Jonzén et al. (Reports, 30 June 2006, p. 1959) proposed that the rapid advance of spring migration dates of long-distance migrants throughout Europe reflects an evolutionary response to climate change. However, most migrants should not advance their migration time because the phenology of their breeding grounds has not changed. It is more likely that migration speed has changed in response to improved environmental circumstances.  相似文献

There have been numerous recent observations of changes in the behavior and dynamics of migratory bird populations, but the plasticity of the migratory trait and our inability to track small animals over large distances have hindered investigation of the mechanisms behind migratory change. We used habitat-specific stable isotope signatures to show that recently evolved allopatric wintering populations of European blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla pair assortatively on their sympatric breeding grounds. Birds wintering further north also produce larger clutches and fledge more young. These findings describe an important process in the evolution of migratory divides, new migration routes, and wintering quarters. Temporal segregation of breeding is a way in which subpopulations of vertebrates may become isolated in sympatry.  相似文献

Insect migratory flight differs fundamentally from most other kinds of flight behavior, in that it is non-appetitive. The adult is not searching for anything, and migratory flight is not terminated by encounters with potential resources. Many insect pests of agricultural crops are long-distance migrants, moving from lower latitudes where they overwinter to higher latitudes in the spring to exploit superabundant, but seasonally ephemeral, host crops. The migratory nature of these pests is somewhat easy to recognize because of their sudden appearance in areas where they had been absent only a day or two earlier. Many other serious pests survive hostile winter conditions by diapausing, and therefore do not require migration to move between overwintering and breeding ranges. Yet there is evidence of migratory behavior engaged in by several pest species that inhabit high latitudes year-round. In these cases, the consequences of migratory flight are not immediately noticeable at the population level, because migration takes place for the most part within their larger year-round distribution. Nevertheless, the potential population-level consequences can be quite important in the contexts of pest management and insect resistance management. As a case study, I review the evidence for migratory flight behavior by individual European corn borer adults, and discuss the importance of understanding it. The kind of migratory behavior posited for pest species inhabiting a permanent distribution may be more common than we realize.  相似文献

The ability of species to track their ecological niche after climate change is a major source of uncertainty in predicting their future distribution. By analyzing DNA fingerprinting (amplified fragment-length polymorphism) of nine plant species, we show that long-distance colonization of a remote arctic archipelago, Svalbard, has occurred repeatedly and from several source regions. Propagules are likely carried by wind and drifting sea ice. The genetic effect of restricted colonization was strongly correlated with the temperature requirements of the species, indicating that establishment limits distribution more than dispersal. Thus, it may be appropriate to assume unlimited dispersal when predicting long-term range shifts in the Arctic.  相似文献

The pace of shifting climate in marine and terrestrial ecosystems   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
Climate change challenges organisms to adapt or move to track changes in environments in space and time. We used two measures of thermal shifts from analyses of global temperatures over the past 50 years to describe the pace of climate change that species should track: the velocity of climate change (geographic shifts of isotherms over time) and the shift in seasonal timing of temperatures. Both measures are higher in the ocean than on land at some latitudes, despite slower ocean warming. These indices give a complex mosaic of predicted range shifts and phenology changes that deviate from simple poleward migration and earlier springs or later falls. They also emphasize potential conservation concerns, because areas of high marine biodiversity often have greater velocities of climate change and seasonal shifts.  相似文献

根据宁夏中部干旱带盐池县、同心县和海原县气象站1961—2011年平均气温和降水量资料,分析该区域气候变化特征和规律,应用Miami和Thornthwaite Memorial模型探讨该区域春玉米生产潜力及其变化特征,并深入研究气候变化对春玉米气候生产潜力的影响。结果表明:1)研究区气候呈气温明显升高、降水波动减少的"暖干型"趋势变化。2)春玉米温度生产潜力呈逐年增加,降水和气候生产潜力呈波动中减少的趋势。3)研究区春玉米气候生产潜力平均值为5 037kg/(hm2·年),气候生产潜力与年平均降水量有着极其显著的线性相关,与年平均气温没有明显的线性相关,表明降水条件是制约研究区春玉米气候生产潜力的关键因子。未来气候变化显著影响着春玉米气候生产潜力,其中降水量变化对春玉米气候生产潜力的影响远大于气温变化的影响,降水的多少及变率对其限制作用将更明显。因此,应大力发展农业技术,合理安排农作物布局来适应气候变化,以保证春玉米产量和品质。  相似文献

In eastern Africa the altitude of the boundary between montane forest and lowland savanna grassland changed substantially in response to climate change during the later Holocene, but this is not clearly reflected in regional pollen records. The carbon-13 to carbon-12 ratios of tropical grasses are higher than those of most other plants, and this difference is preserved in soil organic carbon stable isotope ratios. Soil organic matter (13)C/(12)C ratios in profiles along an altitude transect in the central Rift Valley of Kenya suggest that the forest-savanna boundary advanced more than 300 meters in altitude. This could have implications for understanding the effects of climate change on the configuration of floral zones, prehistoric hunter-gatherer land-use patterns, and the timing of the advent of Neolithic food production.  相似文献

基于劳动力转移模式分化以及不同农作物机械化程度存在差异的事实,将劳动力转移分为本地转移和异地转移,利用江汉平原农户调查数据和DEA-Tobit方法,实证检验不同模式劳动力转移对农户水稻和棉花生产技术效率的影响。结果表明:不同模式劳动力转移对农业生产技术效率的影响存在差异,且这种影响因作物不同而异。具体而言,本地转移和异地转移均对样本农户水稻生产技术效率产生了显著的正向作用;异地转移对样本农户棉花生产技术效率造成了显著的负向影响,而本地转移的正向影响不显著。提高农户耕地经营规模,提高生产机械化水平以及加强农业技术培训等均能有效提高农户的农业生产技术效率。  相似文献

Physiological and ecological results from a variety of species are consistent with what seem to be valid general statements concerning insect migration. These are as follows: (i)During migration locomotory functions are enhanced and vegetative functions such as feeding and reproduction are suppressed. (ii) Migration usually occurs prereproductively in the life of the adult insect (the oogenesis-flight syndrome). (iii)Since migrant individuals are usually prereproductive, their reproductive values, and hence colonizing abilities, are at or near maximum. (iv) Migrants usually reside in temporary habitats. (v)Migrants have a high potential for population increase, r, which is also advantageous for colonizers. (vi)Both the physiological and ecological parameters of migration are modifiable by environmental factors (that is, phenotypically modifiable)to suit the prevailing conditions. Taken together, these criteria establish a comprehensive theory and adumbrate the basic strategy for migrant insects. This basic strategy is modified to suit the ecological requirements of individual species. Comparative studies of these modifications are of considerable theoretical and practical interest, the more so since most economically important insects are migrants. No satisfactory general statements can as yet be made with respect to the genotype and migration. Certainly we expect colonizing populiations to possess genotypes favoring a high r, but genotypic variation in r depends on the heritabilities of life table statistics, and such measurements are yet to be made (10, 53). The fact that flight duration can be increased by appropriate selection in Oncopeltus fasciatus, and the demonstration of additive genetic variance for this trait in Lygaeus kalmii, suggest that heritability studies of migratory behavior would also be worth pursuing. Most interesting of course, will be possible genetic correlations between migration and life history parameters. Also, migration often transports genotypes across long distances with considerable mixing of populations. An understanding of its operation therefore carries with it implications for population genetics, zoogeography, and evolutionary theory. Finally, at least parts of the above general theory would seem to be applicable to forms other than insects. Bird and insect migrations, for example, are in many respects ecologically and physiologically similar. Birds, like insects, emphasize locomotory. as opposed to vegetative functions during long-distance flight; the well-known Zugenruhe or migratory restlessness is a case in point. Further, many birds migrateat nigt at a time when they would ordinarily roost(vegetative activity). Because their life spans exceed single seasons, bird migrants are not prereproductive in the same sense that insect migrants are, and hence reproductive values do not have the same meaning(but note that some insects are also interreproductive migrants). The situaion is complicated further by the fact that in many birds adult survivorship is virtually independent of age so that colonizing ability tends to be also (10, 54). Nevertheless, birds arrive on their nesting grounds in reproductive condition with the result that migration is a colonizing episode. It is also phenotypically modifiable by environmental factors, some of which, for example, photoperiod, influence insects as well (55). The similarities between birds and insects thus seem sufficient to indicate, at least provisionally, that the theory developed for insects applies also to birds with appropriate modifications for longer life span and more complex social behavior; comparisons between insects and fish (56) lead to the same conclusion. In birds especially, and also in other forms, various functions accessory to migration such as reproductive endocrinology, energy budgets, and orientation mechanisms have been studied extensively (55, 56). But there is need in vertebrates for more data andtheoy on the ecology and physiology of migratory behavior per se in order tobetter understand its evolution and its role in ecosystem function (5, 57). Migration in any animal cannot be understood until viewed in its entirety as a physiological, behavioral, and ecological syndrome.  相似文献

Proliferation of legume nodule primordia is controlled by shoot-root signaling known as autoregulation of nodulation (AON). Mutants defective in AON show supernodulation and increased numbers of lateral roots. Here, we demonstrate that AON in soybean is controlled by the receptor-like protein kinase GmNARK (Glycine max nodule autoregulation receptor kinase), similar to Arabidopsis CLAVATA1 (CLV1). Whereas CLV1 functions in a protein complex controlling stem cell proliferation by short-distance signaling in shoot apices, GmNARK expression in the leaf has a major role in long-distance communication with nodule and lateral root primordia.  相似文献

秦岭不同年龄太白红杉径向生长对气候因子的响应   总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0  
秦岭地区是我国最为典型的太白红杉温带针叶林分布区,也是受全球气候变化影响最为显著的地区之一。已有的研究已经显示树木的生理特征会随着树木年龄发生变化,这可能会造成与树木生长有关的气候信号随时间改变。为探索该区不同年龄太白红杉树木径向生长对气候变化的响应差异,本研究运用树木年轮气候学传统方法,研究了不同年龄太白红杉年表特征及其与气候因子的关系,以期揭示年龄因素对年表的潜在影响。结果表明:1)不同年龄太白红杉径向生长对气候因子的响应存在差异,老龄组太白红杉年表较中、低龄组年表对气候因子的响应更加敏感,更适合用于年轮气候学研究;2)响应函数分析表明,老龄组太白红杉年表对生长季早期和春季温度以及春季降水更加敏感,而幼龄组太白红杉年表与各月气候变量均未表现出显著相关关系。综上所述,太白红杉年轮宽度与气候变化的响应模式受年龄因素影响,高龄年轮年表对气候响应的敏感性更高,包含更多的气候信息。该研究结果为全球变暖背景下秦岭高山林线太白红杉林的合理经营管理及该区域气候重建提供了一定的基础数据。   相似文献

There has been increasing concern over the decline in many migratory bird species. As Saether discusses in his Perspective, evidence is accumulating (Sillett et al.) that climate change resulting from the El Ni?o Southern Oscillation affects both the survival rate of adult birds at tropical wintering sites and their reproductive rate at summer breeding grounds in the Northern Hemisphere.  相似文献

Tropical regions have been reported to play a key role in climate dynamics. To date, however, there are uncertainties in the timing and the amplitude of the response of tropical ecosystems to millennial-scale climate change. We present evidence of an asynchrony between terrestrial and marine signals of climate change during Heinrich events preserved in marine sediment cores from the Brazilian continental margin. The inferred time lag of about 1000 to 2000 years is much larger than the ecological response to recent climate change and appears to be related to the nature of hydrological changes.  相似文献

【目的】利用最新的国际耦合模式比较计划第五阶段(CMIP5)中30个全球大气-海洋耦合模式(AOGCMs)在典型浓度路径(RCPs)情景下的气候预估结果,基于集合模拟的方法评估气候变化对中国未来小麦产量的影响。【方法】气候变化对农业的影响评估通常基于未来逐日的气象资料,然而AOGCMs模拟的逐日数据存在较大的不确定性。利用“虚拟气候变暖”(PGW)的方法,将CMIP5模式预估的未来气候变化的信号与当前气候的逐日站点观测资料相结合,得到未来气候预估的逐日数据集合。结合作物过程模型CERES-Wheat,利用集合模拟的方法,以概率的形式量化表述气候变化对中国小麦产量影响的不确定性。【结果】未来中国冬春小麦代表站在其小麦生育期内的平均气温均有升高。预估21世纪末期,冬小麦代表站平均增温2.7-2.9℃,春小麦代表站平均增温3.0-3.3℃。RCP8.5情景比RCP2.6情景增温显著。预估未来冬、春小麦在其生育期内的降水量普遍增加,并随着排放量的增长,降水量表现出逐渐增多的趋势。在仅改变未来气候变化的条件下,冬、春小麦的灌溉小麦单产相对于1996-2005年普遍减产,并且随着气候变化,灌溉小麦的减产概率上升。春小麦代表站在灌溉条件下小麦减产的程度比冬小麦代表站更显著。预估到21世纪末期,冬小麦代表站在RCP2.6情景下减产2%左右,在RCP4.5情景下减产6%左右,在RCP8.5情景下减产9%左右,减产概率超过85%。预估春小麦代表站在RCP2.6情景下减产5%,在RCP4.5情景下减产8%以上,在RCP8.5情景下减产15%以上,减产概率超过90%。在雨养条件下,冬小麦代表站的小麦单产相较于1996-2005年显著增产。预估到21世纪末期,冬小麦代表站在RCP2.6情景下增产21%以上,在RCP4.5情景下增产22%以上,在RCP8.5情景下增产25%以上,增产概率超过90%。【结论】利用PGW方法获得未来气候预估的逐日数据集合有效的保留了当前气候的天气信息,尤其是极端天气事件的信息。利用集合模拟的方法评估未来气候在RCP2.6、RCP4.5和RCP8.5情景下对中国小麦单产的影响,表明在灌溉条件下,随着排放量的增加,气候变化导致中国小麦单产减产的概率逐渐上升。雨养小麦单产集合的不确定性较灌溉条件大。  相似文献

Westerly winds in the Southern Ocean have increased in intensity and moved poleward. Using long-term demographic and foraging records, we show that foraging range in wandering albatrosses has shifted poleward in conjunction with these changes in wind pattern, while their rates of travel and flight speeds have increased. Consequently, the duration of foraging trips has decreased, breeding success has improved, and birds have increased in mass by more than 1 kilogram. These positive consequences of climate change may be temporary if patterns of wind in the southern westerlies follow predicted climate change scenarios. This study stresses the importance of foraging performance as the key link between environmental changes and population processes.  相似文献

Biofuels have transitioned from a technology expected to deliver numerous benefits to a highly contested socio-technical solution. Initial hopes about their potential to mitigate climate change and to deliver energy security benefits and rural development, particularly in the Global South, have unravelled in the face of numerous controversies. In recognition of the negative externalities associated with biofuels, the European Union developed sustainability criteria which are enforced by certification schemes. This paper draws on the literature on stewardship to analyse the outcomes of these schemes in two countries: the UK and Guatemala. It explores two key issues: first, how has European Union biofuels policy shaped biofuel industries in the UK and Guatemala? And second, what are the implications for sustainable land stewardship? By drawing attention to the outcomes of European demand for biofuels, we raise questions about the ability of European policy to drive sustainable land practices in these two cases. The paper concludes that, rather than promoting stewardship, the current governance framework effectively rubberstamps existing agricultural systems and serves to further embed existing inequalities.  相似文献
