Plant consumption in coastal populations of the lizard Tropidurus torquatus (Reptilia: Squamata: Tropiduridae): how do herbivory rates vary along their geographic range?

Tropidurus torquatus lizards commonly consume vegetal matter as part of their diet. However, it is not known to what extent the rate of consumption of plant material varies among populations. We investigated the consumption of plant material in 10 populations of T. torquatus in eastern Brazil. In all populations, lizards consumed plant matter (especially fruits and flowers). The proportion of plant volume in the diet varied from 2.1% to 58.0% of the total volume consumed. Differences in volumetric proportion of plant material consumed did not result from lizard body size or population latitude. The volumetric proportion of plant material did not differ between sexes at each locality; however, there was a slight trend for larger lizards to consume more plant parts. The data obtained indicate that the observed interpopulational variation in plant consumption by T. torquatus results from local environmental factors, mainly the availability of plant matter.     

A new species of the dentipes-subgroup of Triconia and a redescription of T. giesbrechti and T. elongata (Copepoda: Cyclopoida: Oncaeidae) from the tropical Pacific and the Korea Strait

A new species of Triconia in the family Oncaeidae, Triconia pacifica sp. nov., and a new form variant each of Triconia giesbrechti Böttger-Schnack and Triconia elongata Böttger-Schnack are described from two sites in the Pacific. Triconia pacifica can be distinguished from its sibling Triconia dentipes (Giesbrecht) by (1) morphometric characters, including the proportional lengths of distal endopod spines of swimming leg 4, and the relative length of the outer basal seta on P5, and by (2) a number of micro-structures on the appendages. The Pacific specimens of T. elongata and T. giesbrechti resemble the typical forms in morphometric characters, with some minor differences in proportional spine lengths on the swimming legs, and differ in a few micro-structures. The hitherto unknown male of T. giesbrechti is newly described. For all species/forms described, the intraspecific variability of proportional spine lengths on the endopods of P2–P4 is examined and discussed. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6B41B0E2-0A5C-458B-8F9C-25000F208E24

0604号强热带风暴"碧丽斯"演变特征及灾害成因初步研究

0604号强热带风暴“碧丽斯”是一个怪异的热带气旋,具有“偏心结构”、外围风速远大于中心附近、登陆后残留低压长时间维持、登陆西行过程中引发华南和江南南部地区持续强降水等特点,强降水给南方六省(区)造成重大灾害。分析表明,风暴中心与北侧副热带高压之间的强气压梯度造成外围更大的梯度风,华南和江南南部地区持续性强降水是风暴残留低压与外围螺旋云带、季风云涌相互作用所致;而小流域洪水、泥石流等灾害正是由于持续性强降水所造成的。

爆发性气旋的发生发展及其影响的综合诊断分析

为了研究爆发性气旋在发生发展过程中的特征 ,对 1 980～ 1 996年期间影响盐城市的 1 0个爆发性气旋采用固定坐标进行合成诊断分析。结果表明 :初夏季节江淮气旋在其东移发展过程中 ,在地面江淮气旋西北侧的 85 0 h Pa或 70 0 h Pa上有较强的冷中心存在是气旋爆发性发展的有利条件之一 ;而 85 0 h Pa散度的辐散辐合以及 70 0 h Pa垂直速度的上升下沉的相间分布则是江淮气旋得到爆发性发展的另一个重要条件。依据这一结果 ,可对产生于长江中下游地区的江淮气旋能否得到爆发性发展进行判断并进而对其所造成的影响作出分析和预报     

北方气旋和南方气旋发展的反演对比分析

通过Ｄａｖｉｓ扰动位涡反演方法,对北方和南方气分别进行反演诊断和对比分析,结果表明：北方气旋的发展具有显著的中纬度斜压扰动发展特征。低层锋区扰动强迫是中低层气的最主要因子,低层位涡扰动反演所得的负位势扰动大值中心位于气旋的前方,有导前现象,为气旋继继东移,发展提供一个铺垫,高层系统起着间接强迫作用,高层槽脊系统的发展和低层锋区的相互作用所致的斜压扰动成为气旋发展的重要机制。南方气旋发展的主要因子中
