Bathynerita naticoidea (Gastropoda: Neritidae) and Methanoaricia dendrobranchiata (Polychaeta: Orbiniidae) are two of the most abundant invertebrates associated with cold‐seep mussel beds in the Gulf of Mexico. At the methane seep known as Brine Pool NR‐1 (27 °43.415 N, 91 °16.756 W; 650 m depth), which is surrounded by a broad band of mussels (Bathymodiolus childressi), these species have distinctly different patterns of abundance, with the gastropod being found mostly at the outer edge of the mussel bed (average density in November 2003: 817 individuals·m⁻² in outer zone, 20·m⁻² in inner zone) and the polychaete being found almost exclusively near the inner edge (average density in November 2003: 3155 individuals·m⁻² in inner zone, 0·m⁻² in outer zone), adjacent to the brine pool itself. The salinity of the brine pool exceeds 120, so we hypothesized that M. dendrobranchiata should be more tolerant of high salinities than B. naticoidea. The opposite proved to be true. The gastropods were capable of withstanding salinities at least as high as 85, whereas the polychaetes died at salinities higher than 75. Both species were osmoconformers over the range of salinities (35–75) tested. Behavioral responses of B. naticoidea to salinities of 50, 60, and 70 were investigated in inverted vertical haloclines. Gastropods generally did not enter water of salinity greater than 60, but tolerated short periods at 60. Behavioral avoidance of brine should limit the vertical distribution of B. naticoidea in the inner zone to the top 2.5–5 cm of the mussel bed. Behavior is also a likely (though unproven) mechanism for controlling horizontal distribution of this species across the mussel bed. Methanoaricia dendrobranchiata can tolerate short excursions into the brine, but probably avoids hypersaline conditions by aggregating on the tops of the mussels.  相似文献   

真鲷三倍体诱导初步研究     

蔡国雄 《热带海洋学报》1997,(4)

在真鲷Pagrosomusmajor三倍体诱导研究中，对染色体倍数的分析表明，受精卵受精5min后，在1．5℃冰水中处理5min，可获得17％的三倍体诱导率和28％的嵌合体比率，染色体数分别是：2N＝48，3N＝7Z，嵌合体50—68。仔鱼红血细胞测量和组织切片分析显示，三倍体和二倍体的红血细胞核直径（长径，下同）、视网膜神经节细胞核直径和中脑细胞核直径大小存在差异，其比率分别是1．42，1．35和1．41，这种差别必然导致三倍体鱼和二倍体鱼在代谢与功能方面的差异。应加强对鱼类三倍体形成机制及应用潜力的研究，同时注意开展其生理学、生化学和行为学的比较研究。  相似文献   

Persistent volcanic signature observed around Barren Island, Andaman Sea, India     

C. M. Laluraj  K. K. Balachandran  P. Sabu  S. U. Panampunnayil 《Marine Geophysical Researches》2006,27(4):283-288

This study delineates the formation of a warm pool (>34°C) of air to the west (downwind) of the active volcano of the Barren Island during October–November 2005. Barren Island is located in the Sumatra–Andaman region, about 135 km east of Port Blair, and lies within the Burma microplate, the southern tip of which experienced a submarine earthquake (M _w 9.3) causing a tsunami in December 2004. Barren Island is the only volcano, which has shown sustained eruptive activity since shortly after the Great Sumatran Earthquake of December 2004. Our observations require further corroboration to relate how submarine earthquakes activate volcanoes and how far these thermal emissions influence climate changes. Because it links global warming and climate changes to the frequent emissions from a volcano activated by submarine earthquakes, this case study is of special interest to the earth-ocean-atmosphere sciences community.  相似文献

高空大气温度变化趋势不确定性的研究进展   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

郭艳君 《地球科学进展》2008,23(1):24-30

IPCC第4次评估报告指出：近50年来,全球对流层温度趋于升高、平流层趋于下降;同时强调了研究结果中普遍存在的不确定性,造成不确定性的主要原因是原始资料、台站选取和不同均一化方法。从理论基础入手,系统地总结了国内、外近年来高空大气温度长期变化趋势的研究成果及其不确定性产生的主要原因,详细介绍了高空大气温度序列的质量控制和均一化方法,并对我国探空台站温度序列的不确定性进行了探讨。利用静力学方法进行质量控制,以最大资料缺测率30%作为序列取舍标准,用两相回归法和再分析序列均一化处理116个中国探空站高空温度序列。研究结果表明,1958年以来我国对流层中低层趋于升温,其中1980年以后升温尤为明显;而平流层下层显示降温。   相似文献   

氮气、氧气和空气水合物的合成及其拉曼光谱特征   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

刘昌岭  业渝光  卢海龙 《现代地质》2008,22(3):480-484

在-20℃和不同的压力下,在实验室内分别合成了氮气水合物(16MPa)、氧气水合物(13MPa)和空气水合物(15MPa),并对其N—N和O—O键伸缩振动的拉曼光谱特征进行了研究。结果表明,人工合成的水合物中的N—N和O—O键的拉曼位移与天然的空气水合物中的数据十分接近。在氮气水合物和空气水合物中,N—N键的拉曼峰值均为2322.4cm-1;O—O键的拉曼峰值在氧气水合物和空气水合物保持一致,均为1547.8cm-1。空气水合物分解的拉曼谱图表明,它不是氮气水合物和氧气水合物组成的混合物,而是由氮分子和氧分子共同生成的单一水合物,氮分子和氧分子同时进入水合物的大笼和小笼中。与空气中的氮、氧比例相比,水合物中氧分子明显富集,氮分子和氧分子的比例为2.4∶1。  相似文献

SOME NEW UNDERSTANDINGS OF LAND-SURFACE PROCESSES IN ARID AREA FROM THE HEIFE^*          下载免费PDF全文

Hu Yinqiao  Gao Youxi 《Acta Meteorologica Sinica》1996,10(2):233-246

The survey for the HEIFE(Atmosphere-Land Surface Processes Experiment at Heihe River Basin,Western China) is given in the paper.The following basic subjects for land-surface processes in arid areas are studied:(1) the general characteristics of the energy budget on ground surface in arid areas;(2) the parameterization of the land surface processes;(3) the interaction between oasis and its desert circumstances,a special phenomenon in arid areas.The analysis shows that the sensible heat flux in the surface energy budget is in the majority,and the latent heat flux may be neglected.The influence of atmospheric stratification stability on the turbulent transfer of energy and substance must be considered in parameterization of land surface processes in arid areas.The "cold island effect" phenomenon in oasis and the "humidity inversion" phenomenon in desert near oasis are the result of the interaction between them.The results would improve the understanding of land surface processes in arid areas.  相似文献
