An individuals-based model, MORPH, was used to assess the quality of Poole Harbour, UK, for five overwintering shorebirds: dunlin Calidris alpina, redshank Tringa totanus, black-tailed godwit Limosa limosa, oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus and curlew Numenius arquata. Site quality, and the effect of environmental change, was measured as predicted overwinter survival. Dunlin had the highest prey biomass densities and were the least likely to be affected by reductions in their food supply, lower temperatures or loss of terrestrial habitats. Black-tailed godwits and curlew had the lowest prey biomass densities and were the most likely to be affected by reductions in their food supply, lower temperatures and loss of terrestrial habitats. All five shorebird species were seriously affected by simulated sea-level rise. Conservation issues identified for the Poole Harbour SPA were the relatively low densities of larger size classes of polychaete worms, the importance of maintaining and managing surrounding terrestrial habitats and the effect of sea-level rise on the length of time for which intertidal food supplies are available. 相似文献

The susceptibility of cattle and buffalos to chronic copper poisoning (CCP) was compared by using cattle (n = 10) and buffalo (n = 10) steers distributed into two copper supplemented (n = 6) and two control (n = 4) groups. Supplemented animals received 2 mg copper (Cu)/kg body weight daily for one week, with an additional 2 mg weekly until the end of the experiment (day 105). Three liver biopsies (day 0, 45, and 105) were obtained for mineral analyses; clinical examinations and blood samples were obtained every 15 days. Three supplemented cattle and two buffalos with typical manifestations of CCP died. There were no differences in the frequency of mortality between cattle and buffalos; hepatic copper concentration was higher in cattle than buffalos. These findings suggest that buffalos and cattle might be equally susceptible to CCP. However, buffalos accumulate less liver copper than cattle and have a lower threshold of hepatic Cu accumulation, which leads to clinical manifestation of CCP. 相似文献

The Anaplasma marginale is a bacterium that has obligate intraerythrocytic multiplication in cattle causing important economic loss. The A. marginale major surface protein 1 (MSP1) complex, heterodimer composed of MSP1a and MSP1b, has been identified as adhesins for bovine erythrocytes. The objectives of this study were to sequences the msp1β gene and produce and characterize recombinant MSP1a and MSP1b from a Brazilian strain of A. marginale, PR1. The msp1α and msp1β genes from the PR1 strain were cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21 Star using the vectors pET102 and pET101/D-TOPO. Antibodies were produced against the recombinant proteins and were shown to react with rMSP1a and rMSP1b demonstrating a molecular mass of 70 kDa to 105 kDa and 100 kDa, respectively for these proteins. Bovine erythrocytes were agglutinated by BL21/rMSP1a and BL21/rMSP1b and, this agglutination was inhibited by the presence of the IgY anti-rMSP1a, confirming the adhesion function of these proteins. Additionally, using the IgY anti-rMSP1a and rMSP1b in a IFI, the presence of rMSP1a and rMSP1b was confirmed on the outer membrane of the recombinant E. coli BL21. Our results show that the msp1β gene from the PR1 strain has both the conserved region and contain the defined polymorphism regions previously described for other strains of A. marginale. The results from this study confirm adhesive functions for rMSP1a and rMSP1b from PR1 strain in bovine erythrocytes invasion. 相似文献

Systems have been developed to monitor the direct effects of insect growth regulator (IGR) pesticide exposure on honey bee development, but there has been little work on the longer-term impact of exposure on the colony. A honey bee population model provided the opportunity to investigate the effects of short-term mortality of brood and of sublethal changes in behaviour of the surviving adults on honey bee populations. The model showed that brood mortality alone has limited effect on colony size. There were two mechanisms that could have greater influence on productivity. Precocious foraging in affected adult bees, and hence early loss of brood-rearing (nurse) capabilities, had a much larger effect than expected. Increasing mortality rates by 30% to simulate sublethal effects on lifespan, rather than reduced brood-rearing capability, gave a significantly smaller effect. In order to simulate an effect with the 'shortened lifespan' mechanism as large as that with the 'premature ageing' mechanism, the mortality rate of affected adults had to be increased by 500%. A significant finding from the model is that application of IGRs in spring and early summer could have substantial effects on colony size and viability. Sublethal effects such as precocious foraging can have worse effects than massive brood mortality, as it severely reduces the ability to rear the next generation of nurse bees. 相似文献
