1. The protection of evolutionary processes and maintenance of genetic diversity is necessary for the persistence of biodiversity and ecosystem resilience. The importance of genetic diversity has been reflected in a range of marine policy mechanisms, and the genetic ‘toolbox’ has great potential to support marine protection and marine spatial planning (MSP) at multiple scales. Despite scientific advances in the application of genetics in marine protection and management, systematic integration of genetic information has been generally lacking, primarily due to a knowledge and communication disconnect between geneticists and the marine policy and management community.
2. To meet these outstanding needs, a ‘geospatial genetics’ approach to spatially map species-specific genetic data and associated information in a way that can be readily integrated by practitioners into marine protection and MSP decisions was developed. Techniques to derive geospatial genetic data layers, which can be viewed and mapped alongside other kinds of spatial data commonly used by conservation practitioners, hold promise for increasing the accessibility of genetic data to support policy decisions more fully.
3. While applicable to many mobile and sessile taxa, an initial focus was placed on marine mammals, and the approach was developed and refined through a series of international meetings and published papers, as well as the development of interactive, expert-reviewed case studies hosted on the MSP tool SeaSketch.
4. Outcomes of the work to date are currently serving in the policy arena by informing the identification of Important Marine Mammal Areas, an initiative led by the IUCN Marine Mammal Protected Areas Task Force to apply criteria to identify marine mammal habitats across the world's ocean, seas and relevant inland waters through a standardized process.
5. It has become clear that geospatial genetics has great potential to foster increased collaboration among an intersectional community of geneticists, spatial ecologists, and practitioners. This increased opportunity for dialogue and cooperation will help ensure that evolutionary processes are factored into marine protection and MSP processes, and potentially for freshwater and terrestrial systems.

Genetic certification of presumed hybrids of blue × red abalone (Haliotis fulgens Philippi and H. rufescens Swainson)     

Ana M Ibarra  Norma Karina Hernández-Ibarra  Pedro Cruz  Ricardo Pérez-Enríquez  Susana Ávila  & José L Ramírez 《Aquaculture Research》2005,36(14):1356-1368

Presumed hybrids between Haliotis rufescens and H. fulgens abalones, produced in a commercial abalone laboratory, were evaluated for progeny viability, gonad characteristics and for their ‘true’ status as hybrids by means of allozyme and microsatellite analyses. Four out of 10 evaluated allozyme loci proved to be useful for the genetic certification of hybrids, Gpi, Mdh‐1, Mdh‐2 and Sod, as they had exclusive alleles for each of the abalone reference species from which the presumed hybrids were produced. Three microsatellite loci were also evaluated for their usefulness in abalone hybrid certification. Two were not useful for hybrid certification as the reference abalone species shared some of the same alleles. The third loci (Hka 56) also had shared alleles between the two species, but at very different frequencies. Therefore, this permitted a presumptive certification of hybrids, which, however, was not error‐proof as two allozyme certified hybrids were wrongly classified as H. rufescens rather than as hybrids. Progeny viability of the only female certified to be a hybrid was significantly lower compared with one viability of the other females spawned, which were certified as H. rufescens. However, the number of eggs spawned by the only certified hybrid female was as large as those spawned by females certified as H. rufescens. Gonads of abalones sampled for the macroscopic appearance of sterility indicated that in the absence of any gonad development, no distinctive difference allows for hybrid identification, as there were undifferentiated individuals that were both hybrid and non‐hybrid. On the other hand, two certified hybrid males were characterized by spermatocytes being the most abundant gamete type, although one had some spermatozoa present, indicating only partial sterility. Among the two female hybrids found, vitellogenesis was observed to proceed up to vitellogenic oocytes.  相似文献   

Determination of pesticides and PCBs in virgin olive oil by multicolumn solid-phase extraction cleanup followed by GC-NPD/ECD and confirmation by ion-trap GC-MS     

Yagüe C  Bayarri S  Conchello P  Lázaro R  Pérez-Arquillué C  Herrera A  Ariño A 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(13):5105-5109

A multicolumn solid-phase extraction cleanup for the determination of organophosphorus (OP) and organochlorine (OC) pesticides plus PCB congeners in virgin olive oil is presented. The method involves dissolution of the olive oil in hexane, followed by a cleanup system using a diatomaceous earth column (Extrelut-QE) with reversed (C(18)) and normal (alumina) phase SPE columns. Determination of OPs was by GC-NPD, while the OCs and PCBs were analyzed using GC-ECD. Recovery assays for OPs varied from 81.7% to 105.3%, for OCs ranged between 74.3% and 99.4%, while for PCBs were from 60.1% to 119.2%. Quantitation limits ranged from 10 to 25 microg/kg olive oil for OPs, and from 1 to 6 microg/kg olive oil for OCs and PCBs. In the case of positive samples, the confirmation of pesticide identity was performed by ion-trap GC-MS/MS. The applicability of the method was assayed with 19 virgin olive oil samples collected from different olive mills of Aragón (Spain). Only one OP pesticide (acephate) was detected in one sample at a concentration of 10 microg/kg. Organochlorine pesticides were found in 5-47% of samples at very low levels ranging from 1.5 to 5.2 microg/kg. PCBs were found in 20-90% of samples, showing concentrations between 2.3 and 17.3 microg/kg.  相似文献   

Influence of fatty acids on wine foaming     

Gallart M  López-Tamames E  Suberbiola G  Buxaderas S 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2002,50(24):7042-7045

The influence of fatty acids (free and bound as ethyl esters) on wine foaming was studied in different white wines and the corresponding sparkling wines. Moreover, from three of these wines the foam formed by CO(2) injection was separated, and two fractions were then obtained: foam wine (FW) and remainder wine (RW). In these fractions and the sparkling wines produced from them, foam properties and fatty acids were also determined. The free fatty acids C8, C10, and C12 were negatively correlated with foamability (HM), whereas the ethyl esters of hexanoic, octanoic, and decanoic acids were positively related to HM. The value of HM was directly proportional to the ratio of esterified to unesterified fatty acids. This was confirmed by the changes that occur in the esterification ratio during the second fermentation and aging. No influence was observed on either the Bikerman coefficient or the stability time of foam.  相似文献   

Palatal sclerotherapy for the treatment of intermittent dorsal displacement of the soft palate in 51 standardbred racehorses     

Jean D  Picandet V  Céleste C  Macieira S  Cesarini C  Morisset S  Rossier Y  Marcoux M 《The Canadian veterinary journal. La revue veterinaire canadienne》2011,52(11):1203-1208

This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and side effects of palatal sclerotherapy in standardbred racehorses suspected to have intermittent dorsal displacement of the soft palate (IDDSP). Fifty-one horses were treated with multiple endoscopically guided injections of 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate in the soft palate. Two groups were identified: those that had respiratory noises during exercise (n = 27) and those that did not (n = 24). Treatment was well-tolerated. Furthermore, horses significantly reduced their racing times for the last 400 m compared with their times before treatment and even when their times were compared to the mean times for horses in the same race. In conclusion, palatal sclerotherapy appears to be a suitable alternative therapeutic option for horses suspected to have IDDSP.  相似文献   

Protective effect of structurally diverse grape procyanidin fractions against UV-induced cell damage and death     

Matito C  Agell N  Sanchez-Tena S  Torres JL  Cascante M 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2011,59(9):4489-4495

UV radiation leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These molecules exert a variety of harmful effects by altering key cellular functions and may result in cell death. Several studies have demonstrated that human skin can be protected against UV radiation by using plant-derived antioxidants. Here we evaluated the in vitro capacity of several antioxidant polyphenolic fractions from grape, which differ in their degree of polymerization and percentage of galloylation, to protect HaCaT human keratinocytes against UV-induced oxidative damage. These fractions inhibited both basal and UVB- or UVA-induced intracellular ROS generation in this cell line. Consequently, the same fractions inhibited p38 and JNK1/2 activation induced by UVB or UVA radiation. The highest protective effect was for fractions rich in procyanidin oligomers and gallate esters. These encouraging in vitro results support further research and should be taken into consideration into the clinical pharmacology of plant-derived polyphenolic extracts as novel agents for skin photoprotection.  相似文献   

Land Use and Basin Characteristics Determine the Composition and Abundance of the Microzooplankton     

Susana B. Jos�� de Paggi  Melina Devercelli 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2011,218(1-4):93-108

The influence of watershed land use on microzooplankton was examined. Six rivers and a shallow lake located in rural (agriculture, livestock) and urban areas were sampled during 4 weeks at low water, low temperatures and 3 weeks at high water, high temperatures. The major aim of this study was to analyze the composition, richness and abundance of the microzooplankton in relation to land use, taking into account nutrient concentration, biological oxygen demand (BOD₅), conductivity, pH, transparency, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll-a. Redundancy analysis was used to assess microzooplankton response to environmental gradients. The composition and abundance can be considered good indicators of the land used and characteristic of the basin (broad range of conductivity water). The species composition show a gradient along the conductivity, pH and chlorophyll-a. Brachionus spp. were associated with saline waters on rural area and Keratella spp. (except Keratella tropica) were associated with urban water bodies. The microzooplankton abundance diminished by a factor of ten from the rivers in livestock?Cagriculture-dominated watersheds to those located in strictly urban areas. Urban rivers had low abundances of chlorophyll-a and microzooplankton despite the high concentration of nutrients. However, the effect of urbanization (mesotrophic/mesosaprobious state and lead presence) cannot be analyzed alone due to the potential effect of a filter-feeding invasive mollusk that colonizes the hard surfaces of harbor buildings and bridge pillars.  相似文献   

Toxic Metals (As, Cd, Ni and Pb) and PM2.5 in Air Concentration of a Model Ceramic Cluster     

Ana Belen Vicente  Susana Pallares  Amparo Soriano  Teofilo Sanfeliu  Manuel Miguel Jordan 《Water, air, and soil pollution》2011,222(1-4):149-161

The relationship between ambient concentrations of fine particulate matter and detrimental health effects remains a highly controversial issue. Increased incidence of mortality and morbidity due to cardiopulmonary complications has been associated with elevated levels of urban air particles with an aerodynamic of <2.5 ??m (PM2.5). The main aim of this paper was to present the assessment of the temporal and spatial variations of the PM2.5 fraction and its contents in arsenic, cadmium, nickel and lead in order to identify possible emission sources of these pollutants. Daily ambient aerosol samples (PM2.5) were taken in the province of Castellón from 2008 to 2009. Particle concentration levels were determined by gravimetry, and the As, Cd, Ni and Pb levels in the samples were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. The season variation of these pollutants differs according to the emission source and the factors involved in dispersion. In the weekly trend, there were no significant differences in levels among sampling sites in relation to the day activity (working vs. non-working) due to chemical pollutants that are found in fine particulate fractions residing in the atmosphere longer than coarse particles, resulting in a more homogeneous concentration of pollutants over time. In order to identify similar behaviour between chemical pollutants and PM2.5, an assessment of the correlation between them was carried out. This behaviour study shows whether the source of contaminants is the same. A statistical analysis of the levels of PM2.5 and the presence of As, Cd, Ni and Pb in the different sampling sites was performed in order to evaluate the influence of the sampling point on the concentrations of these pollutants.  相似文献   

Varietal relationship between instrumental skin hardness and climate for grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.)     

Rolle L  Gerbi V  Schneider A  Spanna F  Río Segade S 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2011,59(19):10624-10634

The main aims of this work were to classify 30 colored and white wine grape varieties according to the berry skin hardness, to assess the influence of annual variations in climate on the berry skin hardness, and to establish significant relationships among berry skin mechanical properties and some climatic-bioclimatic indices calculated for different grape-ripening periods, close to the harvest date. The results obtained show that the most influential bioclimatic indices on the skin mechanical attributes were temperature parameters. In the same season, the influence of the production area was also evaluated, precipitation parameters being the best correlated with the berry skin hardness. This first work has permitted us to know the relationship among skin texture characteristics and seasonal climatic indices.  相似文献   

Two specific sites for binding of K88ab Escherichia coli fimbriae to porcine intestinal brush border membranes   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Caloca MJ  Suarez S 《Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases》2007,30(4):187-195

We have studied the characteristics of the binding of the K88ab Escherichia coli fimbrial antigen to porcine brush border membranes by solid phase binding assay. Binding of biotinylated K88ab to brush border membranes followed a sigmoidal dependence and was saturable, apparent saturation occurring with 0.8 ng of fimbriae (approx. 7 ng of fimbriae per microg of brush border protein) irrespective of incubation temperature in the range of room temperature to 4 degrees C. A Hill plot of log [(fimbriae bound)/(maximal binding-fimbriae bound)] vs. log free fimbriae gave a maximal slope of about 2, indicating the existence of two binding sites. From an analysis of an Scatchard plot, apparent binding constants (1)K(2) and (2)K(2) of 7.1 x 10(8) and 17.1 x 10(8)M(-1) were obtained at room temperature. Nor did temperature have any effect on the rate of binding or on receptor affinity (S(0.5)).  相似文献
