To examine the role of longitudinal connectivity on the spatial and temporal dynamics of mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni), we quantified movement and population dynamics following installation of the Landsburg Dam fishway, Cedar River, WA, USA. Mountain whitefish is widely distributed, poorly studied and not the focus of restoration. Before the fishway, mountain whitefish were not observed above the dam. Here, we focus on snorkel counts collected at reach and mesohabitat (e.g. pools) scales over 11 summers on the 20‐km above‐dam segment following restoration. A camera within the ladder provided number, size and movement timing, thereby informing on behaviour and recolonisation. Segment‐scale abundance increased following fish passage reaching an asymptote in 7 years, and mountain whitefish were detected throughout the main stem in 10 years. Annual movement through the ladder increased over time and was positively correlated with instream abundance and discharge, but negatively correlated with water temperature. About 60% of fish movements occurred in spring and early summer, potentially for foraging opportunities. Reach‐scale abundance peaked between 7 and 10 km from the dam; deep, cool (~10.6 to 11.6°C) conditions characterised these reaches. At the mesohabitat scale, mountain whitefish detection increased with depth and velocity after accounting for distance from the dam. Our results show how restoring longitudinal connectivity allowed this nontarget species to colonise newly available habitat. Their response supports the critical roles of longitudinal connectivity and environmental conditions, that manifest at different spatial scales, in dictating how freshwater fish respond to habitat disturbance.  相似文献   

The advantages of the use of vitamin E and selenium for the prevention and therapy of porcine stress syndrome     

T H?nichen  K Heinritzi  W Bollwahn  H M Blendl 《Tier?rztliche Praxis》1988,16(2):147-151

In a feeding trial lasting for months Halothane-positive fattening pigs were put on a diet containing different concentrations of vitamin E and selenium. After a Myostress application vitamin E and selenium were additionally injected in order to examine stress resistance (CK-test) and regenerative capacity (histological examination of Musculus longissimus dorsi) of skeletal muscle. The study revealed that neither high dietary levels of vitamin E/selenium nor a vitamin E/selenium treatment applied after stress are capable of preventing stress related myopathy nor can they influence its healing up favourably.  相似文献

Comparison of German and Swiss Rainfall Simulators - Utility,Labour Demands and Costs     

Max Kainz  Karl Auerswald  R. Vhringer 《植物养料与土壤学杂志》1992,155(1):7-11

The utility, vehicle required, the time needed for assembly and relocation and the costs associated with six different rainfall simulators were studied. The results can be summarized as follows:

• 1 The simulator designed by Kainz & Eicher (1990) is the least expensive to operate. This simulator also has excellent experimental versatility. Its only restriction is a short slope length.
• 2 The rainfall simulator of Karl & Toldrian (1973) is also inexpensive to operate, but because of disadvantages such as low falling height, wind susceptibility, and the need for more workers than other simulators, it should be used mainly where other simulators are not practical (forests, steep slopes, or long slopes).
• 3 The rainfall simulator of Richter et al. (1988) has limited mobility in the field and is highly susceptible to wind drift. Moreover, its narrow plots do not cover a representative unit of a cultivated field.
• 4 The modified Swanson-type simulator (Auerswald, (1986) is suitable for large plots if a sufficient water supply is available.
• 5 The simulator of Kromer & Vöhringer (1988) has the highest fixed costs, but labour is used efficiently.
• 6 The simulator of Schmidt (1983) can only be considered for stationary use because of its long assembly time. Other disadvantages are narrow plot size and high wind susceptibility.

Depending on the selection of the simulator, total costs of between 400 DM and 2000 DM per plot should be expected even with high use rates.  相似文献   

Is N‐feedback involved in the regulation of nitrogenase activity in Medicago truncatula?     

Saad Sulieman  Joachim Schulze  Karl H. Mühling  Lam-Son Phan Tran 《植物养料与土壤学杂志》2020,183(1):42-45

To determine whether senescing leaves provoke an active nitrogen (N) remobilization that results in the reduction of nitrogenase activity, 60% of Medicago truncatula lower leaves were either darkened or individually excised for two weeks. Although a considerable amount of N was remobilized, N₂ fixation activity was found to be increased to maintain the N source/sink balance, indicating an absence of the negative N‐feedback regulation of nitrogenase activity in the senescing M. truncatula.  相似文献   

In vitro comparison of the effects of two forms of hydroxyethyl starch solutions on platelet function in dogs     

Wierenga JR  Jandrey KE  Haskins SC  Tablin F 《American journal of veterinary research》2007,68(6):605-609

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of 2 hydroxyethyl starch (HES) preparations (ie, HES solution with a molecular weight of 600 kd and a degree of substitution of 0.7 [HES 600/0.7] and a calcium-containing polyionic HES solution with a molecular weight of 670 kd and a degree of substitution of 0.75 [HES 670/0.75]) on canine platelet function. SAMPLE POPULATION: Blood samples from 10 healthy adult dogs. PROCEDURES: Dilution of citrated whole blood was performed with saline (0.9% NaCl) solution, HES 600/0.7, and HES 670/0.75 at ratios of 1:9 (ie, 1 part saline solution or colloid to 9 parts whole blood) and 1:3. Measurements of time to platelet plug formation in a capillary tube (ie, closure time) were made by use of a bench-top platelet function analyzer with collagen and ADP platelet agonists. RESULTS: Mean baseline closure time was 68.0 +/- 15.3 seconds. A 1:3 dilution of whole blood with saline solution, HES 600/0.7, and HES 670/0.75 resulted in mean closure times of 85.8 +/- 15.7 seconds, 100.6 +/- 18.6 seconds, and 101.6 +/- 16.2 seconds, respectively. Closure time following 1:3 dilution of whole blood with saline solution was significantly different from baseline and from 1:9 dilution with saline solution. Closure time following 1:3 dilution of whole blood with HES 670/0.75 was significantly different from baseline, 1:3 and 1:9 dilutions with saline solution, and 1:9 dilutions with HES 600/0.7 or HES 670/0.75. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Saline solution, HES 600/0.7, and HES 670/0.75 affect canine platelet function by prolonging closure times; HES solutions prolonged closure time to a greater extent than saline solution.  相似文献   

Use of bone morphogenetic proteins for augmentation of bone regeneration   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Kirker-Head CA  Boudrieau RJ  Kraus KH 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》2007,231(7):1039-1055

A large body of preclinical and clinical data now documents that recombinant BMPs can be used for skeletal regeneration in humans and animals. Recombinant human BMP-2 and BMP-7 have been approved for use in human patients with long-bone fractures and nonunions and in patients undergoing lumbar fusion or various maxillofacial and dental regenerative procedures. These products have also been made available for veterinary use.  相似文献

Die Variabilität einiger Komponenten der Allogamieneigung bei der Kulturgerste (Hordeum vulgare L. s. l.)     

Karl Hammer 《Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution》1975,23(1):167-180

Zusammenfassung Zur Einschätzung der Allogamieneigung der Gerste wurde die Variabilität der für die Anemophilie bedeutenden Merkmale Stigmatagröße, Antherenlänge und Antherenejektion geprüft. In Voruntersuchungen an 5000 Sommer- und 1000 Wintergersten konnten 155 Sippen gefunden werden, die zur Chasmogamie neigen. Bei der autogamen Kulturgerste sind die Anemophiliemerkmale gegenüber den allogamenHordeum-Species meist deutlich reduziert. Das betrifft besonders die Antherenlänge und die Antherenejektion, während die Stigmatagröße, die auch bei Autogamen den Ansatz und damit die Anzahl der Nachkommen beeinflußt, relativ wenig vermindert ist. In allen Merkmalen wurde eine große Variabilität der Komponenten der Anemophilie gefunden, auch bei der im allgemeinen strenger autogamen Sommergerste.

Some aspects of the tendency to allogamy and their variability in barley (Hordeum vulgare L. s. l.)

Summary The variability of stigma size, anther length, and anther extrusion as important characters of anemophily was examined in barley to estimate its tendency to allogamy. 5000 spring and 1000 winter barleys were examined, 155 of which exhibited a tendency to chasmogamy. The characters of anemophily are reduced for the most part of autogamous cultivated barleys compared with allogamousHordeum species, especially as to anther length (table 4) and anther extrusion (table 5). There is a relatively little reduction of stigma size (table 3), because this character influences the seed set and with this the number of offspring in autogamous species too. A comparatively high variability could be found for all characters of anemophily even in spring barley, which is in general stronger autogamous than winter barley.
