Within-taxon morphological diversity in late-Quaternary Neotoma as a paleoenvironmental indicator, Bonneville Basin, Northwestern Utah, USA     

R. Lee Lyman  Michael J. O'Brien 《Quaternary Research》2005,63(3):192-282

Ecological data indicate that as the amount of precipitation in an arid areas increases, so too does mammalian taxonomic richness. This correspondence has been found in two late-Quaternary mammalian faunas from Utah, one from Homestead Cave in the Bonneville Basin. We use the remains of two species of woodrat (Neotoma cinerea and Neotoma lepida) from Homestead Cave to test the hypothesis that as the amount of precipitation in an arid area increases, so too does morphological diversity within individual mammalian taxa. Morphological diversity is measured as corrected coefficients of variation and as richness of size classes of mandibular alveolar lengths. Coefficients of variation for N. cinerea are few and coincide with moisture history if temporally successive small samples are lumped together. More abundant coefficients of variation for N. lepida coincide only loosely with moisture history, likely because such coefficients measure dispersion but not necessarily other aspects of variation. Richness of size classes of N. lepida is high during the early and late Holocene when moisture was high, and lowest during the middle Holocene when climate was most arid.  相似文献   

Constructed wetland technology and mosquito populations in Arizona

Constructed wetlands and other aquatic habitat creation or restoration efforts offer both potential benefits and problems for arid areas. An unintentional consequence of these efforts has been the potential for an increase in local adult mosquito populations. Shallow water-emergent plant zones may provide ideal conditions for mosquito larval growth, and areas of high humidity, dense vegetation, and abundant birds and other wildlife may provide ideal conditions for adult mosquitoes. Three constructed wetlands in southern Arizona were studied over a period of years before and after they were constructed and operational. Mosquito populations were sampled using a variety of methods, primarily trapping of adults with CO₂-baited traps. Populations apparently increased, sometimes by several orders of magnitude, after wetlands became operational. Several methods of mosquito abatement were initiated and their results are discussed. However, no definitive conclusions can be drawn because no untreated areas were available for comparison and many factors that may have affected mosquito populations also changed. Based on the experience gained at these three sites, mosquito control is an especially important design and management component for constructed wetlands in arid environments with low background populations of mosquitoes.  相似文献   

Effect of Single Species or Mixed Algal (Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus acutus) Diets on the Life Table Demography of Brachionus calyciflorus and Brachionus patulus (Rotifera: Brachionidae)     

J. Flores‐Burgos  S. S. S. Sarma  S. Nandini 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2005,33(6):614-621

We tested the effect of two algal diets (Chlorella vulgaris at 1 · 10⁶ cells mL^?1and Scenedesmus acutus at 0.57 · 10⁶ cells mL^?1) offered alone or in combination (50 % each, 75 % or 25 % of either alga), at a total dry weight of 14.2 μg mL^?1on the life table demography of two rotifer species, Brachionus calyciflorus and Brachionus patulus. Data on fecundity indicated that, for any given algal food type or combination of food types, B. calyciflorus had a higher rate of offspring production than B. patulus. Regardless of the rotifer species, the average lifespan varied from 4 to 6 days. The gross and net reproductive rates were higher for B. calyciflorus than for B. patulus. These values ranged from 45 to 71 offspring female^?1 lifespan^?1 and 15 to 24 offspring female^?1 lifespan^?1, respectively, for B. calyciflorus. Generation times (around 4…5 days) were similar for both rotifer species in most of the treatments. Whatever the algal food combination, the rate of population increase (d^?1) of B. patulus was less than half (i.e. 45 %) of that for B. calyciflorus. The observed differences in the life history variables of Brachionus probably explain species‐specific adaptations to the changing phytoplankton composition occurring seasonally in natural waterbodies.  相似文献

先秦时期黄河下游存在的两大分流，各在其下游段形成九河分流系统，即冀州九河与兖州九河o《尔雅》释九河，实属兖州九河即《汉志》河下游分流水系，在今高唐、黄骅、利津之间。《禹贡》河所播冀州九河，在今深县、黄骅、天津、容城之间。古白洋淀消亡的关键因素是《禹贡》河泥沙的长期堆积，其消亡过程即为《禹贡》河九河的发育过程。  相似文献
