Long-term increases in clutch size in common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) and diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin)

Clutch size (CS) is a well-studied life history characteristic, and optimal egg size theory predicts that CS should correlate positively with reproductive investment. Turtles are good subjects for studies of reproductive strategies because few turtle species exhibit parental care; therefore quantifying their short-term reproductive investment is mostly limited to measuring egg size and number. Clutch size is usually reported as an average value for each turtle population, and where CS variation is noted, it is usually attributable to variation in adult body size. In two long-term studies of ecologically dissimilar species we detected a dramatic increase in CS in a common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) population and in a diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) population. It is unknown whether these changes are due to either variation in adult body size or resource availability; but the temporal patterns we observed have apparently never been reported previously. These trends remain unexplained and should be explored further.

发达国家早期与当今发展中国家经济发展的跨期比较--拓展发展经济学理论视野的一种新尝试

不管是发达国家还是发展中国家,每个经济体的经济发展都要经历由传统农业社会向现代工业社会转型的经济发展过程,这是我们拓展发展经济学的理论视野。在发展经济学的分析框架中研究发达国家早期发展历程,并将其与当今发展中国家经济发展进行垮期比较研究的客观基础。这种跨期比较研究既能为发展经济学提供更丰富的经验素材,并从经济发展思想史中吸取思想营养,使其理论视野更为广阔、逻辑更为严谨,又能为当今发展中国家选择发展道路提供更为丰富具体的历史参照系和更深入的理论阐释。     

Die Wirkung des Toluidinblaus und der Thrombokinase auf den Vorgang der Thrombininaktivierung

Summary The disappearance of thrombin—formed in the blood, or added to serum-follows a manomolecular reaction-type. Heparin increases the reaction-velocity of this thrombin-inactivating process.Our investigation established that toluidine blue or kinase, which, according to the literature, bind heparin, strongly reduce the speed of thrombin-inactivation too. Therefore the heparin-binding capacity of these substances is also manifested in the decrease of thrombin-inactivation.
