Sexual Dimorphism, the Operational Sex Ratio, and the Intensity of Male Competition in Polygynous Primates

Male mating competition is generally regarded to account for sexual dimorphism in body size, but levels of sexual dimorphism do not appear to be associated with the intensity of intrasexual selection in polygynous mammals. In contrast, observations of accentuated dimorphism in certain taxa and in large species are consistent with nonadaptive explanations for the evolution of sexual size dimorphism based on phylogenetic inertia and allometry. Here we employ a weight-corrected measure of sexual dimorphism and a biologically realistic assay of mating competition, the operational sex ratio, to reexamine the factors favoring the evolution of sexual size dimorphism in primates. Independent contrasts that control for the effects of allometry and phylogeny produce results consistent with the sexual selection hypothesis; a strong relationship exists between sexual dimorphism in size and the intensity of male mating competition among polygynously mating primates. Increased sexual dimorphism in large primates may not be an inevitable consequence of allometry but instead may result from a reduction in the temporal availability of fertile females due to long birth intervals.
Effects of different water regimes on the anatomical characteristics of roots of grasses promising for revegetation of areas surrounding hydroelectric reservoir

Conduziu-se o presente trabalho objetivavando-se avaliar o efeito de diferentes regimes hidricos sobre alguns aspectos da anatomia da raiz das seguintes gramineas: Echinochloa pyramidalis (canarana), Setaria anceps (setaria) e Paspalum paniculatum (paspalo). As plantas foram cultivadas em casa-de-vegetacao e submetidas a tres regimes hidricos: regas diarias; suspensao da rega e suspensao da rega seguida de submersao do sistema radicular. Foram retirados segmentos da parte mediana das raizes, os quais foram submetidos a tecnicas classicas em botânica para confeccao de lâminas e analise de tecidos. Foram observadas diferencas anatomicas nas tres especies de gramineas submetidas aos tres regimes hidricos com relacao ao numero de camadas de celulas do cortex externo e o espessamento de lignina e/ou suberina. As raizes em submersao nas tres especies apresentaram uma tendencia de aumento na proporcao da area do cortex destinada a aerenquimas, alem de um espessamento tanto da endoderme como das celulas do parenquima medular. Pela presenca de aerenquimas nas tres especies sujeitas aos tres regimes hidricos, infere-se que esses sao constitutivos. As adaptacoes desenvolvidas por essas especies contribuiram na compreensao da ocorrencia dessas em areas que passam por periodos de seca e inundacoes sucessivas.

Drift of Cisco and Whitefish Larvae in a Norwegian River

Abstract Larvae (eleutheroembryos) of cisco Coregonus albula and whitefish C. larvaretus started to drift downstream in the Gudbrandsdalslagen River concurrently with the beginning of the spring freshets each year, 1981–1983. The duration of yearly outdrift lasted 2–5 weeks in late April and May. The yearly maximum out-drift was positively correlated with the rate of increase in water discharge, but not with water temperature during spring. Most larvae drifted downstream during night.
SIMAGRIO‐W: Development of a prediction model for wireworms in relation to soil moisture, temperature and type

As a result of increasing cultivation of corn and potatoes, the polyphagous larvae of the click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae), called wireworms, become a problem in agriculture (Parker and Howard 2001). The hypothesis that the vertical distribution of wireworms depends on soil moisture, soil temperature and soil type had to be verified. In field experiments, investigations on wireworm activity in relation to soil moisture and soil temperature were carried out over a period of 2 years. Bait traps were buried in soil, and the appearance of larvae was recorded during the seasons. In laboratory, the optimum soil moisture for larvae was tested with four soil types. Correlations between the percentage of observed wireworms and soil moisture were analysed.
ASPECTS OF THE POPULATION BIOLOGY OF LIPARIS LOESELII (L.) RICH. VAR. OVATA RIDD. EX GODFERY (ORCHIDACEAE) IN THE DUNE SLACKS OF SOUTH WALES, UK

Demographic techniques have been employed to study populations of the rare orchidLiparis loeseliivar.ovataacross a range of dune slack habitats at a South Wales site. The study has shown that very large numbers of shoots (>300) may occur within a single 1×1 m quadrat and that the vegetative production of side shoots is common. Regular population surveys over time have shown that individuals represented by a single shoot can live for 8 years. Subsequent analyses of the floristic composition of the study quadrats has revealed the presence of subtle variations in species composition and vegetation structure in relation to age and hydrology, although all of the plots still fall within the SD14Salix repens-Campylium stellatumdune slack community defined by the British National Vegetation Classification. When attributes of population flux are analysed in relation to floristic composition, one significant trend to emerge is that the appearance of new genets is most prevalent in successionally young slacks. As the natural formation of new slacks by sand blow is now a rare event in the South Wales dune field, the management ofLiparis loeseliivar.ovatais currently aimed at attempting to ensure the persistence of suitable communities through biomass reduction techniques.
Down‐regulation of protein and mRNA expression for transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β1) type I and type II receptors in human prostate cancer

Transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β1) is a potent negative regulator of cell growth that transduces signals through interactions with type I and II receptors. Abnormal expression and mutational alterations of these receptors have been observed in several human malignancies. In this study, we investigated the expression of the two types of TGF‐βI receptors, R‐I and R‐II, in a normal human prostate, primary prostate adenocarcinoma and lymph nodes with metastatic deposits. Expression of receptor proteins was examined by immunohistochemical analysis in paraffin‐embedded prostatic tissue sections, and mRNA expression was determined by Northern blot and RT‐PCR analysis. Uniformly strong immunoreactivity for both TGF‐β receptor proteins, R‐I and R‐II, was exclusively localized to the prostatic glandular epithelium of normal prostates. In contrast, tumor epithelial cells in primary and metastatic prostatic cancer specimens exhibited a weak heterogeneous immunoreactivity for both R‐I and R‐II receptors; 25% of primary prostatic tumors and 45% of the lymph nodes with metastases were totally negative for R‐I and R‐II expression, while the rest exhibited a significantly reduced immunoreactivity for both types of receptors compared to the normal prostate (p < 0.05). Moreover, there was a significant decrease in the expression of R‐I and R‐II mRNA, in all 20 primary prostatic tumors and 4 lymph nodes positive for metastases, indicating that the decreased protein expression was due to down‐regulation of gene expression for the two receptors. Our findings imply that decreased expression of TGF‐βI type I and type II receptors might be involved in prostate tumorigenesis. Int. J. Cancer 71:573‐579, 1997. © 1997 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Follicle-stimulating hormone β, luteinizing hormone β and glycoprotein hormone α subunit mRNA levels in artificially maturing Japanese eel Anguilla japonica and naturally maturing New Zealand longfinned eel Anguilla dieffenbachii

: cDNAs for three subunits of gonadotropin, namely follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) β, luteinizing hormone (LH) β and glycoprotein hormone (GP) α, of the New Zealand longfinned eel Anguilla dieffenbachii were cloned. Based on their nucleotide sequences, which were more than 98% identical to those of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica, a real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction method for the quantitative assay of gonadotropin subunit mRNAs of the two eel species was developed using the same primer sets. Accordingly, changes in pituitary gonadotropin mRNA levels were analyzed in female Japanese eels induced to develop artificially by salmon pituitary homogenate (SPH) treatment and in naturally maturing female New Zealand longfinned eels collected from the wild. In Japanese eels, the FSH β mRNA level was very high at the previtellogenic stage (PV) and decreased remarkably after SPH injection, whereas the reverse was seen in New Zealand longfinned eels. The mRNA levels of LH β and GP α increased during gonadal development in both species, albeit to a much greater extent in Japanese eels. As the Japanese and New Zealand longfinned eels are closely related species of the same genus, the different gonadotropin expression patterns are likely to reflect differences in maturational conditions rather than species. Our findings are indicative of aberrant gonadal development and may explain the poor quality eggs obtained from artificially matured Japanese eels.
Intraguild Predation and Competition Among Desert Scorpions

Interactions among four species of desert scorpion were analyzed over a 9-yr period at two sites in the Coachella Valley, California. Although potential competitors that feed on similar arthropod prey, these species also eat one another (i.e., engage in intraguild predation); heterospecific scorpions were found to form 8-21.9% of the diet. Size differences determine scorpion-scorpion predation. Larger individuals of any species were always the predator, and prey scorpions were most frequently males and individuals that were in motion. Intraguild predation was most frequent when food availability was low. The numerically dominant scorpion, Paruroctonus mesaensis (>95% of all individuals), killed and ate 8 and 6% of two smaller scorpion species (Paruroctonus luteolus and Vaejovis confuses, respectively) and 10% of all the observed newborn of another scorpion species, Hadrurus arizonensis. Mortality due to P. mesaensis was generally an inverse function of the density of P. luteolus and of V. confuses. During a 29-mo experiment, >6000 P. mesaensis were removed from 300 100-M2 quadrats. There were significant increases in the populations of P. luteolus and V. confuses (but not of Hadrurus) in the removal quadrats, compared to control quadrats. The hypothesis that species compete exploitatively for food was also tested. Although there was extensive evidence that food limited feeding, growth, adult size, and reproduction, there was no evidence that food use by one scorpion depleted the availability of prey to other scorpions: abundance of prey (determined by trapping), percent feeding (number of individuals observed with prey . total number of individuals observed), and mean body sizes were not greater in the removal vs. control quadrats. We conclude that intraguild predation rather than exploitation competition is the major factor structuring the observed patterns of distribution and abundance of these scorpions. We suggest that aspects of foraging behavior and the spatial and temporal patterns of surface activity of smaller scorpion species and age classes have coevolved largely to avoid predation by P. mesaensis. Many assemblages of scorpion species exhibit intraguild pre- dation, and we speculate that this process produces behavioral and activity patterns similar to those observed in this study.
Ethnobotany and conservation of indigenous edible fruit plants in South Aceh, Indonesia

Abstract. Suwardi AB, Navia ZI, Harmawan T, Syamsuardi, Mukhtar E. 2020. Ethnobotany and conservation of indigenous edible fruit plants in South Aceh, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1850-1860. The traditional knowledge system is immensely important in the context of plant resource conservation, utilization, and environmental management. The objectives of this study, therefore, were to document local knowledge on the diversity, utilization and sustainable management of indigenous fruit yielding species in the South Aceh region of Indonesia. This research was based on extensive field surveys, plant collection, and interviews with the local people, and a total of 56 indigenous edible fruit species belonging to 24 families were identified. Furthermore, the recognized varieties have numerous applications and serve multiple use categories. For example, they have been adopted as food (56 species), by medicine (16 species), construction materials (14 species), furniture (13 species) and firewood (12 species). These indigenous edible fruits are mostly used in the treatment of cough, stomach ache, diarrhea, fever, and digestive problems, and the following species are commonly traded in traditional markets Durio zibethinus, Garcinia mangostana, Mangifera indica, Mangifera foetida, Mangifera odorata, Baccaurea macrophylla, and Baccaurea lanceolata. The agricultural expansion activities in South Aceh region are assumed to present significant threats to the sustainability of indigenous edible fruit species. Conservation of indigenous fruit plants can be performed through the preservation of traditional knowledge and the promotion and domestication of indigenous fruit plant species.

Regional patterns of mammal abundance and their relationship to landscape variables in eucalypt woodlands near Darwin, northern Australia

Habitat loss and fragmentation are usually construed as having negative consequences for wildlife, and habitat heterogeneity as having a positive effect. We conducted a mammal survey in eucalypt woodlands near Darwin, and found very few mammals in an intact region of the study area. This is consistent with an emerging pattern suggesting that many mammal species are declining across northern Australia, even though habitats remain relatively intact. However, we also found apparently healthy populations of the same species in a fragmented region of the study area. Using a combination of remote sensing, GIS and generalised linear modeling, we found some evidence of relationships between fire regime, fire heterogeneity or vegetation heterogeneity and the distributions of mammal species in this area. However, there was a strong regional component of the distribution that is not explained by these variables. The cause of the lack of mammals in the intact region of the study area has not been revealed by this analysis. One possible reason for this failure is that the landscape variables used in the analysis were too fine to detect variation in mammal abundance occuring at a much courser regional scale.
The effects of frequency of cutting and nitrogen application rates on the yields from perennial ryegrass plus white clover swards

SUMMARY The results are presented for a 4-year experiment in which three cutting frequency treatments and four nitrogen fertilizer rates were applied on plots sown with perennial ryegrass and one of three varieties of white clover. The cutting frequencies were three, five and tencuts each year, and the nitrogen rates were 0, 150, 300 and 450 kg/ha annually. Two medium-large leaf clover varieties Blanca and Sabeda were compared with the medium-small leaf Aberystwyth S. 100. Comparison of the present results with those from an earlier experiment (Reid, 1978) suggests that, on average over the clover varieties, the inclusion of white clover in the ryegrass sward results in smaller effects of nitrogen application rate and cutting frequency. Decreasing the number of cuts from ten to five gave a marked increase in the dry-matter yield of mixed herbage and of clover at all nitrogen rates, but the decrease from five to three cuts had little additional effect. These results suggest that white clover may be more suited to conservation systems than previously thought, but for optimum production the interval between cuts should not exceed about 5 weeks. The medium-large leaf varieties of white clover did not appear to be in any way superior to the medium-small leaf varieties for conservation systems.
