅锌矿不同功能区0~20cm表层土壤样品,测定土壤中Pb、Zn、Cd、Cu、Cr 5种重金属元素的总量及其化学形态,分析不同功能区土壤重金属污染及分布特征,同时采用次生相与原生相比值法(RSP)进行污染评价。结果表明,尤溪铅锌矿不同功能区土壤中Pb、Zn、Cd含量均超过国家土壤环境质量三级标准,废弃冶炼区土壤Cd、Cu、Pb、Zn含量均最高,分别为标准值的14.78、1.13、3.73、1.34倍,采矿区Cr含量最高,但未超过标准限值。重金属形态结果表明,相比其他元素,Cd弱酸提取态所占比例最高,Cu可交换态比例最高,Pb、Zn、Cr以残渣态为主。RSP法评价表明,不同重金属的污染程度表现为:Cu(1.15)Cd(0.80)Pb(0.59)Zn(0.57)Cr(0.54);不同功能区土壤重金属污染表现为:尾矿库区冶炼区废弃冶炼区采矿区。SPEF法评价表明,尤溪铅锌矿区受人为污染明显,采矿区和尾矿库区Zn污染最为严重,冶炼区和废弃冶炼区Pb污染最为严重,功能区污染顺序为:尾矿库区冶炼区废弃冶炼区采矿区。     

打造我国主体能源(煤炭)升级版面临的主要问题与对策探讨

矿井水铁超标将腐蚀配水管道、工业设备,损害人体肝脏,威胁人类健康。煤系铁的含量、赋存形态及其在水–煤/岩作用过程中的溶解释放决定了矿井水中铁的富集或贫化。通过采集东部草原某矿区煤及岩石样品18组,利用等离子电感耦合质谱仪、X射线衍射、带能谱的扫描电镜、逐级化学提取,分析煤系铁的含量、赋存形态、赋存载体,开展室内水−煤/岩模拟试验,研究煤/岩中铁的释放机制。结果表明：煤与顶板砂岩中的铁含量均较高,18组煤/岩样中铁的富集因子均大于1;煤与砂岩中铁的赋存形态主要以残渣态为主,有机结合态次之,碳酸盐结合态与可交换态最少。煤中残渣态、碳酸盐结合态、可交换态铁的赋存载体分别为高岭石、菱铁矿、伊利石;砂岩中残渣态、碳酸盐结合态、可交换态铁的赋存载体分别为绿泥石、菱铁矿、伊利石。水–煤/岩相互作用过程中,煤与砂岩中铁的最大释放量分别为1.26、2.75 mg/L,显然砂岩中铁的释放量大于煤中。对比水−煤/岩作用前后煤/岩中铁的赋存形态变化可知,残渣态、有机结合态及铁锰氧化物结合态的铁含量基本不变,可交换态及碳酸盐结合态的铁含量均减小,这2种形态的铁稳定性差,迁移性强,易于释放进入水中,是导致矿井水中铁富集的主要原因,将为高铁矿井水的处理与利用提供基础。
