云南东南部和西北部绿孔雀分布的调查

绿孔雀是国家I级重点保护鸟类. 在《Endangered Birds of the W orld-The ICBP Bird Red Data Book》(King, 1981)及《1990 IUCN Red List of Threatened Animals》中均将其列为易危种. 在CITES中被列入附录2. 据文献记载:绿孔雀在中国分布于云南(郑作新, 1987)和西藏东南部(尹秉高等, 1993). 历史上云南东南部的开远、建水和文山县曾记载有绿孔雀分布(《云南通志》, 明隆庆六年, 1572). 现代著作中(彭燕章等, 1987; 郑宝责等, 1987; 张帆等, 1987; 杨岚, 1989, 1991; 文贤继等, 1995; 杨晓君, 1995)记录云南省东南部的蒙自、金平、绿春、河口、弥勒、建水、石屏等7个县有绿孔雀分布. 另据当地群众反映在滇西北迪庆州发现有绿孔雀. 作者于1995年4-6月、11-12月和1996年4-6月在以往对绿孔雀分布现状调查(文贤继等, 1995)的基础上, 对云南东南部和西北部绿孔雀的分布现状及保护情况又进行了调查, 本次调查对绿孔雀在上述地区的分布状况进行了核实, 为今后的生态生物学研究和保护工作提供了有关资料。

Observations on the biology of Nothobranchius guentheri (Pfeffer) (Cyprinodontidae), an annual fish from the coastal region of East Africa

Nothobranchius guntheri is found in seasonal pools and streams in the coastal region of Tanzania. A population recurring annually in a pond near Kilosa has been studied. Growth in length was rapid and maximum mean lengths were attained within 11-12 and 7-8 weeks of hatching by males and females respectively. Males grew larger and exhibited wider variation in length than females. N. guentheri shows clear sexual dichromatism. No significant inequality in the sex ratio was found. Females with ripe eggs were found 7-8 weeks after hatching. Spawning continued throughout adult life and fecundity increased markedly with increasing length. In laboratory aquaria, aggressiveness between adult males was noted and females were actively driven on to the substratum preparatory to spawning. The diet of the fish pond consisted chiefly of aquatic and terrestrial insects, of which midge larvae and pupae were the most common. N. guentheri is exploited by man in the aquarist trade and for the biological control of mosquitoes. An extended redescription of the species is appended which includes N. melanospilus (Pfeffer) as a synonym.

中国鸟类一新纪录——楔嘴鹩鹛

1990年夏、秋季在云南西北部贡山县独龙江地区考察时, 于11月12日在高黎贡山北段西坡(东经98°23′; 北纬27°44′)海拔2010m 的常绿阔叶次生原始林的林下沟谷中网获一鸟, 经鉴定, 确认为楔嘴鹩鹛 Sphenocichla humei (Mandelli) 据文献记载, 楔嘴鹩鹛分布局限于锡金、阿萨姆和缅甸东北部. 此次所获标本, 第第一次发现其在中国分布, 为国内鸟类种的新纪录。

Homogeneous pinhole free 1 nm Al2O3 tunnel barriers on graphene

We report on the topographical and electrical characterisations of 1 nm thick Al2O3 dielectric films on graphene. The Al 2O3 is grown by sputtering a 0.6 nm Al layer on graphene and subsequentially oxidizing it in an O2 atmosphere. The Al 2O3 layer presents no pinholes and is homogeneous enough to act as a tunnel barrier. A resistance-area product in the mega-ohm micrometer-square range is found. Comparatively, the growth of Al 2O3 by evaporation does not lead to well-wetted films on graphene. Application of this high quality sputtered tunnel barrier to efficient spin injection in graphene is discussed. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.

白鱀豚“功能性灭绝”背后的思考

<正>2006年11月～12月由中国科学院水生生物研究所、农业部长江渔业资源管理委员会和瑞士白暨豚保护基金会组织了一次"长江淡水豚类考察",对自宜昌至上海的长江中下游江段进行了为期38天的往返搜索。2007年8月8日《生物学快报》发表了此次考察的结论性报告,正式宣布此次考察没有发现白暨豚,认为白暨豚在长江中"可能即将灭绝"("likely to be extinct")。这一消息

从XY雌鱼雌核发育产生YY超雄黄颡鱼

采用激素性逆转结合雌核发育技术,从XY雌鱼产生YY超雄黄颡鱼。与性逆转和后代测交选种技术比较,本文的方法可以缩短两代的育种时间,并提高超雄鱼的产出。通过测交证明,与正常的XY雄鱼一样,YY超雄黄颡鱼是能成活和有生育力的,其后代雄鱼占75.9%—100%,平均90.30%。从29尾雌鱼产生的雌核发育的后代294尾,只有11尾雄鱼,绝大多数是雌鱼;而在12尾YY超雄鱼测交的后代出现0—24.1%雌鱼。从上述结果可以推测,黄颡鱼的性决定体制是雌性配子同型(XX♀/XY♂),但常染色体性修饰基因的影响是比较明显的

椭圆背角无齿蚌对水中重金属的积累作用及其氨基酸含量的变化

饲养在滇池水中的椭圆背角无齿蚌氨基酸含量只有饲养在松华坝水库水中蚌的氨基酸含量一半,质量分数分别是680 57mg/hg和1477 14mg/hg。检测表明椭圆背角无齿蚌对砷、铅、锌、铜、铁元素有一定的富集能力,说明由于滇池污染,椭圆背角无齿蚌在滇池中虽然可以生存,但这一物种资源的利用价值受到严重影响。

Thermal evolution of Er silicate thin films grown by rf magnetron sputtering

Stoichiometric Er silicate thin films, monosilicate (Er2SiO 5) and disilicate (Er2Si2O7), have been grown on c-Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering. The influence of annealing temperature in the range 1000-1200 °C in oxidizing ambient (O 2) on the structural and optical properties has been studied. In spite of the known reactivity of rare earth silicates towards silicon, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry shows that undesired chemical reactions between the film and the substrate can be strongly limited by using rapid thermal treatments. Monosilicate and disilicate films crystallize at 1100 and 1200 °C, respectively, as shown by x-ray diffraction analysis; the crystalline structures have been identified in both cases. Moreover, photoluminescence (PL) measurements have demonstrated that the highest PL intensity is obtained for Er2Si2O7 film annealed at 1200 °C. In fact, this treatment allows us to reduce the defect density in the film, in particular by saturating oxygen vacancies, as also confirmed by the increase of the lifetime of the PL signal. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd.

长江四大家鱼原种放流的历史与现实

本刊从2002年11期开始以专题论坛的形式就长江人工放流问题展开了讨论,分别推出了中国水产科学研完院长江水产研完所张共忠教授的文章“长江人工放流”四大家鱼“问题商讨”、中国水产科学研究院黑龙江水产研究所沈俊宝教授的文章“长江”四大家鱼“资源急需保护和增殖”。张教授的主要观点是:以长江历史资料分析为基础,目前不宜在长江水域投放“四大家鱼”人工繁殖苗种,应根据三峡大坝即将建成这一新情况对长江渔业资源进行调查研究后,再采取有针对性措施,保护并增殖长江“四大家鱼”等鱼类资源:沈教授的主要观点是:人工增殖放流是世界
